Good to know
The front is glass, so there are no front fan or radiator mounts; airflow comes from the side, top and rear. The included fans run from motherboard PWM and ARGB headers, not iCUE LINK. To control them in iCUE you need a separately sold Commander DUO.
FAQ
Will an RTX 5090 fit?
By length, yes. The 425mm limit exceeds most custom RTX 5090 cards. Check the card's thickness and keep the PSU at 180mm or shorter.
How many fans can I install?
Up to ten 120mm fans: three on the side, three on top, one rear, one bottom and two on the PSU shroud.
Do the included fans work with iCUE?
Not directly. They are standard PWM/ARGB fans controlled through your motherboard's lighting software.
