Cooler Master has just unveiled its latest chassis, the QUBE 540, a compact and highly adaptable case designed for builders who want both performance and flexibility in their setup.
Despite its relatively small size, the QUBE 540 is ready to house high-end components. It can support motherboards ranging from ITX all the way up to E-ATX (up to 280 mm wide). This means you won’t be limited to tiny boards if you want a powerful machine. The case also handles today’s flagship graphics cards and offers support for liquid-cooling configurations.
For first-time builders, or those who just like a tidy system, the chassis includes thoughtful cable routes and clear guides to help you achieve a clean result, making future upgrades less of a hassle.
Key Features of the QUBE 540
Cooler Master has packed the QUBE 540 with features aimed at customisation and ease of use.
Key Features
- Modular interior and orientation flexibility: You can easily tailor the internal layout and choose to build the system either vertically or horizontally.
- Repositionable I/O panel and movable handles: The I/O panel and handles can be mounted on the top, bottom, left, or right of the case for optimal access based on your setup.
- Compact yet capable: The chassis is a decent 40.64 L in volume, but still supports E-ATX (up to 280 mm), GPUs up to 415 mm, and 360 mm liquid cooling.
- Personalisation with 3D files: Owners can download official and community-developed open-source 3D files to print accessories that match or enhance their rig.
Expanding Personalisation with 3D Printing
One of the most interesting aspects of the QUBE 540 is the level of personalisation offered through 3D printing. Cooler Master is even collaborating with 3D printer company Prusa to make these printable add-ons more accessible, supporting both new and experienced makers who want to customise their system’s look.
What Cooler Master Had to Say
Wei Yang, General Manager for Cooler Master North America, commented on this focus on adaptability, stating:
“People want a case that adapts to their life, not the other way around. With QUBE 540, you can choose a vertical or horizontal system, move elements to optimize airflow and clearance, and personalize with 3D printable accessories. It is a compact case that invites creativity without adding complexity.”
Hardware Support
It’s great to see a case that manages to be relatively small while still supporting larger motherboards and components. The flexibility to change the orientation and move the I/O panel means the QUBE 540 should fit into almost any desk setup. The focus on 3D printable accessories is a brilliant way to encourage user creativity and really make your PC unique. This is a very interesting chassis for anyone who values both performance and a personalised look.
