Product Information

Full details

The Kolink Big Chungus Shredded PC Case is designed for PC builders who prioritize a unique aesthetic and robust airflow for their gaming setups. Its standout feature is the 'shredded' futuristic design with elevated panels and integrated RGB fans for a dynamic cyberpunk look, alongside excellent cooling potential. However, its unconventional design may present challenges for those accustomed to standard case layouts, and the 310mm GPU clearance might limit the very largest high-end cards.

What storage drives can I install?

What is the material of the case?

The case is constructed from SPCC steel and features tempered glass side panels.

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.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Case: Open both side panels (tempered glass and the opposite solid panel) by removing the rear screws.
  2. Install Motherboard: Carefully place the ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboard into the chassis, aligning it with the standoffs, and secure it with screws.
  3. Install PSU: Mount the ATX power supply into the designated compartment at the bottom rear of the case.
  4. Install Storage: Mount the 3.5" HDD and 2.5" SSDs into their respective bays/mounts.
  5. Install GPU: Insert the graphics card into the appropriate expansion slot and secure it.
  6. Connect Cables: Connect motherboard power, CPU power, storage drives, and front panel I/O cables (power button, USB, audio).
  7. Manage Cables: Utilize the space behind the motherboard tray and included tie-down points for clean cable management.
  8. Install Fans/Radiators: If not using included fans or adding radiators, install them in the designated front, top, or rear locations.
  9. Connect RGB: Connect the RGB fans to the Umbra Core Controller or motherboard ARGB headers.
  10. Close Panels: Reattach the side panels.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to clean the exterior panels and tempered glass. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Dust Management: Regularly check and clean dust filters, especially those on the front intake. Compressed air can be used to blow dust out of fans and heatsinks.
  • Fan Maintenance: Periodically check fans for dust buildup and ensure they spin freely. Lubrication is generally not required for modern bearing types unless noise becomes an issue.
  • Cable Management: Periodically check cable connections to ensure they remain secure.
