help Fractal Design Core 500 FAQ
Is the Fractal Design Core 500 an ATX mid-tower?
No. It is a compact, roughly 19-liter case for Mini-ITX and Mini-DTX motherboards, although it can accept a full-size ATX power supply.
What is the longest graphics card that fits in the Core 500?
Fractal Design specifies graphics cards up to 310 mm long. Cards longer than 170 mm can conflict with power supplies that are also longer than 170 mm.
Can the Core 500 hold a 240 mm or 280 mm radiator?
Yes, its top mount supports 240 mm and 280 mm radiators after the optical-drive bay is removed. The combined radiator-and-fan thickness is limited to 100 mm.
Does the Core 500 have a tempered-glass side panel?
No. The Core 500 uses closed black panels with filtered ventilation rather than a glass display window, matching its understated small-form-factor design.
