Enermax Case Supports Both Rear-Connected and Standard Motherboards

Motherboards with rear connectors are all the rage at Computex 2023. Both MSI and Asus have come out with new rear connector boards, but one of Asus’s even featured a special slot to transfer power to the RTX 4070 card without powering it on. Plug the power cable into the visible part of the case.

Cable management is such a hassle that no matter what you do with a standard motherboard and case, the motherboard and GPU power cables block your view of your beautiful RGB motherboard, RAM and cooler. To use a back-connected motherboard, you need a case with proper mounts and holes so that you can route the power cable behind the board in the back of the case (usually hidden).

Enermax’s new Cable Master 20 case is the first chassis to support both standard and rear-facing motherboards. At the company’s Computex suite, we had a chance to see the case first-hand and were impressed with how neatly the cables ran through the back of the sample builds on display.

Looking at the sample builds, I was impressed that there were no cables hanging in visible areas of the PC. The case has his two attractive RGB fans under the mesh front and an LED status panel on the front that shows GPU and CPU temperature and time.
