  • Sørg for, at alle blæserens strømkabler er korrekt tilsluttet til bundkortets blæserhoveder eller en blæsercontroller.
  • Verify that the D-RGB cables are correctly connected to the integrated controller or the motherboard's D-RGB header.
  • Tjek dit bundkorts BIOS/UEFI-indstillinger eller RGB-software for blæserhastighed og lysstyring.
• Dårlig luftgennemstrømning/høje temperaturer:
  • Clean all dust filters, especially the front mesh panel.
  • Sørg for, at ventilatorerne er orienteret korrekt for optimal indsugning og udsugning.
  • Verify that there are no obstructions to airflow inside the case, such as poorly managed cables.
