How to use

Install motherboard and power supply according to manufacturer instructions and use the integrated cable routing channels to organize cables behind the motherboard tray. Mount cooling components in the front or top areas according to desired airflow: up to three fans or a 360 mm radiator at the front, and up to two fans or a 240 mm radiator at the top. If installing a graphics card vertically, rotate the PCIe slot assembly 90° and use an appropriate riser cable; ensure the riser cable and GPU are securely supported to prevent sagging.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling performance and low noise, pair the case with high-airflow fans and a compatible radiator size for your front or top mounting. When using vertical GPU mounting, use a supported riser cable and check clearance for cooler height and GPU length before final assembly.
