Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Ensure your workspace is clean and static-free. Power off your PC and unplug all cables. Open the case by removing the side panels to access the interior.
Step 2: Install the RGB Fans
Position the RGB fans in your desired locations, typically on the front or top of the case. Secure the fans using the screws provided, ensuring they are firmly attached.
