Yeah i bought this case as a budget option years ago and upgraded mty hardware, and looking at the case, i think i need a new case. The airflow is terrible, i did some testing and with the side panel off i get 10-12 degrees celcius cooler performance which means this case with the panel on is just choking itself. Some front case fans should perhaps work, but 1 there is little to no room and 2 i really wonder where they are going to take their air from. Maybe remove the front LED panel, buy a mesh and call it a day, but idk.
What if I drill some holes in the acrylic side panel, would it help airflow Got rx 6600 xt and ryzen CPU in this case, worried they'll get hot and fail before their time
are SP Fans better for the vents on the top of the PSU and HDD shroud? I'm quiet new to pc building and this is my current case. I plan to buy an 240 AiO to be installed on the front. And the vent on the top of the case is quiet tight. The 120mm fans could not fit well because of the CPU cable connected at the top part. My Motherboard is MSI B450M Mortar Titanium.
Great question! I would personally use SP fans entirely on this case. Anything over 50 cfm would be ideal especially using a AIO. ID-Cooling to some great cheap SP fans XF-12025’s also I did struggle with some fans at the top and rear mounts as some are thicker than others. Also the same said fans are on the ID-Cooling ZoomflowX AIO cooler, so you could bye that and a pack of 3 fans and your sorted! However there is a very good airflow case for under £35 if your in the UK from Kazza on amazon. Please let me know if this works.
I don't know if that RGB power cable is called SATA but can I only connect the RGB power cable and not the 3-pin while being able to control the modes?
Not the best! But if you use a fan with better SP (static pressure) (the CFM Number, the higher the better*) then it will be just fine. Maybe a Noctua N12?
@@madcatz3d let me just say this case airflow isnt that great cable managment too ill say this its a perfect case when on a budget but if u have a little more invest in a better case 9/10 rating the build turned fine too
I know this video is really old but this is the case I have and was wondering if I kept the cpu and it has the stock fans from intel and such I have a i7-7700k and rx-580 but they cheaped out on everything else and was wondering could I upgrade all of that in this case?
You can maybe go as high as a RTX 2070! But may I suggest you buy a High Static Fan like a Noctua D12 for the front bottom to really such in as much air as possible? Maybe if you can afford it? One for the back too? They are whisper quiet but move so much air the system will stay really nice and cool but look great! If you want RGB on the rear fan you can opt for a Halo Fan cover to give it bling! There are other cheaper alternatives if you would like me to compile a list of good airflow fans for you
@@JezyYT I was gonna get another computer and might be getting a 2080ti, 3700x was gonna get the new 3000 cards but as you know from the stock and stuff from this pandemic and sure! I don't go to well with heat and have fainted a few times since I have two monitors also but will be moving into a bigger room soon so could use the most performance and better cooling so for the pre-built was thinking a 2060. Fans I could use some help on since yeah new to tech side and if and would like as many as I could add and with decent cooling and of course rgb it has zero this case haha
if you are talking about the front RBG i was also confused at first but it is just a sata cable from the front panel that connects directly to the power supply. I am not a big fan of it as all of the RGB in my case is connected and can be sunk minus the front panel. i also saw people not being able to turn off their front RBG but if you just hold down the LED button on the front of a couple seconds it will turn off.
A little late to the party, but I've built that same system except a 6gb gpu instead, and it runs just fine, though it's also set up on a desk in a 65F room, so that might have some effect
Do you think that the B450 aorus pro WiFi motherboard will fit in this case? I want to build a pc and I’ve been looking at this case and I am worried that my motherboard will not fit.
I haven't purchased a case in twenty years I usually modify old ones and make them useful but I'm out of cases and time to build from scratch so this one may do
Bought this case recently. Lightweight build quality. Glass side not a particularly good fit. SD card reader was not there. I sent it back for a refund when the LED lights failed after a few hours. For the same money, I bought a good CIT case with a 500watt power supply, space for a CD ROM on the front and much better build quality.
Ok so i'm new to PC builds, I have this case with a single exhaust fan at the rear above my graphic card, I'd like to add 2 rgb fans to the bottom black grill thing (rgb makes stuff run better obv) my question is which way should the air flow be, and where do I plug the fans in to get power?
Depends on the fans! May a Suggest different fan placement for optimal airflow and better looks? Place the stock fan in the front in the bottom position, 1 RGB fan on the roof of the case and one at the back. Each fan will plug into either Molex, Sata, Controller or a motherboard header! Need any assistance? Fee free to message me Via the Jezy_Official Facebook page
Safistic yes, look at the front of the case, at the bottom where you see the vents, put your hand under the front of the case and you will feel a large cutout about the size of your hand? Grab the case here and maybe rest some body weight on the rest of the case and pull! Not violently!!!! As you will break the friction fittings. Give it a pull and upwards, if it doesn’t come off do it harder until it does! Then to put it back on! Just put into place and use your palm and with reasonable force (about the same force you use knocking a door) whack in the fitting locations for it to clip back in place. If you would like additional support with a video demonstration? Drop a request to me on the Jezy_Official facebook page. Take care
I have a msi 5700xt gaming x (pretty toasty card) and it runs no hotter than 80°C. My fan setup is 3 front, 1 gpu and 2 exhaust. I think it shohld be fine
If you put a SP fan at the bottom of the front mounting area you can pull in some average air! But keep an eye out for my review on the upcoming Pro version
I'm housing a 7700k with radeon 7. This thing, once built looks very nice. Feels more expensive paired with some RGB fans. The SD reader is a nice touch for a cheap purchase. Air flow is pretty good too.
2023 REVIEW: Anyone coming to this comment section in 2023 be forewarned that this case as pretty subpar airflow. I am running a liquid cooled ryzen 7 5700x (with a 240mm radiator mounted behind the front panel) and a 3060ti. This thing got HOT when I first built it (60C idle, 88 under 100% load) because the hot air was just hitting the front panel like a walland getting trapped in the case. The only **affordable** solution I could think of for this was to cut some holes in the front to let the air passing through radiator and expel somehow. Came out pretty good and temps are reading more normal (45C idle, 65 under 100% load.) If you’re trying to budget and don’t want to dump money on a GPU cooler as well, this method of customization makes this case pretty viable all around, or if you don’t care about aesthetics you can just remove the front panel all together to let the air escape. 7 out of 10.
thanks mate, appreciate it. I have this case for about 4 years now and looking to see whether i can upgrade hardware in this thing. Can you install 2/3 front fans and remove the front panel and put a magnetic mesh filter on it, would that work?

I’ve seen other reviews on how th top of the case can flex. Is this true
No, just a tiny bit
probably shouldnt be putting stuff on the top of your case...
How did you open the front part where the led thing is? did you pull it? Did you unscrew something?, I want to put 2 fans on the front please help.
There in a lip in the bottom of the front panel, you pull it forward with the case standing normally. Don’t pull too hard and break the clips though!
Jezy I’ll try that thanks
Grab from the bottom and pull
I’m just tryna install my front fans but I have no idea how to take off the front panel
Same bro
You pull it from the bottom gently not to hard or the clips will break
Looking into this case, thanks for the video!

Definitely!
Yup this is the one i have it works but you can't install a fan in the left bottom.
Can you make a video about how to take the front panel (not glass, but where the rgb strip is) i want to add fans to the front?
Still need help ?
Can the rear fan be relocated to the front? I want to replace it in the rear with an RGB fan. (Case arrived yesterday before rest of my components.)
