Troubleshooting
PC will not power on
Ensure the power supply is correctly connected to the wall outlet and the case's power button. Verify the motherboard's front panel connectors are properly seated.
ARGB lighting not working or incorrect colors
Check that the ARGB fans are connected to a compatible 3-pin 5VDG header on the motherboard or the dedicated RGB controller. Ensure motherboard software or the remote control is configured correctly.
Overheating components
Verify that all fans are spinning and oriented correctly for optimal airflow. Clean dust filters and ensure no cables are obstructing airflow paths. Consider adding more case fans or a higher-performance CPU cooler.
Front panel USB ports not functioning
Confirm that the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 headers from the case are correctly plugged into the corresponding ports on the motherboard.
Difficulty installing large graphics card
Double-check the maximum GPU length specification (34.5cm) and ensure your card does not exceed this. You may need to remove drive cages or reposition cables to make space.

Setup:
- Open the hinged tempered glass side panel by pulling the tab.
- Install your ATX power supply at the bottom, ensuring the fan faces downwards to draw cool air.
- Mount your motherboard (micro ATX or Mini-ITX) onto the standoffs inside the case.
- Install your CPU cooler, ensuring it does not exceed the 19cm height limit.
- Install your graphics card into the appropriate expansion slots, respecting the length limit.
- Connect storage drives (2.5" SSDs or 3.5" HDDs) to the designated bays or cage.
- Connect all necessary power and data cables, utilizing the cable management space behind the motherboard tray and PSU shroud.
- Connect front panel I/O cables (USB, audio, power button) to the motherboard.
- Connect the ARGB fans to the motherboard's 3-Pin 5VDG connector or the included RGB controller, if desired.
- Close the tempered glass side panel.
Care:
- Cleaning the Mesh: Periodically remove the front mesh panel and gently clean it with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust buildup and maintain airflow. The magnetic top dust filter can be removed and washed with water (ensure it's completely dry before reinstallation).
- Tempered Glass: Clean the side panel with a microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Internal Dusting: Use compressed air to blow dust out of fans, heatsinks, and other internal components. It's recommended to do this with the PC powered off and unplugged.
