DEEPCOOL MATREXX 40 Micro-ATX Case

Description

DEEPCOOL MATREXX 40 Micro-ATX Case — compact build, strong airflow, and tempered glass style

The DEEPCOOL MATREXX 40 Micro-ATX case is designed for builders who want a clean, modern chassis without sacrificing cooling performance. Built for Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards, it fits a compact footprint while still offering practical internal space for storage and a flexible fan/radiator layout. The tempered glass side panel lets you showcase your components, while the front and top mesh areas help maintain steady airflow for everyday computing, gaming sessions, and productivity workloads.

Motherboard support and case type

This MATREXX 40 is a MATX case supporting Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboard formats. If you’re upgrading from a smaller chassis or planning a space-efficient workstation, this layout is a good match because it balances compact dimensions with enough expansion room for a typical mid-range build. Compared to larger towers, it generally helps keep desk setups tidy and cable routing more straightforward, while still supporting a full set of essential components.

Storage configuration for SSDs and HDDs

For storage, the MATREXX 40 supports two 2.5-inch drives and two 3.5-inch drives using a removable drive cage. This makes it well-suited for mixed storage setups—pairing a fast SSD for the operating system and frequently used applications with additional HDD capacity for media libraries, backups, or large game collections. With no external 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch bays, the case focuses on internal storage organization rather than optical drive usage, which is ideal for modern builds that rely on digital installs.

Cooling system built around airflow

Cooling performance is a core strength of the MATREXX 40. The case supports up to six 120mm fans or four 140mm fans, giving you multiple ways to tune temperatures based on your component choices and room conditions. The front and top mesh panels are engineered for ventilation, helping move air efficiently through the chassis so heat can be expelled more effectively. For users who run sustained workloads—such as rendering, streaming, or long gaming sessions—this airflow-focused design helps maintain more consistent internal temperatures.

Fan and radiator support for flexible builds

The MATREXX 40 supports liquid cooling configurations as well. Front radiator compatibility includes 120/140/240/280mm, and the top supports 120/140/240/280mm radiators. The rear supports a 120mm radiator. This range allows you to choose between a simpler air-cooling setup or a more immersive liquid-cooling build, depending on your cooling goals and available space. If you prefer quieter operation, a larger radiator can help distribute heat more gently, while air cooling can be a straightforward option for easy maintenance.

Pre-installed cooling and expansion options

A 120mm DC fan is pre-installed at the rear, providing immediate exhaust airflow right out of the box. For additional cooling, the case supports optional front fans (120mm×3 or 140mm×2) and top fans (120mm×2 or 140mm×2). With four expansion slots, the MATREXX 40 supports typical GPU and expansion card configurations for a wide range of builds, from gaming-focused systems to general-purpose productivity rigs.

Ports, connectivity, and practical build experience

On the front I/O, the case provides USB3.0×1, USB2.0×1, and Audio×1, which is convenient for connecting peripherals like headsets, controllers, or external storage without reaching the rear of the system. Cable management is supported with a 20mm clearance, helping you route power and data cables more neatly. A cleaner internal layout can improve airflow and make future upgrades easier, especially when swapping drives or adding additional fans.

Clearance and component fit

The MATREXX 40 supports a maximum CPU cooler height of 165mm, making it compatible with a variety of air coolers for different performance levels. For graphics cards, it supports a maximum VGA length of 320mm, which helps accommodate many mainstream GPUs in Micro-ATX builds. The power supply type is ATX PS2 with a maximum length of 160mm, supporting common ATX power supplies while keeping the build compact and balanced.

Materials, color, and overall dimensions

The case comes in black and uses ABS+SPCC+Tempered Glass materials for a durable yet stylish chassis. Its product dimensions are 400mm×215mm×431mm (L×W×H), with a net weight of 5.2KG and gross weight of 6.4KG. This size and weight profile makes it practical for home setups and easier transport compared to heavier full-size towers, while still providing a modern tempered glass look and strong cooling capability for everyday use.
