How to use

Install a compatible motherboard (ATX, mATX or Mini-ITX) on the dedicated standoffs and secure it with screws. Mount the PSU into the built-in compartment and route cables using the case’s cable management openings. Install drives in the provided combo and 2.5" bays. Fit the GPU within the 365 mm clearance and the CPU cooler within the 158 mm height limit. Connect the preinstalled fans and front-panel cables to the motherboard or the included fan/LED controllers, then adjust fan speeds and LED patterns via the onboard controllers.

Recommendations

For optimal airflow, configure intake fans at the front and bottom and exhaust fans at the rear and top. Verify radiator size compatibility before installing an AIO cooler in the front (supports up to 360 mm) or rear (120 mm). Use the fan controller to balance noise and cooling performance according to system load.
