Quiet operation and superior thermal cooling are key factors in case design at Chenbro, and Xpider II delivers an efficient and low noise thermal solution as a result of abundant air flow from ChenbroÂ’s proven innovative thermal solution.

Available with a front-panel mounted fan up to 92mm, and a rear-chassis mounted fan up to 120mm, the Xpider II was built from the ground up to support hassle-free overclocking under the most extreme thermal conditions.
