A very NICE surprise - Thermaltake Tower 300

[@88luda88]

You're the first I've seen showing that it has the dust filters. Almost bought another case before I saw your vid. Thanks brother.

[@anthonyj202000]

This is also compatible with the new rear connection motherboards. Looking forward to my next build with this and the Project Zero components.

[@xWaxxy]

Fuck, thanks so much for that info - I’m planning a build in this!

[@swizzler8053]

That's going to be a clean build bro.

[@Fearedbynone02]

i got one of these cases and i love it. thermals are good. ryzen 7 5800x with a 280mm aio, tuf gaming rx7900xt oc edition. after about 2 hours of gaming. gpu 71c, 100% , 331w. cpu 66c 21%, 85w. it was a very nice build. waiting for the stand and lcd to release.

[@2011Kestrel]

I've pre ordered this case as its not out in the UK yet. I should be getting it on about 15th of march. Its bloody killing me having to wait so long. Great review, thanks for being so thorough.

How is it now?

[@andymawby52]

@@FeelMyBicepp Very easy to build in. Great temps and it looks awesome. I got the stand for it a week ago and it looks great on it. I have a RX 7900 XTX and it runs at high 60 to low 70. I am very happy with it.

[@DudeManGuy95]

I’m so happy to this, I have that exact Motherboard and have been waiting for a new mATX case that isn’t just a small black box

[@Scrivyyy]

One thing to keep in mind with these types of cases that ive run into is some high end GPUs run into weird issues being in the "hanging orientation". Something to do with how the directions of wicking works with the heatpipe designs. Causes it to almost instantly go to max temp and fans to go to 100%. Ive only seen it on the Asus tuf 7900 xtx but seems to be okay with gigabyte rtx4090 gaming oc. I tried it in the silverstone alta case but if you flip the case upside down, all the issues go away.

[@baron-wh]

yep - had the same with my gigabyte rtx3070 - wish i'd seen this before doing the thermal repaste but you live and learn 🙂

[@deviantbuilds]

This is thermaltakes' best case at the moment. I'm glad to see them do neat cases.

[@kevinwhilden5394]

Great review. I built a tower 100 and really like it. I don't need to upgrade to this case, but I might do it anyway.

[@lifeless117]

Gonna be part of my next build when the new cpus comes out this yr for AMD still on am4. 5600x and 6900xt. Gonna keep my 6900xt till new gpus come out towards end of this yr i believe.

[@ouki4925]

I would make the CPU cooler as intake so that everything is pushed to the top 140mm fans. The RAM and VRM gets hit with cool air as well.

[@terryjohnson3100]

I built a tower 100 when it first came out. Aesthetically - this form factor is awesome. Everyone asks about it when they come by my office. Cant wait for the 300's color variants to come out. I sense another build in my future. Thanks for the content!

[@Battleneter]

Just not worth doing unless your super tight on space, standard mid tower cases are often cheaper, more flexible, usually better airflow etc. Aesthetically I guess m-atx looks better but just not worth the tradeoffs.

[@epicmike3915]

@@Battleneter Agreed. I had too many headaches with ITX. Most SFF PSU were terrible. I'm not sure I can go back to SFF.

[@CarlosAlvarez-tp5qg]

@@Battleneterwhat trade offs are you referring to? Because I’m getting the asrock b550m steel series and usually with an m-atx board the main loss is having 1 m.2 but with this board it has 2

[@danielfinstad9684]

I think yall should take a look at the Tower 200 as well - it’s probably the most fun build experience I’ve ever had. I can’t even count how many times I said “oh that’s convenient” or “that’s gonna make my life so much easier”. Really allows you to showcase the hardware without the challenge of managing cables in tight spaces. This line of cases was definitely built with the enthusiast in mind.

[@garetht1236]

Thermaltake gods, if you're listening I would love the tower 300 to fit an ATX motherboard. No other changes needed.

[@Chrispynutt]

Hi Nick did the orientation affect the heat of the GPU? on end typically is against the flow of the heat pipes so I'm surprised by the GPU temps.

[@johnnywoolen1453]

Music was fire Nick. Case review was also on point.

[@abdolkarimmehrparvar6583]

[@Niaobi]

Not sure where those who are waiting on the stand and lcd are located, but I got both along with the case a couple of days ago.

[@fungt89]

Love how gpu makers making antisag sticks meanwhile tt embraced gravity.

[@jeremiegartner464]

Thats the best looking motherboard for this case. to bad its discontinued. ASUS needs to bring it back. Also, technically the GPU is an intake the way its setup.

[@John_the_baptized]

New intro! 🔥 *edit* Seeing this build sort of makes me regret buying the King 95…

[@danielcampbell3686]

I Didn't realise this case could support a 420, and I love the airflow for the GPU and AIO, with the air being vented to the top of the case. I was looking at the factual North XL but this offers another option.

[@crazyeyecarl]

Whats the best way to cool it on its side? I was thinking the 2 140's on top and back as intake, then the 3 120's on the side as top exhaust.

[@adriancpm]

does the radiator pump in that orientation mess it up?

[@55882]

nothing against black cases, but this one comes with really nice colors

[@Kelekona_808]

If the biggest trick the case has is to stand/sit horizontally, then I think the base should have been included in the box.

[@markotto1767]

Have you experied something about thermals of gpus when vertical mounted ? I read about problems with heat pipes when not used in horizontal position. Thanks

[@eggy1711]

Informative video thinking of getting it, will you be reviewing the LCD screen when it comes out for the Tower 300, if it is worth adding to this case.

[@m.n.8957]

I have 1 question. I was told that this upright aio position with the tubes at top is the worst config bc of potential air in the system. Think it was gamers nexus who did a video on it. How does it then make sense for Thermaltake to design a case where the tubes has to be in the top?

[@Kokinkun]

That configuration is fine, the issue is when the pump is at the highest point of the loop and air gets trapped in the pump.

[@m.n.8957]

Ok, ty for answer@@Kokinkun

[@PCAG888]

You are wrong! The GPU acts as intake as well. So you do kind of have positive airflow. And i agree this is the best air flow setup for this case. Just my opinion.

[@wootoots]

Didn't show how it would look like with cables hooked up to the board back panel and gpu.

[@GearSeekers]

[@Drthxplct]

Due to that PSU shroud. Does this somehow support RMX shift PSU's? I am really looking forward to this case, and it's gonna be a bummer if this wont support shift psu's.

[@triliner254]

Please get the lian li fans, they will actually cool ur pc and wont sound like a jet

[@MAKExEVIL]

Where do all the cables exit the case?

[@100radsbar]

Regarding airflow. It got me thinking. Doing the laying down option. You use the top & bottom fans as intake (a.k.a. they are now side intakes as the case is tilted), as well as two 140mm fans in the back as intake also. You then use the 3 fans on the 420AIO as exhaust. Would this not create the most optimal airflow inside?

[@Maverick00555]

Enjoyed the review but with alternate layouts like this can you go thought accessing the motherboard and Gpu io 😊

[@markpusko2480]

Would've been nice to see a better top view of the rear i/o ports & video out ports. I don't see one cable coming out the top - whether HDMI, ethernet etc. How does that work with the top fans in te way. I assume for the same reason you can't use a mobo with WIFI antenna?

[@yodaandthebike5839]

[@Cali_Sense]

I'm doing my build with this currently, 4080 super, 7800x3d, i want an air cooler, but i know an aio is a better option here, so i haven't decided yet on that.

[@Kokinkun]

You could easily do any air cooler for the 7800X3D as you're not limited by the CPU cooler height. Add 3x 120/140mm fans on the side as intake to feed cool air to your air cooler and RAM.

[@ReckIamation]

Oh, damn! This video is on Thermaltake's website? Saw a link for Thermaltake Australia and the thumbnail looked familiar... How much space do you think is wasted on the back cable management area, the top (above the O/I shield), and the front glass? I know it's supposed to hold the biggest GPUs currently on the market and help with air/heat but it just looks way too big for the parts that it can hold. I'm curious why they did not extend the GPU bracket panel across the I/O shield to help hide the I/O cables. They could have easily had one single angle shroud to divert and hide the GPU and I/o plug-ins up then back to cable route out the case without blocking the top fans. Maybe mirror the bottom shroud angles? The top part, past the I/O shield, just looks too unfinished/wasted space. The top probably could have been cut down 3-4 inches and still kept it's functionality. Maybe lose one top fan but that would make it more symmetrical with the bottom solo fan (especially if it was on the mount lying flat). I was really excited about this case but the more I look at it, and it's price, the more I hesitate to make the decision to buy. Also trying to understand why they did not include rubber grommets with all the pass-throughs. I found a website that sells "mods" and one is grommets to plug those holes.

[@superstaples]

Why not try flipping the top two fans to intake so it's positive/neutral? Also your cords up there wont be getting hot but rather cooled.

[@puddleduckist]

Cool unique case!!🎉🎉🎉

[@Devildoginvu]

Does the power supply cables in the basement impede airflow?

[@justatim8143]

It is sad when Thermaltake is one of the only Companies that still has a standard front panel why all other cheap out and only have 1 audio/mic jack. Like the case and fans but hate the Branding all over with the TT and Thermaltake. I agree as they want way to much for the case and at the least, they should include the stand. No different then Lian Li does and when you want the extras they are always out of stock.

[@ranchodaschanchad8767]

Can you share if its possible to fit 2x140mm fans AND 2 (3.5") HDD drives on the back? Cos it seems it can hold 1 pair of either. Would be nice if it fits all

[@garyc5245]

Did I miss something or is that rear panel not very easily accessible?

[@PCPAyLOAD]

What about Radiator depth? I have seen people claiming anywhere from a total of 63mm to 90mm of total depth available. Looking to do a full custom loop. Any help would be appreciated.

[@prangvincent]

Did you do a custom loop build? I didn't and start to regret it

[@PCPAyLOAD]

@prangvincent Yes I did. Was able to fit my EK 360mm P-series rad in with 120mm fans no problem. There is about 1mm to spare between the center platform and the bottom fan. I went Micro ATX and somewhat regret it. Should have gone Mini-ITX. There is just so little room to route cables around a Micro-ATX mobo. But with some patience it all works. And looks damn good.

Mr Gear Seeker, when you have some time, is it possible for you to set the radiator fans to push & compare the CPU temperatures to the results when you had the fans set to pull? It would be interesting to see the difference.

they wanted to create a unique enclousure, that stands out and they really had good ideas. however, by cutting the retail-price at around 100dollar in the end of the day its just a flimsy plastic, steel, glas-box that can not be considered a serious enclousure for system builders. its a toy for kids. after 3 years the plastic top will change colour and dust will burn in. parts will start breaking when moving around or trying to upgrade the system. No thanks. I think a 200dollar price tag is needed today to get something solid and timeless.
