FAQs

What type of motherboard does this case support?

The Cooler Master Sneaker X case is designed exclusively for Mini-ITX motherboards.

Does it come with a power supply?

Yes, this case includes a pre-installed SFX 850W Gold rated power supply.

What cooling solution is included with the case?

The case comes with a pre-installed Cooler Master Flux 360mm AIO (All-in-One) liquid cooler for the CPU, along with a 12cm MF120 Halo fan.

How many storage drives can I install?

The Cooler Master Sneaker X has one dedicated 2.5-inch drive bay for SSDs or HDDs.

Are the dimensions compact enough for a small desk?

While it supports Mini-ITX, the case dimensions are 348mm (height) x 650mm (depth) x 306mm (width). Users should measure their space as the depth can be considerable.

How do I control the ARGB lighting?

The ARGB lighting can typically be controlled through your motherboard's ARGB software (if compatible) or Cooler Master's MasterPlus+ software, depending on how the ARGB components are connected.

Is a PCIe riser cable included for the graphics card?

Yes, a riser cable is included to facilitate vertical mounting of the graphics card.

Troubleshooting

ARGB lighting is not working or syncing.

Check all ARGB cables are securely connected to the motherboard's ARGB header or a dedicated ARGB controller. Ensure the correct software (e.g., Cooler Master MasterPlus+) is installed and configured for your ARGB devices.

System is overheating despite the AIO cooler.

Verify that the AIO pump is running and the cold plate is properly seated on the CPU. Check if the radiator fans are spinning and oriented correctly for airflow (intake or exhaust). Clean any dust buildup on the radiator fins and fan blades. Ensure thermal paste on the CPU is applied correctly.

Graphics card (GPU) is not detected.

Ensure the riser cable is firmly seated in both the motherboard's PCIe slot and the GPU's PCIe slot. Check that the GPU has proper power connections from the PSU. Try reseating the GPU and riser cable. Test the GPU directly in the motherboard's slot if possible, to rule out a riser cable issue.

System powers on but no display output.

Check all monitor cables and ensure they are connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports. Reseat the GPU, RAM modules, and check the riser cable connection. Try booting with one RAM stick to isolate potential memory issues.

Limited space for cable management leading to poor airflow.

Carefully plan cable routes before installation. Utilize any tie-down points or Velcro straps provided with the case or motherboard. Flat or braided cables can offer more flexibility. Focus on routing essential cables first and bundling them neatly away from direct airflow paths.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for high-performance compact gaming setups due to efficient cooling and PSU.
  • Stylish and unique aesthetic design stands out.
  • Efficient and powerful 850W Gold SFX PSU is included, saving selection hassle.
  • Excellent thermal management with the integrated Flux 360mm AIO cooler.
  • Vibrant ARGB lighting for personalization and immersive experience.
  • Includes a riser cable for flexible GPU orientation.

Cons

  • Limited to Mini-ITX motherboards only, restricting upgrade options.
  • Only one 2.5" storage bay available, which may be insufficient for some users.
  • Unique design may not appeal to all users.
  • Due to compact size, cable management can be challenging.
  • Potentially larger footprint (650mm depth) than typical 'mini' ITX cases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the case from its packaging. Note the pre-installed SFX PSU and Flux 360mm AIO.
  2. Motherboard Installation: Install your Mini-ITX motherboard. Ensure all standoffs are aligned correctly.
  3. CPU & RAM: Install your CPU onto the motherboard before mounting the AIO cold plate. Install RAM modules into the motherboard slots.
  4. AIO Mounting: Secure the Flux 360mm AIO cold plate to your CPU. Mount the AIO radiator and fans within the designated areas, typically at the top or front, ensuring tubes are not kinked.
  5. Storage: Install your 2.5" SSD/HDD into the single available bay.
  6. Graphics Card: Connect your graphics card to the included riser cable, then secure the graphics card within the chassis. Ensure the riser cable is properly seated on the motherboard's PCIe slot.
  7. Cabling: Connect all power cables from the SFX PSU to the motherboard, GPU, and other components. Connect AIO pump and fan headers. Cable management can be tight due to the compact nature; plan routes carefully.

Compatibility

  • Motherboards: Exclusively supports Mini-ITX motherboards.
  • Power Supply: Comes with an SFX 850W Gold PSU. Only SFX form factor PSUs are compatible for replacements.
  • Storage: One 2.5" drive bay.
  • Cooling: Pre-installed Flux 360mm AIO. Supports liquid cooling configurations compatible with the chassis's dimensions.
  • Fans: Includes one 12cm MF120 Halo fan. Supports additional PWM fans as space allows.

Care

  • Dust Cleaning: Regularly use compressed air to clean dust from fan filters, radiators, and internal components to maintain optimal airflow and cooling performance.
  • Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the Aluminium, Plastic, and Steel finishes.
  • Liquid Cooler Check: Periodically inspect the AIO tubes for any signs of leaks or damage. While rare, early detection can prevent issues.
  • Cable Management: Re-evaluate cable routing if temperatures rise or airflow seems restricted. Good cable management improves both aesthetics and cooling.
