Cases, Cooling & PSU

InWin's 11th-generation "signature chassis," the Infinite, is an absolute beast of a unit - weighing 103.6 pounds or 47 kilograms. It looks like a futuristic space station with 180-degree curved glass and a premium aluminum shell - which the company calls "a PC industry-first."

"These two premium materials encompass each other, creating a stunning view of infinite expansion," the description reads. "Experience the pinnacle of innovation where craftsmanship meets artisanal mastery." The inner case is also mechanized so it can stand vertically or tilt up to 45 degrees for easy access to components and to look like something from the distant future.

Going back to the curved glass, at 6mm thick, it's an impressive engineering feat to create a single piece that twists and turns in opposite directions - presenting a one-of-a-kind look that makes the InWin Infinite case stand out from the pack.

Seasonic and Noctua have been cooking behind the scenes, but now they're introducing the new PRIME TX-1600W power supply: a new ultra-quiet beasty 1600W PSU with dual 12V-2x6 power connectors ready for multiple next-generation GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards. Check it out:

The new collaboration between the two companies delivers something truly special for high-end desktop PCs, with Austrian-based Noctua known for its leading cooling technology and uber-quiet fans, with the new PRIME TX-1600W PSU featuring NF-A12x25 fans which have ultra-quiet operation.

1600W of power is a lot, with the new PRIME TX-1600W PSU supporting both ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1, with dual 12V-2x6 power connectors that are ready for multiple high-end GPUs. Noctua says that the new 1600W power supply is designed to work in full passively-cooled mode at below 50% load and under 25C.

Corsair's new LX-R RGB Series of reverse-flow fans might be the perfect option for those putting together an RGB-lit PC gaming rig. Reverse-flow fans are useful for systems with radiator or case intake requirements, and since the Corsair LX-R RGB Series is compatible with the iCUE LINK ecosystem, they can be installed without anything obstructing the light show.

The Corsair LX-R RGB Series fans are available in Black or White and 120mm and 140mm sizes, in packs of two or three, or multi-pack starter kits with an iCUE LINK System Hub. As mentioned in the headline and introduction, these fans are all about that RGB, with each LX-R RGB fan featuring 18 individually addressable RGB LEDs spread across the inner and outer light loop.

The lighting is fully customizable via Corsair's iCUE software, or you can keep it in Time Warp mode, which the company says "creates mesmerizing optical illusions."

ASRock has been cooking up in its power supply department, with the introduction of 19 new PSUs that meet the ATX 3.1 standard and feature PCIe 5.1-ready 12V-2x6 power connectors.

The company has launched new ATX 3.1-ready Taichi, Phantom Gaming, Challenger, and Steel Legend PSUs that all match their respective motherboards and graphics cards. ASRock has certified its new PSUs with Cybenetics standards, with the new Taichi PSUs offered in 1300W up to 1650W models with two native 12V-2x6 power connectors ready for next-gen graphics cards.

The company is using a nice black + green color scheme on the 12V-2x6 power connector, with the pins connecting into your graphics card being green... nice and easy to see, and differentiate between the black that feeds the cable from the PSU to the 12V-2x6 power connector.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, desktop computer cases were all beige and sat flat on a table with a chunky CRT monitor on top. If you grew up during that time and remember inserting a floppy disk or CD into a PC, then the SilverStone FLP01 will look like a fantastic piece of retro hardware from yesteryear. Except that it's not, it's a brand-new PC case set to debut in Q1 2025.

SilverStone previously showcased this case as part of a prebuild April Fools' joke that garnered some attention, one of those jokes that many had hoped was true. Well, the SilverStone FLP01 recently turned up at the company's recent Japan Expo, with media in the region confirming that the beige chassis is set to launch in the area for 19,800 Yen or roughly $130 USD.

This particular beige design, which includes fake 3.5-inch floppy disk cutouts, is based on a popular NEC PC. The SilverStone FLP01's two floppy disk slots cover the optical disc drive and the front I/O array.

GameMax is an emerging PC hardware brand looking to establish itself, and its latest chassis is undoubtedly a looker. The GameMax Infinity Pro, available in black or white, sports a dual-chamber design for improved airflow and thermal performance, which means the PSU has a separate compartment. Here, it sits behind the motherboard.

Three tempered glass panels on the GameMax Infinity Pro showcase your PC's various components, lighting, and overall cleanliness. It also comes equipped with five 120mm PWM ARGB fans and an ARGB controller hub that has its own built-in effects and can sync with motherboard RGB lighting.

PC cases with a full panoramic view are becoming increasingly popular; however, the more you see, the less room there is for a sloppy build or poor cable management. The GameMax Infinity Pro offers concealed tubing for 360mm radiators and is forward-thinking with support for ASUS BTF, GIGABYTE STEALTH, and MSI PROJECT ZERO motherboards.

Cooler Master has just unleashed its new X Mighty Platinum 2000W power supply, which has dual 12V-2x6 power connectors and can handle two of NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards.

The company has made its new X Mighty Platinum 2000W PSU isn't designed for regular gamers, but rather power users that have tons of components inside. We're talking about systems needing huge power for machine learning, AI, workstations, and systems with multiple GPUs.

Cooler Master's new X Mighty Platinum 2000W PSU is fully modular and compatible with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, with modern 12V-2x6 power connectors, ready for RTX 40 series GPUs and NVIDIA's next-gen RTX 50 series GPUs that will be unleashed in 2025.

Phanteks has been cooking with its new power supply family for high-end workstations, introducing the new Revolt 2200: offering up to 2200W of power for dual Intel Xeon CPU + dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards in a single workstation. Check it out:

The company hasn't officially announced its new 2200W power supply just yet, but it looks like the Phanteks Revolt 2200W PSU has been unleashed in China. Phanteks hasn't designed its beasty new 2200W power supply for a regular gaming PC, as it's aimed at the workstation PC market with configurations like dual Intel Xeon CPUs and dual RTX 4090 graphics cards.

Phanteks' new Revolt 2200W PSU meets the ATX 3.1 specifications (its 1600W PSUs are only ATX 3.0 compliant) and feature the new PCIe 5.1 specification for GPU power connectors (12V-2x6). The company includes two native 12V-2x6 power connectors for the GPUs, which means no nasty adapters need to be used.

ASUS has announced its new line-up of Republic of Gamers (ROG) power supplies with the Thor III Series. This includes the ROG Thor 1600 W Titanium III, ROG Thor 1200 W Platinum III, and ROG Thor 1000 W Platinum III.

As premium ROG products, you've got gallium nitride (GaN) MOSFETs that are 30% more efficient than standard MOSFETs, high-performance copper components, a detachable magnetic OLED display, and something called 'GPU-FIRST' voltage sensing with a patented intelligent voltage stabilizer (IVS) cable.

ASUS says this enhances voltage delivery to your GPU by up to 45% for "smooth and consistent gaming." The Voltage Sensing Mode involves connecting a purple-colored patented IVS cable for more stable power. Disconnecting the cable switches things back to "conventional CPU-focused voltage sensing."

The Corsair iCUE LINK 9000D RGB AIRFLOW Super-Tower PC Case is a beast. We first saw it at Computex 2024, where it earned one of our best-in-show awards. This is the PC Case sequel to the popular OBSIDIAN 1000D Super-Tower case, albeit with modern iCUE LINK features and supped-up specs.

Corsair refers to the case's interior as "cavernous," it's not hard to see why. It accommodates 18 x 120mm, 7 x 140mm, or 4 x 200mm fans. Yeah, incredible. To give you more of an idea of the sheer size and build scope of Corsair 9000D RGB AIRFLOW Super Tower, the front and top panels support up to dual 480mm radiators installed side-by-side. And even with all that, there's still room to mount a 240mm radiator on the rear.

Thankfully, Corsair is aware that dealing with this many fans and radiators can quickly become an installation and cable management nightmare - which is why the Corsair InfiniRail mounting system helps to make this process as smooth as possible.
