Operasjon

Tilkobling på frontpanelet

The top panel of the VK4 Rainbow case provides convenient access to essential ports:

• 2x USB 3.0-porter: For høyhastighets dataoverføring med kompatible enheter.
• 1x TRRS Port: A combined audio jack for headsets with a single 3.5mm plug (microphone and audio).
• Strømknapp: To turn your system on/off.
• Tilbakestill-knapp: For å starte systemet på nytt.

Vifte av drift

The four pre-installed 120mm rainbow effect fans are connected via Molex connectors. Due to this connection type, the fans operate at a constant speed and their speed cannot be adjusted via the motherboard. This ensures consistent airflow but may result in a noticeable fan noise level.

Vedlikehold

Regelmessig vedlikehold bidrar til å sikre optimal ytelse og levetid for PC-komponentene dine.

Rengjøring av støvfilter

• The VK4 Rainbow features pre-installed dust filters at all air intake points (front, top, and bottom).
• Periodically remove and clean these filters to prevent dust buildup inside the case, which can impede airflow and component cooling.
• Filters can typically be cleaned with compressed air or by rinsing with water and allowing them to dry completely before reinstallation.

Generell rengjøring

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the case.
• For det herdede glasspanelet, bruk et glassrensemiddel og en mikrofiberklut for å unngå striper.
• Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before performing any cleaning inside the case.

Feilsøking

Denne delen tar for seg vanlige problemer du kan støte på.

• High Fan Noise: The pre-installed fans are connected via Molex and operate at a constant speed. If fan noise is a concern, consider replacing the fans with PWM-controlled alternatives that can be regulated by your motherboard.
• Dårlig luftstrøm/overoppheting:
  • Check if dust filters are clean and not obstructed.
  • Ensure all case fans are spinning correctly.
  • Verify that cables are neatly managed and not blocking airflow paths.
• Vanskeligheter med kabelhåndtering: While the case offers space, complex builds with many components may require careful planning. Utilize cable ties and routing channels effectively.
• Frontpanelporter fungerer ikke:
  • Ensure the front panel connectors (USB 3.0, audio, power, reset) are correctly plugged into the motherboard headers.
  • Check your motherboard manual for correct header pinouts.
