Kolink Umbra Radiant ARGB LED Strips
We’ll start with the vibrant Kolink Umbra Radiant ARGB LED Strips. There are two models available, a single and combo pack. Here is a brief overview of their differences in handy table format.
| Feature | Single | Combo |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Strips | 1 | 2 |
| Strip Length | 1m | 400mm |
| Number of LEDs per Strip | 80 | 32 |
| Connector | 5V 3-pin | 5V 3-pin |
| Wiring Length | 300mm | 300mm |
Common Features
Whether you go for the single or combo pack, the Kolink Umbra Radiant is a flexible and malleable strip that is easy to route through your PC case. Included within the scope of delivery are twelve mounting brackets and 3M double-sided tabs to securely attach these lighting wires in place. There are four 90-degree and 180-degree brackets, with a further four 180-degree flat mounts.
Enhancing compatibility, the Kolink Umbra Radiant ARGB LED Strip utilises a 5V 3-pin header. Connect to an ARGB controller or directly to your motherboard, you have options! Plus, there is 300mm of wiring at either end of the cable, allowing for greater flexibility with placement. Plus, you won’t lose out on any stunning lighting effects!
Kolink Unity Lateral Mid Tower PC Case
Next, we have the Kolink Unity Lateral Mid Tower PC Case. Once again, there are two models in this line, the ARGB and Performance editions. Both models feature a classic black aesthetic with a hinged tempered glass side panel, that affords a spectacular view of the hardware inside. Here’s a breakdown of how they differ.
| Features | ARGB | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Form Factor | Mid Tower | Mid Tower |
| Pre-Installed Fans | 4 x 120mm ARGB fans | 3 x 120mm PWM fans |
| GPU Clearance | 410mm | 410mm |
| Motherboard Support | Up to E-ATX | Up to E-ATX |
| I/O Panel | USB-C and USB 3.1 | USB-C and USB 3.1 |
Common Features
ARGB or Performance, both models of the Kolink Unity Lateral line have been engineered to provide excellent component support and great ventilation. A powerful combination for gaming PCs, indeed!
Thanks to its intelligent interior design, this mid-tower PC case can support up to E-ATX motherboards, with seven expansion slots for PCIe devices. There is 410mm clearance for GPUs, providing ample space for even the chonkiest graphics cards. What’s more, a vertical mounting bracket is included within the scope of delivery, so you can orient your GPU horizontally or vertically. Even better, there is space for an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 whichever way round you opt for. Juicy.
Helping to keep the interior looking clean, there is a dedicated PSU shroud that can hold ATX power supplies up to 200mm long. For storage, there is support for four drives, with two dedicated bays for 2.5” SSDs and another two for 3.5” HDDs. On top of all this, the I/O panel features USB-C and USB 3.1 connectivity, as well as HD audio and a USB 2.0 port.
Cooling
As shown in the table above, the ARGB and Performance models come with different pre-installed fans. They do, however, share the same support for fans and radiators, as well as having clearance for CPU coolers up to 185mm tall. Here is a breakdown of what each panel can hold.
- Front: This has support for up to three 120mm or 140mm fans. Alternatively, you can mount radiators up to 420mm long instead. 120mm fans are pre-installed here, three on the ARGB and two on the Performance.
- Top: Nice and simple, you can install up to three 120mm fans or radiators up to 360mm long here. No pre-installed fans.
- Side: Located in the space next to the motherboard, you can install up to two 120mm fans or up to a 240mm radiator here. Once again, no fans are pre-installed in this position.
- Rear: Here there is space for a singular 120mm fan. This is where the final pre-installed fan is located for both the ARGB and Performance models.
In addition to support for air and water-cooling, the Kolink Unity Lateral has integrated ventilation throughout the chassis. Most notable, is the removable panel that rests behind the front panelling. This features a stunning vertical line design as well as a fine mesh that allows the air to flow freely. Form and function!
Kolink Observatory HF Mid Tower PC Case
Finally, we have the Kolink Observatory HF Mid Tower PC Case. If you’ve been keeping track of the numbers, then you may have worked out there are four models available in this line up. There are the Glass and Mesh editions, which both come in either black or white. Here’s what you need to know about their differences.
| Feature | Glass | Mesh |
|---|---|---|
| Form Factor | Mid Tower | Mid Tower |
| Front Panel | Glass with side ventilation | Mesh |
| GPU Clearance | 330mm | 330mm |
| Motherboard Support | Up to ATX | Up to ATX |
| I/O Panel | USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 | USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 |

Both the Kolink Observatory HF Glass and Mesh feature six pre-installed Kolink Umbra ARGB fans, in a mix of 120mm and 140mm models. There is also ample support through the chassis for alternative fan configurations and radiators, as well as a CPU cooler up to 160mm tall. Here’s what you need to know!
- Front: This panel can hold up to three 120mm or 140mm fans or house radiators up to 360mm long. The three 140mm pre-installed Umbra fans are mounted here.
- Top: Upon the top, you can either install up to two 120mm or 140mm fans. There is no radiator support for this panel, but two of the pre-installed 120mm Umbra fans are positioned here.
- Rear: This panel can support either a 120mm fan or radiator. The last pre-installed Umbra fan is mounted here.
- PSU Shroud: There are mounts for up to two 120mm fans on the PSU shroud to provide dedicated cooling for this chamber. No fans are pre-installed in this position and it does not support radiators.
Naturally, the Kolink Observatory HF Mesh has excellent natural airflow. But don’t discredit the Glass edition just yet, though! There is side ventilation integrated into the front panel design, allowing for ample air to flow freely into the chassis.
