Ok I figured out the RGB sync to motherboard cable for anyone who wants to know. Connect the 4 pin addressable RGB cable to your motherboard and plug the other end into the case fan cable that is labeled "Main". You will need to unplug that cable from the top case button that allows you to change colours, this button will no longer work as your motherboard is now syncing the colours. Also make sure to unplug the SATA cable.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM hey i noticed when i pick up the pc the side panels are bending is that normal let me know not the temper glass the other side
Its is my first time building a pc and I am quite young so not the most knowledgable but I definitely agree that the cables are MESS. This video helped me thanks!
@@ryn7328do you have the ADDRGB version of the case? If so & you want your MB to control the fans and lights you disconnect the header coming from the circuit board and attach the connector shipped to it and plug into your 3 pin RBG pins on your MB.
Thanks for the vid as I just popped off the front panel to clean the 3 front fans as they were quite dusty. I just didn't want to force it & break anything without a little guidance first. :)
Hi I am building my first pc in this case and I have figured out how to get the fans to spin but I am completely lost on the RGB cables. Where does the extra cable in the plastic bag plug into if it is needed? The motherboard I have is a Gigabyte Aorus b550 Elite ax v2. I have probably spent around 2 hours on all these cables and I don't want to spend even more time on it... Please help if you can.
Sorry for late reply been a long day at work, so there is a SATA Power Cable from the case that needs to be plugged into your PSU Sata Connector cable. After this ensure the Addressable RGB Cable goes into the ARGB Header on your MB ensuring the arrow from the VDG/ARGB Cable is on the side where it says 5V so it's powered correctly. Gigabyte's software isn't that great so getting the colors working with software can be problematic so if that doesn't work I'd use the case or if possible in the BIOS it'll let you set a solid color to be used. It will depend on the MB though. Remember that there are two different ARGB Cables from the case and you only need to use one of them, in your situation using a Gigabyte MB the VDG cable is the one you want to use. Hope that helps.
I'm trying to remove the front panel with all my might like I'm hulk. How do you easily pop it off? Is mine screwed on or something? It's a prebuilt if that makes a difference
At 8:01 in the video I show taking off the Front Panel, it does take a fair bit of pressure to remove. If yours is a prebuilt it could be possible they did something to make taking it off harder but can't say for certain. You could look inside the front, there are 6 spots that should be plastic and you could squeeze them a little and each one will loosen to help remove it. Hope that helps.
I got everything working except for the four fans that come with the case. Rbg is working but the fans aren't spinning. Is the 4pin wire with the fans have to go into my motherboard in a fan slot?
Hi Dennis! My case fan lights are working, but the fans are not spinning/reading in bios. I recently changed motherboards from an Asus(never had problems) to an ASRock. Everything looks to be plugged in right, and the fan cables are daisy chained to one main line to the power supply(although I do not see any 3 prong cable to connect to the MB) Do you know what might be the issue?
If the fans are not spinning, check that the Fan Hub for the case is plugged into the Motherboard, there is one cable that come off the hub that needs to go to the MB in order to power the fans.
Hello. I need to connect fans to the board to make them spin. There is a 4-pin wire from the fans, but my board has only one 3-pin connector. Can I connect there? Board - Asrock h61M VG3
As long as your connecting to a System Fan Header, you just need to line up the tabs from both the MB and Fan connector and it'll work. However only use 3 fans max or it could short out the Fan Header.
Thanks for sharing this video. Cleaned the dust out of mine today for the 2nd time but was wondering how to take that front panel off (to clean those 3 fans) without breaking anything. I guess I didn't pull it hard enough but again didn't want to force it off. Appreciate it. Now I know. :)
It is sufficient for high end gaming, its not the very best Airflow but does work. I sold it to someone that has been doing nothing but gaming and its working great. It doesn't overheat from what he has told me.
Check all your cables are plugged in, there should be one going to the either ARGB or RGB depends on the connector, 3 Pin is ARGB and 4 Pin is RGB then its just a matter of adjusting it with the RGB Software from the Motherboard. Hope that helps.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Hey, thanks for the fast reply and help, my old motherboard(msi b350 tomahawk) doesn't have an RGB or ARGB header, just had to connect that loose cable to the Sata power cable like u said in the video, I misinterpreted it, but it's fixed, very much thank you.
I have this PC case for over a year now. Overall it's good. But there are a few cons - airflow without adding all coolers (front, top and back) will not be very good, and thin metal at the top is causing a vibration that results in additional "non-quality" noise - this can be fixed with a simple hack, but it would be better if it was good out of the box.
Ya I wish the case had front mesh but since I bought it as a prebuilt I didn't have much choice. My personal janky solution - leave the side glass panel off for more airflow. I know not ideal but for me it works. :)
Ended up removing glass from the front panel and adding air filter mesh with double tape. Temps dropped by 10-12 C for CPU (i9 12900F with Arctic Freezer 34 Duo) and about 5-7 C for GPU (RTX 3080 TI).
Hi, I’m using asus tuf z590 in a deep cool matrexx 50. I want to control the front and back fan rgb with software. Any advice on how to make it happen? Thx :)
So you can use your Motherboard Manufacturer's Software to control the RGB, if for some reason that's not working an alternative that others have found helped a lot is a program called Signal RGB it will recognize all your devices regardless of Manufacturer.
The fans all connect in the back, there is however one end that goes to the Motherboard, and the cable they include that should plug into the MB will not connect to the cabling anywhere that I could find, I suspect it needs a separate cable. So I used the SATA Power cable and plugged it into the Power Supply SATA connector. So then I used the LED button on top to changed colors but was still able to make changes using MSI Dragon Center but that will depend on your specific MB software to do that and the Corsair Software for the the Ram. So in short, 1 MB Fan cable to MB and the SATA Power Cable both connected.
You need to use whatever the pin out is, ie if you have a 3 Pin ARGB then you need to match it with a 3 Pin ARGB on the MB, same if its a 4 Pin RGB, then you need to use a 4 Pin RGB on the Motherboard. Trying to use a 4 Pin with a 3 Pin won't work and could cause a short which is not something that should be done. Hope that helps.
As long as your Fans go into a Fan Header there should be no reason to get damage. The damage could result from using the wrong ARGB Header, to know which one of those is correct if there is a 3 Pin it's ARGB 5V that it needs to go into and ensure the arrow matches the left side where it says 5V. Same is true if its a 4 Pin in that case it's RGB 12V and therefore you want to plug it into a 4 Pin 12V RGB Header arrow to the same side as where it says 12V.
A reset button is nice but not a need to have, if it doesn't have one its not an issue at all. Several cases these days no longer use a reset button, so it'll be fine.
There are a few but the one I'm using and was easy to build in and looks great and accommodated a lot of fans and RGB as well is the be Quiet Pure Base 500 FX.
Remove the tempered glass with paint thinner (it’s held on with double sided tape) and replace it with a mesh ac filter. Attach with contact cement for a clean look.
Small question for you. I see that it has 2 HDD 3.5 slots. I want to have two 18TB in raid 1 + one 8 TB HDD. Do you think I can do something for that? Two add a third HDD 3.5 ? Thanks
It doesn't have a spot for a 3rd HD size 3.5, but you could try adding one on top of the HD Cage with Double sided Tape, if there isn't room then you might be able to still use Double sided Tape somewhere else, it won't be elegant but could work.
There are some different types of cases that go by the same name. Some have the fans others don't depends on which case. I did a video on one that I added the fans and then a second one that came with the fans. The one with fans is a slight difference in price.
I've plugged the RGB cable into the motherboard but can't seem to find where the other end connects to. It has a 3 pin connector but there is no corresponding connector for it at the back of the case.
No this was recommended to me as the person I was going to build a system for wanted a lot of lights and they had a very small budget. I'll check it out though as I need to get another case.
Hey so i have this case and i use the standard fans plus 2 extra on my aio. I can only control the rgb on the fans by the button on the top of the case. I have a asus motherbord and want to use aura but i cant understand the wiering to get add. If i dont connect the sata to the button on the case i dont have any rgb but working fans still. Might be a bit of a noob question but the rgb part is more complicated the building the rest of the pc for me.
It can be a problem sometimes to get RGB devices to work, especially if they don't get noticed by the software. There are a couple programs that might help, Open RGB and Signal RGB both work great. Hope that helps.
If it's a AIO then yes, if you mean the one's with the tubes and such I'm not sure there is room I think but not certain never done that type before. Hope that answers your question.
Yes, you can turn the RGB Off with the Software, or if your MB has a off switch for the RGB you can use that as well. The Software depends on which ever software came with your MB, although if you want to use something else you could use a program called Signal RGB.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Thanks for the quick reply, last question: should I purchase more fans because of the airflow and because I’m gaming, or do you think it will be okay?
It'll be good there are 3 fans in front and a rear exhaust fan. You could put in a couple on top if you wanted to but I'd keep an eye on temps for a bit first and see how it goes before deciding.
Hello Is the front only the reflection of light or is the front glass made of two parts? In some pictures it looks like it is from one part and in others it looks like it has a slit in the middle?
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Thank you very much, on the official site it looks like a reflection... I hope not so. And do you think this model is as good as the DEEPCool matrexx 55 V3 model?
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I found a v3 without a fan, and if I installed it, it would be very expensive, and this matrexx comes with fans, so I am asking if it is also good to buy.
I don't have this case any longer, but its possible to make a mesh replacement if you have the skills, (I don't) but as far as removing the glass after removing the front panel I'm not certain.
This case is so awesome. You probably mentioned it in the video, but there is no way to control the rgb with that button on the case without using the sata connector.
Yeah not sure if I did, but I'm going to do a video in a while on a Open Source program called SignalRGB that might help in situations where the RGB just isn't working. It is an amazing looking case for sure.
@@AndyySixx ikr! it gives your computer such a different look and feeling. I couldn't get my hands on an rtx card...so i re-built my gtx 1070 and i7-8700k with this case, just to get that "upgrade" feeling...lmao....worked fine. don't ask..
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I'm just wondering, is the surrounding of the power button supposed to light up when you connect it all to the motherboard?
If you don't have ARGB and it's needed then yes if your MB doesn't have the ARGB then controlling it from the case may be the only other option. You could also try (only if) you have Corsair RGB Memory using iCUE Software as that can sometimes help.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I took those screws out but can only move the tray side to side, I couldn't take it out as it got caught on the bottom edge of the case where the back panel clips in (so I didn't want to bend that). Tried to pull it out on many different angles with no success
@@timmy2410 Its been awhile but thought I had to slide it all the way to one side and then it'd come out but maybe I'm wrong as I had this a very short time before it went to the client. If you want it out and never to use it again maybe you could use something to bend it and take it out but not sure about that. Some don't come out but if you need it out permanently then doing a bit of Modding might be required.
If i have an ATX motherboard can i install aio cooler on the top? I bought a Cooler Master Masterliquid ML240 Illusion and i want a new case because not fit in.
Hello, is the mic audio jack on the top of the pc a 2.5mm or a 3.5mm because I have the same case and when I plug my microphone into it it doesn’t work and I’ve tied everything single audio jack on the pc but it just doesn’t seem to work
@@shubh_sxngh So it sounds like the HD Audio cable that connects to your Motherboard might be loose or disconnected, check the cable as it could be the reason. If the cable is properly inserted then only other thing it could be might be a Windows issue. I've heard of some people having issue's with that. There is a person I watch that has a few different videos on this that might help you out as well, his channel is Britec09 hope that helps.
The 3 front fans can use either a Fan Hub or directly into the MB Fan Header, for the RGB there are connectors that go to the MB as well, if there missing then reach out to the place you got them from and get a replacement.
my rgb isn't able to be controlled from my motherboard settings, im not sure what ive done wrong, the switch on the top of the case works but i would like better control. I have a rog strix b550f and this case, if tried to search online for a solution with no luck
I had this issue initially as well, only way I was able to resolve it was to get Corsair RGB Memory, it uses the iCUE Software that also recognized my other RGB Software and then everything worked. However there is software called Signal RGB that works really great for all RGB types and its free. Hope that helps.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM thank you! I have another question, with that cpu cooler, will I still be able to put 120/140mm fans on top or will it be too tight? If so, what fans do you recommend? Thanks again
I plan on using this case for my PC build, but the micro ATX motherboard I bought only has two fan headers. One for the CPU fan, and one for the case fans. This case comes with four fans, is there any way to connect them all?
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM It won't cause any problems connecting all four fans using the fan splitter, right? I was going through the comments and I thought you said something about only using three fans max on one header.
Only use 3 fans at a time, 4 might be to much for the fan header, however if your using a Fan Hub then it'll work with however many it was designed to hold as it'll be getting it power from the SATA from the PSU.
@@super1512 That's to bad, prices everywhere have been going up so it might have cost less before. Good luck with whatever you choose next. Have a great day.
I bought this case. I have only one problem The rear fan doesn't sync with the fronts fan And i test it with aura sync and i can't change the color of the front fan
If the rear exhaust fan is connected to a hub, or maybe even if it isn't you could try unplug and plug into the SYS_FAN 2 fan header on your motherboard, and then make adjustments for the fan curve independent from the other fans, also check in the BIOS for any settings that might help. You may need to change the SYS_FAN 2 fan header to DC mode also if it is only a three pin fan. Had to search this one up as I haven't encountered it before. Hope it might help some.
Can't remember for certain but the Fans are rated: Fan Speed: 500±200 -1500±10%RPM, and Noise: 17.8~27dB(A) and they were 4 Pin PWM Fans so yes they are controllable. Hope that helps.
I powered up the fans first then worried about the rgb after that i also unplugged everything and started from scratch. Because the cable mess was so confusing!!
Check all your cables are plugged in including the SATA Power cable, and that your Front Panel connectors are on correctly. If not it's possible it's defective but most likely it's a loose cable.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Hi thanks for the quick reply but the thing is that 2 of my screw are hard to remove i dunno why im putting all my pressure and still doesnt remove
Yes its argb some mobos dont have the argb header on the motherboard. Most just have the regular 12v rgb connector. Dont try plug a argb 3pin into a 12v rgb header. If ur mobo dont have a argb header just buy like a 10$ fan hub.
It's a good case but I'd probably use one with better airflow for your system. The new Corsair Airflow cases are good and the G360A Phanteks is also really good bit pricey but worth it. This case will work but temps might not be ideal.
Your not alone in that, the cable they provide to control the colors with the MB Software has no where that it connects to that I could find. I have Corsair RGB Memory so it allowed me to use the iCUE Software for the Ram, and the Dragon center for the MB. For the case itself I needed to use the RGB Button on top of the case. I'm still looking for a solution to it. I'll post a follow up if I find the solution.
I agree it wasn't the best airflow, but temps stayed low regardless as I later updated to an AIO and it stayed great after that but still I've for sure had better cases. Thanks
Hey so i read through all the comments and watched the video, still cant figure it out , i have this case with a gigabyte b560 motherboard and have no idea how to hook the fans to the mobo. using signal rgb, asus armory crate and rgb fusion i can control the trident z ram the led air cooler and argb gpu bracket. Is there a way to hook the case fans to the mobo?
Yes, if you have enough Fan Headers on your MB you can plug them directly into it, or get a 3 way fan splitter to do it and use just 1 Fan Header, don't exceed more then 3 fans though.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM so i have 2 open sys fan 4 pin headers , and 1 open led c1 4 pin , it came as a prebuilt i do think all 4 fans are on 1 header though
@@sanderssmokes Yeah just to be safe I would only have 3 on one fan header, the Led C1 4 Pin not sure if that's a RGB Header and or if you need this, can't remember what the connector for the case was it was either ARGB which would be a 3 Pin 5V or 4 Pin 12V Header. So the other two fan headers could certainly be used if needed.
Ok I figured out the RGB sync to motherboard cable for anyone who wants to know. Connect the 4 pin addressable RGB cable to your motherboard and plug the other end into the case fan cable that is labeled "Main". You will need to unplug that cable from the top case button that allows you to change colours, this button will no longer work as your motherboard is now syncing the colours. Also make sure to unplug the SATA cable.
Awesome info. Thanks
Anyway you can show us ? I'd really like to be able to do that

Does this case come with an rgb hub because i want to use a deepcool adressable rgb cpu fan?
No, it doesn't come with one.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM
will the RGB fans work with a 3 pin ffan connecctor on the motherboard
You need to use whatever the pin out is, ie if you have a 3 Pin ARGB then you need to match it with a 3 Pin ARGB on the MB, same if its a 4 Pin RGB, then you need to use a 4 Pin RGB on the Motherboard. Trying to use a 4 Pin with a 3 Pin won't work and could cause a short which is not something that should be done. Hope that helps.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM it does, TYSM
I have this pc case but idk why the fans rgb arent working. The fans spin but the rgb isnt turning on. Does wnyone know why
Start with checking all the cables, it sounds like there might be one not plugged in.
Quick question. Where do I connect the fans that are included with the case on my Msi b550 tomahawk so that the fans won’t be damaged?
As long as your Fans go into a Fan Header there should be no reason to get damage. The damage could result from using the wrong ARGB Header, to know which one of those is correct if there is a 3 Pin it's ARGB 5V that it needs to go into and ensure the arrow matches the left side where it says 5V. Same is true if its a 4 Pin in that case it's RGB 12V and therefore you want to plug it into a 4 Pin 12V RGB Header arrow to the same side as where it says 12V.
Hi Dennis! I just bought this case ,my manual shows a reset connector, mine does not have this connector is this an issue or a case defect?
A reset button is nice but not a need to have, if it doesn't have one its not an issue at all. Several cases these days no longer use a reset button, so it'll be fine.
What's a better replacement for this case? I'm looking for a mesh front, the ability to put more fans on the top, basically better airflow.
There are a few but the one I'm using and was easy to build in and looks great and accommodated a lot of fans and RGB as well is the be Quiet Pure Base 500 FX.
Remove the tempered glass with paint thinner (it’s held on with double sided tape) and replace it with a mesh ac filter. Attach with contact cement for a clean look.
Small question for you. I see that it has 2 HDD 3.5 slots. I want to have two 18TB in raid 1 + one 8 TB HDD. Do you think I can do something for that? Two add a third HDD 3.5 ?
Thanks
It doesn't have a spot for a 3rd HD size 3.5, but you could try adding one on top of the HD Cage with Double sided Tape, if there isn't room then you might be able to still use Double sided Tape somewhere else, it won't be elegant but could work.
Why did mine has no fans on the front side ?
There are some different types of cases that go by the same name. Some have the fans others don't depends on which case. I did a video on one that I added the fans and then a second one that came with the fans. The one with fans is a slight difference in price.
I've plugged the RGB cable into the motherboard but can't seem to find where the other end connects to. It has a 3 pin connector but there is no corresponding connector for it at the back of the case.
Yeah I never did figure out where it went, luckily using the SATA power connector and the Fans plugged in worked for the RGB.
Did you look at the Matrexx 55 when you was looking to purchase a case?
No this was recommended to me as the person I was going to build a system for wanted a lot of lights and they had a very small budget. I'll check it out though as I need to get another case.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Ok I was wondering if you did and choose one over the other.
is it possible to make the rgb lights in the fans not fade in and out, to just have them a static colour?
Yes your software will have other options, static is the option.
Hey so i have this case and i use the standard fans plus 2 extra on my aio. I can only control the rgb on the fans by the button on the top of the case. I have a asus motherbord and want to use aura but i cant understand the wiering to get add. If i dont connect the sata to the button on the case i dont have any rgb but working fans still. Might be a bit of a noob question but the rgb part is more complicated the building the rest of the pc for me.
It can be a problem sometimes to get RGB devices to work, especially if they don't get noticed by the software. There are a couple programs that might help, Open RGB and Signal RGB both work great. Hope that helps.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
im pretty new to building pcs and all so im asking, can you install a water cooler on that case?
If it's a AIO then yes, if you mean the one's with the tubes and such I'm not sure there is room I think but not certain never done that type before. Hope that answers your question.
Can you turn the color of the fans off? What software do they use
Yes, you can turn the RGB Off with the Software, or if your MB has a off switch for the RGB you can use that as well. The Software depends on which ever software came with your MB, although if you want to use something else you could use a program called Signal RGB.
I'm planning on using this case on a gaming build, would you recommend this case for gaming?
It'll work great, airflow isn't great though but still works for everything.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Thanks for the quick reply, last question: should I purchase more fans because of the airflow and because I’m gaming, or do you think it will be okay?
It'll be good there are 3 fans in front and a rear exhaust fan. You could put in a couple on top if you wanted to but I'd keep an eye on temps for a bit first and see how it goes before deciding.
Get the MESH version! Or you can remove the tempered glass from the front 3 fans and mod it yourself with an ac filter like I did
Hello
Is the front only the reflection of light or is the front glass made of two parts?
In some pictures it looks like it is from one part and in others it looks like it has a slit in the middle?
The Front is Tempered Glass as is the side panel, the front is only one piece. There is no slit in the middle.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM
Thank you very much, on the official site it looks like a reflection...
I hope not so.
And do you think this model is as good as the DEEPCool matrexx 55 V3 model?
Yes, better actually. I like the Deepcool Matrexx but this was nicer to build in.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I found a v3 without a fan, and if I installed it, it would be very expensive, and this matrexx comes with fans, so I am asking if it is also good to buy.
Yes, its a good buy for sure.
Yo can the PSU shield covering the bottom on the inside be removed, can't find an open bottom case anymore
No unfortunately not.
Can the glass panel can be removed from the inside of the front panel?
Edit. For example would I be able to make a custom mesh to replace the glass?
I don't have this case any longer, but its possible to make a mesh replacement if you have the skills, (I don't) but as far as removing the glass after removing the front panel I'm not certain.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM ok sir thank you for your reply and good review of this case

How to change the lights with software? Wich software did you use
I built it very fast and it was gone for a Christmas gift, but I was using the Software that came with the MB, Armory Crate I believe it was.
how to stay static rgb not rainbow green or red or blue rgb fan?
You can use the Software from the Manufacturer of the Motherboard.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM thanks
No problem, also if you can't get the software to work specifically if its RGB Fusion, there is a Program called Signal RGB that will work great.
This case is so awesome.
You probably mentioned it in the video, but there is no way to control the rgb with that button on the case without using the sata connector.
Yeah not sure if I did, but I'm going to do a video in a while on a Open Source program called SignalRGB that might help in situations where the RGB just isn't working. It is an amazing looking case for sure.
I have the case. It's awesome, and the button on the top ACTUALLY changes the lights
@@AndyySixx ikr! it gives your computer such a different look and feeling. I couldn't get my hands on an rtx card...so i re-built my gtx 1070 and i7-8700k with this case, just to get that "upgrade" feeling...lmao....worked fine. don't ask..
@@axelmoses4290 I got Ryzen 7 5800x and a 1080ti Waterforce (sorry for the flex xD) but yea, works as a charm
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I'm just wondering, is the surrounding of the power button supposed to light up when you connect it all to the motherboard?
Wait so is this argb? I'm confused.. If I'm using a motherboard that doesn't support argb then I need to use the case to control the lighting?
If you don't have ARGB and it's needed then yes if your MB doesn't have the ARGB then controlling it from the case may be the only other option. You could also try (only if) you have Corsair RGB Memory using iCUE Software as that can sometimes help.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM OK, thank you :)

Can i make the RGB colours all green? Or are they rainbow only?
Yes, you can make them all whatever colour you prefer.
Very beautiful upload enjoyed watching stay connected friend
Hello Have a great day 💖
Thank you! You too!
Have you managed to take the HDD tray out? I tried with a recent build but couldn't get it out
There are 4 screws on the bottom of the case holding in the HD Cage, once they are removed it should come out. I didn't take this one out though.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I took those screws out but can only move the tray side to side, I couldn't take it out as it got caught on the bottom edge of the case where the back panel clips in (so I didn't want to bend that). Tried to pull it out on many different angles with no success
@@timmy2410 Its been awhile but thought I had to slide it all the way to one side and then it'd come out but maybe I'm wrong as I had this a very short time before it went to the client. If you want it out and never to use it again maybe you could use something to bend it and take it out but not sure about that. Some don't come out but if you need it out permanently then doing a bit of Modding might be required.
If i have an ATX motherboard can i install aio cooler on the top? I bought a Cooler Master Masterliquid ML240 Illusion and i want a new case because not fit in.
The specs say a 240 Rad will fit on the top, and up to 360 in the front.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Thanks for the fast answer. I order the case then!
Hello, is the mic audio jack on the top of the pc a 2.5mm or a 3.5mm because I have the same case and when I plug my microphone into it it doesn’t work and I’ve tied everything single audio jack on the pc but it just doesn’t seem to work
It's 3.5mm so should work with most standard audio devices.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM thank you, but it still doesn’t work my mic has a 3.5mm as well but all I hear is this buzzing noise
@@shubh_sxngh So it sounds like the HD Audio cable that connects to your Motherboard might be loose or disconnected, check the cable as it could be the reason. If the cable is properly inserted then only other thing it could be might be a Windows issue. I've heard of some people having issue's with that. There is a person I watch that has a few different videos on this that might help you out as well, his channel is Britec09 hope that helps.

@@shubh_sxngh Try this one ua-cam.com/video/R4bkzhRsCaU/v-deo.html if it doesn't help, the other thing to try is updating your Drivers.
i have a problem i couldn't find power cabel for the 3 fans front
The 3 front fans can use either a Fan Hub or directly into the MB Fan Header, for the RGB there are connectors that go to the MB as well, if there missing then reach out to the place you got them from and get a replacement.
my rgb isn't able to be controlled from my motherboard settings, im not sure what ive done wrong, the switch on the top of the case works but i would like better control. I have a rog strix b550f and this case, if tried to search online for a solution with no luck
I had this issue initially as well, only way I was able to resolve it was to get Corsair RGB Memory, it uses the iCUE Software that also recognized my other RGB Software and then everything worked. However there is software called Signal RGB that works really great for all RGB types and its free. Hope that helps.
How can I control the Fan Speed, where do I go or what do I need to DL
Often there is software from the manufacturer's website, or you can set a fan curve in the BIOS
thanks,is there a reset button
Unfortunately there's no reset button. Thanks
Hi! I have this case, what would would you recommend for a good cpu cooler for i5 10400f cpu? Also, I have Asus B560 for my motherboard.
My favorite CPU Cooler is the Hyper 212 Black RGB CPU Cooler, cools the CPU great and looks great at the same time.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM thank you! I have another question, with that cpu cooler, will I still be able to put 120/140mm fans on top or will it be too tight? If so, what fans do you recommend? Thanks again
@@sui.1377 I think it should be fine, can't say with certainty but given previous use of the CPU Cooler there should be plenty of room.
I plan on using this case for my PC build, but the micro ATX motherboard I bought only has two fan headers. One for the CPU fan, and one for the case fans. This case comes with four fans, is there any way to connect them all?
If you get a Fan Splitter/Hub you'll be able to do that otherwise not sure.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Ok, thank you so much!
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM It won't cause any problems connecting all four fans using the fan splitter, right? I was going through the comments and I thought you said something about only using three fans max on one header.
Only use 3 fans at a time, 4 might be to much for the fan header, however if your using a Fan Hub then it'll work with however many it was designed to hold as it'll be getting it power from the SATA from the PSU.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Thanks for the reply! I ended up getting a different motherboard with four fan headers before I built my PC
Is there a matrexx50 version with mesh front panel instead of the glass?
Not that I know of but its possible.
there is, but it's more expensive for some reason (at least in my country)
@@super1512 That's to bad, prices everywhere have been going up so it might have cost less before. Good luck with whatever you choose next. Have a great day.
I got the rbg to turn on but only one fan powers to spin.
You can Daisy Chain all the Fans, try that if you have one going then it will let them all work.
I bought this case.
I have only one problem
The rear fan doesn't sync with the fronts fan
And i test it with aura sync and i can't change the color of the front fan
If the rear exhaust fan is connected to a hub, or maybe even if it isn't you could try unplug and plug into the SYS_FAN 2 fan header on your motherboard, and then make adjustments for the fan curve independent from the other fans, also check in the BIOS for any settings that might help. You may need to change the SYS_FAN 2 fan header to DC mode also if it is only a three pin fan. Had to search this one up as I haven't encountered it before. Hope it might help some.
whats the highest rpm on the stock case fans ? and can we control the rpm on them ??
Can't remember for certain but the Fans are rated: Fan Speed: 500±200 -1500±10%RPM, and Noise: 17.8~27dB(A) and they were 4 Pin PWM Fans so yes they are controllable. Hope that helps.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Thanks
I powered up the fans first then worried about the rgb after that i also unplugged everything and started from scratch. Because the cable mess was so confusing!!
Yeah I find the way they do cables these days it is often confusing to sort them all out.
Same!
Can I change the place of the fans?
It doesn't really have much room to move them around, but a tiny amount yeah.
My led button doesn’t work for some reason
Check all your cables are plugged in including the SATA Power cable, and that your Front Panel connectors are on correctly. If not it's possible it's defective but most likely it's a loose cable.
Is all the 4 fans included?
Yes, Airflow is not great but it's decent enough. Whenever there's Tempered Glass as much as this cases tend to not have great airflow.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM do you recommend the mesh variant instead of this?
@@bigm6105 Yes, it would allow better airflow and still look as good.

Is it ARGB?
The Fans are RGB.
Yes its argb some mobos dont have the argb header on the motherboard. Most just have the regular 12v rgb connector. Dont try plug a argb 3pin into a 12v rgb header. If ur mobo dont have a argb header just buy like a 10$ fan hub.
Well said. Thanks
I used the deep cool RGB converter to sync with my mobo
HI, I Want to use this with I5-13600K AND LT720 or LS720.
is it good? thank you.
It's a good case but I'd probably use one with better airflow for your system. The new Corsair Airflow cases are good and the G360A Phanteks is also really good bit pricey but worth it. This case will work but temps might not be ideal.

Price varies from $129 to $155 unless its on sale.
I have this case, and I am stuggling to control fans with software, first pc so im kinda new.
Your not alone in that, the cable they provide to control the colors with the MB Software has no where that it connects to that I could find. I have Corsair RGB Memory so it allowed me to use the iCUE Software for the Ram, and the Dragon center for the MB. For the case itself I needed to use the RGB Button on top of the case.

Is there a way to hook the case fans to the mobo?
Yes, if you have enough Fan Headers on your MB you can plug them directly into it, or get a 3 way fan splitter to do it and use just 1 Fan Header, don't exceed more then 3 fans though.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM so i have 2 open sys fan 4 pin headers , and 1 open led c1 4 pin , it came as a prebuilt i do think all 4 fans are on 1 header though
@@sanderssmokes Yeah just to be safe I would only have 3 on one fan header, the Led C1 4 Pin not sure if that's a RGB Header and or if you need this, can't remember what the connector for the case was it was either ARGB which would be a 3 Pin 5V or 4 Pin 12V Header. So the other two fan headers could certainly be used if needed.
