Enhanced Features
As an updated version of the Kolink Observatory series, the Kolink Observatory Y aRGB has improved features. Thus, this case is user-friendly while maintaining the premium aesthetics. The front panel stands out from the frame thanks to side ventilation and ensures good air circulation in the housing. Three pre-installed Umbra aRGB fans are located behind the front panel and add a colorful accent to the matt black finish. By using high-quality materials, the Kolink Observatory Y aRGB offers good support and stability for all installed hardware. The frame and panel are made of 0.7mm SPCC steel, providing a sturdy structure for the case.
Extensive cooling options
The Kolink Observatory Y aRGB comes with four preinstalled Kolink Umbra PWM aRGB 120mm fans. Three of them are on the front, the last one on the back. Since these are PWM fans, their speed adapts to the workload - higher RPMs are used when the workload is intense, while they need fewer revolutions when not needed for quieter operation. This supports the airflow provided by the ventilation and mesh cover. Alternatively, there are many ways to install fans and radiators throughout the case, making the Kolink Observatory Y aRGB ideal for custom water cooling. The front panel offers space for three 120mm or 140mm fans. Alternatively, the panel can also accommodate 240 mm, 280 mm and 360 mm radiators. On the top there is space for three 120 mm fans, two 140 mm fans or a radiator up to 360 mm in size. The rear panel can house a single 120mm or 140mm fan or radiator, while the PSU case cover has mounts for dual 120mm fans. Thanks to the spacious interior, there is also space for a CPU cooler with a height of up to 175 mm.
hardware flexibility
With its specially designed interior, the Observatory Y aRGB offers incredible flexibility when it comes to the hardware to be installed. The motherboard tray can accommodate all motherboard form factors, including E-ATX, and supports seven expansion slots. This case is compatible with the Kolink Vertical GPU Kit, which allows vertical mounting of graphics cards. With clearance for cards up to 380mm long, this case can accommodate most triple slot GPUs currently available.
In the lower part of the housing, the special PSU cover with a removable panel for easier access. Under the cover there is space for an ATX power supply with a length of up to 190 mm and a drive cage for two 3.5-inch drives. In addition, there are mounts for three 2.5-inch SSDs on the back of the mainboard tray - a really extensive and flexible support for your storage solution.

special features standard SPD.
Crucial deliberately does without a heat spreader in the value memory bars. The PCBs appear in chic black. The big advantage of the non-existing heat spreader is of course the fact that the modules are not in the way even with expansive CPU air coolers. The memory chips are of course from Micron and could be overclocked by 800 MHz in our short test, so that the effective clock frequency has increased to 5,600 MHz.
With just 4,800 MHz on the effective side, Crucial's value modules present themselves with exactly the native DDR5 maximum clock that Intel has specified for the 12th core generation (Alder Lake-S). An XMP in version 3.0 was programmed by Crucial to communicate the parameters specified by the manufacturer to the BIOS/UEFI in a simple manner.
The built-in Micron memory chips allow overclocking of a decent 800 MHz, i.e. up to DDR5-5600.
Positive properties of the Crucial Value DDR5 DIMMs:
good SPD programming including XMP 3.0
low module height for high cooler compatibility
good workmanship
Negative characteristics of the Crucial Value DDR5 DIMMs:

Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 64Bit, pre-installed with all necessary device drivers. Switch on and get started!
The launch of Windows 10 and the associated developments are among the most important market launches in Microsoft's corporate history. Windows 10 not only brings a new version of the operating system onto the market, Windows 10 enables a new platform generation:
"We want to ensure that we offer developers the largest and most vibrant user base for their applications," said Satya Nadella in his opening keynote at BUILD 2015 in San Francisco. Windows 10 is now available in 190 countries and 111 languages.
The browser is really new in Windows 10: Edge replaces Internet Explorer. The new browser doesn't just have the cooler name. It is also much faster. In almost all browser benchmarks, Edge depends on IE 11 from Windows 8.1. It can almost double its pace in Mozilla's Kraken benchmark. It looks the same in Google's Octane 2.0 test. Its pace remains roughly the same in the Sunspider test and the Peacekeeper benchmark. Conclusion: When it comes to the browser speed, Windows 10 with Edge catches up a lot. In Kraken and Octane, Edge overtakes the competition, in the Sunspider he stays ahead. The old conditions are only preserved in the Peacekeeper test.
Windows start
Microsoft already shortened the start times of Windows extremely with Windows 8. If the computer is switched off using "Shut down", it does not switch itself off, but only goes into hibernation - from which it can wake up more quickly. Even with a real Katlstart or restart, Windows 8.1 is slightly slower: However, over time, Windows remembers the files that it needs for the start: The start time is shortened with repeated starts. After ten starts, the two operating systems were almost on par with 20 seconds (Windows 10) and 22 seconds (Windows 8.1).
System performance
Windows is actually getting faster and faster the older it gets: For most components, manufacturers are releasing ever more up-to-date drivers that accelerate the hardware. Windows feels like it is getting slower and slower: This is mostly due to the fact that the autostart folder is filling up with more and more entries, more and more tools are running in the background and more and more programs that are no longer used are littering the memory. The performance tests show hardly any difference between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Sometimes one system is faster, sometimes the other. But all the results are so closely related - with less than three percent difference - that no difference is noticeable in practice. This also applies to tests such as Cinebench R15, which primarily check the processor performance. Even if we repeated the tests several times, nothing changed: When saving and buffering frequently used files, nothing seems to have changed between Windows 8.1 and 10. Conclusion: When it comes to hardware performance, Windows 10 is as fast as Windows 8.1 - or vice versa. So that Windows 10 stays fast, the same rules apply as always with Windows: Install the latest drivers and keep the system clean.
3D performance
Windows 10 comes with the new Direct X12 3D interface. DX12 is designed to allow game programmers to use the capabilities of the GPU more efficiently. Computers with less powerful graphics cards can also benefit from this and display graphically complex games more smoothly. At the moment, the potential of DX12 can only be demonstrated using synthetic benchmarks such as the API overhead test. Conclusion: Windows 10 has the potential to accelerate games on weaker systems thanks to the DX12. But the concrete results will only show games that use DX12. The first should appear at the end of the year.
Windows 10 lays a good foundation: the hardware manufacturers have to use this to tease out a performance plus with improved drivers. Or in the case of Direct X12 game programmers who use the capabilities of the new interface in games.
