    To answer the question “Will the Arctic Freezer III 360 fit in this case?”…. 💀

    • @martinmonsterbale1305

      Crazy how much fits but also how small they’ve made that case

      @Mr_Matt_Lee  8 месяцев назад +32

      @@martinmonsterbale1305absolutely agreed. It’s not a tall case by any means, but the length and GPU support etc is awesome. To be fair, with slim fans fitted to the thick radiator the Freezer III would’ve fit. The cooling wouldn’t have been quite as wholesome though

    • @blatant6500
      @blatant6500 8 месяцев назад +2

      tbh, i do think it would fit. Maybe if the motherboard has an less taller io shield?

      @Mr_Matt_Lee  8 месяцев назад +7

      @@blatant6500 it wouldn’t, honestly. The IO shield was the smallest of any motherboard I own and it still wouldn’t clear by quite a long shot. Perhaps you had a motherboard which has a removable IO plate there could be a slim chance… or just fit slim fans to the Freezer III instead 🫡

      PC part picker can really help you with some of this. They generally do the research to make sure components like coolers and other things fit inside cases. It is a good place to start, you can configure a system in a case and see if anything throws a conflict error.

Gotta see a little bling inside especially if its a MATX case ( and not a tiny airflow restricted SFF case).

    Isn't it a lot better to bring in cool air through the radiator (intake through the top and exhaust through the back and bottom? That way GPU hot air won't pass through the radiator and instead immediately exhausted out.

  • @nihren2406
    @nihren2406 8 месяцев назад

    Man I wish this was available when I built my current rig last year. I thought having the biggest case and more upgrade options would be fantastic, but it's such a hassle to do anything with because it's so massive. A small form factor is what I'll probably do next and this case looks great, though I am concerned about GPU clearance so I'll have to double check on that when the time comes if I go with this case. I currently use a 4-slot 4090 and it definitely doesn't seem like it'd fit here.
