Stackable for Enthusiasts
With its endless stacking design, the Core X2 is in a class above the rest. Virtually limitless utility is possible; it offers an expandable system allowing enthusiasts to incorporate externally-modular upgrades.

When stacked, the maximum radiator length supported is 600mm on the front side.
Remarkable Expansion
Designed for high-end gaming system compatibility, the Core X2’s modular drive racks allow gamers to easily install up to six data storage devices, a dual VGA expansion slot of up to 18.8" (480mm) in length, and a tower CPU cooler as high as 230mm. Even with a high-wattage PSU stretching to 7.8" (200mm) in length, it still leaves plenty of space for cable management. Moreover, two 360mm radiators can be installed on top of the chassis, delivering superior cooling performance.
Great Ventilation
The Core X2’s unparalleled cooling ability offers fan brackets with various mounting points to support any type of gaming system that can be accommodated , including DIY/AIO liquid-cooling systems and air-cooling units. Two 120mm fan are preinstalled on the front and rear to reassure and guarantee the flow of aeration. The fan brackets can either be adjusted for 120mm, 140mm, or 200mm fans on the top panel, while there is room for 120mm and 140mm fans on the side panel.
Chambers Concept
Optimized for space management, the Core X2 is divided into two main chambers: the upper chamber is made for cooling performance and better efficiency, while the lower one is made for PSU and drive bays. Thanks to the removable 2.5"/3.5" drive device racks, there is plenty of flexibility to gain the maximum interior space when needed for advanced cooling performance or liquid systems build.
Fully Modular Design
A "3 + 7" drive bay concept design for accessory and storage devices makes setting up the best storage solution on the market super easy and flexible. In addition, a customizable 5.25" & 3.5" drive bay feature enables users to freely interchange the 3.5" hard-drive cages to suit their particular needs.
