In Win 805 Case Review

Welcome back to another ExtremeRigs case review.  Today we will be looking at In Win’s gorgeous 805 case.  First off a big thanks to In Win for sending the case.

The 805 is a ATX/eATX mid tower case.  Recently In Win have been doing some really cool things with glass and aluminum and this case continues along that theme.

The box lists some of the critical specs including number of hard drives, expansion slots and fan/radiator support.

Packaging is excellent with plenty of clearance for the box to get damaged before the case itself gets damaged.  We also love that the case is wrapped in a canvas bag:

This is a bit tougher than a simply thin plastic bag that could easily get torn and then the grass would be scratched.  It gives you the impression that what is inside is worth protecting.

All the accessories are included in this ziploc style bag.

Inside you get the instructions, screws and washers, as well as some cable ties and sticky cable clips.  lastly there is a soft cloth for cleaning dirty finger prints off of the glass.  We also found a headphone hanger thrown into the box as well:

This uses a suction cup to attach to the glass sides of the case so you can hang your headphones on the side.

This is the “un-suctioned” position, once the outside is rotated and it locks down it looks more symmetrical.

So now let’s take a look at the case itself and some of the features!

  2. I’m having the same issues with this case, the air flow is absolutely shocking. I had to underclock my i5 4670k from 4.6Ghz down to 4.2Ghz to get acceptable temperatures. I don’t know why In Win didn’t bother putting any airflow under the PSU as all it does is exhaust into the GPU, causing it to run hot also. Also with the HDD bays, they could have designed the case with more clearance underneath the bays so that you could still run 2 fans of the bottom of the case, or atleast even 1 fan with the bays still in. If you want to run 2 fans on the bottom of the case then you must remove the HDD bays, which means you can’t mount any HDDs. I just don’t get it, why bother making a case look so amazing but then skipping out on the design performance wise. I’m thinking I will add ventilation under the PSU then drill holes so that it can be mounted the right way up. But creating ventilation to the front of the case will be hard as I’m not willing to mess around with the glass at all.

    • I have a 4670k @ 4.5 ghz running at 61c after 4 hrs. full load paired with gtx 770. These temps are more than acceptable. also the fan on the psu is exauhst not intake (not blowing anything on on your gpu. I use rear mounted push pull corsair h80i for cpu cooling and titanx reference cooler on gpu. Two 140mm fans mounted in front of case for circulation, no bottom intake fans. granted this is a low power rig, but the case is not as bad as you make out. If your worried about the cost of a few fans to add in, you should not have purchased a 200 dollar case.

    • PSU acts as a second rear exhaust fan, it extracts air out of the case! Corsair CPU water cooler H105 240 mm radiator/fan assembly mounted at front of case sucks air up from large filtered intake at bottom. EVGA water cooled GTX 980Ti Hybrid radiator/fan replaces rear top fan. This configuration keeps everything super cool …

  3. You can put 4 rubber spacers 1/8 between the case and the glass front panel (front panel is held in with 4 screws). That way the front fans will suck in fresh air, its a small gap but a gap none the less. Without that small mod you really need to place atleast 1 fan in the bottom of the case. Also just mod a little so you can mount the bottom fans with the hdd case. Yes i agree its a shame but if you take the extra time you will have a case like no one else!.

  5. Hey, this was a sweet review. I am wondering what parts you used for the cooling system? I am planning on copying your cooling setup. Let me know, thanks.

  6. Awesome review! What are all of the parts you used for the cooling? I want to copy your cooling on my build with the In Win 805.

    • On the 805 I used an EK Supremacy MX cpu block, EK’s 3/8 x 5/8 compression fittings and their clear tube, an EK DDC 140 reservoir pump combo and an EK PE radiator. It’s very similar to this kit: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-l240-1 with the exception that I’m using a 140 res vs a 100 and I’m also using the universal mount to mount the pump to the radiator 🙂

      • If you are only doing a cpu loop then an AIO like the EK predator or Swiftech H220x might be a good choice also for the 805.

        • What did you do for setting up the loop on this build with the kit you used besides the small changes?

      • Last question, where did you get the universal mount for mounting the pump to the radiator?
