Uncompromised Airflow: Engineered for Optimal Cooling

A stunning case demands exceptional thermal performance. The AORUS C400 is engineered from the ground up to deliver uncompromised airflow, ensuring your powerful components stay cool, stable, and perform at their peak even during the most demanding tasks.

The design prioritizes intelligent air pathways. It features strategically placed ventilation on the front, top, and rear panels to facilitate the efficient intake of cool air and the rapid exhaust of hot air. This creates a consistent and effective flow, crucial for maintaining low temperatures.

Extensive Fan Support: The AORUS C400 offers exceptional flexibility for cooling customization. It supports a wide array of fan configurations to suit any build:

• Front: Supports up to 3 x 120mm or 3 x 140mm fans.
• Top: Supports up to 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans.
• Rear: Supports 1 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm fan.
• Bottom/PSU Shroud: Often includes support for additional fans (e.g., 2 x 120mm) to draw in fresh air for the GPU.

This extensive fan support means you can create a high-volume airflow system, ensuring every component receives adequate cooling.

Advanced Radiator Compatibility: For liquid cooling enthusiasts, the AORUS C400 provides robust radiator support:

• Front: Accommodates radiators up to 420mm in length.
• Top: Supports radiators up to 360mm in length.
• Rear: Fits a 120mm or 140mm radiator.

This generous radiator support allows for the installation of large All-In-One (AIO) liquid coolers for the CPU or even custom liquid cooling loops for both CPU and GPU. It ensures that even the most overclocked and demanding systems remain at optimal operating temperatures.

Pre-installed High-Performance Fans: To kickstart your cooling setup, the AORUS C400 often comes with pre-installed ARGB (Addressable RGB) fans. These fans are typically high-performance, designed to provide excellent airflow and static pressure while generating minimal noise. Their integrated ARGB lighting adds immediate visual flair to your build.

Magnetic Dust Filters: Maintaining optimal cooling performance over time requires effective dust management. The AORUS C400 includes magnetic, easily removable dust filters on all major intake points (front, top, and bottom/PSU shroud). These filters efficiently trap dust, preventing it from accumulating on your components and inside the case. Their magnetic design makes cleaning incredibly convenient and hassle-free, preserving both aesthetics and thermal efficiency.

Unrivaled Compatibility: Build Your Dream Rig

The AORUS C400 GLASS is designed to accommodate the most powerful and enthusiast-grade hardware available, providing exceptional build flexibility.

Extensive Motherboard Support: This versatile mid-tower chassis supports a wide array of motherboard form factors, ensuring compatibility with most modern systems:

• Mini-ITX
• Micro-ATX
• ATX
• E-ATX (up to a certain width, check specific model details)

This broad compatibility provides excellent flexibility, whether you’re building a compact powerhouse or a full-sized, high-performance workstation.

Generous Component Clearances: The AORUS C400 provides ample space for large, high-performance components:

• GPU Length: Supports graphics cards up to an impressive 410mm in length. This comfortably accommodates virtually all current and next-generation flagship graphics cards, including the longest models from NVIDIA and AMD.
• CPU Cooler Height: Allows for CPU air coolers up to 185mm in height. This ensures compatibility with even the largest and most effective tower coolers on the market, providing superior air cooling performance.
• PSU Length: Offers substantial room for power supplies, typically up to 200mm in length. This accommodates high-wattage, modular PSUs required for powerful gaming rigs with multiple GPUs or heavily overclocked systems.

Flexible Storage Options: The case provides versatile storage configurations to meet diverse needs:

• Typically includes 2 x 3.5″ drive bays (which can also support 2.5″ SSDs).
• Additional 2.5″ drive bays (e.g., 2-4 dedicated 2.5″ mounts).

This offers ample space for a combination of high-capacity HDDs for bulk storage and multiple lightning-fast SSDs for games and applications. The flexible mounting points and modular design of the drive cages simplify installation.

Vertical GPU Installation Support: For enthusiasts who want to proudly showcase their high-end graphics card through the tempered glass side panel, the AORUS C400 supports vertical GPU installation. It typically offers 5-7 slot total clearance for this configuration, allowing your GPU to be a central visual element and enhancing thermal performance for the GPU itself. (Note: A PCIe riser cable is typically sold separately and is required for vertical mounting.)

Superior Cable Management and Internal Layout

A clean internal layout is essential for both aesthetics and optimal airflow. The AORUS C400 GLASS excels in cable management, making it easy to achieve a professional-looking build.

The case features a generous 25mm+ of cable routing space behind the motherboard tray. This ample clearance allows you to neatly tuck away thick power cables and numerous fan/RGB wires without struggling to close the side panel.

Strategically placed cable routing grommets (rubberized for protection) and numerous tie-down points facilitate organized cable runs. You can use Velcro straps (often included) or zip ties to secure cables, keeping them hidden from view through the tempered glass.

A dedicated PSU shroud cleanly separates the power supply and its associated cables from the main chamber. This creates a clean, uncluttered interior, further enhancing the visual appeal of your components and improving airflow by preventing cable obstruction. The shroud often features ventilation or mounts for additional fans, adding to cooling potential.

This meticulous attention to cable management ensures that your build in the AORUS C400 will not only perform well but also look impeccably clean, even for builders new to advanced cable routing.
