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 title HAF can boast of belonging to 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 strong appeal of 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 detailed improved HAF XB EVO does not come as a tower chassis. Instead, the motherboard is mounted 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 base, the HAF XB EVO can also serve as a testing platform. Without side panels and the removable top cover, all components are within easy reach, despite being firmly installed. No annoying coverings interfere with work, making access to the CPU, VGA, RAM, etc., easier. Furthermore, all three drive cages in the EVO version are now completely removable if you can and want to do without them.

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.
