How do I turn on my NZXT case?
First, make sure the power supply unit (PSU) is plugged into a power source and the power switch on the back of the PSU is turned on. Some NZXT cases have a built-in power switch on the front panel, while others don’t.
If your NZXT case does not have a power switch on the front panel, you can use the power switch on the PSU itself. This is usually located on the back of the case, near the power cord.
Once the power is on, press the power button on your motherboard or the power button on your case front panel if it has one.
If the power supply is on, but the system is still not booting up, it could be that the power supply is not properly connected to the motherboard. Make sure all the power connectors are securely plugged in.
If you’re still having trouble, it’s always a good idea to consult the user manual or reach out to the manufacturer for further assistance.
With these tips, you’ll be able to turn on your NZXT case and start using your new PC in no time. Happy computing!
