Note regarding using fan speed controllers with TriCool fans:

The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend our users set the fan speed to High if the fan will be connected to a fan control device or to the Fan-Only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan-control device regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it. The voltage may start as low as 4.5 V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ set on Medium or Low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start. The already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the TriCool circuitry below 5V.

The Bottom Air Intake

There are intake vents at the bottom of the case right under the HDD chamber. Fresh cool air will flow through the vents through the hard drives, and then flow into the motherboard chamber and exhaust by the two 120mm TriCool fans. Note: Do not place the NSK2480 on a soft surface or over anything that will block the bottom air vents.

The Upper Air Intake

There are vents on the top panel above the PCI expansion slots. Fresh air will flow through them into the motherboard chamber to cool the VGA card.

Note: Do not place anything on top of the NSK2480 that will block the top air vents

The Rear Air Intake

There are vents right above the rear I/O panel and on the PCI expansion slot covers to bring in fresh air to help cool the CPU and VGA card.

CPU Air Guide

The CPU Air Guide and rear air intake work together to provide fresh air to the CPU cooler to enhance the CPU cooling. The CPU Air Guide consists of several sections that can be adjusted to best suit each individual motherboard

CPU position.

The Power Supply Air Intake

There are vents on the left side of the case to bring fresh air into the power supply chamber to cool the power supply.

Note: Please leave at least 1” (2.5cm) between the left side of the case and
