Troubleshooting

System not powering on

Ensure the power supply unit is correctly connected to the motherboard and wall outlet. Check that the front panel power switch is properly connected to the motherboard headers.

Overheating components

Verify that all fans are spinning and oriented correctly for airflow. Ensure no cables are obstructing fan blades or airflow paths. Check that dust filters are clean and not blocking air intake.

USB ports not working

Confirm that the USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2x2 headers are correctly plugged into the motherboard. Try connecting a different USB device to test functionality.

Noisy operation

Identify which fan is producing noise. Check for loose fan screws or obstructions. If the noise persists, consider replacing the fan or adjusting fan curves in the BIOS.

Difficulty installing large components

Consult the manual for specific component clearance. Ensure the motherboard tray and drive bays are configured correctly for your chosen hardware. Remove any unnecessary internal brackets before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Innovative vertical airflow design promotes excellent cooling.
  • Premium materials (aluminum, steel, tempered glass) ensure durability and a high-end feel.
  • Thoughtful cable management features contribute to a clean internal aesthetic.
  • Integrated RGB lighting adds visual appeal.
  • Ample space for radiators and fans allows for advanced cooling configurations.

Cons

  • The Midi Tower form factor is larger than standard cases, requiring more desk space.
  • The weight (14.2 kg) makes it less portable once built.
  • The all-encompassing design might make initial component installation slightly more involved for beginners.
  • Reliance on specific fan and radiator placements for optimal airflow.
  • The see-through glass, while aesthetically pleasing, requires diligent cable management to maintain a clean look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Evolv X2 supports a wide array of motherboard sizes, including ATX, EATX, micro ATX, and Mini-ITX. It accommodates CPU coolers up to 17 cm tall and graphics cards up to 38 cm long. Power supplies can be up to 25 cm in length. Storage options include two 3.5" bays and five 2.5" bays.

Setup: Begin by installing your motherboard, ensuring it aligns with the standoffs. Install your CPU cooler and RAM before placing the motherboard into the chassis. Mount your graphics card in the appropriate expansion slot. Connect storage drives to the available bays and then proceed to connect power supply cables, utilizing the large cover door for cable management. The chassis includes screws and necessary hardware for installation.

Care: To maintain the premium look, dust the exterior aluminum panels and tempered glass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For internal cleaning, ensure the system is powered off and unplugged. Remove dust filters periodically and clean them with compressed air or a mild soap and water solution, ensuring they are completely dry before reinstallation. Avoid abrasive cleaners on any part of the chassis.
