Overview
Cooler Master's Q300L V1 is a compact Micro-ATX case with a transparent side panel and clearance for a 360mm graphics card or a 240mm liquid cooler, built around airflow rather than a silent room.
Perforated panels on multiple sides paired with magnetic dust filters are the case's main design bet, moving air through up to 5 fans and a 240mm radiator rather than sealing the build in. A modular I/O panel can be repositioned to the front, top or bottom of either side, which matters more in a compact case where cable routing and desk placement are tighter.
- Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX case with edge-to-edge transparent panel
- GPU clearance up to 360mm, PSU up to 160mm
- 240mm liquid cooling support across up to 5 fans
- Modular I/O panel: front, top or bottom placement
Who it's for
It fits builders working with Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboards who still want room for a full-size GPU or AIO cooler in a small footprint. It is not the right shell for a full ATX build or for anyone prioritizing a quiet, sealed case over airflow.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fits GPUs up to 360mm in a compact case
- Supports a 240mm AIO with 5 fans
- Modular I/O panel moves to 3 positions
- Magnetic dust filters and transparent side panel
- Perforated shell trades quiet running for airflow
- PSU length limited to 160mm
- CPU cooler height capped at 159mm
Performance notes
The clearance numbers set the ceiling on what fits: a 159mm tall CPU cooler, a 360mm graphics card and a 160mm power supply, which covers most mainstream builds inside a Micro-ATX footprint. The perforated shell and magnetic filters trade some noise dampening for the airflow needed to keep a 240mm AIO and multiple fans running cool.
