To install a motherboard, first ensure the case is open and the standoffs are correctly placed for your motherboard size (ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX). Align the motherboard with the I/O shield and standoffs, then secure it using the screws provided with the case.
Utilize the case's built-in cable management features, such as the Velcro straps and rubber grommets, to route cables neatly. Ensure cables are tied down and do not obstruct airflow or interfere with moving parts.
Ensure that the front panel is open or use the mesh panel included with the case for better airflow. Install additional fans if necessary and maintain a balanced intake and exhaust airflow setup.
The Silent Base 802 supports radiators up to 420mm at the top, 360mm in the front, and 140mm at the rear. Ensure compatibility with your cooling system before installation.
Remove the dust filters from the front, top, and bottom of the case. Wash them gently with mild soap and water, then dry them completely before reinstalling. Regular cleaning will help maintain optimal airflow.
Minor scratches can sometimes be polished out using a dedicated glass polish. For deeper scratches, consider replacing the panel or using a professional glass repair service. Always handle the panel carefully to prevent damage.
To install additional drives, use the drive cages provided. Remove the cage, secure the drive using screws, and then slide the cage back into the case. Connect the necessary power and data cables to the drives.
Check the internal connections to the motherboard, ensuring they are secure and connected to the correct headers. If the issue persists, test the cables and ports with another device to rule out hardware faults.
Yes, you can replace the case fans with RGB fans. Ensure the new fans are of compatible size (120mm or 140mm) and that your motherboard or an RGB controller can accommodate the RGB functionality.
To switch panels, gently pull the front panel from the bottom to detach it. Align and attach the alternative panel by pressing it firmly until it clicks into place. This allows for a quick change between aesthetics and airflow optimization.
