With the TG5 Pro RGB, Sharkoon have updated one of their classics; the popular TG5 RGB. While the impressive looks of the illuminated front panel have been taken from its predecessor, the casing has been furnished with the control and installation options featured in their most recent models. The side panel, puts the installed hardware into focus, while the cables, power supply and data drives are inconspicuously concealed. Impressive light effects as well as improved airflow are provided by the four pre-installed, addressable 120 mm RGB LED fans. The detachable fan tray for the front three fans also enables the easy installation of a water-cooling system.
Three 120 mm addressable RGB fans illuminate nearly the whole surface of the front panel and lend the TG5 Pro RGB an incomparable look of radiance. Another fan is pre-installed on the rear panel, casting light into the interior of the case. The LEDs can be precisely controlled and illuminated as desired via the software of compatible mainboards which have a pinout of 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G. If the mainboard does not have this connection, there is still a range of twenty lighting effects which can be operated with a manual control. Using a button above the front of the case, these lighting effects can be conveniently selected.
The TG5 Pro RGB is designed for enhanced accessibility and easy installation. The side and front panels can be quickly and easily removed, allowing uncomplicated mounting of the components. Constant airflow is provided by the four 120 mm fans. Three of these are placed partly within the main casing and directly behind the front panel, ensuring a maximum intake of air. Using the detachable fan tray, the case provides enough space for a radiator with a length of up to 360 mm.
Beauty is more than just skin deep. Therefore, the inside of the case is almost completely viewable. While the glass front panel lets the illuminated fans shine through, the tempered glass side panel presents a view of the installed hardware. So that nothing spoils the good looks, there are no screws visible on the side panel. The panel is simply rested on the side frame and is then attached via two screws at the back the case.
High-performance hardware will find enough room inside the TG5 Pro RGB. Graphics cards with 40 cm length, CPU coolers with a height of up to 16.7 cm and power supplies with a maximum length of 20.5 cm will all be comfortably accommodated within the case. Data storage drives of different sizes will also easily fit in. For three 3.5″ HDDs or four 2.5″ SSDs there is more than enough room.
To draw attention to the most important components, any distractions inside the TG5 Pro RGB are have been banished from sight. The power supply and the HDDs and SSDs are easily concealed in the power supply tunnel and behind the mainboard tray. The cabling disappears through the easily accessible cable pass-throughs, ensuring a tidy appearance every time.
