ASUS today announced the arrival of the A31 Computer Chassis - The A31 is a compact dual panel panoramic chassis offering that easily supports ATX motherboards and supporting high-performance components while allowing for a highly visible aesthetic. The ASUS A31 case readily supports large 360 mm AIO cooling solutions, including those with thicker radiators and thicker fans. It also easily supports large graphics cards like ASUS GeForce RTX 50 series accommodating up to lengths up to 380 mm. For those focusing on a bold, bright and well cooled aesthetic you can support up to 7 120 mm chassis fans, alongside a triple fan 360 mm AIO cooling solution. With an angled base and dual sided tempered glass panels, the ASUS A31 offers an unobstructed view of the main chamber while maintaining structural integrity. Currently, the case is available in two colors: black and white, with both models featuring color-matched interior cables.

The ASUS A31 was built to empower the PCDIY experience, as a case that could be a first step into the world of pc building or a showcase for an experienced builder. The case incorporates design queues such a cable routing channel with hook and loop fasteners for quick and easy cable management. Simplifying front panel connections there is a color matched unified front I/O cable (or FIO cable). These unified FIO cables are also color-matched to the case model, blending in seamlessly into the background instead of adding noticeable contrast.

ASUS silently releases its first AMD B850 motherboard featuring the GC-HPWR connector, allowing it to deliver up to 600 W to a compatible graphics card without needing external cables. The TUF Gaming B850 BTF Wi-Fi W motherboard supports Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 CPUs, including the latest 9950X3D, and offers all the typical features expected from a mid-tier AMD motherboard. On a quick look over main specifications, we can see it uses a 14+2+1 power stage design and an eight-layer PCB, supports DDR5 memory up to 8000 MT/s, PCIe 5.0 x16 with updated Q-Release system, one Gen 5 M.2 slot, ALC1220P audio, and BIOS flashback.

ASUS first created its Back to the Future (BTF) lineup with the intention of moving all motherboard connectors to the back of the PCB. While this makes installation and cable routing a bit more challenging, it results in a much tidier-looking motherboard and a cleaner overall system look without the usual mess of wires. BTF-compatible GPUs help eliminate power cables by replacing the standard 8-pin or 12VHPWR connectors with a metal plug at the end of the PCIe slot. ASUS is now bringing this connector to its more affordable B850 boards, which could help make this rare GPU power solution more common. As a BTF board, it hides all cable connectors on the front—even for GPU power as we said, you'll find the GC-HPWR connector at the end of the PCIe x16 slot, just below the RAM slots. However, you don't have to use this feature—the motherboard works fine with any modern graphics card, whether it relies on the new power option or standard connectors. That said, to achieve a completely cable-free setup, you'll need to pair it with one of ASUS's BTF graphics cards. This currently limits you to the RTX 40-series, as ASUS has yet to release any 50-series BTF cards. The fact that ASUS is adding this new type of connector to midrange motherboards could suggest that it plans to expand the BTF lineup in the future. ASUS didn't reveal pricing or any release date information for the TUF Gaming B850 BTF Wi-Fi W motherboard.

CHIEFTEC introduces the Hunter 3 (GS-03B-OP) and Night Hunter (GS-03B-BLK-OP) gaming cases, both supporting back-connect motherboards (ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero compatible). The CHIEFTEC Hunter 3 improves on the Hunter 2 series, featuring a wider, sturdier chassis measuring 440 x 238 x 450 mm, tempered glass side panel, a perforated steel front panel (with removable dust filter), and improved radiator support. The new internal layout allows up to 360 mm radiators in the front and top, CPU coolers up to 178 mm tall, and graphics cards up to 425 mm long. It comes with four 120 mm A-RGB fans already installed, linked to a hub to sync with the motherboard and control fan speed. The front I/O panel features 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2x USB 3.0, Audio-out (AZALIA / HD-Audio), and Mic-In ports.

CHIEFTEC Night Hunter gaming case is "the black-out, airflow-focused variant of the Hunter 3 gaming case." The main difference being the four preinstalled 140 mm fans (no RGB) versus Hunter 3 120 mm A-RGB. Both cases support Mini ITX, microATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards and plenty of internal drive bays (3x 2.5" and 1x 3.5" / 2x 2.5" and 2x 3.5").Presentation videos follow:

With its modern connection options, space for large pieces of hardware, and room for up to eleven fans, this case is suitable for either gaming, office or multimedia PCs.

In addition to a tempered-glass side panel, the AK3 RGB has a front panel that has been designed to optimally support the airflow inside the case by allowing the easy entry of air from the outside.A total of up to eleven fans have room in the AK3 RGB, four of which are already pre-installed: Three addressable 120 mm RGB PWM fans are located behind the front panel and an identical fan is on the rear panel. Those who prefer water cooling will also be happy with the AK3 RGB, as two radiators with up to 360 mm can be simultaneously operated, if required.

With a front panel that is both low-key and stylish, the AK2 RGB doesn't miss out on good looks and, at the same time, is the perfect PC case for either gaming, office, or multimedia. And with its modern compatibility, space for large pieces of hardware, and room for up to eleven fans, this case offers plenty of potential for performance, whatever the application.

Thanks to its low-key design and its tempered-glass side panel, the AK2 RGB is ideal for putting the focus on the installed hardware inside. Two 120 mm fans are already pre-installed in the AK2 RGB - one fan behind the front panel and one RGB-illuminated PWM fan on the rear panel. Up to eleven fans will find room in the case. Even water-cooling enthusiasts will be happy with the AK2, as two radiators with up to 360 mm can be simultaneously operated, if required.

Details of ASUS' next generation BTF 2.0 (BTF stands for Back to the Future) platform have appeared online, courtesy of Andreas Schilling from HardwareLuxx. The editor posted pictures from an ASUS presentation over at Bluesky that details one major change to the power connector design, which will make the BTF 2.0 graphics cards compatible with non BTF systems. This suggests that ASUS might consider offering more graphics cards with BTF 2.0 support, since they can be used in any system with the proposed changes.

As you may or may not know, the first generation BTF graphics cards ended up with a power connector at the rear, bottom edge of the graphics cards, placed somewhat behind the PCIe gold fingers. The cards also lacked any other power connectors, which made them exclusive for BTF builds. To solve this conundrum, ASUS moved its GC-HPWR PCB power connector up on the PCB, making sure it clears any motherboard components. However, instead of increasing the height of the motherboard BTF 2.0 connector, the company provides a small adapter that plugs in between the motherboard and graphics card, to make its new BTF 2.0 cards compatible with any system.

ASUS extended its line of motherboards at CES 2025, featuring a design that moves power connectors to the back of the board. The company calls this approach "BTF" (Back To Future), aiming to improve cable management in PC builds. The TUF GAMING B850-BTF WIFI and B860-PLUS WIFI models demonstrate this new design, which can deliver up to 600 watts through the motherboard to support modern graphics cards. The boards include Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, PCIe 5.0 support, and multiple M.2 slots for storage devices. In the high-end segment, ASUS presented the ROG Maximus Z890 HERO BTF, compatible with Intel's LGA1851 processors. This board features DDR5 memory support, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and tools like Q-Release for easier graphics card removal.

For professional users, ASUS released the ProArt Z890 CREATOR WIFI, equipped with Thunderbolt 4 ports and specialized cooling systems. The company also showed new gaming-focused models including the ROG Crosshair X870E APEX, for the fastest Ryzen 9000X3D series gaming processors. The motherboards share several technical features across different price points. All models support PCIe 5.0 for graphics cards and storage, while most include Wi-Fi 7 capabilities. ASUS has added tool-free installation mechanisms for M.2 drives across the lineup. ASUS has not yet announced pricing or specific release dates for the new motherboards. The BTF design represents a significant change in motherboard layout, though it will require compatible PC cases and power supplies to function as intended. This marks one of the first major changes to standard motherboard design since the ATX format became common in the 1990s.

With its futuristic look, including the tempered-glass side and front, the AK5G RGB is the ultimate home for high-end hardware which has to be seen. The inside of this ATX case has been spaciously designed and offers room for up to eleven fans or two radiators. In addition, modern input-output connections and support for the new BTF mainboards will all ensure that the case stays future-proof.

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.

When we think of InWin, we think of their Signature PC chassis - an equally long-lived and impressively designed line of exclusive products that have garnered appreciation, establishing InWin among top manufacturers. This year, at Computex 2024, InWin unveils its 11th Signature Series chassis, taking a standard case and making it unique. The main visual highlight is the 180-degree curved glass panel (the largest we've seen on a PC), which blends seamlessly with the aluminium frame into a sleek design.

The chassis is a full tower that can accommodate E-ATX, ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, including support for ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero Series Back-Connector motherboards. It offers 7x PCI-E expansion slots, 2x 2.5" internal drive bays, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2 Type-C port, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and HD audio combo ports. For cooling, it is compatible with 120 mm fans (3 at the front, 1 in the rear), and a water cooling 360 mm x 65 mm radiator could also be fitted in the front. No information regarding exact availability and pricing has been provided at this moment.

We've all had to wrestle with long AIO CPU cooler tubing to find the right position, and still end up with surplus tubing that sticks out in a U-shape, which looks ugly. ASUS ROG has a possible solution to this. The company showed off a concept AIO CPU cooler based on the ROG Ryujin III, which physically shortens the tubing. The radiator-side tubing terminals are located in a central portion, rather than at the edge of the radiator.

This way, you can have the radiator located along the top panel of your case, or even side-facing 3x 120 mm vents, and there would be just enough tubing to reach the radiator from the pump-block (including clearance with the memory modules). The optimal position for this cooler would still be along the top panel, in our opinion. This cooler would fit nicely into the cable-free aesthetic of ASUS BTF builds, where you can have the radiator terminals facing the motherboard tray for better concealment.

At Computex 2024, Wizmax, a manufacturer of computer hardware such as cases, headphones, mice, etc., offered an interesting perspective on the inspiration for its computer cases. Diversifying from the regular sleek panels, Wizmax turned to more traditional art when designing its PC case lineup. Starting with the M60-Moon, the case brings a traditional Korean design pattern on its front bezel, carrying a touch of cultural elegance to modern PC setups. This ATX form factor case supports 410 mm-long GPUs and 160 mm-tall CPU coolers. It also includes room for a 360 mm front water cooler, ensuring adequate airflow and cooling performance.

ZALMAN rolled out the P50 DS, a feature-packed mid-tower case that supports motherboards with reverse-side connectors, from the ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero ecosystems. The case comes in black and white color variants. Its two most striking design aspects are the pillarless front-left corner, which gives you a panoramic view of your build; and a small programmable display that plugs into a USB 2.0 header, and gets the included software to read out temperature or fan-speed monitoring from ACPI. The case features a conventional horizontally partitioned layout.

The upper compartment with the motherboard tray offers room for graphics cards up to 43.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17.8 cm in height. The three 120 mm fan vents along the motherboard tray are recessed, so they don't impede long graphics cards. With three 120 mm fans included and in place, the setup is flush with the rest of the motherboard tray, so adding a typical 360 mm radiator would barely come in the way of a graphics card. The motherboard tray has cutouts positioned for compatibility with ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero motherboards with connectors on the reverse side of the PCB. Besides the three side-facing vents, you get a 140 mm rear exhaust, three and three 120 mm top exhausts. Four 120 mm ARGB-illuminated fans come included with the case. There are two 3.5-inch drive bays in the lower compartment, and a couple of additional 2.5-inch mounts. Front panel connectivity includes a USB3 type-C, two USB 3.2 type-A, and HDA jacks. The case measures 240 mm x 480 mm x 512 mm (WxDxH), weighing 10.5 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.
