Question 1

Does it fit mobo with 12" x 10.5" (W x L)?

Accepted Answer

Straight from their website:

E-ATX *(up to 280mm wide) which is 11.02 inches, so it should just barely fit an EATX motherboard

Question 2

Since the PSU is located in its own smaller compartment, do you need to place the PSU fan down to dissipate heat, or is there sufficient space above for air flow?

Accepted Answer

The PSU should be placed fan down to give it access to as much airflow as possible. There is an air intake with a dust filter on the bottom of the case. The PSU shroud itself has no air intake, but it's not completely sealed off from the rest of the case.

Question 3

Will an Aorus Master X (30.5cm x 26.0cm) fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

That board should fit in this case, as it supports motherboards up to 280mm wide (28cm). Additionally, PCPartPicker lists them as being compatible with each other.

Question 4

Does it fit mobo with (W x L) 12" x 10.5"?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the case supports motherboards up to E-ATX size, which can be up to 280mm wide. The dimensions you provided (12" x 10.5") are within this range.

Question 5

What's the make and model of the included front 140mm fans? I'd like to get matching rear and top fans.

Accepted Answer

The included front 140mm fans are M25-140 D-RGB fans.

Question 6

Are you able to turn down the brightness of or disable the RGB on the fans?

Accepted Answer

No you can't change brightness. Yes you can disable the lights with a case button. Press and hold the MODE (M) button for two seconds to turn off LEDs, press again to turn it ON
 * This only applies if you did not connect the case D-RGB header to the motherboard.  If you did make that connection then you must install motherboard vendors software to control the lights, This will give you On/Off and may also give you brightness control.
