Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon receiving your Aegis, ensure it is placed on a stable, well-ventilated surface. Connect the power cable to the PSU and a suitable wall outlet. Connect your monitor(s) to the graphics card's DisplayPort or HDMI outputs. Connect your keyboard, mouse, and any other peripherals to the available USB ports on the rear or front of the chassis. Turn on the PC using the power button. The initial boot may take a few minutes as it sets up Windows. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the Windows setup.
Compatibility: The system comes pre-configured with the ASUS Prime H610M-A WiFi D4 motherboard, Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, 32GB DDR4 RAM, and an RTX 5070 Ti GPU. The 750W 80 PLUS Gold PSU offers headroom for moderate upgrades. While the chassis supports additional storage drives, consult the motherboard manual for specific M.2 slot configurations and SATA port availability. Ensure any potential future GPU upgrades do not exceed the physical dimensions of the chassis or the power delivery capabilities of the PSU.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the exterior and interior vents using compressed air. Pay special attention to the intake and exhaust fans. Do this at least monthly.
- Liquid Cooler: The 360mm AIO is pre-filled and sealed. Ensure the radiator fans are kept clean and unobstructed. Check for any leaks or unusual noises, though this is rare with sealed units.
- Surface Cleaning: Wipe down the tempered glass panel and chassis exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Software Updates: Keep your operating system, drivers (especially GPU drivers), and BIOS firmware updated for optimal performance and security.
