Bringing the "do it yourself" ethos to the case itself, InWin today announced its new AIRFORCE ATX mid-tower and EXPLORER Mini-ITX DIY PC chassis. Following its innovative ultra-light ALICE PC chassis, the new AIRFORCE and EXPLORER are created for DIY enthusiasts to enjoy assembling detailed, modular gaming chassis on their own. Everything clips together effortlessly.


Made from strengthened ABS plastic with tempered glass side panels, choose between a simple Bone White or Justice White that has vibrant mixes of red, blue and yellow that users can assemble the modular 10-piece Mini-ITX chassis. Builders can choose between a ventilated ABS or SECC front panel - both are included in the box and can be easily swapped whenever! Other tool-less features include quick-release side panels and dust filters, in addition to the quick-release front panel.

InWin today announced availability of its upgraded 309 Gaming Edition mid tower ATX PC chassis, which features a unique front panel equipped with 144 addressable LEDs that allow owners to play three classically inspired games using its exclusive gamepad. InWin's innovative, addressable RGB LED front panel is a vivid display that's sure to stand out from the crowd. Using InWin's latest GLOW X software, it allows users to completely customize the LED arrangement in a personal expression, which includes creating animations of up to 40 frames,10 times more than the original 309. There are also eight built-in lighting modes that can be easily changed, while the customization mode provides a simple, intuitive interface. A new internal microphone can also react to sounds and voices with reactionary lighting effects.

Four premium InWin Saturn ASN120 fans are pre-installed in the system, offering a complete package for gamers to jump straight in and build their new PCs. With superb airflow-to-noise ratio and soft ARGB lighting. Users can control the Saturn ASN120 fan speed and lighting via either GLOW X software or motherboard lighting software where available. Each Saturn ASN120 fan provides up to a powerful 77.17CFM of airflow and 3.12 mm/H2O static pressure that's ideal for liquid cooling radiators. At typical speeds, they operate at an extremely quiet 25 dBA. InWin's patented modular connectors allow the fans to daisy-chain for simpler, neater cable management.

EK Water Blocks, or simply EK as the company refers to itself now, had a decent showing at the virtual Computex 2021 event including new AIO CPU coolers, additions to its Fluid Gaming and Fluid Works portfolio, and more water blocks based on current designs and supporting newer hardware, including one we reported on just a few hours ago. These all interested me, but then there was a nearly two hour private conversation followed by a live stream that ended minutes ago which shed more light on future updates and products in its mainstream Quantum DIY liquid cooling lineup.There were renders of the upcoming Velocity² CPU blocks shared before, but seeing them actually manufactured is a whole other thing. Velocity² is the update to EK's popular Velocity CPU blocks, with a complete redesign that evokes more comparisons to monoblocks than other CPU blocks. Taking cues from the flagship EK-Quantum Magnitude, you will see different cooling engines to better cool different CPU sockets. There is also a concealed aesthetic theme here, especially for the acetal top version where you can't see any screws in use, thanks to a patent-pending mounting mechanism from the back- again taking cues from monoblocks. EK says the new system uses "pre-tensioned springs concealed in the water block top, so with just a few turns on the thumb-nuts, the installation is finished". We look forward to checking these out in person when they release in the Sept 2021 timeframe. Read past the break for more from EK!

EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is building on the initial collaboration with the case manufacturer and now offering the D-RGB version of the popular InWin 303 case. The new EK-Classic InWin 303EK D-RGB - Black case features a D-RGB lit distribution plate with an updated design boasting elegant gray accents for a refined look.

The 303 is one of InWin's most popular cases and has been on the market for quite a while now. It is a well-tested, market-proven case with interesting fan and radiator layout options. To top its value, a fully integrated coolant reservoir and pump in the form of a distribution plate are added. The integrated distro plate is fitted with multiple industry-standard G1/4" threaded inlets and outlets, and offers easy tubing installation. The case itself is able to support one CPU, up to two GPUs, and a top-mounted radiator.

InWin today announced its new BR Series AIO CPU Coolers with a built-in CPU block fan blower. The additional CPU block fan blower chills the upper motherboard area (UMA) up to 35 percent more than traditional AIO CPU coolers, ensuring the more powerful CPUs can be cooled and kept stable. The InWin BR24 and BR36 offer 240 mm and 360 mm radiator variants respectively and are bundled with high-performance Luna AL120 ARGB fans specially designed with higher static pressure.

High Performance AIO CPU Cooling
With outstanding AIO performance, the BR Series is tailored for all PC users, especially for those that operate frequently with higher loads, such as gamers, designers and content creators. High-density microchannel fins in the BR Series copper plate efficiently draw heat away from the CPU, minimizing the temperature delta to unlock maximum thermal headroom and overclocking performance. Its internal pump is designed to sit separately from the water block to minimize vibration and noise.

In Win today announced the availability of its premium Saturn Series ASN140 and mainstream Jupiter AJ140, 140 mm case fans. Both series provide an attractive soft-glow ARGB lighting effect through their frosted fan blades, illuminating the insides of the case, while the Saturn series also features rigid stripes around its transparent frame that provides a unique effect as the light refracts through.

The Saturn ASN140 provides up to 93.97CFM of airflow, while the Jupiter AJ140 provides up to 100.45 CFM of airflow. Their wide speed range, 4-pin intelligent PWM control and shock-proof rubber mounting pads means they are ideal for either CPU coolers, liquid cooling radiators or as part of an air-cooled PC. Both series are equipped with sleeve bearings to provide lower noise output and a longer lifespan.

InWin today announced general availability of their 216 PC chassis. This is a somewhat understated design for the company, and one that will look good on either an RGB-heavy system or a more subdued take on PC technology. The front panel features a solid black, brushed aluminium cover that's classic and understated, with a single brushed aluminium side-plate that brings some color to the entire chassis. Air intakes make-up the right side of the front panel, allowing air to be pulled inside the chassis from up to 3x 120 mm fans. The tempered glass side-panel fastens with a magnetic locking mechanism, which means there's no need to tussle with screws when removing the panel to either upgrade hardware, clean up the chassis' innards, or troubleshoot.

The chassis supports anything from Mini-ITX through E-ATX motherboards, features a vertical GPU installation option (especially good if you have that sweet Cyberpunk 2077 limited edition RTX 2080 Ti, but I digress...). CPU cooler height clearance stands at 166 mm, PSU clearance at 220 mm, graphics card length at a maximum 380 mm, and its storage racks feature support for up to 2x 2.5" SSDs and 5x HDDs. The chassis also features 2x USB 3.0 ports, mic-in and audio-out on top of the front panel, and supports up to 1x 360 mm radiator (on the front of the chassis), alongside a 120 fan/radiator on the back of the chassis and 2x 120 mm fans on top. Like most cases these days, the PSU compartment features a shroud to hide away cabling. Sadly, no word on pricing was available at time of writing.
