The XIGMATEK Aqua V Air Arctic is a white ATX mid-tower chassis engineered for builders who want a clean “Arctic” look, tempered-glass presentation, and the kind of cooling and fitment headroom that keeps modern high-power systems stable. XIGMATEK positions the case around practical constraints that matter in the real world—GPU length, PSU length, air cooler height, radiator sizes, and the number and placement of fans—while also acknowledging how motherboard design is changing by explicitly stating support for ATX back-plug motherboards.
Clean Arctic design with tempered glass visibility
This model is defined by a bright white exterior and a dual-glass presentation. XIGMATEK describes it as a chassis with 2 tempered glass panels, intended to make internal components visible and to highlight lighting and build quality. In practice, this matters for anyone investing in a coordinated system theme: white cases tend to amplify RGB diffusion, make cable runs more obvious (so you build cleaner), and visually separate components for a “showcase” feel without requiring extreme custom work.
ATX platform focus, plus back-plug motherboard support
Compatibility starts with the motherboard platform: ATX max is the core design target, but XIGMATEK also lists Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX support. The important detail here is the explicit mention of ATX (Support Back Plug) and Micro ATX (Support Back Plug). Back-plug (rear-connector / back-connect) motherboards route many of the typical board connectors to the rear side to create a cleaner cable-free front view. A case that supports this format reduces the friction for builders aiming for an ultra-clean interior look, because the chassis has to physically allow the rear-connector geometry to work. XIGMATEK calling this out means you can list it confidently as a compatibility feature, not just a “maybe.”
Cooling architecture built for real airflow
Aqua V Air Arctic is strongly cooling-oriented. XIGMATEK highlights “superior airflow and ventilation design,” and the actual mounting capacity supports that positioning. The case supports up to 10 fans total, split across the main airflow zones: top, motherboard-side panel, bottom, and rear. The exact fan support is:
-
Top: 120mm ×3 or 140mm ×2
-
MB panel: 120mm ×3 or 140mm ×2
-
Bottom: 120mm ×3 (without 3.5″ HDD)
-
Rear: 120mm ×1
This distribution is meaningful because it gives you a strong intake surface area (MB panel + bottom) and a clean exhaust route (top + rear). If you’re building with a high-power GPU that dumps heat into the case, MB-panel intake fans can deliver fresh air directly across the GPU and motherboard zone, while bottom intake can feed the GPU with additional airflow. Meanwhile, top exhaust is a classic strategy for removing rising warm air and for supporting large radiators. XIGMATEK even notes the intended fan blade orientation concept: “traditional fan blade pre-installed on rear side” and “reverse fan blade pre-installed on MB panel side,” reinforcing that the motherboard-side zone is treated as a primary airflow intake path.
Radiator support across multiple zones up to 360mm
Liquid cooling fitment is one of the strongest reasons to choose this chassis. XIGMATEK lists radiator support in multiple locations:
This is significant because you’re not forced into a single “front radiator only” layout. Builders can place a 360mm AIO where it makes the most sense for their component priorities, or even design a custom loop with multiple radiator zones. A top 360mm radiator is a common performance-first CPU cooling option. An MB-panel 360mm radiator can be attractive when you want to keep the top panel free for exhaust or when a specific tube routing plan works better on the side. Bottom 360mm support is also notable in airflow-focused builds, although it must be planned carefully with storage and dust management (and it depends on the “without 3.5″ HDD” condition). The key listing value is that the chassis gives you choice; you can select the radiator placement that best matches your GPU size, cable routing, and maintenance preferences.
Fitment for modern large GPUs and full-size PSUs
Modern GPUs keep getting longer. XIGMATEK lists GPU length limitation: 410mm, which is enough headroom for many oversized triple-fan cards. This is a primary spec because GPU fitment is one of the top causes of returns in gaming cases. On the power side, XIGMATEK lists PSU length limitation up to 220mm, which covers a wide range of full-size ATX power supplies, including many higher wattage models. For air cooling, the case supports CPU cooler clearance up to 165mm, which fits many mainstream tower coolers while still requiring a check for extra-tall dual-tower designs. These three numbers—410mm GPU, 220mm PSU, 165mm CPU cooler—should be kept prominent in your listing because they answer the buyer’s compatibility questions immediately.
Storage layout and drive bay options
XIGMATEK breaks storage into two zones: “HDD cage” and “bottom panel.” The page lists:
-
HDD Cage: 2.5″ ×2 & 3.5″ ×1
-
Bottom Panel: 2.5″ ×2 & 3.5″ ×1
And separately notes bottom fan support “without 3.5″ HDD,” which implies the bottom 3.5″ position conflicts with bottom triple-fan installation. This is normal in airflow-dense case designs: you trade a drive position to open airflow capacity. For most modern builds (where primary storage is often M.2 NVMe on the motherboard), that tradeoff is acceptable and often preferred. It’s still worth stating clearly in the listing to avoid confusion for users planning multiple HDDs.
Front I/O with USB-C for modern peripherals
The top I/O ports are modern and complete: USB 3.0 ×2, USB-C ×1, and HD Audio, plus a power button, reset button, and a light switch button. USB-C on the front/top panel is now a practical expectation for many buyers using newer phones, portable SSDs, and hubs. Having it on the case reduces dependency on rear I/O access and improves daily convenience, especially in desk setups where the tower is placed below the desktop surface.
Summary positioning for your store
For Godukkan listing purposes, Aqua V Air Arctic should be positioned as: a white ATX mid-tower with dual tempered glass, strong airflow potential up to 10 fans, broad radiator placement up to 360mm in multiple zones, modern I/O including USB-C, and fitment headroom for 410mm GPUs and 220mm PSUs—with explicit support for ATX / mATX back-plug motherboards. If the buyer wants a clean white build with modern hardware support and flexible cooling layouts, the spec set here is exactly what matters.
