Troubleshooting

ARGB lighting not working

Ensure the ARGB fan cables are correctly connected to the ARGB control board and that the control board is properly powered. Check if the control board is connected to the motherboard if necessary for software control.

Fans are noisy

Verify that fans are securely mounted. Check fan blade clearance for any obstructions. Ensure fan speed settings in BIOS or software are not excessively high.

System overheating

Confirm all fans are spinning correctly and in the correct orientation for airflow. Clean dust filters and interior components. Ensure no cables are obstructing airflow paths. Check if the CPU cooler is properly seated and thermal paste is applied correctly.

Cannot install large graphics card

Double-check the graphics card length against the maximum supported length of 300 mm. Ensure any drive cages obstructing the GPU slot are removed or repositioned if possible.

Front panel USB or audio not working

Ensure the corresponding USB and HD Audio cables are securely plugged into the correct headers on the motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for header locations.
