HAVN has launched the HS 360 VGPU, a new computer case designed as a more compact alternative to its larger HS 420 model. The product is now available for purchase as a retail hardware unit.
Why it matters
This release expands the availability of boutique cooling-focused enclosures for builders constrained by desk space. It shifts the company's design focus toward reducing footprint without sacrificing the thermal capacity needed for modern, high-performance graphics cards.
The 12.7-kilogram case supports GPUs up to 430mm in length and includes an eight-port PWM fan hub. Internal testing indicates the design reduces GPU temperatures by up to 4 degrees Celsius compared to standard configurations.
The players
HAVN
A hardware manufacturer specializing in performance-oriented computer cases with integrated cooling optimization.
The details
The HS 360 utilizes Magnetic Airflow Dividers to segment the chassis into internal cooling chambers, physically forcing air toward the graphics card. This modular architecture supports back-connect and BTF (Back-To-Future) motherboards, which feature rear-mounted connectors for cleaner cable management. Users can configure the system with up to eleven 120mm fans to optimize airflow within the smaller physical volume.
Timeline
Late 2024: HAVN released the original HS 420 VGPU case.
October 2026: HAVN released the new HS 360 VGPU case.
The Tech Race
This release follows the company's trajectory to shrink its flagship high-airflow chassis design. It positions the firm against competitors prioritizing specialized cooling chambers in the compact mid-tower market.
Builders looking to downsize their existing systems can now move to this smaller chassis while retaining support for large 430mm GPUs. The case is compatible with current back-connect and BTF motherboard standards for simplified cable management.
The takeaway
HAVN is prioritizing internal thermal isolation as a standard for compact case design. Watch for future reviews regarding the case's acoustic performance and ease of installation compared to traditional mid-towers.
