When a French 3D artist, tired of cases that didn’t meet his needs, decided to take matters into his own hands, the result was the Hizaya Corepro II. Designed to accommodate a multi-GPU configuration in optimal conditions, it is also ahead of its time.
Hizaya CorePro II: serving 3D artists
The CorePro II was built based on an observation. Most current cases are unable to easily support a multi-GPU configuration. Generally, to accommodate more than two graphics cards, you need to use custom water cooling. At OCC, we like this type of loop, but we have to admit that installation takes time and requires regular maintenance.
Patrice Louise, founder of Hizaya, wants to offer his colleagues a plug-and-play solution that is easily upgradeable. Today, professional 3D creation requires this type of machine equipped with three or four graphics cards.
Ahead of its time
He therefore developed an imposing case and equipped his product with what he considered to be an essential feature: two separate chambers, one dedicated to the processor and the other to the graphics cards. While this multi-chamber layout (CPU separated from the GPU) is starting to appear in mainstream products, we think Patrice was ahead of his time.
The GPU chamber can accommodate six 120 mm fans and has eighteen PCIe slots. Anti-sag supports are integrated. The creator recommends a four-GPU configuration, but the choice is up to the user depending on the thickness of their cards. To connect the cards, 30 cm risers will be required.
Finally, on the motherboard side, there are no limitations up to the SSI EEB format. A slot for a 360 mm AIO is provided, also designed to optimize efficiency and avoid conflicts with GPU cooling. If necessary, the CorePro II can accommodate two power supplies with no size limitations.
Professional but creative
Patrice emphasizes the professional and functional orientation of his case. However, we must point out the particularly careful design of his creation. Massive (12 kg), the CorePro II manages to maintain an airy look, unlike the cubic monsters usually found in this field.
