The Deepcool MATREXX 55 MESH V4 C is a mid-tower ATX case that aims to strike a balance between aesthetics and functionality. With its mesh front panel, tempered glass side panel, and three pre-installed 140mm aRGB fans, the MATREXX 55 MESH V4 C certainly looks the part. But does it deliver on its promise of optimal airflow and a premium PC building experience? Let’s find out.
Features
The MATREXX 55 MESH V4 C is packed with features that cater to a wide range of PC builders. Here are some of the standout features:
- Mesh Front Panel: This is a key element of the case’s design, providing ample airflow for your components. The mesh is fine enough to prevent dust buildup, while still allowing for excellent air intake.
- Tempered Glass Side Panel: The tempered glass side panel offers a clear view of your internal components, making it perfect for showcasing your custom build. The glass panel is also secure and well-mounted, ensuring it won’t easily fall off.
- 3x 140mm aRGB & 1x 120mm aRGB Pre-Installed Fans: These fans provide excellent airflow and vibrant RGB lighting. The fans are controlled by a dedicated RGB controller, allowing you to customize the lighting effects.
- 360mm Max Radiator Support: The case offers ample radiator support for liquid cooling systems, with room for up to a 360mm radiator in the front. This makes it suitable for high-end builds that demand maximum cooling performance.
- ABS+SPCC Materials: The case is constructed from a combination of ABS and SPCC materials, ensuring it’s both durable and lightweight.
Performance
The MATREXX 55 MESH V4 C excels in terms of airflow and cooling performance. The mesh front panel and three pre-installed 140mm fans ensure that air circulates effectively, keeping your components cool even under heavy load. I tested the case with a Ryzen 9 5900X CPU and an RTX 3080 GPU, and temperatures remained well within acceptable limits, even during extended gaming sessions.
One of the things that really impressed me about the MATREXX 55 MESH V4 C was its quietness. Despite the powerful fans, the case remained surprisingly quiet even at full load. This is a testament to the quality of the fans and the overall sound dampening design of the case.
