InWin Launches F5 Full Tower PC Chassis
In Win Development Inc. (InWin), a leading innovator in PC enthusiast and gaming hardware, has launched its F5 full tower EATX PC chassis for enthusiast PC builders looking for design customization, extensive cooling options, and support for vertical GPUs and hidden cable motherboards. Customizable Front Panel—First showcased at Computex 2023, the InWin F5 features customizable front panel bezels that can easily be popped-off and swapped between glossy or wooden aesthetics, depending on the users preferred style. The F5 is available in both black and white color options with a 3 mm tempered glass side panel that gives great views of the inside hardware, while both side panels offer convenient, tool-less removal. Mesh grills on the front, top, bottom, and opposing side panel provide ample opportunities for ventilation. Helpful design additions include the quick-remove dust filter for the bottom fans, and a bundled magnetic GPU holder to prevent sag of heavier graphics cards.
Extensive Cooling Options
The spacious interior and versatile cooling options are engineered to accommodate high-end hardware including flagship graphics cards up to 435 mm in length, larger CPU heatsinks up to 180 mm in height, and high-performance ATX power supplies up to 230 mm long. Both vertical and horizontal GPU orientations are supported, with a vertical adapter bracket bundled in the package.
Three Premium AN140 Fans Included
InWin bundles the F5 with three premium Neptune AN140/AN140P ARGB fans, providing supreme cooling right out the box. Users can choose to extend the capacity even further with up to nine fan placements. Liquid cooling support is ready for large radiators at the top, bottom, and front. The front panel provides enough space for fans on both sides of the radiator.
Supports Back-Connector Motherboards
The F5's design provides expressed support for ASUS BTF series and MSI Project-Zero ATX motherboards with back-mounted connectors that keep cables hidden, allowing users to build PC's that are almost visually cable-free.

The internal layout is… a tad weird. I thought at first that they were going for a Torrent-ish big air design, but not really? Or, on the second look, I suppose you can run it like that by having bottom and front fans. Open top will compromise the wind tunnel approach a tad though.
I see a few problems. The other side of the top radiator is right against the psu and it's cables, hot air can get trapped there. A push-pull config doesn't seem to work. Maybe forcing 2 pull fans where the psu cables are and move them around somehow.
Why are the fans on top pointless?
The top of the case has mesh just for the fans to pull fresh air and cool a radiator behind them. So they must be used with a rad to make sense.They have a second video on their page -
Although I do sort of like the wood accent part, all that wasted space above the front fans just so some folks can mount a 360 AIO/rad facing outwards at the top seems like a poor design decision to me... I would have preferred to stick with a 240mm AIO/rad up there, but also have a front-facing slot (or 2) for card readers, additional USB ports, or god forbid, an OPTICAL DRIVE, hehehe :D
But IMO, PSU should be on the bottom, where the air is the coolest, and is not exposed to the heat of PC, if it's in the same chamber with main hot components. Which is the case. It's a less of a problem, if PSU has separate room, behind the motherboard tray.
And they've seems to tried to add more free space between the top of the motherboard and the LC radiator. But I still think they'd better to add a solid sheet, with "grommeted" holes for tubing. On the bright side, the PSU in such way isn't prone to liquid splashes and leakages.
