What is the maximum GPU length supported by this case?

The case supports GPUs up to 388mm in length with front fans installed, and up to 413mm if no front fans are present.

What is the maximum CPU cooler height I can use?

The DeepCool CH260 can accommodate CPU coolers with a maximum height of 174mm.

How many storage drives can I install in the CH260?

Does the CH260 support liquid cooling radiators?

Yes, it supports radiators up to 360mm on the top panel and a 120mm radiator on the rear panel.

What type of power supply does the CH260 use?

It uses ATX PS2 type power supplies, with a maximum length restriction of 150mm.

What front I/O ports are available on the case?

The front I/O includes 2x USB 3.0 ports, 1x Gen2 Type-C port, and a combined Audio/Mic jack.

Troubleshooting

Poor airflow or higher-than-expected temperatures.

Ensure all fan slots are populated with correctly oriented fans (e.g., front for intake, top/rear for exhaust). Check for proper cable management to avoid obstructions, and regularly clean the mesh panels for dust.

Graphics card or CPU cooler does not fit.

Double-check your component dimensions against the case's specifications (GPU max length 388/413mm, CPU cooler max height 174mm). Ensure you've accounted for front fans if installing a long GPU.

Power supply does not fit into the bay.

Verify that your power supply is an ATX PS2 type and its length does not exceed 150mm. Some modular PSUs with protruding cables might also exceed effective length.

Front I/O ports (USB, audio) are not functional.

Ensure all front panel cables are securely connected to the correct headers on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard's manual for header locations.

Tempered glass panel is difficult to remove or install.

Handle the tempered glass panel with care. Ensure all mounting screws are completely loosened or removed. Align the panel correctly with its mounting points during reinstallation to avoid force.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent Airflow: Full mesh panels deliver superior cooling performance, critical for gaming rigs.
Compact Size: Micro-ATX form factor saves desk space without sacrificing component support.
Aesthetic Appeal: Tempered glass side panel beautifully showcases internal components.
Versatile Cooling Options: Supports numerous fan and radiator configurations for both air and liquid cooling.
Rear Connector Motherboard Ready: Optimized for modern motherboards with rear-mounted connectors, simplifying cable management.
Good Component Compatibility: Ample clearance for high-end GPUs and CPU coolers.
Modern Connectivity: Includes USB 3.0 and Gen2 Type-C on the front I/O.

Cons

No Pre-installed Fans: Users must purchase and install their own fans, adding to the initial cost and setup time.
Limited Drive Bays: Only one 3.5" and one 2.5" drive bay may be restrictive for users with multiple storage devices.
PSU Length Restriction: Maximum PSU length of 150mm requires careful power supply selection.
Compact Interior for Cable Management: While supporting rear connector motherboards, general cable routing space might be tight for non-rear connector boards or very intricate setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup Guide

Preparation: Unpack the case and gather your components (motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU, storage drives, and *fans*).
Motherboard Installation: Carefully install your Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX motherboard into the case, securing it with the provided standoffs and screws. If using a rear connector motherboard, take advantage of the wider backplane clearance for easier connection.
Power Supply Installation: Mount your ATX PS2 power supply (max length 150mm) into its designated bay, typically at the bottom rear of the case.
Fan/Radiator Installation: Install your chosen fans or radiators. Refer to the fan support specifications (Front: 2x 120mm, Top: 3x 120mm / 2x 140mm, Rear: 1x 120mm) and radiator support (Top: 120/240/360mm, Rear: 120mm).
Component Installation: Install your CPU cooler (max height 174mm), graphics card (max length 388mm with front fans, 413mm without), and storage drives (1x 3.5", 1x 2.5").
Cable Management: Utilize the provided cable routing channels and tie-down points to manage cables neatly behind the motherboard tray. This improves airflow and aesthetics.
Front I/O Connections: Connect the front panel USB, Type-C, and audio headers to your motherboard.

Compatibility Notes

Motherboards: Supports Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, and Micro-ATX (Rear Connector) motherboards.
GPU: Maximum length of 388mm (with front fans) or 413mm (without front fans). Always verify your GPU length.
CPU Cooler: Maximum height of 174mm. Ensure your chosen air cooler fits.
PSU: ATX PS2 power supplies only, with a strict maximum length of 150mm.
Storage: Limited to one 3.5" HDD and one 2.5" SSD/HDD. Consider external storage or M.2 NVMe drives if more storage is needed.

Care & Maintenance

Dust Management: Regularly clean the mesh panels (front and top) to prevent dust buildup, which can restrict airflow. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
Interior Cleaning: Periodically open the side panel and use compressed air to clean dust from internal components, especially CPU cooler fins and GPU heatsinks.
Tempered Glass: Clean the tempered glass panel with a microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
Cable Check: Occasionally check cable connections to ensure they are secure and not obstructing airflow.
