Hey a suggestion as I like the idea of the smoke test to show off a case's ventilation: Please put in a GPU, whether faux or real, with its own fans running. Because of how big a 3090/4090 is and how restrictive some cases are when it comes to card orientation, I'd have a much better understanding of what a case is capable of when fully loaded.

@@Flipstips Liquid cooled systems even out with Air cooling systems. The difference is slight improvement in Liquid based setups till it reaches saturation point. Then it's just an over glorified and horribly priced Air cooler. Air is easier and faster to determine your cooling limits, also far quieter than 4 fans trying force air through a Radiator. Also, Water based systems need to idle down before turning off due to waters slow dissipation of heat. The best bonus is if something goes wrong it's super easy to change out parts in a Air set up.

note that JayZ is wrong here on this point, a positive airflow is indeed good for DUST reasons, but for TEMP reasons it is BAD. why? because exceeding airflow is gonna vortex inside the case in every corner and etc, all places aside from the main air stream, which will accumulate hot air inside the case (real world comparison: cold winter, people wearing multiple layers of clothing are going into a very warm shop and start sweating, but there is only 1 cashier) to achieve the best temperatures, u have to make intake and exhaust exactly the same (which is nearly impossible, coz meshes and filters reduce intake and u wont know how much exactly), or simply make exhaust stronger than intake, in this case ur exhaust fans will take the air from every spot possible, ensuring constant air refreshing, u dont want hot air to vortex and stay inside the case. and honestly, dust is not a real problem if u have filters, i clean my pc twice a year and every time i barely see any dust, but i personally tested all this stuff for myself 3 years ago using 5 fans with different in-out setups and all those variants with 3 or more exhausts gave me the best temps after playing the same game for 20 mins.

Would be an excellent showcase for people looking at case designs and capabilities for cooling especially with a GPU (real or Faux) in a horizontal and vertical mount as that would be helpful in showing the pros and cons for that configuration in select casses

@creedy5258

5 ай бұрын

Honestly? Not really. Case designs have become quite similar and the temperature variation just isn't that high, especially with the cases you mentioned, which are all using the same base for the internal layout with minor variations between them. It would mainly matter in the situation of vertical mounts, and the cooling capabilities of vertical mounting are usually reliant on clearance between the GPU and side panel. Source: My work builds PC's, we test and benchmark all the cases we use, it really doesn't make a difference, just ensure you have a proper positive pressure air configuration and adequate clearance for parts, spending an extra 50-100 for 2-5 degrees is utterly pointless

Excited to see a build in there. Added this one to the list of cases I'm considering for my build next year

I just bought one of these for my new build a few days ago (in white) and I'm really excited to see how the cooling performance works out. I have high hopes based off the massive airflow at keeping the fans at low RPM for a pretty quiet system at all but full load.

Mine was the Phantom 530 and that was entirely too much case for a mid range 390/4690k build. I gave it to a friend who apparently turned it into a cooler. I bought it for the window and the overall aesthetics. I do miss having a light to brighten up the I/O, though.

I would love to see a fully air-cooled build in this using a noctua or a be quiet CPU cooler. Maybe even go the route of a full black-out no RGB build?

There are posts on web forums and reddit with examples of a fan on the rear, facing the VRM. It dropped their VRM temp 10c to 30c (maybe 40c IIRC). One guy even made his own copper waterblock for that area. Stable voltage ceiling was raised for overclocks, but the lower temp on capacitors, and to a lesser degree, the surrounding components, directly translates to a longer board life. Probobly all depends on the number of Phases, if it has a VRM heatsink, and if you're using a cpu waterblock. Edited : spelling and grammar

This is the case i JUST got. It's being shipped today, so this video comes at the perfect time. Thanks Jay!

I was a little concerned when I shoved a 7900xtx into a Fractal North with the tempered glass panel with the stock fans and only the two top mounted aio 120mm fans for exhaust, but it's performing well thermally. Now I'm really curious what the difference in temp would be if i included a 3rd 120mm for exhaust

Just moved my friends build to this case. cooler master 360 in pushpull required very little to be cut from the lower left radiator fan, screw hole still works. Beautiful builds will come from this case.

Would love to see a build in this case ! Took the H9 Elite, but was hesitating a lot with this H6 for it's size. A version without fan would be also awesome ! Looking forward to see some "custom" front panels for this and the H9 for example, Hey NZXT if you come there, take notes ! Nice vid as always !

Hey Jay! Thanks for another great video. I am looking forward to the build. It would be great to see a mid-grade that offers the best bang for the buck rather than one that is driven by a budget.

I was going to get an o11 mini, but decided on this for a couple of benefits over the mini. One the angled fans finally happened, I've been waiting for this as I believe that this will create a more laminar flow of air directed toward my GPU and CPU. Second the front i/o of the case is perfect for table top, its convenience i know but it mattered to me. second was the fans on the bottom of the gpu as intake, but only con was 140mm holes stock. I only had 120mm but easy mod to drill out the holes for my 120s. I got the non rgb as I had 120mm fans already that i replaced them with.

Bought one yesterday. The airflow is amazing (front fans are a little loud), and the dual chamber makes it AMAZING for cable management. One major advantage that people don't seem to be talking about much, is the overall small desk footprint. My sole requirement was a case able to fit a top mount radiator, but still fit on my desk, which is only 450mm deep (my old Phantex p300 could only fit a 120mm rad).

I did a graphics card and power supply swap in my prebuilt recently. It was the first time I’ve done such extensive work too my PC, and I had to remove the front panel connector to get the power supply cables for the Graphics card out. And it was the exact situation you described when I tried to turn the PC on. Nothing happened because the connector was plugged in, incorrectly. It took a couple of go’s, but I did eventually get the connector plugged in. That was the most stressful part of the swap.

Great smoke demo!

got this case the other day and is really easy to work in an a lot smaller than i thought

I building my first PC and ordered this case. Lucky me this video came out.

I got this case in white a couple of weeks back, temps have never been better, but I did buy and install the extra 140mm and 120mm fans an AIO so that helps when compared to my old build xd

Your french is on point love it! Good video

I have been watching very closely at your build videos, and my Fractal Meshify 2C is the exact example of what you demonstrate here. The front fans are 140, 240 AIO in the top, I do use a rear fan because of the VRM. The drive coolers are never exceeding 45 degrees (under load even) but this is of course because of fan curve adjustments and manual measure points. I am debating on bottom fans.... not 100% sure yet.

Finally a smoke machine, been waiting for this video

Case is amazing, my favorite case so far.

I really wanted to see that smoke test with the rear exhaust fan! This case is pretty close to what I have, but mine has the 3x 120 fans in the normal spot on the front. I also have a 280 AIO in the top, and I cut holes in the bottom for 2 140mm fans to match the top. Sometimes I want to turn the exhaust fan around, or unplug it. I can't decide lol

Best case for air cooling I've used so far is the Fractal Torrent. Since I prefer air cooling over water cooling, I may have to give this one a try in the next build.

9:48 yup I was one off on my first build and was so worried something was wrong till I finally figured that out

I am really enjoying your recent videos.

Built out a H6 as well but be warned if your using a motherboard with heatsinks on the VRM or a large motherboard I/O cover, AIO’s with thick radiators will not fit. 280 MM Arctic will not fit at all, 360mm Arctic needed a corner of one of the three 120mm fans to be cut off. Also noticed the add-on I/O cover screws very tight and rust scale in the holes. Had to replace the screws with typical thumb screw type for the GPU. Other than that great flowing case. On edit: motherboard I used was a ROG Crosshair Hero VIII X570. A 240mm AIO may fit but only if pushed all the way forward. But a 280mm with the 140mm fans is a no go with all sizes even using thin fans still will not fit. The two 140mm fans on the bottom do make a big difference in GPU temps, lowered mine about 10c (EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra).

You're making me want more cases that I don't need. Although I'd get the non-RGB version. I think it says something that I'm more excited for the current state of cases than I am the state of things to put into them.
