Installation & RGB Lighting



View 37 is a very spacious computer case and this greatly assists with the installation process. Being able to manoeuvre parts into place allows the process to be relatively trouble-free. In particular, due to the lack of any top panel and open space at the top of View 37, access to the CPU cooler, cabling and radiator was excellent and proved to be beneficial.

The highlight for this case is the vast amount of clearance around the back of the motherboard tray which paves the way for superb cable management – and there are a lot of cables to consider with the fans and RGB lighting device!

If you are planning to install the radiator in the same position as we have (at the front of the motherboard tray) then it’s crucial to move any items out of the way of the backside of the motherboard tray. Blocking airflow will create heat buildup and could have a detrimental effect on CPU temperatures or even system performance. To that end, any hard drive brackets in this area cannot be used.


To rotate the graphics card and have it positioned on the included bracket a riser cable is required – this is not supplied in the accessories bundle. As a matter of interest, we tried using an unbranded riser cable (non-Thermaltake) and this sadly would not fit as shown above – the mounting holes do not align to the mounts. If you are planning on using a riser cable the mounting holes must be 4” or 101.6mm apart


As part of View 37’s accessories bundle there are two RGB control units. One is a primary unit and the other can be added in as a more convenient way to adjust options via PCI. To use the PCI unit, a bridging cable must be connected between both devices.

All of the fans must be connected as shown above – the cables running from the fans are in fact just like USB headers. A PWM cable between the unit and motherboard is required and SATA power is also necessary (all are included with the case).



Above we have a demo of the system powered up with the lighting active – as you can see, different lighting modes, colours, colour speed can be set and the fan speed can be modified to low or high from this device.
