Compact Design with High-Airflow Performance

The CH160 features mesh panels on multiple sides to maximise airflow in a small footprint. This design ensures efficient cooling for compact builds while maintaining a sleek, portable profile. The case measures just 200mm wide, 336mm deep, and 283mm high, making it ideal for space-conscious setups.

Full-Sized Air Cooling Support

Unlike many small-form-factor cases, the CH160 can accommodate giant air coolers up to 172mm in height. This capability means builders can use high-performance air cooling solutions typically reserved for larger cases, eliminating the need for compromises on thermal performance.

No Added GPU Latency

The case supports most 3-slot dual-fan GPUs up to 305mm in length. Graphics cards can be installed directly into the motherboard without requiring a riser cable, ensuring there’s no additional latency or signal degradation that riser cables can introduce.

Flexible Power Supply Options

Whether you choose ATX, SFX, or SFX-L power supplies, the CH160 accommodates them all up to 140mm in length. This flexibility allows builders to select the power supply that best fits their performance requirements and budget.

Quality of Life Improvements

The CH160 includes several thoughtful features: removable fan brackets that can support both SSD and HDD drives, three removable dust filters for easy maintenance, a sturdy carrying handle for portability, and front panel connectivity including two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and hybrid audio ports.
