Furthermore, this case comes generously equipped with two massive 140mm ARGB fans, a 120mm ARGB rear fan, and an ARGB LED strip, all controllable via a built-in controller or motherboard sync.

Discover Cougar Airface RGB Design & Lighting
The Airface RGB stands out with its functional and aesthetic front panel, designed purely for maximum airflow while incorporating an innovative quick-slide dust filter for easy maintenance without panel removal. This focus on airflow doesn’t compromise on looks, especially with the included addressable RGB components. Specifically, you get two large 140mm ARGB fans pre-installed at the front, one 120mm ARGB fan at the rear, and an additional ARGB LED strip to enhance the visual appeal.
Controlling the vibrant lighting is simple. Use the dedicated RGB button on the front I/O panel to cycle through various preset effects. Alternatively, connect the built-in LED controller to a compatible motherboard’s 5V ARGB header for system-wide lighting synchronization, allowing you to coordinate colors and effects across all your ARGB components.
Explore Cougar Airface RGB Cooling & Compatibility
Designed for “unbeatable cooling performance,” the Airface RGB’s perforated front panel and included fans provide a strong foundation for keeping temperatures low. The spacious interior supports up to five fans in total. For liquid cooling, you can mount up to a 280mm radiator in either the front or the top position (but not both simultaneously), or a 120/140mm radiator in the rear. Consequently, you have flexible options for cooling your CPU and other components.
Thanks to its 230mm wide-body design, the Airface RGB offers generous internal space. It boasts an impressive CPU cooler height clearance of up to 190mm, accommodating most large air coolers on the market. Furthermore, it supports graphics cards up to 330mm in length and can house Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX, CEB, and even E-ATX motherboards (up to 277mm wide), providing excellent compatibility for high-end builds.

Examine Cougar Airface RGB Build Experience & Storage
Building within the Airface RGB is facilitated by its ample interior space and thoughtful layout. The 4mm tempered glass side panel provides a clear view of your components. Cable management is aided by the case’s width, offering room behind the motherboard tray. Additionally, the case features 7 standard expansion slots plus 3 vertical slots, allowing for vertical GPU mounting (requires separate riser cable) to showcase your graphics card.
Storage options include dedicated bays for two 3.5″ HDDs and two 2.5″ SSDs using included trays. The case accommodates standard ATX power supplies, although the maximum length is limited to 160mm, which should be considered when selecting a high-wattage unit. The front I/O panel offers two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, a 4-pole headset audio jack, and the dedicated RGB control button.
