Three Included VK120 ARGB Fans

The DarkBlader X5 RGB includes three VK120 ARGB fans.

Each fan features COUGAR's Tri-Directional RGB Circle of Light, while the front-panel design uses the fans' illumination to create a distinctive glowing effect around the matte exterior.

The VK120 fans also feature:

• PWM fan control
• Hydro-Dynamic Bearings
• ARGB lighting

Customizable RGB Lighting

A built-in LED controller and dedicated lighting button allow you to change the case's lighting effects directly.

The lighting system can also connect to a compatible motherboard through a 5V ARGB connection, allowing the case lighting to synchronize with supported motherboard RGB software.

Tempered-Glass Showcase Design

A large tempered-glass left side panel provides a clear view of your components and RGB lighting.

Rather than mounting directly through drilled glass, the panel incorporates a metal frame as part of its construction.

A full-length PSU cover helps conceal the power supply and cabling beneath the primary component area.

Cable Management

The DarkBlader X5 RGB incorporates a cable-management bar and cable-management cover to help route and conceal wiring.

A graphics card holder is also included to provide additional support for installed GPUs.

Vertical GPU Support

The DarkBlader X5 RGB supports vertical graphics card installation, giving builders another option for displaying their GPU through the tempered-glass side panel.

Cooling Support

The DarkBlader X5 RGB comes equipped with:

• 3 × VK120 ARGB PWM Fans

The case also supports water-cooling radiators up to 360mm.

The supplied description references support for seven fans; however, because the provided information does not specify the individual fan mounting positions, we're leaving the detailed maximum fan configuration out rather than making assumptions.

Motherboard Compatibility

The DarkBlader X5 RGB supports motherboards up to E-ATX, providing flexibility for larger, high-performance system configurations.

Connectivity

The case includes:

• USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C
• USB 3.0
• Integrated lighting control

The supplied description does not specify the number of USB ports, so we're deliberately leaving quantities unspecified.

Why You'll Love It

The COUGAR DarkBlader X5 RGB is a great option for builders who want a more aggressive PC aesthetic without sacrificing practical features.

Three VK120 ARGB PWM fans give you lighting and cooling right out of the box, while the tempered-glass panel, vertical GPU support, integrated RGB controller, cable-management features, E-ATX compatibility, and support for up to a 360mm radiator give you plenty of flexibility when putting your system together.

Its asymmetrical front design also gives the DarkBlader X5 RGB a very different personality from more minimalist or panoramic cases.
