Antec C8 Curve Wood - Black

Back-connect motherboard support allows you to route all your primary motherboard cables (CPU power, ATX power, front panel connectors, fan headers) through the back of the motherboard tray. This results in a significantly cleaner-looking front panel and interior, as well as improved airflow by reducing cable clutter in the main chamber.

Yes, the Antec C8 Curve Wood is designed to support up to three 360mm radiators simultaneously. These can be mounted on the top, bottom, and side panels, offering extreme cooling potential for high-end systems.

For routine cleaning, use a dry, soft cloth to dust the surface. If more thorough cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth and then immediately wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the wood finish.

The Antec C8 Curve Wood supports E-ATX (up to 280mm width), ATX, Micro-ATX, and ITX motherboard form factors.

The product description does not specify that fans are included. It highlights the case's capacity to support up to 10 fans and multiple radiators, suggesting that users may need to purchase fans separately to achieve optimal cooling.

The case provides ample space for graphics cards up to 440mm in length.

The case supports a total of up to three drives: one 3.5" HDD and two 2.5" SSDs, utilizing modular drive trays.

Check all fan power connections to the motherboard or fan controller. Ensure the fan headers are properly seated and that the fans themselves are functional by testing them individually.

Verify that all fans are oriented correctly for intake or exhaust. Clean dust filters, especially the bottom pull-out filter, as blockages significantly reduce airflow. Ensure no cables are obstructing fan blades or airflow paths.

If using the back-connect motherboard feature, double-check that all motherboard standoffs are correctly installed and that no stray screws are causing shorts. Ensure the motherboard is properly seated on the standoffs and all necessary power and data cables are connected.

Confirm the GPU length (440mm max) and width clearance. Remove any necessary drive cages or fan brackets that might be obstructing the installation path. Ensure the motherboard is fully seated and the PCIe slot is clear.

Verify the internal USB header connections to the motherboard are secure. Check that the necessary drivers are installed for the motherboard chipset and USB controllers. Test with different USB devices.
