CPU Mode / GPU Mode– Quick Test Guide
CPU Mode
- Best for CPU temperature
- Use tower air coolers for thermal test
- When using tower air coolers, you don’t need to install additional fans on top of the case
- Keep the hard-drive cage uninstalled to have best optimal cooling for GPU cooling
GPU Mode
- Balanced cooling between GPU and CPU
- Use tower air coolers for thermal test
- When using tower air coolers, you don’t need to install additional fans on top of the case
- Better for AIO tests
- Keep the hard-drive cage uninstalled to have best optimal cooling for GPU cooling
FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION, TOOL-LESS DESIGN
The LANCOOL 217 uses a tool-less fan mounting system with rubber pads on the front and bottom fans, allowing users to easily shift between CPU-focused and GPU-focused cooling modes.

(Front fans raised to enhance CPU cooling)
Note:
The bottom fan can be installed in the lower area for a cleaner look, or users can remove the bracket screws to install different fans based on their setup needs.
The PCIe slot bracket can be turned 90 degrees to support vertical GPU mounting. In this setup, the bottom fan can be moved under the PSU shroud for a hidden look, giving users more flexibility when building their system.
Note:
The bottom fan can be installed in the lower area for a cleaner look, or users can remove the bracket screws to install different fans based on their setup needs.
FLEXIBLE AND EASY INSTALLATION
The LANCOOL 217 comes with screws and washers for installing 120mm fans. Users can take out the screws on the two bottom fans to swap them for different ones. The PSU shroud cover can also be removed, making room for up to three 120mm fans.
DUAL PSU MOUNTING, FLEXIBLE BUILDS
The LANCOOL 217 supports two PSU mounting ways, giving the users more options based on the PSU size, cable routing, and overall build layout. This flexible design makes it easier to set up the system, enhancing convenience and compatibility.
(Standard Mode)
When the PSU connectors face the front, it supports ATX PSU up to 220mm long, which is suitable for most standard installs.
Note: Standard mode only supports one HDD cage. If users want to install two HDD cages, please switch to rotated mode.
(Rotated Mode)
When the PSU is turned 90° with the connectors facing the right side, it supports compact PSU up to 180mm. This optimizes cable routing space and allows the fan to directly cool the PSU for improved cooling efficiency. Users can also move the two included bottom fans under the bracket for a hidden look, making the build cleaner and more organized.
MOTHERBOARD COMPATIBILITY
Supports motherboard sizes:
EEB (width <330mm) / E-ATX (width <280mm)
ATX/ Micro-ATX/ Mini-ITX.
Back-connect motherboard support: ATX, Micro-ATX.
E-ATX Mode
EEB Mode
Note: For using the E-ATX motherboards, the right-side bracket needs to be flipped, and as for using EEB motherboards, the users need to remove the shielding plate on the right-side bracket and the rubber grommets for cable routing.
Compared to the LANCOOL 216, the LANCOOL 217 now supports back-connect motherboards. By removing the HDD cage behind the motherboard tray, it can accommodate M-ATX back-connect motherboards.
DRIVE SUPPORT
Behind motherboard tray: 2 x 2.5″ SSDs or 1 x 2.5″ SSD
(when using a rear-mounted Micro-ATX motherboard)
HDD cage: 2 x 3.5″ HDD + 2 x 2.5″ SSD+(2 x 3.5″ HDD or 2 x 2.5″ SSD)
PSU shroud cover: 1 x 2.5″ SSD
Note:
To install a second HDD cage, the PSU must be rotated to the rotated mode. Installing two HDD cages in standard mode will cause interference with the PSU.
LARGE GPU, EXCEPTIONAL COMPATIBILITY
The LANCOOL 217 supports GPU up to 380mm in length and features an adjustable anti-sag bracket, ensuring a perfect and secure fit for GPU.
COMPREHENSIVE FAN/RADIATOR SUPPORT
The LANCOOL 217 offers extensive compatibility, supporting both 120mm and 140mm fans.
Note:
To install 120mm or 140mm fans at the front, the included fan bracket from the accessory box must be installed first.
BRACKET FOR FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION
The top radiator bracket can be fully removed from the chassis, allowing users to install hardware more conveniently. When removing the bracket, the left-side frame bar is removed along with it, creating more available space for installation.
USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN
The LANCOOL 217 features two power buttons suitable for different usage. The top power button is easy to reach when the case is on the floor, and the front button works best if the case is on the desk.
Both the front and the bottom include removable magnetic dust filters, effectively preventing dust buildup and extending hardware lifespan.
All fans come with rubber anti-vibration mounts combined with low-noise optimized design, keeping operation noise levels as low as 33.2 dBA for a quiet and comfortable environment.
ENHANCE COOLING WITH THE ANTI-PRESSURE LEAK AIRFLOW PLATES
For air cooler users, we now offer a downloadable STP file to 3D-print custom anti-pressure leak airflow plates. Designed specifically for the top fan bracket of the LANCOOL 217, these plates help contain cool air, enhancing CPU cooling efficiency.
Internal testing shows that installing the airflow plates leads to measurable improvements in thermal performance.
