Fractal Design Meshify C Review

 

Cooling

If you want to put a standard tower air cooler into the Meshify, then you’ll be pleased to know that anything up to 172mm in height will fit just fine.  In real money what this means is that there are very few CPU tower coolers out there that won’t fit in here. 

 

 

It’s more likely though that you’re going to want to put a custom loop, or at the very least one or two AIOs in here.  So let’s take a look at the roof area first shall we.  Well, we already know that there’s room up here for a 240 and even a 280mm rad.  There is though a caveat, and that is that owing to the slim 30mm of space before you hit the motherboard you’re limited slightly in that although there are roof off sets for the mounts you’re going to need to make sure that you’ve got nothing in the CPU/RAM area of the motherboard that’s over 40mm in height.  Don’t say you haven’t been warned. 

 

 

There’s quite a bit more room at the front of the case though, with 97mm of room before the edge of the motherboard is encountered.  

 

 

That said, you will encounter the cable routing grommets and main ATX cable at the 75mm mark, which isn’t a disaster as it gives ample room for a 50mm thick rad with standard thickness fans.
