1. Basic requirements for chassis and brackets

Chassis adaptation: Chassis with more than 7 slots is required. Some 7-slot chassis (such as NVK3 and Patriot promotion chassis) need to be equipped with cooling fans at the bottom, and there is no sinking space to ensure hardware installation space and heat dissipation foundation

Bracket installation: Refer to the installation video (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1234y1c74n/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0&vd_source=2d54542153a526c439e4f52a05eeb0cc) for standardized operations.

2. Hardware compatibility and performance

5.0 compatibility: The motherboard, graphics card, and CPU must all support PCIe 5.0 to achieve 5.0 performance; if the hardware is 4.0/3.0, using 5.0 cables will be backward compatible. It is recommended to upgrade to 5.0 configuration to ensure subsequent performance expansion

Cooling and hardware conflicts: When adding expansion cards such as sound cards and network cards or built-in cooling fans to the chassis, conflicts with other hardware (such as graphics cards, water cooling, etc.) must be avoided; due to the small space of the seven-slot chassis, the height of the graphics card water cooling head must be ≤5.6 cm to prevent it from hitting the hardware.

3. Troubleshooting and special situations

Troubleshooting: If the display does not light up, check the hardware connection (graphics card power supply/video cable, graphics card gold finger, etc.); if the motherboard lights up white, follow the process of "unplug power - press the switch to discharge - plug and unplug memory/CMOS battery - reinstall (including independent graphics card plug and unplug)"

Performance fluctuations: When the motherboard is under low load, the GPU-Z measurement version will drop to 1.1 or 2.0, and will automatically rise to 5.0 under high load (such as running high-power software). This is a normal speed reduction and there is no need to worry.
