The full mesh version of the case is really good, it allows hot air coming out of the GPU’s heatsink fins to directly exit the case through the side panel holes and the side panel is still relatively see-through so you can all your RGB goodness.
@@zenastronomy Its pretty good really. Much less dust than all of my other PC's. That fine mesh does keep much of the dust out. If you can get away with less fans because of more mesh that will help you too.
@polvorin15764 fair enough 👌 A lot of it comes down to individual preference too. Personally I enjoy the diffused lighting effect with mesh. Also to me just about every case has tempered glass. I just became tired of it. Then there is the extra care factor needed with glass. I do acknowledge glass is better at stopping noise. As you said pro as cons. :-)
I have a white mesh version and I am very satisfied as someone who has exclusively used ITX cases in the last few years. It's an excellent MATX case that isn't much larger than ITX solutions and can accommodate all current graphics cards. The build quality is excellent and the only thing that was missing for me was a transparent side panel, so I will consider getting this new revision of the case :) By the way, if the power supply cage is raised to the first notch, it is possible to install a front fan even though it is not officially supported, just in case anyone was wondering. :)
@@Amidargh1989 I installed an 80x80 fan, but I think a larger fan should work without any issues. In the meantime, I changed the case; I got the Jonsbo D31, so I'm not able to confirm that for a larger fan.
mATX is not dead. Never will. It has the balance of price and features. Lower price and retaining most of the features for regular users than the ATX variant.
It depends, sometimes it's even more expensive. (Mainboard and case are the main reason) But yeah all in all I agree on that. Most likely it is the same price or a little bit cheaper. 😁
I love this case, so much I bought 2 all mesh ones for both of my builds because I was so impressed by the 1st one. I do feel like the mesh one is where it’s at for thermal performance- It really tames gpus that throw out a lot of heat allowing it to exit the case easily.
@@3dart_es409 yeah you’ll have to maybe be on top of dusting your case more, I haven’t noticed an accumulation or more than normal. I typically wipe around and clean dust every few months or so on any system and this case makes it very accessible to do so
How are the noise levels on the AP201 mesh version ? I own a Lian Li Q58 ITX case which has a mix of glass and mesh panels and I do think my RX 6900XT GPU is now noticeably louder than when it was installed in a typical tempered glass ATX tower case. Now I can also hear some coil whine from the GPU which I didn't before. The Q58 is a sandwich case though so the GPU fans are in vertical orientation which may contribute to my noticing the fan noise. I just can't decide between the mesh or glass versions of AP201 ?
@@gencoserpen1260 they aren’t bad at all honestly- I’m sure glass would insulate it a bit more, but for axial fan gpus that blow hot air out the sides when traditionally mounted (not vertically), the mesh REALLY helps dissipate heat that could build up in the case. I’ve tried out other cases after this one and I keep coming back to it due to the build quality and ease of use.
@@yanyan0824 Hey, do you know if the side panels are identical? Can you put either one on either side? I ordered the glass version and was wondering if I will be able to change the look if I want to. Thanks!
I really wanted to swap to itx with an nr200 but it was just too small for me to comfortably fit my parts in without sacrificing noise levels. I’ve been eyeing this case for months and im super interested in swapping to it when I upgrade
Speaking of fans on the bottom, I actually managed to put three 120mm fans on my AP201, for the 3rd fan I had to use zip ties and it worked like a charm, plus it didn't affect the magnetic dust filter too which is neat, definitely loving this case right now!
I think when the bottom fans are that close to the gpu fans, it actually hurts the gpu temp rather than help cooling it. Another channel has tested this
On point! I see EVERYWHERE that ppl install those bottom fans without even thinking about it.... They doing nothing there! As @GearSeekers agrees, they just making no difference at all, so just why everyone use them? Common guys dont just copy builds, use your head too! If i will buy this case, definitely will not put fans at all to the bottom, less cable, less money to spend, more room to other cables, HDD-s etc.
I have been building PC's for over 25 years and I just totally fell in love with the AP201. I downsized from a NZXT Phantom 410 for own personal PC. It was just super fun swapping my hardware over and also the versatility of the little chassis is incredible. Once upon a time you needed a big tower to fit everything in but no more. MATX sure aint dead. Personally I have got sick of tempered glass so I went the all mesh AP201. All around airflow is just such a great thing too. I also really like that diffused look of some RGB behind the mesh. Only thing I can criticize is Asus got a bit carried away with the branding. I don't think anyone wanted giant letters saying PRIME. Another plus for the all mesh version is that you don't get that.
how did you manage 85° on a 13600k with a 360 aio? you can slap a 240 in a mini itx case as exhause with no other fans and you get better thermals than this, did you maybe forget to tighten the screws ? lol
been using it for a while, great build quality, easy to build, I just wish the right side panel is solid. I have a lot of extension cable so the panel bulged quite a lot
Awesome video fams. Nice little case. I've been thinking about downsizing from the Qube 2 case i've got. Keen to see if Computex brings some new case announcements.
coming from NR200p, and A4 style case, i feel like this layout is the best balance between easy to build, looks nice, compact, yet stylish. And this case seems like knows exact what it is selling. But that front panel section looks so ugly to me 😭
GREAT!!! What a piece of art, the perfect positions: power supply at the front, air from bottom to top. The chinese Jonsbo is making cases in the exactly same way.
I have been waiting for MATX to make a come back. Most people, like myself, do not need everything that ATX offers but at the same time I don't want to compromise going ITX.
This is kind of a weird state of things: I think we've all seen a trend of matx being kind of left out as mostly a budget option for a couple years but now well, it seems like no PC company big or small believes in such a thing as a 'budget' PC anymore, specially if you look at modern motherboard prices. So to me the happy consequence of everything just being on a raise to the top on pricetags is that people won't settle for budget matx based cases anymore so we might start seeing more decent options like this. So I guess I'm conflicted: case is *super* nice and if I had this available I would have chosen it over the 200R a couple of years ago but at the same time, a couple of years ago I could actually buy a decent, serviceable motherboard for under 100 USD so it doesn't seems like the incentive of going matx to access cheaper but still quality parts is of much use today.
I sincerely wish I had found this comment sooner. I've been using the same PC for 10 years. I really liked your build and wanted to make the same one for myself. I just dropped 3,300 on everything I need to build this same PC with some other things I needed. The last of my parts will arrive tomorrow. Now I don't know what to do. @@GearSeekers
I have the mesh version. Just wish it was possible to get the TG side panel on its own as I'd like to be able to swap between the two. Having this case has made me super conscious to ensure to get matx motherboards with the top GPU slot at the top slot as it looks like your gpu uses the second slot, making it practically touching the bottom fans which can hurt thermals.
How did you mount the bottom intake fans? I have a similar case, but I can't figure out which screw to use to install the fans & theres nothing mentioned in the manual either. Are they included in the case, or do they accompany the fans? Pls & thx also keep up the good work❤
Awesome build. I'd love to see a similar review/build/comparison with the Jonsbo D31 w/LCD. Similar style of case that offers something really unique with the built in LCD display.
It's odd seeing cases with front-mounted PSUs. One of the reasons the old AT standard went away is because the wires carrying full mains voltage to the switch at the front were deemed dangerous.
Well, you definitely were not helping yourself with the RGB by mixing all those brands how many programs did you have to get MSI, Gigabyte, and Lian li?
@@GearSeekers Hahah I know man, that's why I'm so disappointed...🤣 But in all seriousness, I completely agree they are all awful I'm dealing with Fusion 2.0 issues right now. I think its the worst of all of them.
Is it OK to have the power supply fan on the inside of the case? When I do this it gives me more room for the 4090 OC edition to fit in as the wires/connecters get in the way of the atx PSU. It can also give a little more room for a 360 AIO since the power cable is on the opposite side.
Just ordered on from Amazon Canada for $99. Gonna build a rig with some spare parts I've gathered. ie: ASRock B550M Pro4, R5 3600x, 16gig Gskills 3600mHz 1Tb M.2 some fans and a good o'l Rx580 4G to be upgraded in a near future.
Hi mate, I'm gonna build my new editing PC using this case. I'm just curious is it possible to swap the side panels? What I have in mind is to swap places the TG and the mesh panel on the back side whenever I don't feel seeing the inside. I hope you notice this one. I really like how you build PC, been watching your contents for a few days now 😄😄😄
i just built in this case and it's awesome! you can actually fit much larger components in here then what asus claims. i got a big asus 180m psu and it fits no problem with my 4080FE and 280mm aio.
Would you be able to do thermal tests again without fans in the bottom? In reviews of similar cases, they've shown that case fans can worsen GPU thermals by creating turbulence (especially on large GPUs where the card fans and case fans are close together)
Based on the location and length of sfx cables I do not think it would normally work with included cables, unless it comes with standard length cables which would make it hard to fit in itx cases....going to look at the mesh versions of this for better cooling for the GPU.
The 12 pin connectits are such a pain.. with the side panel in, no doubt that the connector would fail in no time. Its a common issue with the 4080 and 4090s..
When I fell in love with custom pc builds , my first choice was ATX cases til I saw the ap201 ... I'm looking forward to building in one especially the mesh version 😉 that launched earlier
Did you try with the rear fan as an intake? This might help with those CPU temps. It might sound weird to some but is quite common to do with SFF cases with no front intake
Awesome! So i'm working on a similar build with the same case and psu. Was that the top or middle psu chassis slot to fit the aio? You think I can get an asus ryou iii aio and a gigabyte 4090 in there? Also I just learned you can flip the glass and mesh panels around if you want safer gpu breathing room.. Love the beat during the build! Reminds me of some 90's Dj Premier / Gang starr stuff!
How would you reccomend setting up additional fans for this case if im using regular air cooler for cpu? I was thinking on keeping back cooler as out, add 2x12 fans on top as out and 2x12 fans on the bottom as in for the additional gpu cooling
All these cases show us that the standards need to change in PCs. We are still using an ancient designs for PC components and these case manufacturers are trying their best to make small cases because honestly these days there is absolutely no point to have a huge PC like in the 90s lol.
I just ordered nearly the same build. Upgrading from my 11 year old inWin 303 and old PSU. I purchased a RM750 Corsair (white) PSU, will it fit okay in this case as long as I don't try to use a large old style hard drive? Also, nearly same board (B460m), and NZXT 360 Elite cooler as well, with Lian Li case fans, so this video really helped me figure out what it'll look like all put together. Only thing is my GPU is black, oh well.
Hi, I also noticed the fans underneath are not mentioned anywhere. Can you tell me if there are 140mm fans or only 120mm ones? The size is not clear from the video. Thanks in advance.
I'm currently using this case although I have the all mesh case and not the one glass panel variant. So happy with it. I wonder if I can buy the glass panel in asus website. Oh and... that gpu sag
Is there any space at all between your bottom fans and the GPU? I have the same setup and am hoping to fit T30s (30mm instead of 28 on the lianli fans here).
Very nice case, it's a shame that they have been a bit too stingy at some points. You are forced to unscrew a PSU bracket to connect a power supply, and they use extremely poor screws that are tightened too much = possible stripped screws.
Would look good if it was black. Whats the deal with all these white cases now? I remember when all you could get was white and over time they turned some yellow tint color, horrible. And when a black case came out everyone was excited lol. And that size of care might as well just leave out the bottom fans.
I wish MATX got way more love then it does from Motherboard manufactures. Theres so much they can do, but board partners arent capitalizing on them as much as they could be. I have a MicroATX build to, and I love it.
Different sized motherboards and layouts. SFF (Small Form Factor) is usually for the really tiny PCs. ITX is a case designed for ITX motherboards but too big to be considered SFF and MATX is a larger motherboard size that cannot fit in either SFF or ITX. Hope that clears it up a little :)
Really good video as always! Maybe you can get better thermals flipping the back fan? With 3 exhaust top, and knowing opening panel lower thermals, i think its better to give more air into the case!
The full mesh version of the case is really good, it allows hot air coming out of the GPU’s heatsink fins to directly exit the case through the side panel holes and the side panel is still relatively see-through so you can all your RGB goodness.

How does this case support a 360 AIO but the LL Air Mini doesn't. That is nuts.
great video man, does the rtx 4090 gigabyte aero fit in?)❤
Could you fit a 240mm cooler on the bottom under a thin GPU? Ive got a 4090 Liquid Suprim X, that would be a great little 4090 build.
I just ordered nearly the same build. Upgrading from my 11 year old inWin 303 and old PSU. I purchased a RM750 Corsair (white) PSU, will it fit okay in this case as long as I don't try to use a large old style hard drive? Also, nearly same board (B460m), and NZXT 360 Elite cooler as well, with Lian Li case fans, so this video really helped me figure out what it'll look like all put together. Only thing is my GPU is black, oh well.
love the Super Garage shirt! hopefully nothing goes *in the bin*
Hahaha!
What is that device u are using at the back of the case in the 8:06 mark?
I think that's a fan hub or an RGB hub or both, it's used to like Daisy chain the fans together
This is definitely a Jonsbo case rebrand it's almost exactly the same as the Jonsbo Mesh D31
Gorgeous 🤩🤯🤤case with great support for powerful components inside 🥰💪👍. Great case design, aesthetics and colour 🤤👍. Job well done Asus!
Hi, I also noticed the fans underneath are not mentioned anywhere. Can you tell me if there are 140mm fans or only 120mm ones? The size is not clear from the video. Thanks in advance.
Didn't remove the side panel protection film :(
Beautiful end result.
Do they do a version without the ugly Prime logo on the glass?
Could you actually fit a third 120mm fan on the bottom? The square holes seem big enough for screws, no?
You should check Jonsbo d31. Almost similar design but with a screen included.
I'm currently using this case although I have the all mesh case and not the one glass panel variant. So happy with it. I wonder if I can buy the glass panel in asus website. Oh and... that gpu sag
have you done test with a mesh version yet?
Looks a little like the Jonsbo D31 with a slightly different front
Is there any space at all between your bottom fans and the GPU? I have the same setup and am hoping to fit T30s (30mm instead of 28 on the lianli fans here).
This case is 100% ment for ATX PSU's. The full mesh case does have much better thermals. Hope you test it for yourself :D
With the side panel off will net the same thermals as with the mesh side
Please review the Jonsbo d31. the case is a banger with its screen.
Very nice case, it's a shame that they have been a bit too stingy at some points. You are forced to unscrew a PSU bracket to connect a power supply, and they use extremely poor screws that are tightened too much = possible stripped screws.
Would look good if it was black. Whats the deal with all these white cases now? I remember when all you could get was white and over time they turned some yellow tint color, horrible. And when a black case came out everyone was excited lol. And that size of care might as well just leave out the bottom fans.
They make a black version.
@@GearSeekers yep just got it in the mail.
Literally my pc case rn but mesh version sheeeesh
Did you have to do anything special when using the SFX power supply? Does it come with and adapter plate?
I wish MATX got way more love then it does from Motherboard manufactures. Theres so much they can do, but board partners arent capitalizing on them as much as they could be. I have a MicroATX build to, and I love it.
Almost the size of on ATX case. Should make one with lower 'forehead'.
*I'm so confused between the difference of SFF, ITX, MATX cases: what do they all mean?*
Different sized motherboards and layouts. SFF (Small Form Factor) is usually for the really tiny PCs. ITX is a case designed for ITX motherboards but too big to be considered SFF and MATX is a larger motherboard size that cannot fit in either SFF or ITX. Hope that clears it up a little :)
@@GearSeekers *I think so lol so it goes SFF → ITX → MATX*
This TG version is flying off shelves in East Asia
It's got wings! 😂😂
I DIDNT KNOW THEY CAME OUT WITH A TG VERSION. ive been loving this but id kill for just the glass
Really good video as always! Maybe you can get better thermals flipping the back fan? With 3 exhaust top, and knowing opening panel lower thermals, i think its better to give more air into the case!
Good content!
I'm new here, but i'm really interested about Asus Prime AP201.
Because i want case around 35cm tall to place under my desk
My girlfriend saw this case on Amazon and fell in love with it. I was very proud that day.
