Description
The Gigabyte AORUS C400 GLASS redefines the mid-tower experience by prioritizing thermal dynamics and aesthetic clarity. Its 40L internal volume is meticulously organized to support full-sized ATX motherboards while facilitating a vertical cooling chimney effect. With a panoramic tempered glass side panel and integrated RGB Fusion control, this chassis serves as both a high-performance thermal solution and a visual centerpiece for modern gaming setups.
This product is for:
- High-performance gamers seeking a compact ATX chassis that doesn't compromise on GPU cooling or radiator support.
- PC enthusiasts who prioritize vertical airflow designs to maximize heat dissipation from high-TDP components.
- Content creators requiring a clean, professional aesthetic with high-speed USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C front-panel connectivity.
- RGB aficionados looking for a turnkey solution with four pre-installed ARGB PWM fans and a dedicated control hub.
- System builders who value ease of installation with ample clearance for 360mm radiators and 360mm graphics cards.
Detailed specifications:
- Form Factor: Mid Tower supporting ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards.
- Dimensions: 435mm x 210mm x 469mm (H x W x D) with a 40L internal capacity.
- Cooling Support: Pre-installed 3x 120mm ARGB PWM bottom fans and 1x 120mm ARGB PWM rear fan.
- Radiator Compatibility: Supports up to 360mm radiators at both the top and bottom positions.
- Component Clearances: Maximum CPU cooler height of 168mm, GPU length up to 360mm, and PSU length up to 160mm.
- I/O Connectivity: 1x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, 2x USB 3.0, and HD Audio In/Out.
Building in the AORUS C400 GLASS is a streamlined process thanks to its thoughtful internal layout. The vertical airflow design draws cool air from the bottom directly into the GPU, significantly reducing thermal throttling during intensive tasks. The inclusion of an ARGB control box simplifies cable management, allowing users to synchronize lighting effects across the four pre-installed fans via RGB Fusion. The panoramic glass panel offers an unobstructed view of the internal components, while the dust filters on the front, top, and bottom ensure long-term system cleanliness and maintenance ease.
Compared to traditional front-to-back airflow cases, the AORUS C400 GLASS utilizes a chimney-style thermal path that is more efficient for modern, high-wattage graphics cards. While many mid-towers struggle with 360mm radiator placement, the C400 supports dual 360mm configurations at the top and bottom, offering superior liquid cooling flexibility over competitors in the same volume class. Its 40L size strikes a better balance between desk space and component compatibility than larger full-tower alternatives.
