Chieftec brought an impressive lineup of SFF gaming PC cases, power supplies, and AIO liquid CPU coolers to Computex 2024. We begin our booth tour with the Visio, a cube-shaped ATX case with a pillarless front-left corner. The case is wide, and vertically partitioned, so you orient the PSU sideways. Since the right-side compartment has ample Z-clearance, the case should be a boon for those planning builds with backside connectivity (ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, GIGABYTE AORUS Stealth, etc). It supports up to three radiators, with a large 360 mm along the top and bottom; 240 mm along the side, and 140 mm along the rear. The motherboard tray offers 41 cm clearance for graphics cards. The Visio Air is essentially the same case, but with a mesh intake along the front panel, instead of glass, there's no pillarless edge with this one.
The Pro Cube 2 is a Micro-ATX cube-shaped case with its motherboard tray oriented along the plane of the base. Its front panel is dominated by a large 200 mm fan, with its vent giving the case the appearance of a subwoofer. Inside, there's room for graphics cards up to 32 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16 in height. It's not just the front, a 200 mm fan is also strategically located along the top panel, providing exhaust ventilation. The case folds open along the front- and top panels, like a truck's hood. The Apex Snow is a conventional mid-tower with a large trapezoid front mesh intake with preinstalled RGB LED fans. and a horizontally partitioned internal layout. There's room for motherboards as large as EATX, graphics cards up to 40 cm in length, and large radiator mounts that include 420 mm x 140 mm along the front, 360 mm or 280 mm along the top; and a 140 mm rear. Four ARGB fans are included.
The Chieftec Pro Mini is a mid-tower case targeting creative professionals, it comes with sound dampening material along its body panels. It has a similar trapezoid front panel to the Apex, but with discreet edge-facing vents. You can mount a 280 mm radiator along the front- and top panels, and a 120 mm along the rear. There's up to 35 cm of clearance for graphics cards. A 120 mm fan comes preinstalled.
Switching gears to cooling, and we're shown the Iceberg line of AIO liquid CPU coolers. The pump-block design is minimalist by today's standards, and has a Chieftec logo located in an infinite mirror chamber. This top plate can be rotated to get the logo to orient just right. Besides RGB LED lighting in the pump-block, the included 120 mm fans with the Iceberg comes with RGB illumination. Radiator sizes include 360 mm x 120 mm, and 240 mm x 120 mm. Don't want the lighting? There's also the Iceberg Dark series, which lacks lighting in the pump-block, and comes with black fans.
There were also a couple of modern PSU models shown by Chieftec. The Atmos is a standard ATX PSU that comes in 750 W and 850 W, meets ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specs, and includes a 12V-2x6 power connector. It offers full modular cabling. Under the hood is a single +12 V rail design, 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency, and DC-to-DC switching to the 5 V and 3.3 V domains. The Vita series are a line of mainstream PSUs with fixed cabling, that offer 80 Plus Bronze efficiency, and come in 850 W and 750 W models.
