Questions about this item

Will an E-ATX motherboard fit alongside the pre-installed side fans?

Yes, the case supports E-ATX boards and the three 120 mm ARGB fans on the motherboard side are already mounted, leaving the full 470 mm GPU clearance and 180 mm CPU cooler height available.

Can I install a 360 mm radiator at the top without removing the side glass panels?

The top mounts accept up to a 360 mm radiator and the three tempered glass side panels are tool-free removable, so radiator installation does not require permanent panel removal.

What front-panel USB ports are provided for external devices?

The bottom-mounted I/O panel includes two USB 3.0 ports and one USB Type-C port for high-speed data transfer.
