FAQs

Can I use an ATX motherboard with this case?

No, the MasterFrame 400 Mesh is specifically engineered for Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX builds.

Does this case include dust filters?

No, the open-frame design does not utilize traditional dust filters, requiring more frequent manual cleaning.

What is the maximum radiator size supported?

It supports up to a 360mm radiator mounted at the top.

Does the GPU bracket support all card sizes?

The bracket is adjustable and compatible with the vast majority of modern GPUs up to 390mm in length.

Is the SickleFlow fan addressable?

Yes, the pre-installed 120mm SickleFlow fan features ARGB lighting compatible with major motherboard sync software.

Troubleshooting

ARGB lighting is not working

Ensure the 3-pin ARGB header is connected correctly to a compatible 5V header on your motherboard or a separate controller.

Front I/O USB-C port is not recognized

Verify that the internal USB-C cable is fully seated in the corresponding header on your motherboard.

Components are running hotter than expected

Check that the fan orientation is configured for intake or exhaust as intended by your specific build layout, and ensure nothing is blocking the mesh areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unmatched thermal performance due to open-frame design
  • Extremely versatile mounting options for different workspace layouts
  • High-end compatibility for 360mm radiators and large GPUs
  • Premium build quality with a distinct silver aesthetic
  • Includes essential modern connectivity like USB Type-C

Cons

  • Open structure leads to rapid dust accumulation
  • No acoustic dampening for fan noise
  • Components are exposed to potential physical damage
  • Requires more maintenance than a standard closed case

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This chassis is compatible with Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. When assembling your system, ensure you utilize the provided cable management paths to maintain a clean look, as the open frame makes cable visibility inevitable.

Care instructions include:

  1. Routine Dusting: Because there are no dust filters, use compressed air at least once every two weeks to blow out accumulated particles from the heatsinks and fan blades.
  2. Periodic Checks: Since this is a modular frame, ensure all fasteners remain tight during regular cleaning, especially if you move the case between orientations.
  3. Surface Placement: Place the system on a clean, stable surface, as the open design makes components vulnerable to spills or accidental impact.
