Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL TG Light Tint Black

Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL | Black TG Light Tint ATX Chassis

The Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL Black TG Light Tint is a full-tower case built for gamers and creators who need maximum airflow and component space. It supports E-ATX motherboards and graphics cards up to 512 mm, making it ideal for high-performance builds. With three included Momentum 14 fans and a mesh front panel, it prioritises thermal efficiency without sacrificing style.

Engineered for High-Airflow Performance

This case features a rockface-inspired mesh front panel that maximises intake ventilation. The open interior layout and included air guide direct cool air straight to your components. In practice, this helps maintain lower temperatures during intensive gaming sessions or rendering tasks.

The chassis also supports extensive radiator options for custom liquid cooling loops. You can install up to a 420 mm radiator at the top, or 360 mm radiators in the front and side positions. This flexibility allows you to tailor cooling to your specific hardware requirements.

Spacious Interior for E-ATX and Large GPUs

Build without compromise thanks to support for motherboards up to E-ATX (330 mm wide). The internal layout accommodates graphics cards up to 512 mm in length and CPU coolers up to 182 mm in height. These dimensions provide clearance for most high-end components currently on the market.

Cable management is simplified with a dedicated cover and new cable aligners. This system helps you achieve a clean build aesthetic while improving airflow around the motherboard area. The tinted tempered glass side panel offers a clear view of your components without excessive glare.

Powerful Cooling Included

The Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL Black TG Light Tint comes equipped with three Momentum 14 fans. These feature Liquid Crystal Polymer blades and true FDB bearings for quiet, efficient operation. You can immediately benefit from strong airflow without purchasing additional case fans.

Fan support is comprehensive, with options for up to three 140 mm fans in the front and side panels. The top panel accommodates three 120/140 mm fans, while the rear accepts one 120/140 mm fan. This configuration provides ample scope for balancing positive or negative air pressure setups.

Accessible I/O and Practical Features

The top I/O panel includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port delivering 20 Gbps transfer speeds. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and a combined headphone/mic jack are also present. This ensures quick connection for modern peripherals and storage devices.

Build convenience is enhanced by easily removable panels, including a sliding top panel with a fabric tab. An integrated anti-dust filter helps maintain internal cleanliness over time. The on/off button is clearly accessible on the front I/O assembly.
