Gigabyte announces their new Xtreme Gaming XC700W chassis

Gigabyte announces their new Xtreme Gaming XC700W chassis

Published: 30th November 2016 | Source: Techpowerup | Author: Mark Campbell

Gigabyte announces their new Xtreme Gaming XC700W chassis, which comes with RGB lighting, a tempered glass side panel and plenty of space for large GPUs and motherboards. 

This chassis is designed to have a similar aesthetic to the companies existing Xtreme Gaming PSUs and GPUs, with the chassis' RGB lighting being controllable by a Gigabyte motherboard with an RGB header.  

The core frame for the chassis is made out of SECC steel, with the case having a brushed Aluminium side panel and a tempered glass panel. 

The case lacks any 5.25" drive bays for optical drive bays or large fan speed controllers, with the chassis coming with three 3.5/2.5 inch drive bays and three dedicated 2.5-inch drive mounts. 

On the chassis there is a single rear 140mm fan mount with 3x120mm/2x140mm fan mounts on the top, making this case suitable for a single large water cooling radiator. 

Right now Gigabyte has not announced the pricing or the availability of this new chassis, though it is expected to be released before the end of the year. 

You can join the discussion on Gigabyte's Xtreme Gaming XC700W chassis on the OC3D Forums.

As per their product page here Gigabyte Product Page airflow is from bottom to top. I am not liking this case much. The wasted space in the front of the case is a big question for me. Also there is not a very good way to get positive air flow in this case as I can see only room for maybe one fan on the bottom of the case as vents don't go all the way to the front. You would also have to use the back fan as an intake to even get anything close to positive air flow pressure.Quote

Yeah, seems like it and I'm not a fan of this case at all. Seems like someone brainfarted in the design when it comes to cooling and airflow.

Those 3 blue intake arrows sure are deceiving since over half of that area is blocked by the PSU. Maybe the name should be changed to XTREMELY THROTTLED GAMING'

Maybe they should have just put slits around that front panel with a filter behind and some intake fans in that enormous void?? I get having free area in the plane of the PCI slots, but WTF goes in that upper front space?Quote

It was all going so well until they plastered XTREME GAMING across the side.Quote
