HYTE Y50 RGB Review: Panoramic Flow With Back-Connect Integration: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- Native support for back-connect motherboards including ASUS BTF, GIGABYTE STEALTH, and MSI Project ZERO
- Pre-installed cooling package featuring a 360 mm (14.17 in) unibody reverse-blade fan and a 120 mm (4.72 in) rear exhaust fan
- Unobstructed three-piece panoramic tempered glass enclosure with a floating base profile
- Extensive liquid cooling clearance supporting dual 360 mm (14.17 in) radiators and up to a 410 mm (16.14 in) top radiator
✖ Documented Caveats
- Top radiator mounting thickness is constrained to 46 mm (1.81 in), restricting ultra-thick push-pull radiator installations
- Dual-chamber mid-tower footprint demands substantial desktop surface area compared to conventional single-chamber cases
Lian Li B4-mATX Review: Dual Orientation Flexibility With Massive Clearance: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- Dense 21.3-liter dual-orientation enclosure supporting both horizontal and vertical placement
- Generous clearance for up to 358mm GPUs and 162mm tall CPU air coolers
- Comprehensive ventilation with full mesh panels and two included 120mm slim PWM fans
- Supports up to a 360mm liquid cooling radiator when configured with an SFX power supply
✖ Documented Caveats
- Installing a 360mm radiator mandates an SFX power supply instead of standard ATX
- ATX power supply compatibility is constrained to a maximum depth of 140mm
