3. 操作
3.1 空気の流れと冷却
The Fractal Design Epoch is engineered for high airflow to ensure optimal cooling performance for your components. The mesh front panel and ventilated top panel facilitate unrestricted air intake and exhaust. The three pre-installed Momentum 12 fans are strategically placed to create an efficient airflow path, drawing cool air in and expelling hot air. Ensure that no internal cables or components obstruct the airflow pathways for best thermal performance.
4. メンテナンス
4.1 クリーニング
Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your PC components. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the case. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp 布で拭いた後、乾いた布で拭いてください。研磨剤入りの洗剤や溶剤は使用しないでください。
4.2 ダストフィルター
The Epoch case is equipped with dust filters to prevent dust buildup inside the system. Periodically remove and clean these filters. They can typically be rinsed with water and allowed to air dry completely before reinstallation. Refer to the specific filter locations in your case for removal instructions.
5。 トラブルシューティング
5.1 よくある問題
- 過熱コンポーネント: Ensure all fans are spinning correctly and are not obstructed. Verify proper cable management to allow for unrestricted airflow. Clean dust filters regularly.
- ファンの騒音が大きすぎる: Check if fan blades are clean and free from obstructions. Ensure fans are securely mounted. If a fan is excessively noisy, it may require replacement.
- フロントパネルのI/Oが動作しない: Verify that all front panel connectors (USB, audio, power/reset buttons) are correctly connected to the motherboard headers. Refer to your motherboard manual for correct pin assignments.
- コンポーネントのインストールが困難: Double-check component compatibility with the case specifications (e.g., GPU length, radiator size). Ensure all screws and standoffs are correctly aligned.
