Assembly Note

 

 

Spectre is build 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 3.0. 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 DRGB 50cm LED Strips.  

Pieces Involved

 

•

 

3x 50cm DRGB LED Strips

 

•

 

j

Radiator Panel - Top

 

•

 

BO

LED Covers - Front and Top

   

 

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.  

IMPORTANT

: All three LED Strips need to be cut to length to fit into position. When you cut them, 

count how many LEDs you are removing. For DRGB LED Strips the LED count is needed because 
each LED is addressable. The Spectre 3.0 LED Strips each have 30 LEDs.
