HAVN’s HS 360 VGPU uses magnetic glass airflow guides to improve GPU cooling, but its storage mounts frustrate and CPU temps need attention.
The reviewer unboxes HAVN’s HS 360 and HS 360 VGPU, praising the premium feel, secure curved-glass panels, rubber-isolated brackets, and magnetic glass dividers designed to direct cool air to the GPU and prevent hot-air recirculation. The VGPU edition adds an angled bottom fan bracket, vertical GPU mount, and riser cable, but installation is more involved than a typical midtower. Several details draw criticism: rotating the motherboard tray for BTF boards requires tedious grommet removal, SSD mounting is needlessly complex, and some screws and rear-panel clearances are awkward. Thermal tests normalized to 40 dB show strong VGPU gaming performance, while removing the divider raises GPU temperatures by a few degrees. The airflow setup can leave the CPU hot, so reversing the rear fan or adding side intake helps balance cooling. The reviewer calls the VGPU premium too steep and sees airflow chambering as promising, while wishing future designs prioritized CPU cooling more.
