Panoramic design of the Gigabyte C500 Panoramic Stealth ICE
The solid steel construction forms a stable frame for mounting all your PC components. The front and side are covered by 4mm thick tempered glass panels that seamlessly join without a support pillar. Users can open the case without tools, which simplifies both assembly and subsequent hardware maintenance.
Optimised airflow
The top, bottom, and part of the right side panel feature extensive perforations that enable efficient air exchange. The manufacturer has pre-installed four 120mm fans with ARGB backlighting in the case, with three located in the side position and one at the rear. The system actively removes waste heat from the graphics card and processor, maintaining stable operating temperatures even under high load. Dust filters on all intake positions prevent the interior from getting dirty.
Water cooling support in the Gigabyte C500 Panoramic Stealth ICE
There is space to install radiators up to 360mm in size on the top or side. The rear position can accommodate a 140mm heat exchanger. The total capacity of the case allows for up to ten fans to be fitted simultaneously. Ample space allows for the creation of a complex cooling circuit, even for the most powerful processors and graphics cards on the market.
Component space
The interior accommodates graphics cards up to 410mm long. The processor cooler has a height limit of 176mm. The case supports vertical installation of the graphics card, for which it reserves five slots. A special feature is its compatibility with motherboards that have rear-mounted connectors, which makes cable management easier and improves the overall aesthetic.
Storage in the Gigabyte C500 Panoramic Stealth ICE
Users can install data storage in two combination bays for 3.5" or 2.5" drives and one dedicated position for a 2.5" SSD behind the motherboard. The integrated ARGB lighting hub offers five 5V 3-pin connectors. This device unifies the control of the entire build's lighting effects and allows for synchronisation with other hardware via the motherboard's software.
Panel connector layout
The control panel, located on the top, provides quick access to peripherals. It includes a modern USB-C port with high transfer speeds and a pair of USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. The setup is complemented by audio jacks for headphones and a microphone. The placement of the connectors simplifies connecting external drives or phones if the case is on the floor or under a desk.
