The case supports E-ATX (max 30.5 x 27.5 cm), ATX, M-ATX, and Mini-ITX form factors.

How does the built-in fan controller work?

The 6-channel PWM fan controller can be used in automatic mode (motherboard PWM signal) or manual mode (3 fixed speeds). The switch on the PCB allows switching between Silent and Performance modes which define the speed levels.

Can I install a watercooling radiator on top of the case?

Yes, the top supports radiators of 120, 240 or 360 mm (pay attention to component height).

How many hard drives can I install?

The case can accommodate 7 3.5" drives (including one in the HDD compartment) and up to 9 2.5" drives (3+6 with included brackets).

How to control the front LED lighting?

Briefly press the G button to cycle through colors (white, red, green, blue, orange, purple). A long press of 3 seconds switches to sync mode (control by the motherboard via the 12V RGB connector).

What is the maximum GPU length?

Without the hard drive cages, you can install a graphics card up to 430 mm. With the cages, the limit is 286 mm.

Is the tempered glass side panel reversible?

Yes, the glass panel can be mounted on the other side by unscrewing the 4 screws (with decoupling rubber) and reinstalling them symmetrically.

What connectors are provided for the front panel?

The connectors include 2x USB 3.0, 1x USB 3.1 Type C, HD Audio jacks (mic + headphone), an RGB control button, and a 4-level fan controller.

Can I connect additional LED strips?

4.4 FAN CONTROLLER

3 2 1 AUTO FAN B H Channel 1 B Channel 2

The fan controller has two modes of operation.

1. Automatic operation

In this mode the PWM signal of the motherboard is used and the speeds of all PWM fans connected can be adjusted automatically by the motherboard. The fan speed slider control must be set to its initial position of "AUTO" in this case.

In order to use the automatic PWM control of the fans it is necessary to connect the cable "A" of the PCB panel (4.3) with the PWM connector of your motherboard. Lacking such a connection it is only possible to manually control the speeds of fans connected.

2. Manual control

When the fan speed slider control is moved up from its initial position of "AUTO" the PWM signal is ignored and the fan speed can be manually set to one of three constant speeds.

In total it is possible to connect six PWM fans to the fan controller PCB. These six connections are subdivided into two channels (right and left) each with three connections. By operation of switch "H" on the PCB these channels can be switched independently from one another between "Silence" and "Performance" modes. The rate factors of the PWM fans connected here are determined as set out below according to the setting of the front I/O fan switch.

Performance ModeIn combination with the Front I/O switch50% | 800rpm* (Position 1)70% | 1,120rpm* (Position 2)100% | 1,600rpm* (Position 3)

Silence ModeIn combination with the Front I/O switch25% | 400rpm* (Position 1)45% | 640rpm* (Position 2)65% | 1,040rpm* (Position 3)

*with SilentWings® 3 1,600rpm

When the slider control is returned to its initial position of "AUTO" the PWM signal of the motherboard resumes control of the fans.

4.5 HANDLING OF THE LED ILLUMINATION

The LED illumination preinstalled in the front can be configured in several colors and operating modes. Further strips of LED illumination for lighting the case interior can be plugged into socket "D" on LED controller PCB (4.3) with a maximum combined rating of 24 watts.

WARNING! Only 12V LEDs may be connected.

To switch between synchronized operation and manual control mode keep switch "G" pressed for about three seconds.

Synchronized operation

It is possible to connect cable “C” of the PCB (4.3) and the corresponding RGB LED controller socket of your motherboard. The integrated illumination can then be controlled by the motherboard.

For information on operation of the LED controller of your motherboard refer to your motherboard handbook.

In manual mode you can cycle through the available colors (white, red, green, blue, orange, purple) by briefly pressing switch "G". An intermediate stage between each color enables "breath mode" for the previously selected color.

The individual switch stages are:

1 White 8 Blue breath
2 White breath 9 Orange
3 Red 10 Orange breath
4 Red breath 11 Purple
5 Green 12 Purple breath
6 Green breath 13 Breath mode alternately in all colors
7 Blue 14 LEDs off
