Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my experience building my first PC.

I bought the HAVN HS420 and planned to use the vertical GPU mount, but I ran into an unexpected compatibility issue. My GPU ended up sitting too close to the display on my ASUS ROG Ryuo IV AIO, so I couldn't use the vertical mount as intended. In the end, I had to switch back and order a separate GPU support bracket instead.

If you're planning a similar build, my advice is to carefully check the clearance between the graphics card and the AIO pump/display before buying or assembling everything. It can save you time, money, and a lot of frustration.

Hopefully this helps someone avoid the same mistake I made.

Hi Folks, I’m happy to join the family and I first of all: wow, this thing is huuuge. Coming from an H510Elite, my eyes have first to adapt to this bulky beauty. However I keep wondering if there are any reliable tests on YT or someone with experience who benchmarked the different constellations. I don’t mind adding the extra 3 fans but I like the look more with only 8.
My system is pretty old besides my 5090FE, there’s a Ryzen 5900x (with AIO cooler) and 64gb ddr4 ram. If the temp difference is about <5°C, I think I’d go with 8 fans. The 9 fan config is also interesting and perhaps the most efficient? I’m just happy to chat with someone about it. Thanks

Finally got my first ever PC built in a HAVN HS 420 VGPU

Specs :

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 GAMING OC 16GB
AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD
Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIFI 7 ATX
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 32GB 6000Mhz CL30
ASUS Rog Strix 1000W Platinum ATX
Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 Pro 420mm
All fans in case are Arctic P14 Pro 140mm

So, I struggle to make a decision on the setup in HS420 VGPU. I’ve been rocking the Phanteks M25 Gen.2 as case fans, for almost 6 months. Combined with the Phanteks Glacier One 420D30 as my AIO.

Now, all of a sudden, I’m confused. I can’t have a stealth build with just turning off the RGB, since the fan blades are "white".

So, Reddit, members of the HAVNGlobal community.
Keep my system as it is, or replace all fans with the Arctic P14 Pro’s, and install my be quiet! Silent Loop 3 420 with some Arctic P14 Pro’s?

Please help me decide….

I had purchased a 5080 Astral as a egpu setup with my Xbox Ally X. Loved it looked great. When I travel it's not in use. I decided on reusing a X870e Crosshair Hero board I had and build my kids their first pc. Connected to a 75" Sony TV.

MB: X870e Crosshair Hero

CPU: 9850X3D

RAM: 32gb Gskill Ripjaw Neo (they are currently running my 64gb royals)

1tb 990pro for OS/Apps

2tb 990pro for games

GPU: 5080 Astral

Seasonic 1000W Vertex PSU

RYUO IV SLC 360 Argb AIO

Extras: Thermaltake Red Contact Frame

Lianli Verticle Mount

CableMod carbon cable replacement.

This case was super easy to build in, hardest part was routing aio wires so that you don't see it over the black motherboard. Kids loving it. Once they learn to use it and in need of one each, I will give this to my son and build my daughters build.

Maybe 6ish years ago I got a pc given to me for free, GTX 1660ti, i5-9400f, and something around 5gbs of RAM. I’ve spent a long time saving and as an adult with financial freedom, it’s finally paid off.

I started building it earlier this year when I saw the HS420 for the first time and it really kicked it off, this case got the ball rolling.

Made some art on blender for the screens, most of the parts I bought were to to keep to the curved corner and smooth edges look the HS420 has got going for it.

Main specs: 5080FE, R7 9850x3d, Corsair Titanium DDR5 2x24 6400mhz cl32, PX277 240hz 1440p OLED.

Using a Lian Li gpu mount and installed perfect with the glass and all ports are accessible.

Hey there, I’m curious if anyone happens to know which fans are used in these “official” HS 420 builds. I think they fit the case really well, would you recommend them?

Hello everyone! I finished my build in an HS420 and just wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations about where to position the support bracket on a large card such as an Asus 5090 Astral.

Also, does my card look like it’s sagging? Here are some photos.
