Case Xigmatek HERO II AIR 3F Fixed ARGB Mid-Tower ATX Case

The Xigmatek HERO II AIR 3F case is a middle tower ATX chassis aimed at gaming and enthusiast configurations, but without entering the price range of premium cases. You get a classic black design with tempered glass and three fans already included, so you have basic airflow right out of the box. Support for ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards gives you freedom for different builds – from more compact to standard gaming setups. The limitation of up to 310 mm for the graphics card is perfectly fine for most modern GPU models from the mid-range segment.

What you get

At the front, you have the option for up to three 120 mm fans, and at the top – up to two 120 or 140 mm, plus one at the back, so you can build meaningful airflow even for warmer CPU/GPU configurations. The included three fans with fixed ARGB lighting save you budget for cooling and create a finished look right from the first start. Support for water cooling up to 360 mm at the front, 240 mm at the top, and 120 mm at the back allows you to switch to AIO if you decide to overclock or just want a quieter machine. The space for a CPU cooler up to 165 mm is sufficient for most tower air coolers from mid to high class. For storage, you have 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" slots – fully sufficient for a combination of large HDD archives and several SSDs for games and the system.

• Support for motherboards ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX, giving you flexibility in choosing a platform and scale of the build.
• Middle Tower form factor with 7 expansion slots, suitable for standard gaming configurations with space for several expansion cards.
• Three included fans with fixed ARGB lighting, so you have initial airflow and aesthetics without additional costs.
• Support for water cooling up to 360 mm at the front, 240 mm at the top, and 120 mm at the back, which is fully sufficient for powerful CPUs, including under higher load.
• Maximum graphics card size 310 mm, which covers most modern GPUs in the mid-range and part of the high-end segment.
• Maximum height of CPU cooler 165 mm, compatible with a large number of effective tower solutions for quiet and cool performance.
• 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" drive slots, allowing a combination of HDD for volume and SSD for fast access to the system and games.
• Front I/O panel with USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 2, and Audio, so you have quick access to peripherals and headphones without fumbling behind the case.
• Tempered glass on the panel, through which you can see the build and ARGB fans, without sacrificing strength compared to regular glass.
• Power supply placement at the bottom and support for PSU up to 165 mm, which helps for better heat separation between the PSU and the main hardware.

Who it is suitable for

It is suitable for gaming and all-round configurations with an ATX motherboard, one powerful GPU, and a normal amount of drives – a typical build for 1080p or 1440p gaming. If you are chasing extreme air coolers, super long graphics cards, or huge PSUs, the limitations of 310 mm for the GPU and 165 mm for the PSU/CPU cooler may stop you. But for most real configurations, the balance between size, airflow, and functionality is very reasonable.

The combination of tempered glass, included 3 ARGB fans, and good support for air and water cooling makes the Xigmatek HERO II AIR 3F a practical choice if you want a tidy and visually pleasing build without unnecessarily inflating the budget.
