Awesome video! I am trying to decide between the c5 and c8. I dont really need a larger case but it seems like it has great cooling and awesome fans. Anything you can say to help me decide?
@@Cheezpig_Playz Thanks for the feedback. I ended up getting the c5 and sort of regret it, but I guess there are some sacrifices I had to make by going smaller case. I cant mount my 360mm rad to the side due to be being slightly too tall. Other than that its fine. The rbg is not syncing on one of the fans and the light strip in front, and they are different color from the rest of the fans. That and the rgb button acts as a system reset button and isnt changing colors of the rgb. Other than that the case is fine. A step down in quality from my Synchro q703 case by seasonic, which was fine in design, but not my favorite case.
I personally don’t hate Antec’s products. I think they are making products seriously. Their products have a sense of craftsmanship. But I have to name one shortcoming. I hate the front of the fan that comes with Antec’s chassis. The triangular LOGO in the center is fine when it stops, but once it starts to rotate, you will see the wrong vibration of the scale. I hope Antec can face up to this problem, remove the sticker on the fan shaft, or design a fan that looks good when rotating. The stickers are accurately placed in the center using a laser-measured robotic arm.
Because hot air should be exhaust, take out of the chassis, so the AIO radiator should be installed on the top of chassis, the GPU not vertical installed have three reason, the first is pcie riser cable needs money, and they are very expensive and doesn't generate extra performance gain just increase the cost, the second reason is the GPU's third fan is designed passthrough air to the backside, so the hot air can lift up to AIO radiator, for me, buying the GPU vertical mount kit just like throws money into water.... finally, this case doesn't support GPU vertical mounting.
@@vAmmoniteIf your case supports it and you like it, just go for it! Vertical gpu mounting is better for your motherboard because there will be almost 0 stress on the PCIE slot due to heavy gpu's and it also looks cool. 😎 This specific Antec build just isn't vertical mount friendly because of the 3 bottom fans.
Is it possible to fit a magnetic GPU Support Bracket under the GPU and the bottom fans? Is there any tiny space for it?
does it support push pull radiator on top or side mount?
for the price this case is amazing imo i had a fractal meshify c and i went to this my gpu is 8c cooler under max load and cpu same (air cooler)
hi ! is it possible to go with a 12vhpwr (with like a 90° from cablemod variant A) that pass backplate side of the gpu ? (sry for my poor english) !
cuz it look like there is a hole in the chassis right at the lvl on the pcie slot .
How do you lower the fan speed . ? Its so noisy
on the thumbnail, is that actually how the white rgb looks like?
this is a slick little case. who does your music btw? its really good.

if you dont need a larger case then theres not much of a reason to choose the c8 since its more expensive and comes with like 1 fan

No rubber grommet😢
Because it comes with back support
It looks like its also folded steel so no worry for cutting wires, and its covered by the mobo so not really a visual issue I think
why the AIO on top and not on the side as an intake? Also, why no vertical GPU given that airflor from bottom to top gives all the reason to do that?

@@yuan.pingchen3056oh really? i was planning to vertical mount an XFX 7900xtx and I'm unsure why that wouldn't work

@@vAmmonite why cant i put my car tire on backwards is the same energy, the case doesnt support it...
