FAQs

How many 3.5" HDDs can this case hold?

The Meshify 2 RGB comes with 6 drive trays that can accommodate either 3.5" HDDs or 2.5" SSDs. With additional optional Multibrackets, the storage capacity can be expanded significantly.

Does the case include a fan hub?

Yes, the Meshify 2 RGB includes the Fractal Design Nexus+ 2 fan hub, which allows you to connect up to three PWM fans and six 3-pin fans.

Can I install a 360mm radiator?

Yes, the case supports radiators up to 360mm in the front and top mounting positions in its default Open Layout configuration.

What is the maximum graphics card length supported?

The case supports graphics cards up to 45 cm in length, providing ample space for most high-end GPUs.

Is RGB control software-based or hardware-based?

The case features a built-in RGB controller on the front/top I/O, offering hardware control via a dedicated button. The included Aspect 14 RGB PWM fans can be synchronized through this controller.

Does the tempered glass panel slide or hinge?

The tempered glass panels feature a tool-less, top-latching system, allowing for quick access without requiring screws, and they prevent accidental drops.

What kind of CPU cooler height is supported?

The Meshify 2 RGB supports CPU coolers with a maximum height of 18.5 cm.

Troubleshooting

PC does not power on

Ensure the power supply is switched on and the power cable is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet. Verify that the front panel power switch is correctly connected to the motherboard header.

Overheating components

Check that all case fans are spinning and properly oriented for airflow (intake at front, exhaust at rear/top). Ensure dust filters are clean and not obstructing airflow. Verify CPU cooler and GPU fans are functioning correctly.

RGB lighting not working

Confirm that the RGB controller cable is connected to the motherboard's RGB header (if applicable) and that the fans are correctly plugged into the Nexus+ 2 fan hub. Check that the RGB control button on the I/O panel is functioning, or that any software controlling RGB is running.

USB ports not functioning

Ensure the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1 header cables are securely connected to the motherboard. Check motherboard drivers and try plugging in a different USB device to isolate the issue.

Excessive noise from fans

The included Aspect 14 RGB PWM fans are designed for quiet operation. If noise is excessive, check if fan blades are obstructed. Ensure fans are set to appropriate speeds via PWM control from the motherboard or fan hub. Consider using quieter fans if noise persists at desired performance levels.
