Antec C5 ARGB Mid-Tower ATX PC Case

Dual-chamber ATX mid-tower

The Antec C5 ARGB is a steel-and-glass mid-tower that accepts ATX, Micro-ATX and ITX boards, including back-connect designs. A dual-chamber layout isolates the power supply in a right-hand compartment with 95mm of cable-routing space behind the motherboard tray. Seven pre-installed 120mm ARGB PWM fans — three at the bottom, three on the side as reverse-flow units and one at the rear — are driven by a built-in ARGB and PWM controller that supports up to ten fans simultaneously.

Thermals and acoustics at idle

Seamless 4mm tempered glass on the front and side uses a 45° bevel to create a 270° panoramic view with minimal joint gaps. The front panel includes an integrated ARGB strip and removes without tools. Dust filters on the top and bottom protect the interior while the seven included fans run under PWM control, allowing speed to drop at low load for quieter operation. A USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports and dual audio jacks sit on the front I/O.

Behaviour under sustained load

The case fits graphics cards up to 410mm long, CPU coolers up to 160mm tall and power supplies up to 240mm deep. Radiator support covers 360mm at the top and bottom, 280mm on the side and 120mm at the rear. Additional mounts accept three 120mm or two 140mm fans on the top and side, three 120mm fans on the bottom and one 120mm fan at the rear. Storage options include one 3.5-inch bay and two 2.5-inch bays behind the motherboard tray.
