What is the maximum GPU length the case supports?
The case supports graphics cards up to 380mm in length.
Can I mount a 360mm AIO radiator?
Yes, the Lancool 217 supports top radiator sizes of up to 360mm.
What motherboard form factors are supported?
It supports ATX, EATX, SSI EEB, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. Back-connect motherboards (ATX, Micro-ATX) are also supported.
How do I clean the dust filters?
The magnetic dust filters at the front and bottom can be removed by gently pulling them off. Clean them by tapping off dust or washing with mild soap and water, ensuring they are fully dry before reattaching.
Does the case come with a power supply?
No, the power supply is not included with the case. You will need to purchase a compatible ATX or compact PSU separately.
How is the wood accent maintained?
The wood accents should be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
PC will not power on.
Ensure the PSU is correctly connected to the wall outlet and the power switch on the PSU is in the 'On' position. Verify that the case's front panel power switch is correctly connected to the motherboard headers.
Poor airflow or high component temperatures.
Check that all fans are spinning in the correct direction for optimal airflow (intake at front/bottom, exhaust at rear/top). Ensure no cables are obstructing fan blades. Clean dust filters if they appear clogged. Verify fan mounting and placement for CPU/GPU cooling.
Motherboard does not fit or causes compatibility issues.
Confirm the installed motherboard form factor (ATX, EATX, SSI EEB, etc.) is supported by the case. Refer to the 'Motherboard Compatibility' section for specific dimensions and back-connect support.
Difficulty installing large graphics cards.
Ensure the graphics card length does not exceed the 380mm maximum supported length. If installing vertically, confirm sufficient clearance and that the PCIe slot bracket is correctly positioned.
PSU installation issues or limited cable space.
Experiment with the dual PSU mounting options (standard vs. rotated) to find the best configuration for your PSU size and cable management. Removing the PSU shroud cover can also provide additional space.
