So you want to build a PC but you’re not sure where to start, well you’ve definitely come to the right place. Check out one of my full step by step PC build guides which assume no previous knowledge and are perfect for a first time PC builder. Already know what you’re doing then why not check out one of my shorter PC builds, ranging from high end using the latest parts to budget builds, there is something for everyone.
On the channel you will also find reviews of the latest tech products, PC building how to guides, case reviews and thermal testing videos. Also over the summer you can expect the odd video of me out fishing on my boat.
Please do not use the below email address to ask technical questions (these will not be answered). Please leave your questions in the comments section of the relevant video. This email address is for business inquiries only.

I got one of these, unless it’s an older model of this one’s new and I’m tripping, I’m 2020. It’s still holding up really good. The glass broke when it fell off my desk (I’m dumb). Bought another one and it was insanely cheap so I wasn’t even mad. Nothing else broke and was perfect. Def a sleek design too and I’d recommend to anybody looking for a black case with glass and adequate fan space. Edit: mine had glass. Nonetheless, very similar and still recommend tbh.
Having some issues with Icue link set up. I was using Icue H150i Elite Capellix XT on a ROG Maximus Z790 Formula. Decided to change to an Icue link system. But the new set does not work.
Why does it have white fans on it, especially when it is a black case?
New to messing around with CPU power usage. This MOBO doesn't support overclocking, does that also mean undervolting isn't possible? Thanks.
I picked up a cyberpowerpc from Costco because the display model instantly caught eye and it was this case which looked beautiful. Plus it was a i5 11400F, 4060 GPU, 32 GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe for $899.
Excelente video Man! Thankyou!!❤
Do I need the AIO? Can I use three 120mm top case fans and a phantom spirit cpu cooler? How would those change the build? Could I completely remove the rgb header? I’ve never built a pc before, so I’m not sure. Also do I need a riser if I’m using a micro-ATX board and a 7900xt or xtx? (Will they fit?) thank you!
I have a question regarding the RGB cable from the case itself, I have an Asus Rog Strix B550-A Motherboard which only has one slot where there are 3 pins (5V). If I use it for the cases RGB Plug I can't plug in my case fan RGB which needs the same contact... I am really new to things and didn't see my error in choosing this motherboard... Is it possible to just plug in the Fan RGB in this position instead of the case RGB (since I don't know what it does anyways?) Might be a stupid question but I would be so in need of help.. Does it not work in the end if I don't plug in the cases RGB?
I have two questions: 1. Can I apply thermal paste (X) on CPU as well? or it required to applied on the pump surface? 2. I will fit the cooler directly to the case without the upper 3 fans, is it OK?
Just wanted to say: great video. It made me to check the case. But I fell on the fractal marketing naming issue. Apparently this case has a lot of variations like: lite, compact, compact lite, etc that makes everything so complicated. Can someone explains ?
Any temp difference when using it horizontal?
I do wonder why not one video about this case shows how to connect and route a monitor cable from the GPU.
What case is this in?
I'm so confused. I have 2 SATA cables coming the pump
Is it me or the GPU is sagging on the right side, not very Vertical at all. On the right side is falling...
I was lead to believe that the Aio would be an intake not an exhaust
I was lead to believe that the Aio would be an intake not an exhaust
How do you get the intake panel off???!!?
I'm currently doing a NV5 build and I've watched the video you did with that and now this one. You've helped me figure out a ton of things, I can't thank you enough lol
I've always had issues with heavy coolers hanging off the side of a motherboard. Is there a way to support the CPU cooler from the bottom or alternatively, lay the computer on its side so the motherboard is parallel to ground surface?
this is way better than the manuals Lian Li provided. Thanks!
Built my first PC using the same case. This detailed guide helped me through all the way. Thanks
Tbh this a poor tutorial. Why does he first show attaching the PSU to the case, for only later in the video showing the PSU unattached to plug it into things first?
Your Prensention the best I've ever seen. I'm close to using the same case on a build, and after your Vid I think I will do just fine. Thank you Christopher.
I would be very interessed on this case, but is not on sell on Amazon Spain or in UE. Just selling in US and Philipines, equador... Not easy to get this cae in Europe. :(
My part come in about a week and I keep watching this
Awesome video, very detailed. I got a Question. I have the same AIO, wanted to add Lian Li SL Infinity fans to the AIO, but want the 4pin Pump header connector to connect to the motherboard, does work with buying a Lian Li ARGB Cable??
that arm of yours @19:07 reminded me of Quagmire. Excellent video though.
Can i use matx board (two slots ram) in this case? Like asrock h610m or a520m?
My power button isn’t working?
Next time dont have all the wires in the power supply already, thanks.
RIP Dual Channel
Just 1 intake fan is enough?
10:07 Hi! Can you please make a tutorial on how to adjust fan speed to reduce noise for an optimal performance? I have the same case and also use the 2 front and 1 rear stock fans
I wonder how my ROG 4090 Strix fit in there
Never seen any smart and also stupid design like this... Connecting the GPU though riser is the most discomfort thing I've seen, it can leads GPU to unstable if the riser has any problem, even with smallest AIO pump beautiful position, but not for those fans, hard to detect fan issues with naked-eyes without using any software, hard to replace GPU, bla bla... Suck airflow Not worth my money.
Thank you for your thorough and descriptive explanations
there is no test for aio top exhaust, 3x bottom intake, 3x front intake, 1 rear echaust, horizontal GPU mount?
Plot twist, it was not a budget option 💀
So I have this case, as well as the O11 Dynamic XL. I moved my build from the XL to the Mini, but then went back to the XL because I missed having a giant PC box, lol. Now I'm thinking about going Mini again, and I have it in my storage - though I was thinking this time, I should see how to properly setup my cooling in the MIni. This video helped A TON. Thanks a lot!
Nonsensical to buy this case for liquid cooling.
i bought the case last week and it was with 9 standoffs pre installed in the case and 3 more were in case accessory box
Thank you this will help me out alot I recently bought a Ck560 White myself hehe can't wait for my other parts to come in to start my build
How can I sync all my rgb my motherboard only has 1 argb but the issues is I’m running lian li infinity fans so they have the control hub that uses the weird connector and that connector is in the only argb spot how can I get my gpu and case to all sync
Thanks for the good video. I have a question. I'm currently using Rog Helious (with all 4 stock 140mm fans) and Rog Raujin 360 MK I (with the small display) and stock Noctua fans on it, thinking about changing case (Phanteks NV9 or 7; O11 Evo D XL or NZXT H9 Flow). So question is which one is better for GPU and CPU Temp if any? Thanks.
you forgot to talk about contact frames;
The case is nightmare to wire but aesthetics and temps are worth it for 4090 users.
I bought the case, is it better to have the AIO fan as intake of exhaust?
Very informative to see the noise and thermals with the different fan configurations! Helps a lot with my purchase decision. Two thing I would like to see would be: 2x180mm but closed bottom intake. Could closing the bottom intake prevent any fresh air leaking through the bottom from all the positive air pressure? Also, stress tests with gaming benchmarks - could show more 'real world' temperatures and noise levels (conscious this is an old video and your new methodologies may include this). My case should be arriving in a week or two, hopefully I could test this!.
its good for intel i9-14900KS?
