Built for E-ATX and custom loops

The Meshify 3 XL RGB is a full-tower chassis made from steel with a ventilated front mesh panel and a light tinted tempered-glass side panel. It ships with three Momentum 14 RGB PWM fans installed at the front and includes ARGB lighting. The case accepts motherboards up to EE-ATX and SSI-EEB, making it suitable for high-end workstation or enthusiast builds that need generous radiator clearance.

Best for multi-radiator water cooling

Builders planning a custom loop with 360 mm front and side radiators plus a 420 mm top radiator will benefit from the removable brackets and spacious interior. The side panel supports three 140 mm fans or 120 mm fans with a radiator, while the top fits three 120/140 mm fans. Systems that rely on 5.25-inch or external 3.5-inch bays, or that need a included power supply, should look elsewhere.

Deciding spec: 420 mm top radiator support

The maximum top radiator length of 420 mm is the critical measurement for custom-loop planners. If your loop design requires a 420 mm radiator in the roof, this chassis accommodates it; if your build only needs a 360 mm or smaller top radiator, a smaller case may suffice.

Questions about this item

What motherboard form factors fit the Meshify 3 XL RGB?

The case supports E-ATX, ATX, mATX, Mini-ITX, EE-ATX, SSI-CEB and SSI-EEB boards.

How are the three included Momentum 14 RGB PWM fans connected, and what step is often missed?

Plug the fans into the motherboard PWM headers and the ARGB cables into a 5 V addressable RGB header; the RGB will stay dark if the ARGB connector is left unplugged.

Which dust filters need regular cleaning on this chassis?

Only the bottom filter is fitted; slide it out from underneath the case to clean it.
