ARGB-Beleuchtungssteuerung
The pre-installed Infinity Mirroring ARGB fans offer striking visual effects. Control their lighting via the included 8+8 Pin controller. If your motherboard supports ARGB synchronization (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync, Biostar RGB Sync), connect the controller to the motherboard's 3-pin ARGB header to manage lighting through software. Otherwise, use the case's LED/Reset button to cycle through pre-set lighting modes.

The BitFenix CETO Basic case is equipped with magnetic dust filters on the top, bottom, and right steel panel. Regularly clean these filters to maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup inside your system.
- Gently remove the magnetic dust filters from their respective locations.
- Reinigen Sie die Filter mit Druckluft, einer weichen Bürste oder durch Abspülen mit Wasser (stellen Sie sicher, dass sie vor dem Wiedereinsetzen vollständig trocken sind).
- Reattach the magnetic filters to the case.

Allgemeine Reinigung
Wischen Sie die Außenseite des Gehäuses mit einem weichen, fusselfreien Tuch ab.amp Verwenden Sie kein Tuch. Vermeiden Sie die Verwendung von scharfen Chemikalien oder Scheuermitteln, die die Oberfläche oder das gehärtete Glas beschädigen könnten.
Fehlerbehebung
System lässt sich nicht einschalten
- Ensure the power supply is properly connected to the wall outlet and the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Vergewissern Sie sich, dass das 24-polige ATX-Stromkabel und das CPU-Stromkabel fest mit dem Motherboard verbunden sind.
- Prüfen Sie, ob das Kabel des Netzschalters an der Vorderseite korrekt an den Frontpanel-Anschluss des Mainboards angeschlossen ist. Die korrekte Pinbelegung finden Sie im Handbuch Ihres Mainboards.
Fans Not Spinning or ARGB Not Lighting Up
- Ensure the 8+8 Pin ARGB/Fan controller is receiving power via its SATA power connector from the PSU.
- Verify that the fans are correctly connected to the controller.
- If using motherboard software control, ensure the controller's ARGB cable is connected to the motherboard's 3-pin ARGB header and the software is installed and configured correctly.
- If using the case's LED/Reset button for control, ensure the button's cable is connected to the controller.
Schlechte Luftzirkulation oder hohe Temperaturen
- Clean the magnetic dust filters regularly as described in the Maintenance section.
- Ensure all fans are spinning in the correct direction for optimal airflow (intake from front/bottom, exhaust from top/rear). The BitFenix CETO Basic includes both positive and reverse fans for optimized airflow.
- Check for proper cable management to avoid obstructing airflow paths.
- Verify that CPU cooler and GPU fans are functioning correctly.
