SPEC-01

It's time to build a computer, but don't worry, we've done everything we can to make this stress-free. To begin, easily access the inside of the case by removing the rear thumbscrews and pulling out the side panel(s).

2. Installing the Motherboard

Insert the motherboard's I/O shield backplate into the case.

Before lowering the motherboard into the case, the motherboard mount holes and the case's hex-shaped standoffs (spacers) must align accordingly. The stand-offs are pre-mounted inside. You can twist and remove them if needed.

Anchor down the motherboard with the included motherboard screws.

3. Installing the PSU1. Removing the Side Panels

On the other side of the case, install the PSU under the drive bays and ensure the fan faces outward. Fasten screws to the rear of the PSU to secure its place in the case.

SPEC-01

To install a SSD, first remove the two top rear thumbscrews and slide the cover off. Push the tab down to release and lift the cage, then insert your SSD into one of the available slots. The drive locks in once fully inserted into the cage. Reinsert the cage. Keep the case top off if you later plan to install fans here,

5. Installing HDDs

Remove the top left fan grill and access the rear 3.5" HDD tray enclosure. Insert your HDD (or 2.5" SSD) into one of the open slots. Align the drive cage tray pins with the HDD mounting holes and click each pin into place. Insert the HDD tray enclosure back into the case.

6. Installing PCI-E/GPU4. Installing SSDs

Unlatch the expansion slot protector at the rear of the case, slide out one (or more) of the slot covers, and install a PCI-E/PCI card. Close -- and optionally, apply a screw to secure -- the rear protective latch.

7. Installing Front Fans

To install forward-facing fans, first remove the front panel. To do so, apply pressure to each side of the panel -- about an inch below the top, then repeat the same step an inch above the bottom - and slightly pull outwards. If the front panel doesn't remove easily after this process, it's still connected to the rest of the case; forcing the front panel free may cause damage. Insert fans and secure each fan with screws fastened through the front of the case. Align front panel and push it back into the case.

You can remove and rotate the magnetic Corsair logo to match the position of the case.

and rotate air logo to of the case.

9. Installing Top Fans

To install top fans, remove the top rear thumbscrews and slide the panel off. Insert fans and secure each fan with screws fastened through the top of the case. Slide the panel back on and refasten the rear top thumbscrews.

10. Feet Installation and Case Orientation

For enhanced stability, peel off the protective tape from the rubber feet and firmly affix each one to the bottom case corners. The location can vary depending on how the case is positioned.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the polarity matter with the I/O panel's power and reset header? No, only the LED headers.
2. Who should I contact if I received my case damaged or one of the fans is no longer working? Please go to corsair.force.com and request an RMA so that we can replace the damaged part(s)
