How to access front fan Orion 3000 PO3-620?

Fingarn · February 21

Hi,

I have upgraded the case fan at the rear of the case. I want to proceed and replace the front fan aswell. However, I do not understand how to open up the front of the case. Anyone out there who can explain? Is there an exploded view of the predator orion 3000 P03-620 case availiable?

Hi there!

I'm still waiting for my unit to be delivered, so I can't really help you. Sorry! I'm planning on replacing both fans, so I'll be interested to know this as well.

Can you share with us what fan did you install in the back? Thanks! And while your case is open, could you measure the clearance from the motherboard to the side panel? You see, I'd like to replace the original CPU heatsink with an aftermarket one. If you have done this already, which HSF did you get?

Will get back with measurements when I get around to exchanging front fan. Changing back fan lowered noice from 90dB to 83 dB on full fan speed.

Clearence to motherboard is 155mm. And CPU cooler fastened with screws cc 75mm.

Good guide @brummyfan2 . Between step 1 and 2 the screws holding the headphone thing had to be taken out, otherwise my front wouldn’t come off. Top right corner of the case, right behind the headphone thingy.
