5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia dei filtri antipolvere

To maintain optimal airflow and cooling performance, regularly clean the dust filters. The front mesh panel is designed for easy removal and cleaning. Other filters, such as those for the top and bottom fan mounts, should also be checked and cleaned periodically.

1. Gently pull the front mesh panel to detach it.
2. Utilizzare una spazzola morbida o aria compressa per rimuovere la polvere accumulata.
3. Reattach the panel securely.

5.2 Pulizia generale

Wipe the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a soft, damp panno. Evitare l'uso di prodotti chimici aggressivi o materiali abrasivi che potrebbero danneggiare la finitura o il vetro temperato.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Le ventole non girano/RGB non si accende:
  • Assicurarsi che tutti i cavi di alimentazione delle ventole siano collegati saldamente ai connettori delle ventole della scheda madre o a un controller delle ventole.
  • Verify that the D-RGB cables are correctly connected to the integrated controller or the motherboard's D-RGB header.
  • Controlla le impostazioni BIOS/UEFI della scheda madre o il software RGB per il controllo della velocità della ventola e dell'illuminazione.
• Scarso flusso d'aria/temperature elevate:
  • Clean all dust filters, especially the front mesh panel.
  • Ensure fans are oriented correctly for optimal intake and exhaust.
  • Verify that there are no obstructions to airflow inside the case, such as poorly managed cables.
• Porte I/O anteriori non funzionanti:
  • Check that all front panel connectors (USB, audio, power, reset) are correctly plugged into the corresponding headers on your motherboard.
