Each motherboard hasdifferent standoff layout. It ishighly
suggested that yourefer to your motherboard's manual when
installing motherboard intothe Case. Thecases are applicablewith
Standard ATX,Micro ATX motherboards.
Your motherboard may requirea special I/O Panel, which should be
included with yourmotherboard.
Placement Direction:
When installing themotherboard, make sure you follow thedirection
provided by yourmotherboard manufacturer. On most standard
motherboards, the edgewith external ports goes to therear part of the
chassis. It ishighly recommended thatyou install CPU,heat sink and
modular components beforefixing the motherboard inside the chassis.

4.1 Toughpower / Purepower / TR2
power supply series (optional)
The Thermaltake Power Supply series specification meets latest Intel & AMD dual
& Quad core processors and NVIDIA & AMD high performance graphic cards; it
offers plenty of functions, which mainly include:
1. Automatic Fan Speed Control: All power supply can detect the inside
heat and automatically adjust the fan speed to provide adequate airflow.
2. Ultra Silent: Ball bearing fans with high reliability 140mm or 120mm
cooling fan and super low acoustic noise under all load condition.
3. Modularized Cable Management: To eliminate clutter and improve
airflow inside the case.
4. Dedicated Graphic Card Power: reduce the loading on current PSU and
no need to upgrade current PSU while running multi graphic cards mode.
The functions can assure all Thermaltake Power Supply meets the balance in
noise control and heat exhausted. All power supply provides complete protection
function as follow:
1. Over power protection.
2. Short circuit protection on all output.
3. Over voltage protection / Under voltage protection.
4. Over current protection.
5. Over temperature protection.
Besides, Thermaltake enables the quality assurance of all power supply:
100% Hi-POT and ATE Function Test, 100% Burn-In and AC Input cycled on/off
under high temperature condition. Furthermore, it has been approved by UL, CUL,
TUV, CB, FCC, CE, and BSMI.
There are three main products line of Thermaltake PSU which divided into Toughpower,
Purepower (include Purepower RX) and TR2 (include TR2 RX) series. Please refer to
