      Yoko Kurama, you could build your HTPC as I did : since then I don't pay for TV cable leases an such, I can get the same news on the Net as well as movies including my own collection. It sits nicely under the FHD TV. With a small footprint, but powerful enough for me to also play Skyrim or TESO in Ultra or other type of leisure (including more serious office / school work), right in the living room. I have full control via a wi-fi backlit remote controller, including multimedia buttons, a mini keyboard and finger-slider mouse. I Can do just about anything, without the limitation of those TV or BR devices little applets.. *What I don't like* is that since they're compact, ITX mobo manufacturers should provide for an _imperative_ Wi-Fi functionality, and case manufacturers should provide nowadays standards in I/O ports for attaching external devices like some RAID USB NAS storage - or even and external GC -, via Type-c Gen 2 or better, thunderbolt 3. At least USB 3.1 but most of them still don't. Like, come on : the fact of being "compact" cries out loud for top notch communication/transfer functionalities with the bare bones of the IT Home.

      The thing is Ryzen 4 cores deliver way better performance per dollar. A 1500X 65w is 90% of the performance of an i7 6700/7700 65w while costing nearly half with less power consumption and way less heat output.

    I just got this case and finished my install in it. I used almost exactly the same components Kyle shows. I used more zipties on this case than I've ever used before. Kyle is a cable routing ninja. I have no idea how he got the USB 3.0 header cable to look that good. I highly recommend using the Corsair SF600 power supply as it's small size makes things much easier. I used Asus' GTX 1080 Strix to match all the rest of the RGB in the case. The video card just barely fits. I do NOT recommend using the Corsair H80i as the very stiff tubing made mounting the radiator almost impossible. The orientation and mounting Kyle shows is the ONLY way it will fit. The sides of the case are used for cable routing. Don't expect any airflow from the side fans even if you do have room for them. Mounting a mechanical drive was a real challenge. Especially because it eliminates a large chunk of cable routing space. This was probably my most challenging PC build in a stock case since I started building PCs over twenty years ago.
    Update: Cooling in this case is a problem. One solution is to manually set the fan curves on the graphics card. The graphics card exhaust is the exhaust fan for the whole PC.
    Update 2: Revision 3 is a custom EK water cooling loop. A single PE 120 radiator works great and keeps the temperatures under 60 degrees C even with a modest overclock.

    • @4rc-f145h
      @4rc-f145h 7 лет назад +1

      Jimmy Liu GPU temps are very stable. The issue is the CUP and VRMs on the MB. I tried an air cooler, the Cooler Master Gemini, and it worked about as well as the H80i. The short of this is don't put an i7 in this case.

    • @toyinc
      @toyinc 7 лет назад

      Thanks Aaron Schaffer. I actually already have an I7 with an H80i installed in the case. I'm currently running on board graphics since I was waiting to buy a 1080ti. Just to confirm, your ROG Strix card fit with the H80i V2. I was debating about the ASUS or the slimmer EVGA FTW3.

    3. How does the inside look, dust wise? Are the filters doing their job or is dust getting in?

    Here's an airflow tip if it helps anyone:
    - There is the default PC case fan that is in exhaust fan on the front of the case (top)
    - I added another fan under it (above the radiator) mounted vertically as well, also as an exhaust fan.
    - Now you have the front as exhaust only, you can REMOVE THE MESH on the sides openings of the front as air is being pushed out so dust is not an issue here; this give so much more airflow and significantly cooled the PC.
    I do have a question though, I've been seeing youtubers advise for the pump not to be above the radiator. I don't think it's possible to install it any other way on this case. Is it such an issue?
    I've had my PC for two years now and no issues with the pump so far.

    For the fan so close to the cables, I would go with a SP fan and a mesh fan grill. It's a bit of an expense, but once the metal cover is installed, it won't interfere with the cables _at all_ and aesthetically if you can find one in black it'll do.

  • @robertboeiend5949
    @robertboeiend5949 7 лет назад

    I was actually really excited for this case when it was announced. From what I see now there are several issues with this case:
    1. The PSU exhausts to the bottom of the case, right next to an intake fan;
    2. Horrible cable management (there are a ton of itx cases that do it way better);
    3. The PCI bracket can not swap, because the PCI ribbon is too short;
    4. It's still huge for an itx case.
    The only thing this case has going for itself is the looks, but really for a 100+ dollar/euro case I expected more out of this. I will stick to the node 202 for my next Ryzen mitx gaming build.

    however, there's one thing left, and that's peripherals. perhaps i'm missing something or underestimating the clearance in the top, but i have a hard time imagining how displays and other stuff are supposed to be connected without severe cable bending. just think of a Corsair keyboard's rigid cable and giant USB plug
