Cooler Master Haf Xb Evo

You can't choose your relatives, as the saying goes. However, not all family ties have to be embarrassing. The HAF series from case specialist Cooler Master is one such family that you can be proud of. On the contrary! Those fortunate enough to bear the HAF title can boast of being part of one of the most popular and sought-after case series in the world.

HAF stands for High-Air-Flow, which clarifies the fundamental design goal: a high airflow for maximum cooling performance. This also explains the high fascination with the HAF series, as it provides the best conditions to accommodate very powerful hardware configurations. That's the family tree.

In contrast to its counterparts, the detail-enhanced HAF XB EVO does not come as a tower chassis. Instead, the motherboard is installed horizontally, with drives and power supply located underneath. A straightforward and thus more efficient airflow moves from the front through the case to the rear exit.

In addition to focusing on providing enthusiastic gamers and PC lovers with a new foundation, the HAF XB EVO can also serve as a testing platform. Without side panels and the removable case top, all components are easily accessible despite being firmly installed. No annoying coverings hinder work and facilitate access to the CPU, VGA, RAM, and more. Furthermore, all three drive cages in the EVO version are now completely removable if you can and want to do without them.

Interesting for tinkerers, modders, and extreme overclockers: The horizontal mounting of the CPU allows for alternative cooling solutions for overclocking. For example, subzero cooling devices such as liquid nitrogen or dry ice cooling are possible.
