Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Start by installing your motherboard and PSU (up to 180mm). Utilize the dedicated 2.5" SSD trays behind the motherboard tray for a clean look.
Compatibility: This case accepts graphics cards up to 335mm with front fans installed, or 360mm if the front area is clear. Always check your AIO radiator thickness against the GPU length if you intend to front-mount a liquid cooling system.
Maintenance: To clean, simply use the hinged side panel to access the interior. The front panels are designed for easy removal; gently pull to detach and swap between the mesh or glass inserts. Use compressed air to clear dust from the fan blades and mesh panels periodically to maintain thermal efficiency.
