The Middle Fan – The middle fan is especially designed to cool the VGA card and
even a dual VGA card configuration. In this case the HDD cage becomes a duct
drawing fresh cool air from the front of the case. You can choose to mount only
the middle fan or you can mount both the front and the middle fans to enhance
the cooling as two fans will serve a push and pull action bringing the air more ef-
ficiently.
1. Find the two fan wire brackets from the tool bag.
2. Install the wire brackets into the HDD cage.
3. Clip the fan into position.
In order to build a quieter system we recommend NOT installing the optional fans
if not necessary for the cooling of your components. If you choose to install them
we recommend using Antec 120mm TriCool™ fans and setting the speed to Low.
Optional rubber grommeted ports
There are two rubber grommeted ports in the rear panel. You can use them to
route tubing for external liquid cooling devices.
The Washable Air Filters
There are two filters located behind the front grilles. From time to time it will be
necessary to wash the installed air filters. Not washing the air filters will result
in higher system temperatures and possible stability problems. We recommend
checking the air filter at least once a month initially. The frequency will change
depending on environmental conditions and system usage, as users whose
systems run 24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often than those who don’t
use their systems every day.
To remove the filters:
1. Push one of the fan grilles at the right middle edge to open the grille.
2. There are two tabs on the filter. To remove the filter, use both hands to
gently push the tabs downward. Slightly angle the top of the filter towards
you before lifting it up and out.
