VIDA Spire M mATX Gaming Case – Mesh Front, 3 ARGB Fans & Tempered Glass

The VIDA Spire M is a compact Micro-ATX gaming PC case with a mesh airflow front panel, tempered-glass side window and three included 120mm ARGB fans. It is designed for smaller gaming and general-purpose desktop builds while still providing room for a discrete graphics card, tall CPU air cooler, ATX power supply and compatible liquid cooling.

This product is the black VIDA Spire M SPIREM-BLK, with EAN/UPC 5056733100956. It should not be confused with the larger VIDA Spire SPIRE-BLK ATX case.

Key specifications include Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboard support, three 120mm ARGB fans, mini ARGB hub, tempered-glass side panel, mesh front panel, four full-height expansion slots, 305mm maximum GPU length, 180mm maximum CPU-cooler height, top radiator support up to 280mm, one 3.5-inch drive bay, two 2.5-inch drive bays and bottom-mounted ATX PSU support.

Yes. VIDA positions the Spire M as its compact Micro-ATX / mATX gaming case. It is smaller than a conventional full-size ATX gaming tower while still supporting gaming graphics cards, standard ATX power supplies and substantial CPU cooling.

VIDA's current manufacturer specification lists support for Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. These are the motherboard sizes we recommend for this case.

We recommend not using a full-size ATX motherboard in the Spire M. Some third-party distributor databases list ATX support, but VIDA's current manufacturer specification identifies this as the Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX model and it has four full-height expansion slots. If you need full-size ATX support, the larger VIDA Spire ATX case is the safer choice.

Yes. Mini-ITX motherboards are officially supported. A Mini-ITX board will leave more unused space around the motherboard tray than Micro-ATX but can otherwise be used normally with compatible components.

The case measures approximately 360mm deep × 218mm wide × 400mm high including the external fascia and panels. VIDA lists the chassis dimensions without fascia/panels at approximately 330 × 218 × 380mm.

VIDA lists a net case weight of approximately 3.74kg. The relatively compact Micro-ATX dimensions make it easier to position on or under a desk than many larger gaming towers.

The chassis uses an SPCC steel body, ABS front-bezel components, a tempered-glass left side panel and a metal right side panel. The front incorporates mesh ventilation to improve intake airflow.

Yes. The left side uses tempered glass, allowing the motherboard, graphics card, CPU cooler and included ARGB lighting to remain visible. Take care when removing or handling tempered glass and place it on a soft, stable surface.

Yes. The Spire M uses a mesh airflow front panel. Mesh allows the front intake fans to draw outside air more freely than a completely sealed front panel, making the case well suited to airflow-focused compact gaming builds.

Generally yes. A mesh front reduces airflow restriction compared with many solid-front case designs. Actual CPU and GPU temperatures still depend on the fans, component power consumption, cooler design, dust build-up and room temperature, but mesh provides the intake fans with a less restricted airflow path.

The SPIREM-BLK package includes three 120mm ARGB fans. Current product imagery and distributor specifications show two 120mm ARGB fans at the front for intake and one 120mm ARGB fan at the rear.

The normal SPIREM-BLK configuration uses two 120mm ARGB fans at the mesh front and one 120mm ARGB fan at the rear. This gives the case an immediate front-to-rear airflow path straight out of the box.

Yes. The product is supplied with a mini ARGB hub/controller for the included lighting. This simplifies connection of the three supplied ARGB fans compared with connecting every LED cable independently.

Yes. VIDA specifies a 3-pin ARGB motherboard sync connection. With a compatible motherboard 5V 3-pin addressable-RGB header, the fan lighting can be synchronised with supported motherboard RGB software.

For motherboard lighting synchronisation, use a compatible 5V 3-pin ARGB/addressable RGB header. Depending on motherboard brand this may be labelled ARGB, ADD_GEN2, JRAINBOW, D_LED or something similar.

No. A 5V 3-pin ARGB connection should never be connected to a 12V 4-pin RGB header. The voltage and control method are different and incorrect connection can damage the LEDs. Always check your motherboard manual before connecting RGB hardware.

The case includes a mini ARGB controller and product specifications also list an RGB control button, allowing local lighting control without relying entirely on motherboard RGB software. Motherboard synchronisation itself requires a compatible 5V 3-pin ARGB header.

The supplied product specification confirms 120mm ARGB fans and 3-pin ARGB lighting connectivity, but it does not clearly specify the fans as 4-pin PWM speed-controlled models. Do not assume PWM speed control from the ARGB connector alone, because the lighting connection and fan-motor connection are separate functions.

Yes. Standard compatible 120mm fans can be installed in the supported 120mm locations, and the top also supports suitable 140mm fans. Check fan thickness, connector type, ARGB compatibility and motherboard/controller capacity before replacing or adding fans.

Yes. The top supports up to 2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans. Adding top exhaust fans can be useful with hotter CPU/GPU combinations or when you want to increase warm-air extraction from the case.

Yes, in the top position. VIDA specifies support for up to two 140mm top fans. The front and rear included fan locations use 120mm fans.

A sensible configuration is to use the front fans as intake and the rear fan as exhaust. If adding top fans, they are normally configured as exhaust so cooler air enters through the mesh front and warmer air leaves through the rear and top.

A slightly positive or balanced airflow configuration can work well. With two front intake fans and one rear exhaust fan, the standard configuration already favours intake airflow. Adding powerful top exhaust fans may change that balance, so adjust fan speeds if necessary.

Yes. Current product specifications list an anti-dust filter. Keeping mesh and filters clean helps maintain airflow and can reduce dust accumulation on the CPU cooler, graphics card and other internal components.

VIDA specifies a maximum graphics-card length of 305mm / 30.5cm. Measure or check the exact length of your graphics card before purchase rather than relying only on the GPU model name.

Potentially yes, but graphics-card sizes vary significantly between manufacturers. The important limit is 305mm maximum length. Many dual-fan and compact triple-fan cards fall below this figure, while some large premium models exceed it. Always check the exact card dimensions.

Potentially, provided the specific card is no longer than 305mm and its thickness is suitable for the available expansion-slot area. Radeon cards with the same GPU can have very different cooler sizes, so compare the exact board-partner dimensions.

305mm is the manufacturer's published maximum, so a card exactly at the limit leaves little clearance margin. A slightly shorter GPU can make installation, power-cable routing and airflow easier. Also consider GPU height and thickness, not just length.

The case provides four full-height expansion slots, matching its Micro-ATX design. This supports standard graphics cards and compatible PCIe expansion cards within the available slot and clearance limits.

A thick graphics card may fit within the four-slot chassis area, but usable clearance depends on the motherboard's PCIe slot position and the exact GPU thickness. Large multi-slot GPUs can sit close to the PSU shroud in compact mATX cases, which may also affect airflow, so check the complete card dimensions carefully.

No dedicated factory vertical-GPU mounting system or PCIe riser is listed for the Spire M. The chassis is designed around four conventional horizontal expansion slots. An aftermarket conversion should only be attempted if its manufacturer specifically confirms compatibility.

The VIDA Spire M supports CPU air coolers up to 180mm high. This is generous for a compact Micro-ATX case and allows many large tower coolers to fit, provided their exact overall height is within the limit.

Yes. Both 160mm and 165mm coolers are below the official 180mm maximum cooler-height specification. You should still check memory, motherboard VRM and fan clearance for the particular CPU cooler.

Yes. The case supports compatible AIO liquid CPU coolers, with top radiator support up to 280mm and a rear 120mm radiator position.

Yes. A 240mm radiator is officially supported at the top. Check the combined radiator and fan thickness against motherboard VRM heatsinks and tall memory modules before installation.

Yes. VIDA lists top radiator support up to 280mm. A 280mm radiator uses two 140mm fan positions and can provide substantial CPU cooling in a compact mATX build. Verify radiator thickness and motherboard/RAM clearance before purchasing.

No. The maximum officially listed radiator size is 280mm at the top. If you specifically require a 360mm AIO, choose a larger case that explicitly supports a 360mm radiator.

Yes. VIDA officially lists 120mm rear radiator support. Installing a rear radiator would use the position occupied by the included rear 120mm ARGB fan, so that fan would need to be repositioned or removed depending on the cooler configuration.

Front radiator mounting is not listed in VIDA's official radiator specification. The manufacturer specifies top radiators up to 280mm and a rear 120mm radiator, so we recommend using those supported positions rather than assuming front-radiator compatibility.

Yes. The case uses a bottom-mounted standard ATX PSU. This means you can use normal ATX desktop power supplies rather than requiring a smaller SFX unit.

Current distributor specifications list support for an ATX PSU up to approximately 240mm long. A shorter modular PSU can make cable management easier in a compact mATX build, particularly if you also install storage drives in the lower chamber.

No. A power supply is not included. You need to purchase a suitable ATX PSU separately with enough wattage and the correct connectors for your CPU, graphics card and other components.

Yes. Current supplier specifications list a bottom PSU shroud, helping separate the power supply and lower cabling from the main visible component area behind the tempered-glass side panel.

The case provides 1 x 3.5-inch drive bay and 2 x 2.5-inch drive positions. This allows one conventional 3.5-inch hard drive plus up to two 2.5-inch SATA SSDs or compatible 2.5-inch drives.

No 5.25-inch external optical-drive bay is listed. If you need an internal DVD or Blu-ray drive, choose a case that specifically provides a 5.25-inch external bay or use an external USB optical drive.

VIDA's current manufacturer specification lists 1 x USB 3.0 Type-A, 2 x USB 2.0 and HD audio/microphone connectivity, along with the case controls.

No. USB Type-C is not listed on the Spire M front I/O. If front USB-C is an essential requirement, choose a case that explicitly includes a USB-C front-panel connection.

Choose the Spire M for a smaller Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX build. VIDA lists it at approximately 400mm high with four expansion slots, 305mm GPU clearance and an unusually generous 180mm CPU-cooler limit. Choose the larger VIDA Spire when you need full-size ATX motherboard support and seven expansion slots. Always choose based on your motherboard and component dimensions rather than case name alone.

The VIDA Spire M is particularly suitable for budget and mid-range Micro-ATX gaming builds that benefit from a mesh front, three included ARGB fans, tempered glass and support for a tall air cooler or 240/280mm AIO. Choose another case if you need a full-size ATX or E-ATX motherboard, a graphics card longer than 305mm, a 360mm radiator, front USB-C, more than four expansion slots or significantly more storage capacity.
