Performance Airflow on a Budget?! | Noctua Redux Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact | Gaming PC Build

#Fractal #Noctua #FractalDesign - Introducing my latest build featuring the Fractal Meshify 2 Compact combined with the Noctua REDUX lineup!
00:00 - Intro
00:56 - Motherboard Assembly
02:10 - Noctua NH-U12S Redux Assembly
03:38 - Meshify 2 Compact Assembly
06:55 - Noise and Fan Test
07:45 - Cinematic Reveal Sequence
Noctua have been long known for their incredible performance when it comes to moving air, silently. The Redux line-up maintains that high standard we've all grown to love, except making it more affordable for people to enter this community. Sure, a few sacrifices have been made, such as no anti-vibration pads on the case fans, but in real world use, this is a non-issue and the differences under regular load are almost unrecognisable, only those who are long acquainted with Noctua will truly 'feel' the difference.
Combine the Redux line-up with the Fractal Meshify 2 Compact and you find yourself with a relatively small form factor mid tower case, with LOADS of airflow! I'm a big fan of the Meshify series and the Compact is no exception. A pleasure to build inside of, plenty of space for cable management and ultimately a very functional chassis. Well done Fractal!
This build was intended to be aimed at noise conscious gamers, looking to have an introduction to 1080p gaming.

What's your thoughts on the Redux line from Noctua? Have you used them before? Would you consider using them over the traditional brown and beige fans or Chromax? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Also featured in the end cinematic sequence you will find the X= XPRO27IPS Pro Esports 27" IPS 1080p 165Hz gaming monitor! I've recently just received this from my partners at AWD-IT and my initial impressions are amazing! How X= have managed to create a display with so many specs for less than £200 blows my mind!

Just came across this video and I must say that for a channel with just over 2K subscribers, your video production quality far surpasses even some of the biggest tech channels out there. Extremely creative, high quality production and awesome editing. Well done my sir!

What's funny is, in my country the RGB included cases and RGB fans are way cheaper than these cases and fans without one. So we don't have much choice
Thank you for the build inspiration. I'm now planning on to go full Noctua Redux on my system upgrade soon! Thanks again and you just earned a sub!
It is beautiful. Quality of the video production is just insane!
Even the stock fans in Meshify 2 compact are extremely efficient and silent. I built my PC in this case for 2 reasons, fans are silent and there's no RGB. Super stealthy build.

Yeah I agree, there's nothing wrong with the stock Meshify fans at all. I really like them! Switching them out for Noctua in this video was purely for testing a complete Noctua setup, and also the aesthetic through the case! :D

👀 Welcome to the brotherhood, brother! 😀 Stoked you enjoyed the build, thanks for the support of my channel too, really appreciate it!
Underrated video, deserves more views. Love the lighting, you can see all the details.
That first shot of all the fans spinning in the case made me sub sooo fast.... The rest of the video was just the cherry on top, gorgeous picture
You know, what I love the most about your videos is that you manage to make amazing things, while also keeping up with a proper consistency and quality. Where I live, the general market is a pandemonium... and, in this rough times, your videos always manage to put a smile in my face, even if I sometimes get emotional about it too. I'm actually doing a marathon of your videos right now, and it's really helping me with the struggle and disappointment of the local market. Again, this might be a bit more personal compared to other comments, but thanks for the amazing work you do. :')

I bought exactly the same case from Fractal design. And I'll tell you that assembling a system in it is just a pleasure.
This video was simply perfect. How you combined the music through the editing and visuals, is definitely stunning. One quick question, where can I find the songs you use for your videos? I really like 'em! Keep it up!
Im gonna build exacly like this, thank you
I love your build videos. They’re simple , clean and classy . Would you do an aircooled fractal design Nano build next ? Thank you and to more subs to you
wanted to let you know that your videos are super well made and you deserve alot more following my man
I'd love to have that on my desk someday! Nice build! Great work Matt!
Nothing more therapeutic than watching a rig get assembled 😊
awesome content dude. can't wait to see your channel grow! keep it up
Matt! Love the build and video. It inspired me to do a mini-ITX Meshify Nano/Noctua Redux build for me upcoming SFF home office PC. No RGB but plenty of clean aesthetics and quiet performance. Just watched a LTT video that compared the Redux series to Chromax and they're basically on par cooling-wise and same noise-wise until you max them out, then Redux is slightly louder. Great bang for the buck series if you ask me. Thanks again for the inspiration! Subbed.
Well this is the video that made me follow :) absolutely amazing production quality

@Am extremely quiet. The microphone actually made the audio sound louder than it was in person because I had to boost the sensitivity to pick up any sound at all. Below 50% it was essentially inaudible. Above 50% you start to hear it, naturally. But realistically at 50% speed this would be enough to keep all components cool under load (depending on your cpu etc). I’ve used a lot of air coolers over the years and this was one of the most silent at the price point.

You just made me want to build that exact same PC
That intro was diff than others. 10 out of 10.
I would love to see your take on White version of Meshify 2 Compact with Black&White theme (planning to build one myself with Raptor Lake). I love Noctua Fans - been using them in my PC for 10+ years. 6 fans and 0 problems for over a decade. Noctua quality is just another level. I remember when I bought them my friends were like 'you paid this amount of money just for fans?! you could have gone with better gpu or sth'. I just said - I know what I'm doing... now same fans, 0 problems, 0 amount of money spent for replacing fans for a decade and most important - silent and cool PC. Just perfect.
Nice build!

Video production is top notch! I will have to pick up that fan hub! The only critique I have is that to front end usb isn't plugged in. I only bring it up because when I built in this same case I had a heck of a time with where the usb header as in relation to the grommet/hole for it and I was hoping you might have presented a solution. Still though, great video n a beautiful build.
Could you tell me what you did for a fan hub to hide all the fan cables? I love the build and your use of non rgb components.
Bravo bro！
Can someone recommend another brand for extension cables besides Reaper? I'm looking for black and yellow and Reaper seems to be out of them.
I find watching people build computers absolute boring, but I watched this from beginning to end. It was an absolute pleasure watching you build a PC without all the RGB garbage. This is the type of computer that shows that you're professional unlike people with RGB all over their PC's making them look immature and unprofessional.
I have the Noctua 15 cpu cooler and 3 front fans of Noctua but have more sound :/ . Could it be that it’s my gpu making more sound ?
My one CPUcooler fan and rear case noname fan make more noise than my fridge )). Im wondering how much noise will make these setups with 6-8fans after a while
Wow ! Super nice set up. Have to be super quiet and powerful. WHere did you get the support for the VGA ? I mean the piece of metal to have the graphic card straight
What kind of beautiful braided wires that lead into the case are you using?
nice buid, can i ask what software you used in controlling those fans?
In the parts list you didn't include that little vertical support brace for the GPU. Who makes it?
What is the name of the band during the assembly part?
I'm wondering between this box and the h510 flow. Which do you think is better made and like all the better box?
Does the fan at the top draw air in or out?
Hey MATT! What apps do you use for the fan speed regulation? Thanks
Fractal + Noctua
where is the gpu sag bracket from?
Lovet their chassie/case sad that i cant afford a new case for my upcoming build.
Hi, I'm wondering why you didn't choose to use NF-S12B redux fans instead for the chassis fans, as they are quieter and move more air in low resistance situations such as case fans. thanks

what's the app for controlling fan?
