CFV235

Float in Form. Flow in Function.
The CFV235 is a new kind of PC case featuring the innovative Central Floating Ventilation (CFV) structure. This divides the PSU cabin and main chamber, retooling the open space in between as a cooling advantage by accessing extra ventilation. An optimal combination of a full panoramic view, compact footprint and architecturally-enhanced cooling, the CFV235 empowers airflow beyond ordinary dimensions.

Type

  • Central Floating Ventilation free-floating separation provides a unique visual identity.
  • True floating void adds an extra dimension of airflow across 270° of access.
  • The Aurora RGB lighting strip brings the awe and glory of RGB lighting to the free-floating space.
  • COUGAR Unity 240 single-frame PWM reverse-blade fans are preinstalled on the motherboard side.
  • Accommodates a maximum GPU length of 430mm.
  • Compatible with Reverse Connector / Mini ITX / Micro ATX / ATX / CEB motherboards.
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (20 Gbps) x1, USB 3.0 Type-A x 2, 4 pole headset audio jack for versatile device connectivity.
  • Houses 2 x 3.5” HDD drives and 2+2 2.5” SSD drives (converted from 3.5” drive bays)

True Free-Floating Structural Separation

Conventional design squeezes both the PSU - a prime source of heat - and critical components in the same space, restricting airflow access to only the top, front and rear panels. The Central Floating Ventilation divides the PSU cabin and main chamber with a structural hollow that lets air move with greater freedom and purpose. This free-floating architectural separation also gives the CFV235 series its unique, progressive visual identity.

270° Airflow Access Within Suspended Space

The CFV235 series’ floating space is a fully 3 dimensional, discrete void suspended within the chassis. 270° of spacious, unobstructed airflow intake delivers greater ventilation than enclosed layouts to where it’s most needed.

Pre Installed Reverse Blade Unity ARGB 240 Fans

COUGAR Unity ARGB 240 single-frame PWM reverse-blade fans are preinstalled on the motherboard side, providing precise fan speed control, exceptional cooling, near-silent operation, and stunning RGB lighting straight out of the box.

The Rainbow In Between

The Aurora lighting strip lights up with the integrated space of the Central Floating Ventilation structure from within, highlighting this innovative feature and displaying it as an architectural reinvention. It’s included with the case and attaches magnetically for ease and convenience.

Light. Speed

The CFV235 features an integrated universal fan hub that enables seamless coordination of PWM fan speed and RGB lighting. This allows you to control the RGB lighting without the need for software, or synchronize it with motherboard software.

Dual Magnetic Filtration

Magnetic dust filters at the roof and base of the Central Floating Ventilation structure proactively prevent dust and debris buildup, keeping airflow clean and uninterrupted without disrupting the suspended design.

Just grab the protruding tag and pull: it’s that easy to clean the filter.

Dust filters attach magnetically to protect the separated PSU cabin and main chamber from dust and other particles.

Vertical Spatial Efficiency

The placement of the central floating ventilation channel on a vertical axis avoids expanding the overall width, keeping the footprint tight.

Space Engineering

38mm of clearance behind the motherboard tray improves cable management ,offering more room to route and conceal cables of varying thickness. Five adjustable Velcro straps offer versatile options to secure and tidy your layout.

Architectural Strength

A 1.5mm-thick steel frame reinforces the chassis, preserving structural integrity even with the suspended central ventilation design. The result is a bold, open architecture that stays rigid, reliable, and ready for high-performance builds.

Versatile Compatibility

Compatible with reverse connector motherboards and accommodating GPUs of up to 430mm, the CFV235 is engineered for the gaming rigs of the future. An L–shaped GPU mounting bracket with flexible installation options protects against GPU sag.

Peripheral Vision

The CFV235 is equipped with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C (20 Gbps) x1, USB 3.0 Type-A x 2, 4 pole headset audio jack for versatile device and peripheral connectivity

Cooling Capacity

The CFV235 has a fan capacity of 3x120mm or 3x140mm on the top, 3x120mm on the floor of the main chamber, 2x120mm fans on the motherboard side, and 1x120mm (pre-installed) on the rear. Water cooling support maxes out at 360mm on the top.

Full House

Accommodating 2x3.5” HDD drives and 2+2 2.5” SSD drives (converted from 3.5” drive bays), versatile storage options gives you plenty of room to expand your storage as needed.
