DeepCool CH170 PLUS WH Vertical M-ATX Compact Case for Clean, Efficient Builds

The DeepCool CH170 PLUS WH Vertical M-ATX Compact Case is built for users who want a high-performance PC in a compact footprint without sacrificing cooling potential or component flexibility. Its vertical layout helps reduce the amount of desk space your system occupies while also supporting improved internal airflow paths—an advantage when you’re running demanding workloads like gaming sessions, content creation, or multitasking with multiple applications. The clean white exterior and mesh-focused design language give it a modern, minimalist look that fits well in both home setups and professional workspaces.

Compact Form, Strong Compatibility

Designed around Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboard support, the CH170 PLUS WH is an excellent choice for compact builds that still need room to grow. It accommodates high-end graphics cards up to 342 mm in length, so you can pair the case with powerful GPU options for smooth frame rates and fast rendering. For power supply flexibility, the interior supports ATX, SFX, and SFX-L units up to 140 mm, making it easier to choose the right PSU style for your build goals—whether you prefer a standard ATX setup or a more space-efficient SFX/SFX-L configuration.

Cooling Versatility: Fans and Liquid Support

Cooling is a core strength of this chassis. The case supports multiple fan configurations, including up to four 120 mm fans, and also supports a 140 mm fan option. For liquid cooling enthusiasts, it supports radiators including a 240 mm radiator on the side, giving you a straightforward path to a balanced air-and-water cooling strategy. If you prefer air cooling, the case supports CPU air coolers up to 164 mm tall, which helps you build a reliable thermal setup without needing liquid parts.

While the CH170 PLUS WH does not include pre-installed fans, its mesh-panel approach and fan mounting support make it easy to configure airflow the way you want. This is particularly useful if you’re optimizing for quieter operation or higher cooling performance—simply select fans that match your preferred noise/temperature balance and mount them to suit your thermal priorities.

Front I/O for Everyday Convenience

For quick access, the front I/O panel includes USB 3.0, Gen2 Type-C, and audio ports. This makes it convenient to plug in peripherals such as headsets, controllers, external storage, or fast data devices without reaching around the back of the system. Strategically placed dust filters also help keep the interior cleaner over time, reducing dust buildup and supporting more consistent cooling performance—an especially practical benefit for systems used frequently or in environments with higher dust levels.

Build Experience and Practical Tips

The vertical layout and thoughtful internal routing space are designed to support cleaner cable management, which can improve airflow and make maintenance easier. If you’re building a compact workstation, consider planning your component order—GPU length up to 342 mm and PSU length up to 140 mm are key constraints—then choose your cooling configuration (air cooler up to 164 mm or a 240 mm side radiator) to ensure everything fits comfortably. With its compact design, flexible hardware support, and strong cooling options, the DeepCool CH170 PLUS WH is a solid foundation for a stylish, efficient M-ATX/mini-ITX system.
