We at SilentiumPC are not afraid of water. That’s why we decided to release a unique chassis designed specifically for liquid cooling your PC, the Aquarius X90 Pure Black. Design concept behind the case is simple – to give you extra space and flexibility for installing an advanced custom water cooling loop without any modifications. Combined with compact dimensions and amazing value for money it makes the X90 the ultimate choice for high-end gaming systems.
Real water cooling support
Straight out of the box the Aquarius X90 supports up to three thick radiators! There is a space for 120/140mm rad in the back, 240/280mm on the top and 360mm in the front. Even with all three in place there is still enough room and options for pump and reservoir placement as well as convenient tubing arrangement. Some lines can even be routed behind the motherboard tray for cleaner and more elegant looking system.
Smart design
Apart from water cooling focus the Aquarius X90 is a solid, well-designed case. While retaining relatively compact, mid-tower footprint it offers spacious interior capable of accommodating up to E-ATX size motherboards, dual-power-supplies, up to 355mm long graphics cards (with the front radiator installed). It’s also very wide which helps with the cable management and allow to install CPU coolers up to 180mm high. The X90 is also ready for multi-GPU configurations thanks to the 8+1 expansion slots.
The case also features two 5,25” drive bays, one 3,5” external drive bay and up to four 3,5” hard drives can be installed in the bottom HDD cage which can be repositioned or removed entirely for more clearance. Two 2,5” SSD can be snuggly installed behind the motherboard tray.
Efficient airflow
The interior of the case is simple by design to achieve unobstructed, straight-through airflow resulting in superior thermal performance to keep any type of system performing at optimal temperatures. Aquarius X90 comes pre-equipped with four silent SilentiumPC fans, three 120mm in the front and one 140mm in the back as well as the six-port fan hub for better cable arrangement. Two additional 120/140mm fans can be mounted on the top for additional airflow.
Classy looks
Simple yet elegant lines of the Aquarius X90 correspond well with the Pure Black color scheme. Both exterior and interior with all the little details, everything is black – a perfect background for adding tubes or coolant in your desired color to create impressive water cooling masterpiece.
Optional extras
For added functionality Aquarius X90 can be fitted with optional side window for showing off your system and two special brackets for installing up to eight(!) additional 3,5” hard drives.
