The Chieftec AZ-01B-OP includes dust filters to prevent dust buildup inside the system. Periodically remove and clean these filters (e.g., with compressed air or by washing with water and allowing to dry completely) to maintain optimal airflow and cooling performance.

Risoluzione dei problemi

Se riscontri problemi, prendi in considerazione le seguenti soluzioni comuni:

• Nessun potere: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet. Check that the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify all internal power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, GPU power) are correctly seated.
• Nessuna visualizzazione: Confirm the monitor is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports, unless you are using integrated graphics). Reseat the graphics card and RAM modules.
• Surriscaldamento: Check that all case fans and CPU cooler fans are spinning. Ensure dust filters are clean and not obstructing airflow. Verify proper thermal paste application on the CPU.
• Rumore insolito: Identify the source of the noise. It could be a loose cable hitting a fan, a faulty fan, or a hard drive. Secure loose components or replace faulty fans.
