| End-of-Life Product |
The following spec sheet is for an end-of-life product that is no longer in production and is provided for reference purposes. This issue was resolved with all H1 units assembled after May 2022. |
It has come to our attention that some H1 (2022) cases shipped prior to May of 2022 may have shipped with the included AIO fan installed in the wrong orientation, with the fan set as an intake rather than an exhaust. This error can result in a slight drop in thermal performance, however it can be easily adjusted without requiring replacement parts.
For this process, you only need a Philips #1 (PH1) Screwdriver and a flat, static-free work surface.
Removing the Side Panel and Cover
To access the fan, start with the case in the upright position and pull off the Front Glass and Rear Mesh panels by gripping the panel from the bottom of the case and firmly pulling outward. The case panels are held on using friction-fit ball joints and should release as shown above.
With the panels released, slide the top cover off the PC as shown above to access gain access to the internal components.
Accessing the AIO & Fan
With the panels removed, place the H1 case on its side with the rear of the AIO facing upwards as shown above. Locate and remove the two screws marked with arrows to release the AIO mounting bracket, allowing the unit to freely swing open.
With the panel open, check the fan to confirm its orientation. If the open side of the fan is visible as shown above, it is incorrectly installed. To correct the fan orientation, remove the four screws securing the fan as highlighted above and flip the fan and re-install the protective grill and screws.
If the fan is properly installed, the rear spokes will be visible and the open side of the fan will be towards the radiator as shown above.
To reassemble the H1 V2 case, simply follow the instructions in reverse order. Take care that the tubes are not pinched or crushed while closing the mounting bracket, as this can damage the AIO or cause a leak. Upon starting the system, you may notice a slight decrease in both noise and system temperatures.
