That case has better airflow than most big tower cases. Good job!

[@rainerbehrendt9330]

it has. I drive it with 2 Bottom and 2 Top Fans plus 1 in the Rear and the big Noctua DH-15 Cooler. That is my Work PC built mostly with the Components from my first Gaming PC after the Upgrade of CPU and GPU plus RAM and PSU. All i needed was the Fans (all Noctua) and a Motherboard and Storage. Cool and Silent, all Black and all Mesh. No RGB at all. The Ryten 3700x and the RTX 2070 Super are more than cool. In Fact the Bottom Fans are more than enough for cooling the GPU alone.

[@Derangolicious]

Damn dude, you going places with those production skills and chill personality. That was satisfying. My fav case, too

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

🤙

[@iluvdwebble]

I've got a ryzen 5 7600 and an RX 6650XT in my ap201, I love this case.

[@interstellarmongoose]

How aren't you way bigger on youtube? This video is amazing. One of the best build videos ive ever seen.

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

💪

[@ghosttype9809]

the initial stare looked me directly into my soul. The build is beautiful btw man!

[@danebeee1]

Just like Mr. Matt lee I was subbed to him when he only had a few thousand subs, now he has over 100k. Pretty sure the same will be true for you man. Well done, videos look great!!

[@monfreign]

love the awkward and unserious bits lmao, sick build tho! 🔥

[@castanagajt]

Everything is perfect, sound, lighting, background, build, and narrative.

[@kyleh4985]

Man your build videos are a joy to watch

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Thanks. Can I ask what you specifically like about them? I'm experimenting over the next few videos to see what people like.

[@eddyx92x5]

Man this video is amazing. The building process with the music, great work!

[@WilliamHolmes420]

Another great video! Everything was on point. Maybe at the end you could throw in a 3DMark time Spy test score, Just to show how the Build performs. People like to see what a build like this can do. Great video my man!

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Good suggestion. I'll definelty do that for upcoming build videos.

[@EdgarGrefve]

love the low + red lighting throughout the video creates a nice atmosphere 😍

[@atasel]

Just got this case to build a 7800xt + 7800x3d in, rest of the components are ASUS too so it's gonna be my AMD ASUS build. Can't wait. Your video was really usefull since my last build was in 2017 and one forgets a lot of small details. Cheers.

[@ltshazaam]

Good music, good tone of voice (very soothing), good presentation. I'd suggest more light for dark builds. I know it looks cooler this way, but ..

[@ltshazaam]

Also.. you may need a Gimbal when filming.

[@genx156]

Installing the CPU "The most stressful" Noooo - that would be "Cable Management" depending on how many RGB fans your using 🤣🤣

[@sagirem]

It’s terrifying that this is 80% of the build that I’m planning

[@Lurch-Bot]

I just did a build in a white AP201 to sell. Specs were lower. 5500/6600. It performed better than I expected, particularly the GPU, a Power Color Fighter. It met the benchmark average for both the 3060 and the 6650XT out of the box. Was like 15% better than the early 6600 I used to have. The build turned out really nice and I don't personally like the white trend. It really doesn't work where I live because we have a lot of fine mineral dust that builds up quickly and it would just end up looking dingy after a few months, even with dusting. I would have to strip the case and wash it every couple of months for it to stay white. I didn't realize they made AP201s with a tempered glass panel. I wouldn't use one because I am selling online and it would be logistically difficult to deal with a glass panel getting broken in shipping. I got the mesh one. I think with a 50% IPC uplift projected for Zen 5, 600 series boards may not perform as well with those CPUs as they will in 700 series boards. Also, DDR5 is still immature and will take another year or two for it to be significantly better than DDR4. You may run into speed limitations down the line upgrading a 600 series. Doing a build to sell, it probably won't even be relevant because people who buy prebuilt gaming PCs probably won't be trying to upgrade anyway. More likely to just buy another PC and sell the old one. But it still represents cost bloat, going with Zen 4. And especially with putting an AIO on a midrange build. If I use an air cooler, I can be reasonably certain it is probably going to still be functional in 5 years whereas you can't expect that from a cheap 240mm AIO. I've been building PCs for 30 years. Future proofing is a myth. A 5800X3D rig would have performed better in gaming than the 7800X. The 7800X3D has what I would call an insignificant performance uplift from the 5800X3D. And I would have got the 7900GRE instead of the 7800XT. Roughly the same price, when you OC the VRAM, the 7900GRE will be noticeably better because of substantially more CUs.

[@OntarioGuy430]

I used the AP201 mesh and thought it was great - but found my temps higher than I expected so I moved to an O11 Dynamic. I have missed the smaller case and I just ordered the glass AP201 version with hopes that the solid side panel helps direct air to components better. This video helped me decide to buy the case! (again) - Also in Canada! (Ontario)

[@bogatiiplays]

And are the temps ok now with glass side panel?

[@OntarioGuy430]

@@bogatiiplays Temps were good - I now have an H6 Flow which I really like - it has the best temps out of the 3 - in my use case at least

[@SethOmegaful]

great case and damn... I love these radeon gpu design. Its beautiful and elegant.

[@vicvondark]

That´s my dream PC build, great job.

[@dalemckee2]

The Mr. Matt Lee got me 😅

[@Sikunder524]

I am is bande ka fan

[@withmygoodeyeclosed]

I was actually wondering how the LF III 240 fit exactly in this case so this video was very helpful.

[@josephfoley3230]

I just started on doing a similar build. Thank you for the info especially with the power supply part. That left me completely confused. I spent basically all day trying to figure mine out but will finish it up tomorrow.

[@arctic_void]

I built mine a couple months ago, r/ mffpc was great help, many builds there use this case and the community is helpful.

[@Sarge-R1]

so satisfying see you build i have the same passion with a new build the whole experince of getting the parts ato put it to getter a great feeling

[@viktor821]

Really enjoyed this build, you definitely deserve more subs! 😊

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Appreciate it. Thx for watching

[@jia046]

great video! straight to the point and clean. really excited to pick up this case and move to a smaller pc!

[@enmaenmaenma123]

so good production. i know you'll go places someday!

[@Moonlight-zp5rj]

I build my PC in ASUS AP201 last Aug. A basic build for 1080p gaming, streaming and editing. Hope to upgrade my GPU if things work out well with channel. 😅 2 months ago my EVGA 450w PSU busted which I replaced with a 500w from a local brand

[@akhiljose9506]

Nice video. Most of the KZbinrs skip the cable management part.

[@HypoCT]

Found your channel by chance while looking at that Tower 300 case. Subbed. These videos are great, but I'm surprised you didn't test these systems you built. You should though.

[@michealdufresne5509]

i was very unsure of these kind of Design approaches to cabinets at first,i did think Thermals have been overlooked just make a small footprint happen,i found the PSU placement..odd & just wrong too,something about it i essentially had to abandon my idea of what a Default System Look like to understand & Accept this & now it does make sense.. it might just be all i need it It might be Exactly what i need & such cases have One HDD bay too so that is also a big plus,maybe there can be a cut out on the side panel to accomodate a CD player even to place one instead of the HDD,lots of ideas,lots of possibilties Loving this thing

[@magooch5]

One of the best vids yet brotha.

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

🤘

[@chiptoothtech4937]

GREAT CAMERA WORK AND VIDEO! I'M ALSO PLANNING TO BUILD IN THIS CASE!

[@epistimonas35]

this is the most helpfull video i have seen

[@PLAYER2035]

be good to see thermal performance results after build

[@cynicram]

Pretty good video, the bits were pretty funny as well.

[@arctic_void]

Great build! Very similar to mine. I'm on am4. Currently I'm looking into getting the arctic fans and cooler, a 7900 gre nitro+ and an rgb controller (because asrock rgb is horrible). Was thinking about a 280 radiator though, to completely fill up the top when the psu is in the top position, since I need the room for an hdd.

[@paulbarriosduque1101]

Looking clean, thanks. Can you set a 3rd fan at the bottom?

[@cleaneraz09]

Cannot wait until I get my identical set except I will get 4070s and 9600x. My set will be fully white and the case fully mesh.

[@BlackCat-cf5vx]

Keep it going man... It's awesome... ❤

[@bbawalan]

just had the same build a couple of weeks ago except some of the parts are different but the rad the cpu and the case are all the same! It is kinda easy to build in that case, I would suggest that get a smaller psu if you are using a longer gpu.

[@phatape]

Im gonna buy this but im using a 4070ti msi ..i think its a bit longer than yours, meaning i would have to move the powersupply up a notch right

[@PalmTree.]

this video is exactly what i was looking for, though i was wondering if it's better to use static pressure fans or airflow fans as the bottom intake for this case

[@hudoUtinkUR]

great video, considering this build

[@zrtovx]

hey man you think i could use the 7700xt on the same motherboard no problem? cuz im kinds new 😅

[@tom4od]

I’m new to PC building and was wondering why you didn’t go for the 360mm water cooler if it fits and is a similar price?

[@GT43632]

This 240mm better than other than 360mm Cooler.

[@Vialli100.]

At last another AMD build 😁 Mine is a Ryzen 9 5900x, Tuf RX 6700 XT, Tuf x570 Pro, 32gb G-Skill TridentZ neo 3600, DC LT720 AIO, Antec Titanium 1000w PSU, Lian Li o11 Evo..

[@xWRIXONx]

This case slaps! What temps are you getting on the 7900xt under full load? thinking of getting it I have a xtx same model thats not getting the airflow it deserves in my thermal take S100

[@WskyTngoFxt]

Could a sapphire 7900xt pulse fit ? My build is similar except for the graphics card

[@ral2793]

how long is the clearance from top of the case to the motherboard? planning to buy this one however i'm having a second thought if it will fit my asus rog strix b760-g arctic freezer ii 280mm and the ram g.skill trident neo z. Will it fit?

[@chillinthailand]

I just saw this case here in Bangkok for $70.00. I'm not interested in RGB, so I'm going to buy the mesh sided version, rather than the glass sided one.

[@unclem4626]

Good job on the audio levels! The background volume didn't overpower the vocals.

[@TheHoardingPeon]

i wish you'D showed what it looked like once the mesh panel closed. :(

[@TemaOvchinnikov]

Will Noctua NH D15 fit ASRock PG Riptide B650m?

[@UNIX32]

That is a really nice computer you have there. I am thinking of doing a video on my new build this weekend. It would be awesome if you made a Discord server for this channel, as it will help you to grow more, and also give other people like me to show of their PC builds to you.

[@herrysetiadi813]

is it possible to use vertical GPU with this case?

[@dageta7742]

What sapphire is that? It looks just like reference card.

[@l.i.archer5379]

Good, roomy case, but it doesn't have a Reset button nor an HDD LED light.

[@zackarymestroni4252]

0:15 why u staring at me like that bro

[@ChrissyCode]

My Asrock 7900 XTX is very bad, i sent it in for repair/rma for the second time. First a black screen every 10-15s in games, second time coil whine and then black screen leading to not beeing able to boot with the card. I have a good enough psu, with 150-200w headroom so that's not the issue. I figured it could have been due to DISPLAYPORT CABLES. Will find out soon. That doesn't mean it's asrocks fault... but still.. Additionally i must say: First time i waited 57 days to retrieve the card back, now i'm waiting 4+ weeks already and they don't know when it will arrive..

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Dang

[@GT43632]

For amd cards, use xfx, sapphire, Asus, gigabyte cards.

[@robertlucke4964]

Awesome build

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Thanks

[@danb7601]

This case has to be a dust magnet right?

[@sniperoftat]

this case can use 280 cooler?

[@CodeCube-rv1rm]

I'm going to be making a similar build - AP201, R9 7900X/RTX 4070 Ti and an ASRock B650m PG Riptide WiFi, but with a black Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 AIO (taken from my other PC as that's getting an RGB AIO). Inshallah there will be space above the PSU...I'm manifesting that clearance as I type

[@jm7720]

What is your most recommended PC case that you would go with for AMd ryzen 7 7800 x3d and a geforce RTX 4070 TI Super?

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

My fav cases I've built in are the lancool 3 and lancool 216. For micro atx cases I like th ap201 and the thermaltake tower 300. Any modern case with a lot of fans is going to be fine for cooling.

[@jm7720]

Would you recommend this motherboard and cooling unit over the one you did for your friend which was a MSI 650 board. I will be using the following in mine and im not sure if i should go with this or the H6 flow. I will be rocking the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the Thermalright Phantom Spirit EVO 69 CFM CPU Cooler (I may change it to what you have here) and MSI GAMING X SLIM GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB Video Card, and Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory. Do you think all of that will fit in there? By the way this video was fantastic as this will be my 1st build and to see you inserting things made it a lot easier. As for the case, there is someone online who did a temperature test of the H5 vs the H6 and the H6 which has the 45 degree angle made the temp of the CPU and GPU cooler. So there we go. Maybe there is some science to it.

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

This is a micro atx case so if you're planning in using a regular atx motherboard, dont get this case.

[@laturrona69]

yoo this is the exact same pc im planning on building, great

[@vvsYSL]

[@AGeorghiou]

Good quality on the video, a bit dark tho :D

[@Łc丹]

I love how this title is insinuating that an all AMD build is rare, which is unfortunate. Maybe this is because i'm from europe and the prices for NVIDIA GPU's are absolute dogshit, but all AMD PC's are still incredibly underrated. To be fair, this video was awesome so no hard feelings.

[@robertmacdonald345]

SO you took the CL 36 Ram over the CL 30 ?

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

The ram I used for this build is cl30!

[@thenegotiator7243]

Lights and visual quality good, some shots were good some less

[@billtaylor6502]

video quality is great but the lighting is not very good you really need better lighting great video though

[@d4nith3]

Bro just use Seasonic Gold or Platinum ATX 3.0/3.1 because it comes with 12 year warranty and Seasonic is the king among psu's.

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

It's very hard to accept these powder-coated steel cases. That's the sad part about having a Lian-Li case made entirely of brushed and polished aluminum as a reference.

[@t.7527]

And what about the Lian Li A3 ? That’s not polished aluminum

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

@@t.7527 Unfortunately, we are seeing a movement by manufacturers to reduce manufacturing costs by sacrificing the quality of materials and final finish. In my view, Lian Li A3 is an example of Lian-Li's downgrade in terms of finish.
