Formula V’s Air Power G10 is a mid-tower PC case designed around airflow, customization and a distinctive look. It comes with five 120 mm fans, so buyers can build a system without purchasing additional case fans. The review found the case straightforward to work in, but its limited space for a power supply could rule out some models.
The case supports ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, graphics cards up to 420 mm long and top-mounted radiators up to 360 mm. Its key constraint is PSU length: the G10 supports units up to 160 mm, and some power supplies at that size may also be a tight fit because of their cables.
Three pre-installed front fans can swivel up and down, while another fan is fitted at the rear. A fifth fan is included for the bottom of the case. The fans can be daisy-chained, simplifying installation, and the front, top and side panels can be removed without tools. Formula V also provides 3D design files for the front panel, allowing users to create their own panels and fan braces.
The review praised the available room for cable management and the case’s appearance, particularly the white version. That model costs $100, compared with $90 for the Black, Black Rose Gold and Wood options. The white finish is also available from the review’s cited alternatives, which puts pressure on the G10’s value proposition.
In thermal tests using the included fans and a stock AMD CPU cooler, the graphics card reached a maximum of 64.8°C and averaged around 57°C during gaming tests. The processor reached 91°C at its hottest and averaged 81°C. The reviewer attributed the higher CPU temperatures to the stock cooler, while describing the case’s airflow as solid.
The Formula V Air Power G10 is best suited to builders who want a distinctive case with fans already included and whose power supply fits within its size limit. Its design and easy access are strengths, but buyers should check PSU dimensions before purchasing, and the white version costs more than several other color options.
