Introduction
Spectre Integra-M Dark
Spectre Integra-M Dark has a space theme with aesthetics inspired by fighter jets and spacecraft.
It has a 3-layer distribution plate where Spectre Integra-M which has a 2-layer distribution plate
built from clear acrylic. Spectre Integra-M Dark has a clear acrylic cover and motherboard tray,
the main distribution plate layer is grey tinted acrylic, the rear distribution plate layer is clear
acrylic, and the rear cover is satin black acrylic. The reservoir volume is much larger allowing for
easier filling and bleeding, and increased flow.
Spectre Integra-M
Spectre Integra-M is a more compact ATX version of Spectre. It is a full re-design using everything
we have learned from the development of Spectre which has continued since 2015. Integra-M is
25% smaller than Spectre 3.0 (all versions) but maintains all the features, except that it fits ATX
motherboards and two 360mm radiators which are 40mm thick. Integra-M has a large part of the
water-cooling loop integrated with a completely new distribution plate design. It has a fully
integrated solution for cables with the Singularity Computers PowerBoard. Previously we have
created PowerBoards for existing cases, but for Integra-M we have developed the PowerBoard
and case together. This means that both have become far more streamlined, meaning more
features and compatibility. The PowerBoard supports the most high-end components and
includes two of the new 12VHPWR connectors along with x3 8pin PCIE connectors. It has built in
filter capacitors, 24 integrated ARGB and UV LEDs facing inwards and outwards, integrated direct
connect SATA, power, and reset buttons, and a touch activated power button. There is no rear
access needed to the case for cable management, all cables can be connected from the front and
little to no cable management is needed. Black sleeved linking cables are included with the case.
Custom colored sleeved linking cables can be purchased separately.
Spectre Integra-MA
Integra-MA does not include a distribution plate but includes a PowerBoard. It is capable of
housing a high-end liquid cooled system with two 360mm radiators, the top one up to 40mm thick
and the front one up to 60mm thick. The Singularity Computers PowerBoard is an integrated
solution for cables, lighting and much more. Previously we have created PowerBoards for existing
cases, but for Integra we have developed the PowerBoard and case together. This means that
both have become far more streamlined, meaning more features and compatibility. The
PowerBoard supports the most high-end components and includes two of the new 12VHPWR
connectors. The PowerBoard has built in filter capacitors, 24 integrated ARGB and UV LEDs facing
inwards and outwards, integrated direct connect SATA, power, and reset buttons, and a touch
activated power button. There is no rear access needed to the case for cable management, all
cables can be connected from the front and little to no cable management is needed. Black
sleeved linking cables are included with the case. Custom colored sleeved linking cables can be
purchased separately.

Spectre Integra-M/MA Features
•Integrated Liquid Cooling Features (Integra-M only)
Reservoir, D5 Pump Top, D5 Pump Cover, Fill Port, Drain Port, parts of the cooling loop.
•PowerBoard Integration
The PowerBoard is a PCB integrating 24pin, EPS, PCIE and 12VHPWR along with PWM and ARGB
Hubs, SATA and Power and Reset Buttons. The Spectre Integra-M PowerBoard also has an
integrated touch sensing Power Button. The PowerBoard has x24 ARGB and UV LEDs
positioned around the external and internal perimeter to optimally light up the distribution
plate. The LEDs can be switched on or off and you can switch between ARGB or UV or have both
on at the same time. Essentially the PowerBoard is a distribution plate for cables also
integrating other features and functions. It is a new method for cables allowing
standardization of cable lengths and making cable management almost unnecessary. Spectre
Integra-M comes included with a standard set of black sleeved linking cables including 24pin
x1, 8pin EPS x2, 8pin PCIE x3 meaning that these cables don’t have to be purchased separately.
•Reduced build time due to integration
With the core component cables, PWM and ARGB hubs all integrated there is less assembly to
be done, there is almost no cable management thanks to the PowerBoard integration. Even
further build time reduction on Integra-M with the pump, reservoir, fill & drain ports and parts
of the water-cooling loop are integrated.
•Integration Cost Component
A large portion of the case cost is due to the integration. These are components you do not
have to purchase for your build. The pump, reservoir, cables, hubs, less fittings, less tube, no
lighting, no cable combs, or cable management components. Integra-M reduces cost further
on water-cooling components.
•Integration & Optimization
With the integration we did not just develop a case, we also developed all the integrated
components. This meant that we could focus more on optimization than would normally be
possible. The integrated loop routes in Spectre Integra-M allow for more flow than 16mm
tubes. The pump top was designed for the D5 pump, maximizing flow to and from the
distribution plate. The reservoir was designed to remove air as quickly as possible making the
loop easier to fill. The fill port is at the highest point on the back for the case and the drain point
at the lowest point.

•High End Components
Spectre Integra-M/MA fits ATX motherboards and has 7 expansion slots. It is designed to fit
the largest high-end GPUs. It can fit the largest PSUs up to 220mm. For the water-cooling
system it can fit 2x 360mm radiators 45mm thick with a single set of fans and the D5 pump.
The PowerBoard can handle the most high-end PSUs and components.
•Radiator Adjustment
The radiator mounting panels have a large range of adjustment to help with port alignment to
the distribution plate.
•Storage
Spectre Integra-M/MA has 7x 2.5” Drive positions. Two are on the top of the PSU shroud, four
inside of the PSU shroud and there is one integrated on the PowerBoard. The two on top of the
PSU shroud cannot be used with vertically mounted GPUs.
Design & Engineering
We have been building high end water-cooled systems for over 15 years. Our approach to product
development begins with a need for our own builds and so the origin is always function. From
there we start to build ideas around this function and the aesthetics and everything else follows.
The original ideas for our products came from years of building highly customized, high end
water-cooled systems and trying to reduce the exceptionally long build times and complexity.
Our approach to development is hands on, we are using and testing our own products every day.
Manufacturing & Quality
Almost all components of Spectre Integra-MA are CNC machined from a solid block of material
with extreme precision. Everything is carefully assembled by hand and tested. Our approach and
philosophy are that there is no hidden or back side, everything is on display and so the design is
a celebration of the raw materials and the manufacturing processes with everything on display.

Spectre Integra-M/MA 2-Year Limited Warranty:
1: The Integrated Water-cooling system is pressure tested at the factory, there is no need to
adjust the fasteners on the distribution plate. Take care not to over tighten any of the fasteners
particularly on the acrylic, stop as soon as you feel feedback or tension on the fastener. On the
metal parts you can tighten normally. We are not responsible for damage caused by over-
tightening the fasteners.
2: Any thread stripping, cross threading or thread damage will not be covered under our warranty.
All threads are pre-tested. We use stainless steel fasteners which are extremely durable.
3: All acrylic is carefully checked for scratches, marks or particles as the manifold is assembled.
We are not responsible for mistreatment of the acrylic. Only clean with a microfiber cloth and use
nothing except distilled or deionized water for cleaning, or Novus Plastic Cleaner. Damage caused
by cleaning agents (particularly alcohols or solvents) is not covered under warranty.
4: Acrylic Surface Guarantee: Marks on acrylic which cannot be wiped away with a microfiber
cloth will only be covered under warranty under the following conditions: That they did not occur
after the item was shipped from the Singularity Computers Factory or Retailer. If there are more
than 5 marks which are beyond 5mm in length and visible when facing perpendicular to the
surface. Evidence of this must be photographed in detail and photographs must be taken
perpendicular to the surface. Marks must be easily visible in photographs.
5: For the latest coolant recommendations please visit http://bit.ly/sc-important-info. We are
not responsible for staining of the acrylic, but it has never been an issue with our products. Most
staining will be easy to remove by flushing out the loop with distilled water for 24hrs or using
Mayhems Blitz. If you are concerned about staining, then we suggest Mayhems Non-Stain Dyes.

Assembly Manual
Assembly Note
Spectre is built from thick and strong CNC Machined aluminum components with tight tolerances.
There is no flex in the metal parts like there is on other cases. Due to this we have had to build
tolerances into all the mounting holes on Spectre Integra. If something does not align then loosen
all related fasteners on the surrounding panels to let the component settle in, then tighten the
fasteners again.
Step 1: Install ARGB 50cm LED Strips.
Remove the adhesive covers on the LED strips and stick them onto the positions marked in the
diagrams below. Make sure to put the cables in the correct orientation for the best cable
management, which depends where you plan on connecting them in your build. There should be
one LED strip installed onto the inside of LED Cover Front, another installed inside of LED Cover
Top and another installed on the inside of the top Radiator Panel.
IMPORTANT
: All three LED Strips need to be cut to length to fit into position. If you plan on using
the individually LED Strip functions then you need to know how many LEDs are remaining on
each LED Strip after you cut them. When you cut them, count how ma
ny LEDs are remaining on
each LED Strip and remember which header you will plug each one into. The
Spectre Integra M/
M
-A LED Strips each have 30 LEDs before they are cut.
Cut LED Strips on the sections marked in
the diagram below.

Step 2: Install Power Button.
Remove the Power Button retention ring and O-ring. Thread the cable through from the front of
the Front LED Cover until the Power Button is in position. Install the O-ring onto the Power Button
and then tighten the retention ring to hold it in position. The O-ring prevents the Power Button
from coming loose.

Step 3: Install Legs onto Distribution Plate.
Install the Legs onto the Distribution Plate using 8x M6x20mm fasteners. It is best to lay the legs
down on a table in position, then place the distribution plate on top, align the legs to the holes
and then install the fasteners.

Step 4: Install Feet and Top Supports.
Install the Feet, for each one using a M4 x 16mm fastener with an M4 Spring Washer on the middle
hole and 2x M4 x 10mm fasteners with M4 Spring Washers on the outer holes. It is best do this
with the distribution plate laying flat and on the edge of a table so that you can easily access the
Feet.
Install the Top Supports, for each one using 2x M4 x 20mm Fasteners per support. It is best to do
this with the case standing upright on the Fee.

Step 7: Install PCIe 4.0 Vertical GPU Mount.
Step 1: Install Riser Cable.
Install the PCIe Riser Cable (not included). Check you
have the correct orientation (see diagram to the right).
The cutout side of the Vertical GPU Bracket PCIE 4.0
needs to line up with the protruding plastic cover under
the Vertical GPU Riser Cable. Install the Vertical GPU
Riser Cable onto the PCIE 4.0 Vertical GPU Bracket using
the 2x M3 x 10mm Fasteners, 2x M3 Nuts and 6 x M3
Washers (see the diagram to the right for fastener
orientation).
Step 2: Install PCIe 4.0 Vertical GPU Mount.
Remove the PSU Side Panel to gain access into the PSU Shroud. Install the Vertical GPU Bracket
PCIe 4.0 to the PSU Top Panel using the 2x M4 x 10mm Fasteners. The fasteners are installed from
underneath the PSU Top panel. There are several holes in the PSU Top Panel also for the 2nd
Vertical GPU Mount PCIe 4.0 and SSD Mounting so be careful to select the correct mounting holes.
Install the Vertical GPU Angle using the x2 6-32 x 0.25” Fasteners. Be careful to select the correct
position on the Rear IO Panel so that the angle is at the correct height for your GPU.
Note: You may need to adjust the position of the Riser Cable on the PCIE 4.0 Vertical GPU bracket
for correct GPU alignment.

Step 8: Install PCIe 4.0 2nd Vertical GPU Mount.
(This add-on needs to be purchased separately; it is not included with the case).
Step 1: Install Riser Cable.
Install the PCIe Riser Cable (not included). Check you
have the correct orientation (see diagram to the right).
The cutout side of the Vertical GPU Bracket PCIE 4.0
needs to line up with the protruding plastic cover under
the Vertical GPU Riser Cable. Install the Vertical GPU
Riser Cable onto the PCIE 4.0 Vertical GPU Bracket using
the 2x M3 x 10mm Fasteners, 2x M3 Nuts and 6 x M3
Washers (see the diagram to the right for fastener
orientation).
Step 2: Install 2nd PCIe 4.0 Vertical GPU Mount.
Remove the PSU Side Panel to gain access into the PSU Shroud. Install the PCIe 4.0 2nd Vertical
GPU Bracket to the PSU Top Panel using the 2x M4 x 10mm Fasteners. The fasteners are installed
from underneath the PSU Top panel. There are several holes in the PSU Top Panel also for SSD
Mounting so be careful to select the correct mounting holes.Remove the Vertical GPU Angle if it
is already installed. When installing the 1st and 2nd Vertical GPU Mounts both angle pieces are
installed with the same fasteners at the same time. These fasteners are included with the 2nd
Vertical GPU Mount and are not included with the case. Use the 2x 6-32 x 0.5” Fasteners to mount
the Vertical GPU Angle and the Vertical GPU 2nd Angle. These are both attached to opposite sides
of the Rear IO Panel facing opposite directions. Tighten the 2x 6-32 x 0.5" fasteners and then use
the 2x 6-32 Nuts to fix the Vertical GPU Second Angle in position. Be careful to select the correct
position on the Rear IO Panel so that the height is correct for your GPU.

Step 10: Install SSD Tray into PSU Shroud.
4x 2.5" drives can be installed into Spectre Integra-M/MA. There are two locations to install 2.5"
drives, the PSU Bottom Shroud or the PSU Top Panel. The PSU Bottom Shroud has 4x 2.5" side
mounted drive positions and it fits inside of the PSU shroud. The PSU Top Panel has 2x 2.5" drive
mounting positions which are blocked when the Vertical GPU Mount/s are used. The Spectre
Integra-M/MA integrated SATA Data cable management can fit a maximum of 4x SATA Data
cables.
See the diagrams below for the 2.5" drive mounting locations:
Note

Step 11: Install D5 Pump (Not included).
Spectre Integra-M only.
It is easier to do this when the Case or Distribution Plate is horizontal because then you can
sustain downward pressure on the pump while tightening the pump cover to prevent the O-ring
moving out of position.
Position the O-ring in the D5 Pump Top O-ring Groove, make sure that it is not twisted, kinked, or
damaged. Push the pump into the pump top and twist side to side until you feel the O-ring has
settled into the O-ring groove. Then tighten the pump cover firmly onto the pump. Position the
pump cables where you need to for the best cable routing.
