The HYTE X50 Air is a pitch black ATX mid-tower PC case for builders assembling a gaming or enthusiast desktop. Its support for Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards gives builders room to choose a suitable platform, while the full-coverage micro-mesh design is aimed at systems that need generous airflow.

The layout provides direct airflow beneath the graphics card and ventilation designed to guide warm air out through the rear. There is space for graphics cards up to 430mm long and 160mm high, plus support for up to ten fans across the front, side, bottom and rear. The front and side radiator positions can each accommodate radiators up to 360mm, giving water-cooled builds additional layout flexibility.

Key features

• Full-coverage micro-mesh provides a low-resistance air intake.
• Direct bottom airflow helps keep the graphics card cool.
• Louvered ventilation guides exhaust air towards the rear.
• Supports Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards up to 10.6 inches wide.
• Fits graphics cards up to 430mm long and 160mm high.
• Supports up to ten fans, including three 120mm or 140mm fans at the front.
• Front and side positions support radiators up to 360mm long.
• Tool-less front and side panels provide quick access for building and maintenance.

Compatibility

Check your graphics card dimensions, motherboard size and CPU cooler height before choosing components. The case supports CPU coolers up to 170mm high and power supplies up to 223mm long. It has two 2.5-inch drive positions and one 3.5-inch drive position, seven horizontal expansion slots, and front USB Type-A, USB Type-C and 3.5mm audio connections. Good to know: the X50 Air uses a micro-mesh side panel; it does not have the laminated acoustic glass side panel of the standard X50.
