I wonder if you we let with the Noctua D12, lower height, then you would be able to reinstall the radiator bracket and add a 120mm exhaust fan at the top over the SSD card area.

Exactly

In fact this is a slower version of what next consoles will become. And it's inspiring. 2028 consoles most likely will be built on RDNA 5 and Zen 6 with 2 nm process. All of these products are planned on 2026-27

[@lukaszgapinski6452]

It doesnt matter what consoles are gonna be in future if developers will keep releasing unoptimized games such as gotham knights. Also pc areny going to stand in one place so keep that in mind

[@cyrilA.]

​@fundamentalone I really hope the are Pro versions ! You can't suck 8 years on the same hardware

[@ThereIsOnlyOneRandom]

​@@ek2who source or GTFO, looks like you have no idea what you talking about, new process? Let's say consoles can use latest RDNA technology, but for what costs? Sony and M$ they always taking what is affordable, to be said never latest processing, from year's they stuck on few years old nm processing as it's always adorable, and engineering dude knows how much he can push outdated components, ps5 and Xbox SX are made on RDNA2 custom chips where soon we have RDNA4, if AMD will made RDNA8 to 2028 then yes we may see 4-5 on new consoles, they should focus more on CPU with new generation as the ram which they using rn will be fine for next 7 years alongside storage speeds, so next console should have better CPU and GPU and double the amount of RAM and that's it, affordable as they like, I would expect something at mid range pc, as upcoming ps5 pro will be still much slower than an RTX3090, leak's suggest 24Tf, and RTX has 30tf, so the power of ps5 is basically 4060, and CPU will be the same as it is with 10% boost in clock speed which is still too low to make BG3 run at stable 60fps, now CPU is needed as developers won't give a F with optimization as people are buying games anyway so they don't care, you want flawless FPS then get best components.

[@7Zenki]

Hey nice Vid, just an update. I build my 2000d and installed the Noctua NH D-15 with both fans. The trick is to install a 90 degrees PSU 24 pin adapter, the you can fit the front fan

[@RyoshiLastName]

did you use slim fans?

[@AnthonyMalesys]

Definitely my favorite ITX case ever made. Just bought one and MAN this case is beautiful !

[@zehpalhares3992]

i also think a fan on the top would make this case so good, like a 140 or even 200 mm would take all the hot air out.

[@maximus3294]

wow, that cooler compatability is really something

[@sevaeron]

Corsair strangely lists the max CPU cooler support as 90mm on their website. even with a 360mm AIO and standard thickness fans you'd still have 115mm. idk how they got to this number. -- I posted this before i got to that point in the video lmao. didn't notice Devyn also said that

[@Dydou974]

Well thank you. You made me give up on the idea of water cooling and made nearly the same pc. Less expensive and it looks amazing ! Love it 😁

[@sunraiii]

Great build and great points at the end. Really hope Corsair will launch a V2 ASAP with a top fan, properly routed PSU cable and 25mm fan support for the front. A lot of stuff just seems like an afterthought on this case, although the aesthetic is amazing.

[@illdar22]

I have made a Thermaltake tower 200 build with the matx, 4090 and ASSASSIN III from DeepCool. All hot air goes from top and all the connections are on the top side, so maybe their design is better one than we have seen from Corsair in this video

[@kevinm8715]

The things that you want in this case were in the original design. Look at the Origin PC Chronos prebuilts, they show what the original configuration is. You can also see it in a JayzTwoCents video (the title was something about an SFF case that fits a 360mm AIO). But Corsair cound out that hanging the GPU from the top like that would lead to issues with the vapor chambers of some GPUs not working, so at the last minute they flipped the design upside down. Now most of the complaint points (bottom exhaust instead of top, strange PSU and cable routing, GPU pulling air in from the rear) are because they are the reverse of what was originally intended. There does need to be a V2 of this case because as they sell it now they don't make a great use of all of that volume.

[@BigFx]

@@kevinm8715 Glad I found this comment ... I did not build a PC for 7 years, but it's time to upgrade so started shopping for a case, and wondered why it looks different between JayZ video and what I see at local shop. Now it makes more sense, thanks

[@kensg]

Darn bruh, I wasn't going to build a new box until Christmas..But now I got that itch... Beautiful Build👍🏾

[@idkidkk4410]

You made a not well received PC case look really good.

[@wesreegaming]

Man your editing skills are amazing.

[@Alp577]

FYI you can use the SF750 with 4090 paired with 7800X3D. The SF750 can handle up to 900W with no issue.

[@salvattorepoggi8440]

I love this build. Im saving up to build something similar, if not the same, to this.

[@joebones1]

Looks like the 200D predecessor, that’s cool.

[@tongoso]

Simply incredible, crazy performance and aesthetics, you should try to build in the FormD T1 in the future! Thank you for the additional info, new games testing and the sound test., those are all super helpful

[@Metamine0]

Agreed. I'd love to see a Dan A4 build as well

[@ktvx.94]

Other than being vertical, this is my ideal future PC: ITX, uncompromising performance, and air cooled. Thanks for proving it's possible!

[@MrNathan07]

I love mini itx cases, if I were to do one like this I'd go the air cooling route myself vs a noisy aio cooler they're good but I just prefer the simplicity of air cooling & I'd go 100% no rgb.

[@LionelGeek]

Oooh... thanks for sharing. LOVE that case. I'm still using an AM4 rig I built in 2019 and will soon be upgrading to a 5800X3D. After that though, I could definitely see using the 2000D for my next one when I'm ready to go to AM5. Agree with your rig choices. Big fan of the Dominator RAM series and was already thinking about using the Chromax Noctua DH-15 with my CPU upgrade... love that look, especially since it does its job well!

[@dauletbaimagamabet]

Even though your builds aren't the most power yielding, they are extremely satisfying :3

[@DarkNia64]

I dig the layout of the case, but wouldn't the airflow work better if it were upside down? The default configuration has the heat from the CPU/GPU exhausting downward.

[@RyoshiLastName]

Flip the cooler fan around

[@fraser-b3494]

Thanks, thanks a lot for making me feel really bad about my cable management 🤣🤣

[@kaderacing3895]

Gotta say Devyn another sick build ,that is so Clean ,wish I had the cash to build a nice rig like that ,,GPU’s pretty expensive still ,, Keep up the great work buddy ,commentary was good aswell ,Very Informative,Well done again 👍👍

[@dizzzave357]

I would say that as released the case is a 8/10 and if they make a few tweaks it could really be a 10/10 case. #1. Fit 25mm thick fans in the front. There is nobody buying this case who wants to trade normal sized fans for the case being a tiny bit shorter front to back. 15mm slim fans are much more limited in options, both from Corsair and 3rd parties. #2. Run the power cable internally. There is more than enough space for it and the velcroed cable on the back looks incredibly cheap and poorly designed. #3. Add a second USB-C to the front panel. The I/O on this case is incredibly difficult to access so having more front connections is essential. There is plenty of space for an additional USB port.

[@wingandaprayer883]

Refreshing and nice to see a pc build which is not totally emasculated with RGB light nonsense.

[@vintage0x]

just discovered you, Devyn. You're a great filmmaker with really good taste and sense of aesthetics. I can see the influence of a particular australian small form factor youtuber, but you absolutely have your own style. bravo!

[@TheOmegaAlfa]

Haven’t seen nicer assembly video I looong time. Very interesting build too, I was concerned I never find replacement for my huge case.

[@SethOmegaful]

Nice video, but I have a constructive criticism to share: Since its a case overview and building video, temperatures and noise are more relevant than gpu+cpu performance when playing a game. I know you put temps in the overlays during gameplay, but I'm more interested in whole system noise and temperature while on load. We all know 7800x3d and 4080 perform well together. So, maybe include other temp sensors in your "case benchmark". Peace!

[@Yummeh]

Woah I like how you used the mouse as a comparison for the audio, makes the numbers so much more understandable.

[@Plagues138]

I wonder if a side mounted exhaust fan would make the temps even better

[@audioexperience]

incredible amount of value in this video

[@combosx]

This is Dark Gold!!!

[@Menyooo111]

I keep coming back to this video finally sold on getting this over the hyte revolt. Was debating whether I want AIO or an Air Cooler will be trying the deepcool AK620

[@lifebidesign]

Memory Speed supported for the AMD 7800x3d is 5200mhz. It's the sweet spot for it no need to get anything faster memory.

[@s-nooze]

I liked the build. I want to put my new 7800x3d into an itx system. I think I am going to go with this same motherboard but something about this case...I'm not quite sold. I can't decide between this big one or going for something more compact like the Hyte Revolt or the SSUPD Meshroom. Decisions, decisions...

[@thanasysdim]

That was a gorgeous build. I feel my eyes rested upon it. I think the choice of components compliments greatly this slick itx case.

[@LeandroSFx]

It was the first video that Used an air cooler and this noctua really did great. Thanks!

[@Astrumplayez]

That cooler is super pretty. omg

[@RommySalami]

I would argue that Arctic Cooling, Thermalright and Thermaltake make similar performance fans to Noctua for much cheaper. That being said, I have all Noctua fans in my secondary PC and own their hoodies and deskmat lol. I won't deny liking Noctua.

[@carlosnumbertwo]

This is exactly what I want to build. Thank you.

[@neddy170]

Awesome looking build!!

[@gerardalsitab]

Such low temps on that x3d chip amazing!! Mines are between 65-70ºC gaming at 4k with an RTX 4090 on a cooler master nr200p max case with a 280 AIO

[@BaronWuffet]

What about the anthena cables? Where did you route them?

[@HardwareFRA]

Verry clean video, keep it up !

[@ValentinoNicko]

My only gripe with this type of case is that the the motherboard port is on awkward position to access easily, otherwise a perfect case because I prefer vertical alignment for PC case. Currently leaning more on Fractal Ridge, but felt really pushing the limit. Slightly larger Fractal Ridge would be the dream for me.

[@yatut4467]

Check the NZXT H1 V2

[@jp71889]

Enjoyed the video and the build, nice job man. Wasn’t aware of this case when I started planning my current build but it’s exactly what I was looking for.

[@itsdeonlol]

Clean PC & that cooler is nice!

[@Wistbacka]

1) How does the airflow go? You press in air from three fans, but where is the exhaust? 2) is a founder's card preferable for this kind of build compared to a third party custom cooler? 3) is impossible to fit in a second 150mm noctua cpu fan?

[@guanhuali1059]

1) Go the AIO route, front fans intake, use the side AIO to exhaust. Corsair cases are always AIO oriented. 2) No, you are baking your PSU with that pass through fan on your FE card.

[@gulasmanis]

nice temp solid case awesome

[@sobangcha3042]

I love your sff content man, keep it up!!!

[@mjsolomon]

Would you recommend installing the air cooler on the motherboard before putting the motherboard in the case?

[@Daniel-vs5cl]

I think the ASUS Pro Art 4080 would've also looked nice in there.

[@arjunvijan9561]

Its an amazing build. Pls do more builds like this, ITX case with Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black cooler.

[@gereltsetsegdondogdorj2681]

[@Machistmo]

Noctua, Fractal, AMD, EVGA. Quality manufacturers that stand behind their products. Corsair is good too, ThermaTake

[@midfidelity7180]

Ca you try mounting the top 12025 as exhaust instead of intake? The current setup is just pushing cool air in for no real cooling benefit

[@bananajoe9951]

Where did you put the fan hub?

[@robbieforrister2795]

It's nice to not have to worry about fitting the GPU and cooling issues

[@Eddinski]

IMO the case horizontal to the table looks dope 😅

[@xXGe0rgEXx]

Height is free real estate on desks so cases like this make a lot of sense.

[@anonymous4gent]

I'm not a pc builder, but I ALWAYS keep 2 extra Sata cables with 90 degree connectors in my drawer.

[@L3nny666]

if you use the nh-d15 for aesthetics you should definitely use the heat sink covers

[@hd-be7di]

Looks nice but the air-flow path is too restrictive especially with how the CPU cooler is oriented.. 2 of those front 120mm fans are pretty much blocked. I'll pass.

[@MeatNinja]

Can you explain why full 25 mm fans don't fit in the front? When I look at it (0:29 for example) it looks like they should be able to fit. I'm considering recreating this build and I really want to know 😅

[@RyoshiLastName]

The fans pretty much press on the motherboard at that point.

[@daniyouyou]

I loke the case, i like air coolers but im not feel confort of the airflow with this case with an air cooler, all the hear goes to the mainboard? Fornthe AIO tubes canto go down a 280 would be perfect

[@danieletagliasco]

Honestly we can say that nh-d15 it’s the wrong choice. Because it comes with 2 fan but you can use only one. So it would be more honest saying that nhd15s was the right choice. I bought also a gigabyte 650i and the mounting -7mm it’s not possible due to high ssd dissipator. That one was my fault. Exept the first point it was a great video that I used to assemble my corsair 2000D. Thank you

[@SUNIT052]

I'm really keen to hear opinions on this case versus the Hyte Revolt 3 for full air cooling : - on paper both seem designed for AIO water cooling (and it seems many Revolt 3 reviews don't think air cooling in it is a good idea) - but because of the classic layout, both cases can sacrifice radiator space to use tower cpu coolers, which simply cannot be done in other vertical cases which are pretty much all sandwich layout - for eg, cpu air cooling in a Jonsbo VR3 or Meshroom S requires a ~70mm cpu cooler and the radiator space is wasted, even with case fans - furthermore, it seems that there aren't any other widely available vertical SFF cases which accomodate tower CPU coolers - it seems there is a lot of criticism of the 2000d for overall size and lack of space efficiency - so isn't the Revolt 3 a "better" 2000D for full air cooling in the sense that it is smaller while still accomodating tower CPU coolers? - or is this just an "on paper" comparison that fails to take into account real life factors (such as layout and airflow paths)

[@nsa5]

Nice video, would’ve been great if it had more b roll shots of the final build

[@dancoways]

the DH15 is 165mm, how much clearance does that leave between the side panel? - Would you say the Dark Rock Pro 5 at 168mm will also fit?

[@HardwareFRA]

Looking like Optimum's content, it's really good !

[@sergeikulikov4412]

Isn't it suboptimal that cpu cooler fan faces up instead of being co-aligned with case intake fans? 🤔

[@arturorapaful]

maybe its worth to spin the first fan as outtake and not intake.. because the GPU air can be exhaust or not ?

[@vdbmario]

This is one sick build! Amazing job

[@owenbenedictpangan3553]

Just a question if i buy this case and use the phanteks t30 fans would it have enough clearance to fit?

[@5amba]

I don't think it's a nice looking case, but I hope this will finally kick off the vertical ITX hype train. We need more choices for this form factor.

[@evaun1t165]

Just bought mine on sale for $60!! Excited to build it out

[@classy558]

CPU and GPU temps are great. Other videos showed that GPU temps got to 80 C. What did you do to achieve good cooling?

[@R1ckyZer0]

Maybe because they use AIO cooler? I might be wrong, but AIO cooler tend to restrict airflow with it's radiator, and since usually the fans for the radiator sets as intake, the heat from the radiator can heats up the interior and possibly effecting GPU too. If you wanna use AIO, make sure u have a great airflow to exhaust it's heat.

[@puggiepugpugpug7563]

Is this air cooler better than a corsair h150i 360mm aio ?? Im about to build something same as yours.

[@guiT39]

Why didn't you use a 4090 for this build? would it fit? What's the GPU width clearance ?

[@rsher_digital-art]

Can you remend a build specifically for Blender a compute-intensive 3D app. Case size is secondary to performance.

[@daunted232]

I tried similar, but with a xfx 7900xtx, the gpu just was hot pretty much all the time, even with the front fans at 70%, it just felt like the air was not escaping the case.

[@JBK-w5u]

the 4000 series card have a blower system that match well with this case that blows all the hot air out the back

Sooo technically, the NH-U12A is gonna fit in this case right? I just want to make sure cause I'm planning to migrate from 4000D to 2000D without changing the cooler.

[@JackTotGaming]

I was thinking the same. I just ordered the case and I am going to try migrating from a NZXT H5 Flow as I have been looking to get back to ITX. I will hopefully build this later this week

[@kail182]

For the Noctua, why not remove the graphics card and put it at the end? Very good video in any case, I'm thinking of doing the same thing!!!

[@markotto1767]

Why using tool for noctua fan instead mounting the fan before case side panel fans ?

[@javadoc5600]

This build is amazing. Do you know if it also works with a Dark Rock Pro 5? Also, I have a RTX 2060 with only 2 fans, is it possible to add a fan on top of it to increase airflow? Regards

[@donaldexley1852]

So I just bought this case as it was on sale for under 60 bucks. I like the idea of using air cooling, was thinking of using a Mugan 5 or Fuma 3 (as I already own both) which would allow the side bracket to be used for at least 1 fan at the top or possibly the middle one. Might even go shorter to allow slim fans on the side. This route seemed to help with the heat issues with a none founders addition GPU (have a Sapphire 7900xt or EVGA 3080 depending on how well this cools the GPU). I know this is really old video, but did you test that system with a non founders edition to see how much worse it cooled if at all?
