The POST-Check Protocol
-
Component Clearance
Action: Double-check the case's specifications for maximum GPU length, CPU cooler height, and radiator support before purchasing any part. Why: These are fixed limitations; if your CPU cooler is too tall or your GPU is too long, the side panel won't close or the components will physically block installation.
-
Standoff Alignment
Action: Verify the case has motherboard standoffs installed only in the locations that correspond to the holes on your specific motherboard (ATX, Micro-ATX, etc.). Why: Incorrectly placed standoffs can touch the back of the motherboard and cause a disastrous electrical short when the system is powered on.
-
I/O Panel Installation
Action: If the case uses a removable I/O shield (not pre-installed on the motherboard), snap it into the casebefore mounting the motherboard. Why: This is a common beginner mistake that forces you to remove the entire motherboard just to fit a small metal plate.
-
Airflow Pathway
Action: Follow the simple rule: Intake fans at the front/bottom draw cool air in, and Exhaust fans at the rear/top push hot air out. Why: A balanced, directed airflow path is the single most important factor for overall system temperature and long-term component health.
-
PSU Fan Direction
Action: When mounting the Power Supply Unit (PSU) at the bottom of the case, ensure its fan is facing downward toward the case's dust filter and external vent. Why: This configuration allows the PSU to pull cool, filtered air directly from outside the case, keeping its own temperature low and promoting overall case airflow.
-
Front Panel Headers
Action: Use the motherboard manual to correctly connect the tiny Front Panel Header cables (Power Button, Reset, USB, Audio) to the correct pins on the motherboard. Why: These small cables are essential for powering the system on and are often confusingly labeled, but the manual is the only sure guide for proper function.
