GameMax, an emerging brand of PC gaming components including gaming cases and power supply units, introduces the Vista COC gaming chassis featuring a panoramic view with its pillar-less design and the patented GameMax COC technology. The GameMax Vista COC gaming chassis comes with five pre-installed 120 mm ARGB fans along with the COC cooling fan providing a total of six cooling fans offering sufficient cooling to support high-end configurations. The modernized topI/O comes with a USB-C port, Type-A USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, a 3.5 mm audio combo port, a power switch, and an LED switch.

The pillar-less design provides an unobstructed view of the interior - perfect for enthusiasts who love to display their prized gaming PC build. Aside from the ARGB fans, the Vista COC also comes with a side-mounted ARGB strip. The GameMax Vista COC is available in black and white models.



Key Features
  • The visible corner features a pillar-less design creating a 262° interior panoramic view. The front and side tempered glass panels are seamlessly connected for an elegant look.
  • Equipped with GAMEMAX's innovative C.O.C technology for advanced cooling and better overclocking. It features an active cooling fan on the back of the motherboard, delivering additional cooling to the critical components of the motherboard.
  • Comes standard with five 120 mm ARGB fans, featuring infinite loop lighting effects around the axis and a surrounding light strip design. The side-mounted ARGB strip adds an extra touch. The ARGB lighting elements support motherboard ARGB synchronization for easy customization of lighting effects according to personal preference.
  • The front features a three-dimensional geometric design, offering a striking visual impact. It breaks away from the monotony of traditional cases, showcasing a strong sense of modernity and technology.
GameMax C.O.C. Technology
The GameMax Cooling Over-Clocking (C.O.C.) is a pre-installed cooling fan at the backside of the motherboard - designed to improve heat dissipation of the motherboard's critical components from the backside.

With COC enabled, the CPU, PCH, and VRM temperatures are significantly lower. This allows users to achieve higher overclocks and a more stable system.

Pricing and Availability
The GameMax Vista COC gaming chassis is now shipping to partner resellers worldwide. See pricing below.
  • Vista COC - Black: USD $57.90
  • Vista COC - White: USD $59.90

Fans on rear side of CPU socket were quite common in cases from decade back. In general having them pull air out of rear side was much better than pushing air onto socket.
 
Fishy fishy fishy....tanky tanky tanky :) Not a bad fish tank to be honest. Storage seems 2x2.5" and 1x3.5". Aquariums looove that 2.5" format.
 
Looks kinda ok I'd be concerned about bottom fan air intake with the narrow cut out on bottom side panel even if it's both it's still maybe going to struggle when a power supply and cables are sre in there. Guess we will see.
 
One custom fan and five included ARGB fans.

At 57,90

I bet this is going to ooze quality. This reeks strongly of a case that you try because its so cheap and offers so much and then six months later you're replacing it for something decent instead, because its one big noisy mess, I wouldn't be surprised if something starts rattling too.
 
They saw nothing wrong in naming it COC.
 
That's not the worst idea, but a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist (motherboard manufacturers using cheap, under-rated VRMs, that use too few phases that have inadequate or entirely-absent front-side heatsinks).

For higher-end boards this is a waste of effort, but since Gamemax is a budget case brand likely to be used with budget motherboards, it's actually sensible!
 
If I was building a computer, I'd probably get this. After I've seen a review on TPU of course.

You get what you pay for*, and people buying lowest-cost plastic fantastic cases are usually okay with that.

I agree that it's a false economy but these things sell in droves and Gamemax are far from the worst quality of the cheaper cases IME.

* Thermalright appear to be the exception to this rule in the PC industry, I'm just waiting for them to jack up the prices once they've gained marketshare like all the other heatsink and AIO manufacturers.
 
Who buy all those computer cases?

It seems there is lots of margin in computer fans and computer cases.
 
This case needs a TPU review if only because of that back of the mobo fan.
Irrelevant; TPU uses a motherboard for case testing that doesn't have overheating VRMs. A TPU case review would simply show that the non-overheating motherboard still isn't overheating.

What you actually want is a comical Youtuber like Dawid to try and overclock the snot out of a 14900K on a super-cheap motherboard without VRM heatsinks using this case's extra fan as a hilariously awful solution to a self-inflicted, intentionally terrible choice of components.

Or use a fishtank case with the PSU up behind the motherboard and turn it around so the fan is extracting air from the back of the CPU region.
