Engineered for Next-Gen Airflow

Meticulously tuned
for airflow.

Every inch of HAF II 500 was considered for maximum airflow. Dual 220mm intake fans, low-resistance front and rear panels, and a GPU air guide make this the best performance case we've ever made.

180mm Exhaust

Rear 180mm fan removes hot air efficiently while maintaining balanced system airflow.

Optimal Rear Panel Design

The large honeycomb pattern allows for maximum exhaust performance without losing structural stability.

MasterRail – Mounting System

Sliding rails support multiple fan and radiator configurations for easier upgrades and custom cooling.

GPU Air Guide

Directs cool air straight to your graphics card for lower temps and better performance.

GPU Support

Integrated support bracket helps prevent GPU sag and keeps your build secure.

Cable Routing

Wide channels, grommets, and tie-down points keep your build clean and airflow unobstructed.

Dual Front 220mm Intake

Two massive 220mm fans pull in a large volume of cool air for extreme thermal performance at controlled noise levels.

Low-Resistance Front Panel

Designed for minimal air resistance while keeping the aggressive styling of the HAF lineage.

How Balance Is Achieved

Massive fans engineered from the blade up.

Every Mighty40 fan starts with the same foundation: dual ball bearings built for long-term durability, and aerodynamically engineered LCP blades that deliver high airflow with a refined acoustic balance. From that shared platform, each fan is tuned for its specific role in the case.

Mighty40 Fan Series

Mighty40 F220

Currently the largest and thickest fan for consumer PC cases. Used as the intake fans in HAF II 500.

Largest, Thickest 220 mm Fan for Consumer PC Cases

  • The 220 mm diameter enables an unprecedented airflow-to-noise ratio
  • Reduces the number of case fans required to maintain positive pressure, lowering overall system noise
  • Delivers unmatched system cooling performance under noise-normalized conditions

Engineered for Typical PC Case Resistance

  • Designed to maximize airflow while accounting for typical PC case resistance
  • Delivers up to 2× the airflow of a SickleFlow 200 at the same noise level under typical case airflow resistance
  • Enables compelling cooling performance in real-world PC builds

Premium Material

  • LCP blades deliver maximum consistency from sample to molded unit, ensuring aerodynamic performance as designed
Mighty40 Fan Series

Mighty40 V180

Currently the largest exhaust fan for consumer PC cases. Used as the exhaust fan in HAF II 500, keeping exhaust airflow balanced with intake and relieving the long-standing exhaust bottleneck in airflow cases.

Thickest 180 mm Fan for Consumer PC Cases

  • Delivers enhanced airflow and static pressure within its size category
  • Delivers outstanding system cooling performance under noise-normalized conditions

Exceptional Case Fan Performance

  • The versatile design maintains a superior airflow-to-noise ratio even in PC case ventilation scenarios
  • Delivers nearly 1.4× the airflow of a SickleFlow 200 at the same noise level under typical case airflow resistance

Premium Material

  • LCP blades deliver maximum consistency from sample to molded unit, ensuring aerodynamic performance as designed
