2. Key Features

The HAVN HS 420 VGPU case is engineered for optimal performance and user experience. Below are its primary features:

• HAVN Hybrid Structure for Optimal GPU Cooling: Dual-chamber design with balanced airflow and a traditional case size ratio, designed to direct cool air from the bottom intake onto the centrally positioned GPU.
• Carefully Guided Airflow: The angled bottom fan bracket with the well-placed, glass airflow guide keeps cool air on GPU intake.
• Lightning-Fast Riser Cable Included: The VGPU Mount Kit and PCI Express 5.0 X16 riser cable allow you to showcase your hardware without compromising on performance.
• Cooling Power and Compatibility: HS 420 VGPU fits a total of eleven 140mm fans while supporting up to 420mm radiators on its top and right side.
• Heat-Formed UniSheet Glass Panel for Panoramic View: We challenged the limits of production to engineer the smallest possible curve radius and minimize visual distortion, providing the user with a clear and continuous view of the inside of the case.
• Unique SimpliCable Routing System: Uniquely user-friendly SimpliCable routing system and fan hub. Top-to-bottom grooved guides cleanly route your cables for a pristine overall appearance.
• Customization: Customizable space fits combinations of storage, fans, radiators, and portable displays (VESA display mount included).
• Vibration Isolation: All of the fan brackets have flexible rubber pads to isolate the bracket from the chassis and avoid resonance build-up.
