Troubleshooting
PC does not power on.
Ensure the PSU switch is on and the power cord is securely connected. Verify the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the motherboard. Check that the PSU is functional.
RGB lighting not working.
Confirm that the ARGB cables from the fans are correctly connected to the Umbra Core Controller or motherboard ARGB headers. Ensure the controller is powered and connected to the motherboard if applicable. Check motherboard software settings for ARGB control.
Overheating components.
Verify all fans are spinning correctly and in the proper direction for airflow. Clean dust filters and internal components. Ensure thermal paste is properly applied to the CPU. Check that cable management is not obstructing airflow.
USB or Audio ports not functioning.
Check that the front panel USB and audio cables are securely connected to the motherboard headers. Ensure the necessary drivers are installed on your operating system.
Difficulty fitting large graphics card.
Double-check the maximum GPU length specification (310mm). Remove any drive cages or obstructions in the path of the GPU if possible. Ensure the GPU is correctly seated in the PCIe slot.
