Position the GPU horizontally or vertically according to preference and available brackets, ensuring the length does not exceed 400 mm. If using water cooling, select a compatible radiator size for the front (up to 420 mm) or top (up to 360 mm) and secure fans or radiator assembly before routing cables. Use the magnetic dust shields to access and clean filters during maintenance.

Recommendations

ARGB fans are not included; choose compatible 120 mm or 140 mm fans and, if desired, ARGB models separately to achieve the required airflow and lighting. For optimal thermal performance, combine front intake fans with rear/top exhaust and ensure unobstructed airflow paths.
