Notes:
1. When installing fans, make sure that (cool) air is taken in on the front/bottom of the case and blown
out on its rear side/top. The PC components with the highest heat development should be placed directly
within the airflow.
2. The installation of the lower fan is an additional application for VGA cooling.
The bottom PCI slot of the mainboard will be occupied when used.
