ADATA tends to save the year's biggest product launches for Computex, but brought a fairly big selection of its latest case, power, and cooling products to the 2025 International CES. Let's begin with power, and the company showed us its new super-compact XPG Pymcore Platinum PSUs. These may look like SFX-L PSUs, but are actually ATX, with a very low depth, and yet full modular cabling. The 120 mm fan cooling the thing is pushed to the very edges of the fan intake. These PSUs meet ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 CEM standards, in fact exceeding them with 235% excursions for 100 µs. As the name suggests, this PSU offers 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency.

The XPG Starfighter case is one of ADATA's first cases built on the Exoskeleton design language, where the outer body of the case is what provides structural support for the case, rather than an inner chassis. The cuboidal case features a chimney design, where air is drawn at the base, and vented from the top, with all the hot components along the way, and the graphics card installed along its height. At the top is a large 160 mm fan that pulls air. The case supports a Mini-ITX motherboard, and an SFX power supply. ADATA says that the case should support the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. The demo build at ADATA's booth featured a Palit RTX 4080 SUPER GamingPro, which is a fairly large card.

Cooler Master at the 2025 International CES showcased its new MasterFrame line of cases designed around interlocking aluminium panels. The idea behind these cases is to give end-users the ability to swap out any of the six panels of the case to vastly alter functionality (eg: to replace a mesh-type front-panel with a glass-type one). The MasterFrame Aluminium 400 is a wide Micro-ATX tower, while the MasterFrame Aluminium 600 is an ATX mid-tower. The cases feature a frosty aluminium look that's very reminiscent of the GeForce TITAN graphics cards from last decade. They also have a very premium build quality, with no panel gaps. Among the panels shown at CES were different kinds of patterned glass, a gunmetal panel, and what looks like a magnesium alloy panel.

ASRock announces a full line-up of Intel B860/H810 motherboards. New product comes in Phantom Gaming Series, the ever popular Steel Legend that comes in white PCB design and the feature filled but budget friendly Pro RS and Pro-A series. ASRock will also debut its first BMD (back mount design) motherboard, the B860M Pro BMD, elegant and stylish cable management is no longer a privilege for the high end.

Designed for Fast and Efficient Computing!
The new ASRock B860 motherboards are designed with 14 power phase for vCore, 2oz PCB and exclusive low-ripple 1000μf 20K black capacitors that guarantee stable and superior performance for the CPU. And on top of that, the B860/B860M Lightning Wi-Fi even comes with the patented Memory OC Shield to give excellent memory overclocking. The boards also geared with ample amount of next gen expansion possibility such as the latest PCI-Express Gen-5 for Graphics card and M.2 SSD, Thunderbolt 4 ports on the rear IO to enable lightning-fast data transfer up to 40 Gbps.

Here are some of the first pictures of ASRock's upcoming Live Mixer series motherboards based on mid-range chipsets from AMD and Intel. The Live Mixer brand of motherboards has a similar positioning in ASRock's product stack as Steel Legend, but with a variation in product design, and a mid-range onboard audio solution that uses audio codecs such as the ALC1200 or ALC4080. There's nothing that particularly stands out in this audio solution (no fancy amp circuits or exotic I/O). The B850 Live Mixer Wi-Fi is an ATX board based on the AMD B850 chipset. This is essentially a re-brand of the popular B650, but with out-of-the-box support for the latest Ryzen 9000 series processors, including the 9000X3D series. The board offers three M.2 NVMe slots, one of which is Gen 5, and the others Gen 4. The WLAN solution is very likely Wi-Fi 6E.

Next up, is the ASRock B860 Live Mixer Wi-Fi. This Socket LGA1851 motherboard is based on Intel's mid-range chipset for its "Arrow Lake" processors, the Intel B860. Much like the previous generation B760, it is expected to lack CPU overclocking support. This board visually looks a lot similar to its AMD B850-based sibling, you could almost confuse the two if you're not looking at the CPU socket. You get three M.2 NVMe slots here, too; one of which is Gen 5, and doesn't eat into the x16 PEG slot. We expect this board to offer Wi-Fi 6E, just like the B850 Live Mixer Wi-Fi. Lastly, there's the B860M Live Mixer Wi-Fi, a Micro-ATX variant of this board, with mostly the same feature-set, it's just that the third M.2 slot is without a heatsink; and the second PCIe slot is physically x8 instead of x16, which shouldn't matter since the slot is likely electrical x4 on both motherboard models. Intel and AMD are expected to debut the B850 and B860 in January.

GameMax, an emerging brand of PC gaming components including gaming cases and power supply units, introduces the new GameMax P31 mid-tower chassis. The GameMax P31 combines durability, advanced cooling, and stylish design. It features two pre-installed 120 mm fans at the front and at the rear, support for additional fans and 240 mm water cooling radiators. The P31 chassis supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards, graphics cards of up to 355 mm in length, and CPU coolers of up to 168 mm in height.

With a sleek RGB front panel, mesh side panels, and efficient I/O including USB 3.0 and Type-C (Gen 2) ports, the GameMax P31 is perfect for gaming and computing needs. The RGB light strip in the front panel can be synchronized with motherboard RGB sync technology. Dust covers on the top, front, and bottom ensure clean and reliable performance.

In Q1 2025, AMD is expected to expand its Ryzen 9000 series "Granite Ridge" desktop processor family with new 65 W processor models, alongside the introduction of the new cost-effective AMD B850 motherboard chipset. The B850 is expected to be a single-chip solution, just like the X870, but makes PCIe Gen 5 optional for the x16 PEG slot. You still get at least one Gen 5 M.2 NVMe slot. USB4 is made optional for this chipset model, too. The B850, hence, is essentially a rebadged B650. CPU and memory overclocking are supported, so you can expect features like "X3D Boost" to carry over from the X870 series motherboards. Videocardz scored clear images of one of the first production AMD B850 chipset motherboards, the GIGABYTE B850M AORUS Elite Ice. This particular variant comes with integrated Wi-Fi 6E, and the "Ice" denotes a white PCB, along with white slots and connectors. You can expect variations of this board with black PCB, and other wireless networking solutions, or lacking one altogether.

The Micro-ATX board appears feature-packed, including an easy ejection lever for the PCIe x16 slot. It draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS power connectors. Expansion slots include what is very likely a Gen 4 PCI-Express x16 slot, a Gen 4 x4 (physical x16) PCIe slot, and the space between them being dominated by an M.2 SSD heatsink that very likely conceals a Gen 5 M.2 slot wired to the CPU, and a Gen 4 M.2 slot that's either wired to the CPU (since there's no discrete USB4 controller), or the FCH. USB connectivity consists of 20 Gbps USB 3.2 for a few type-C ports (including a type-C header), and a combination of 10 Gbps and 5 Gbps USB 3.x ports.

A market research of AMD Socket AM5 motherboards sold in South Korea by Danawa, provide some interesting insights on how gamers approach the platform. This research is confined to Korea, but can be extrapolated to other similar markets. The research studies the chipset model, and form-factor of Socket AM5 motherboards sold in the market. The most interesting finding of the research is that the AMD B650 is by far the most popular chipset for the platform, dwarfing even the entry-level A620 chipset by a factor of 8. A staggering 80% of the Socket AM5 motherboards being sold are based on the B650.

It's important to note here, that this figure does not include the B650E, which is separately shown making up just 2% of the volumes. The B650 (non-E) has nearly all platform features, with motherboards based on the chipset providing at least one Gen 5 M.2 NVMe slot that doesn't eat into the lanes of the x16 PEG slot; and with the current generation of GPUs not featuring the PCIe Gen 5 host interface, customers seem more than happy with the Gen 4 x16 PEG slot provided by B650 motherboards. What's more, you get CPU overclocking and memory overclocking on this mid-range chipset, so it appeals to a very wide demographic. The B650E, on the other hand, provides a Gen 5 x16 PEG slot, and motherboards based on this chipset tend to offer premium I/O features, such as a high-end onboard audio solution, premium wireless networking, among others.

MAXSUN's brand and products might not be well-known in the West, however, in Asia and China they have built a solid reputation over the years. It offers products such as motherboards and graphics cards that strike a good balance between price, performance, and build quality. MAXSUN might lack the capacity to manufacture in large volumes, however some of their products are perfectly capable of performing on par with similar mid-range models from top-tier brands like Gigabyte or ASUS, all at a lower price, making them an option to consider for users on tight budgets.

At this year's Computex, MAXSUN showcased a diverse range of motherboard models in various form factors for both Intel and AMD platforms. Our attention was drawn to four models supporting Intel CPUs: the unique MS-Terminator B760BKB D5, MS-Terminator H770YTX D5 WIFI, the surprisingly beautiful MS-iCraft B760M CROSS, and what seems to be one of the MS-Terminator Next-Gen motherboard for Intel Arrow Lake-S.

Zalman Z10 DS Black is quite the eye-catcher at the 2024 Computex. The HYTE Y70 Touch built a whole new niche of cases that utilized its 5th side (front-left corner edge) to have a touchscreen that spanned the height of the case. The Zalman DS Black takes things up a notch. While it may not be a 5-sided case like the Y70, it uses the front-facing glasshouse to position a 15.6-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio, and 1080p resolution. This display connects to your graphics card, and can be used as a second monitor, ideally dedicated to displaying widgets, gadgets, monitoring tools, or visualizations. Unlike the display in the Y70 Touch, Zalman's display isn't a touchscreen. If you don't need the monitor inside the case, Zalman provides a kit with which the panel can be turned into a regular desktop monitor, and get replaced in the case with a regular mesh intake.

The Z10 DS Black is an ATX mid-tower that measures 474 mm x 220 mm x 488 mm (LxWxH), with clearances for graphics cards up to 39.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17.3 cm in height. The horizontally partitioned case features 8 fan mounts, three 120 mm along the top, two side-facing, two along the bottom, and one at the rear. The Zalman P40 Snow White is a design evolution over the pillarless cases we've come across this year. While most such cases tend to have glass panels along the front and left side, without a pillar between them, the P40 Snow White even does away with the metal top panel, so you have glass on three sides, without pillars where they meet each other. It's just that the top-left corner has a trigonal metal joint for the three panels to align.

ssupd, Lian Li's sister brand, is making an appearance at Computex 2024 with the launch of its newest FANTACY fan series and the XHUTTLE ATX case. The FANTACY fans are ssupd's first foray into the system fan market, and they come packed with a few features. Utilizing a magnetic series connection system, up to seven FANTACY fans can be daisy-chained together, minimizing cable clutter. While seven fans can be connected, SSUPD recommends using a maximum of six for optimal performance. One of the standout features of the FANTACY fans is their double-sided annular halo design. Each fan has two independently controllable LED rings, allowing users to create unique lighting effects on the front and back of the fans. The fans' matte and transparent sides ensure that the lighting effects are visible from all angles.

Jonsbo brought several innovative cases to the 2024 Computex. The N5 is a dream case for those planning to build a graphics rendering farm. The horizontally partitioned cube-shaped case features an airy upper chamber with room for an E-ATX motherboard, which is shown in the example build to have four lateral-blower graphics cards; while the lower compartment has room for as many as twelve 3.5-inch drives, enough to store all your lossless assets. You can install graphics cards up to 35 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16 cm in height. The lower front panel is detachable without tools, so you can access the HDDs.

The T6 is an SFF case fit for Mini-ITX and Mini-DTX builds. It measures 185 mm x 223 mm x 332 mm (WxDxH), and comes with a detachable wood handle. A portion of the front panel is finished in a matching tone of wood. There's room inside for graphics cards up to 21.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16 cm in height. Drive bays include two 2.5-inch mounts. The C6-ITX is a slightly expanded variation on the same theme, except with more clearances. The case measures 202 mm x 266 mm x 295 mm, with room for graphics cards up to 25.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17 cm in height. It comes with a Nylon strap handle.

PCCooler may seem like a new brand, but is at least 13 years old in the market now, with its claim to fame being the air+liquid CPU cooler from 2011. The company brought plenty of gear to its 2024 Computex booth. There are at least four PSU series, mostly covering mainstream, mid-range, and the performance segments of the market. The KF series is at the entry-level, and features fixed cabling, along with 80 Plus (baseline) efficiency. This sticks to the older ATX 2.53 standard. The YK series is the company's most affordable PSU series to meet ATX 3.1 and PCIe Gen 5.1 specs. You get fixed cabling here, too, including a fixed 12V-2x6 on some of the higher wattage models (750 W and above); but with 80 Plus Bronze efficiency. The YN series is a notch above, with capacities of up to 1000 W, ATX 3.1 + PCIe Gen 5.1, Cybenetics Gold switching efficiency, and Cybenetics A- acoustics. The YS series is on the top, with wattages going up to 1200 W. Both the YN and YS include a 600 W-rated 12V-2x6 connector.

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.

Sharkoon brought an impressive set of PC cases to the 2024 Computex. We begin our tour with the most eye-catching of them all, the Rebel C70 RGB. This case has some real wood embellishments along its front-panel, which gives it a very Scandinavian look. The four included RGB fans put out a warm tone out of the box to add to this look. There are two variants, one with a tempered glass side-panel, the other solid-metal. There are a total of 11 fan mounts, and you can install up to three large radiators. A detachable mounting frame helps with radiator installation. Some other neat touches include a graphics card reinforcement brace.

The Elite Shark CA500 is a beautiful ATX mid-tower with a pillarless front-left corner, with the front- and left side glass panels being a single continuous panel that curves around the edge, rather than two panels meeting at the edge, causing a seam to form. Although a proper mid-tower with glass panels extending to the entire height of the case, and over 16 cm clearance for CPU coolers, this is a "slender" case, with no vertical expansion slots. There's also the Elite Shark CM100, a compacted Micro-ATX version of the CA500, with the same essential design, including the seamless pillarless edge. Both these cases support backside connector motherboards such as the ASUS BTF. The AK5 RGB is a bolt mid-tower case with glass panels making up the front- and left panels, but this isn't pillarless. The front fans breathe through intakes along the trapezoid structure. The case comes in black and white colors, with a contemporary layout.

ENERMAX unveiled a couple of new PC cases at the Computex 2024 show, including the Air240 mid-tower case, the Pano270 and the Pano D58. The new cases feature enhanced cooling performance, modular internal structure for easier installation and cable management, as well as support for motherboards with back connectors.

The new ENERMAX Air240 is a mid-tower case supporting up to ATX motherboards, and featuring standard three-side mesh panel design, which should enhance overall cooling performance, according to ENERMAX. The Air240 is pretty much a standard PC case, but it does have a unique feature which allows the PSU compartment baffle to be redirected in order to provide more airflow to the graphics card. The new ENERMAX Pano270 and Pano D58 PC cases certainly attracted a lot of attention as these are following the current design trend with a 270-degree curved glass panel, which provides a panoramic view of key hardware. The Pano270 supports motherboards with backside connectors, and while it is a smaller case that supports up to a Micro-ATX motherboards, it still supports up to 360 mm AIO coolers and up to nine fans. It also has 37 mm of cable management space, and can support up to 170 mm tall CPU air coolers. The Pano D58 is a slightly different and bigger counterpart and while it has the same panoramic glass, it isn't a curved one. Of course, since it is bigger, it supports ATX motherboards, up to 360 mm AIO coolers on the side and top, and up to nine fans. It supports up to 250 mm long PSUs, up to 420 mm long GPUs, and up to 180 mm tall CPU coolers. All three CPU cases should be available soon.

While Silverstone's Computex 2024 booth is dominated with a new line of cases for AI workstations and servers, they also had several new white-themed gaming PC cases. These include the FARA 515XR, FARA 514X, SETA H2, and SETA H2M. The FARA 515XR is a mid-tower case for conventional-sized ATX setups, without the side-facing fan vents. Your radiator mounting options include a 360 mm (or smaller) radiator along the front panel, and a 280 mm (or smaller) along the top panel. You get four 120 mm RGB LED illuminated fans with the case. Clearances include graphics cards up to 36 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16.4 cm in height. The FARA 515X is a variation to this case, with 20 mm additional width, and the flat front panel making way for a trapezoid one, which has fine perforations.

Next up, is the SETA H2M, a Micro-ATX variant of the SETA H2, which retains wide proportions of the original, so you could give it CPU coolers as tall as 180 mm, and a 120 mm rear fan. With the right floor planning, you can get a 360 mm radiator mounted along its front mesh intake that resembles the trapezoid intake of the FARA 515X; besides an additional 280 mm radiator along its top exhaust. The SETA H2 is its larger sibling with not just similar width and clearances, but also room for up to six 3.5-inch drive caddies that can be individually detached. So this case should favor those with lots of local storage.

Inside the G.Skill booth at Computex 2024, we spotted three new case models. The first case that draws attention is a prototype/concept, named Project Alpha it comes with unique shapes and ATX/BTX form factor conversion on the fly. The next two cases are Mid-towers, G351 and M5 Vision respectively, both supporting EATX, ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX motherboards and featuring large glass panels with a note about G351 wooden front connectors panel that make it look more stylish.

Alongside full support for water cooling systems (360 / 260 / 240 / 140 / 120), you can fit 9 fans on G.Skill G351 and a whooping 11 fans on M5 Vision. We cannot say for sure when and if the Project Alpha concept case will be available, the other two should arrive in stores later this year.More pictures follow.

AeroCool today introduced the Viewport Mini, a pillarless Micro-ATX tower case, which features the latest design trend, of letting go of the front-left corner pillar for the front- and left panels to seamlessly blend, providing a better view of the hardware inside. The case comes in two variants based on color—black and white, both include a trio of 120 mm fans with ARGB lighting, preinstalled along the rear- and side exhausts. The case features a horizontally partitioned layout, with the glasshouse only covering the top compartment with the motherboard tray.

The AeroCool Viewport Mini seats Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboards, with room for graphics cards up to 35.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16.5 cm in height.
