Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL Black RGB TG Light Tint, Full Tower High-Airflow Gaming Case, 10x Fan Mounts, ARGB Gen2 Momentum Fans, E-ATX Support & Adjustable Cooling

The Fractal Design Meshify 3 XL Black RGB TG Light Tint is the flagship, full-tower incarnation of the Meshify lineup—crafted for high-end builders, extreme cooling, and eye-catching displays. This chassis combines brute airflow engineering with elegant modern aesthetics, offering a balance between performance and showpiece visual appeal.

Design & Aesthetic

Meshify 3 XL inherits the signature “rockface” mesh front panel of the Meshify family, pushing airflow while projecting a strong visual identity. The “TG Light Tint” variant provides a tempered glass side panel with subtle shading—showcasing internal components and RGB lighting while reducing glare and visual noise. 

In this RGB version, all ARGB elements are Gen2-capable, enabling fine-grained lighting across fans and case strips. The integrated Adjust Pro hub (if included in SKU) helps manage lighting and fan groups without needing extra software overhead. 

Interior layout emphasizes cleanliness. A full-length cable cover, cable aligners, push-lock panels, and tool-free top panel removal all aid in assembly and rerouting. 

Cooling, Airflow & Radiators

Cooling capability is a major strength. The Meshify 3 XL supports:

• Front radiators: Up to 360 / 280 mm

• Top radiators: Up to 420 / 360 mm (with extended support)

• Side radiators: 360 mm (with optional brackets)

• Rear radiator: 120 / 140 mm
  
  

Fan mounting options are expansive: up to 10 × 140 mm or 7 × 120 mm positions across front, top, side, and rear. The included 3 × Momentum 14 ARGB Gen2 fans already provide strong airflow and aesthetic lighting, while extra fan headers allow flexible expansion. 

An air guide inside helps channel airflow directly toward the GPU and critical components, improving thermal performance under load. 

Hardware Compatibility & Layout

These modern features make connectivity with high-speed SSDs, external docks, and peripherals seamless.

Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:

• Massive interior space and generous clearances for future-proof builds

• Excellent airflow and cooling flexibility for custom loops or high-end AIO configurations

• Built-in ARGB lighting with synergy between case and fans

• Clean building experience with quality cable management features

Considerations:

• Because of its size, it’s a large chassis; ensure your setup or desk space can accommodate ~575 mm height. 

• While airflow is significant, dense fan configurations or closed side configurations may incur thermal trade-offs—plan fan layout carefully

• Ensure your PSU, cables, and shorter/dense setups account for the spatial allowances
