Troubleshooting
Digital display not turning on
Ensure the display's power and data cables are securely connected to the motherboard or the designated internal USB header. Verify that the motherboard has power.
Poor airflow
Check for obstructions in front of intake fans. Ensure dust filters are clean. Consider replacing the semi-glass panel with the mesh upgrade (sold separately) and installing additional fans.
Components overheating
Verify fan and radiator configurations are optimal. Ensure all fans are spinning correctly. Check the digital display for temperature readings and adjust fan speeds accordingly. Clean any dust buildup.
