Introduction

I would like to thank Arctic for supplying the review sample.


Arctic has a long history in the cooling space, starting with their CPU air coolers and fans decades ago—(Editor's note: who remembers the legendary Freezer 7?)—and have also managed to establish market share in the AIO space by developing popular liquid cooling platforms. This has made the brand stand out in the vast sea of Asetek products, while also being able to perform with the best of them out there. Now, Arctic is pushing into the case market with the Arctic Xtender VG. This is actually not their first foray into enclosures, as there was also the Silentium T Pro line-up in 2007, for example. With the Xtender series, Arctic is not only aiming to provide a chassis that can handle its 420 mm AIO, but also give the user a modern and functional build platform that leverages its expertise in the fan space, by pre-installing retail-grade cooling units.
