6 Issolvi l-problemi
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Fans not spinning or ARGB not lighting up. | Loose power connection to fan controller or fans. Incorrect ARGB header connection. | Check all power cables to the fan controller and individual fans. Ensure the ARGB cable from the controller is correctly connected to the motherboard's 3-pin 5V ARGB header (not 4-pin 12V RGB). Try cycling modes with the LED button. |
| Fluss tal-arja fqir jew temperaturi għoljin. | Dust buildup on filters or fans. Incorrect fan orientation. Obstruction inside the case. | Clean dust filters and fan blades. Verify fan orientation (pre-installed fans are optimized for airflow). Ensure cables are neatly managed and not obstructing airflow. |
| Front I/O ports not functioning. | Loose or incorrect internal header connections to the motherboard. | Check the USB 2.0, USB 3.0, Type-C, and HD-AUDIO cables are securely connected to the correct headers on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for header locations. |
