Wanted to thank you for all 3 videos you made on this case. My build was a Z690-G, 12700K, AK620 air cooler and a Founders Edition 4090. I also 3d printed some fan joiners so I could use 3 cheap Thermalright rgb fans in the bottom and of course 3 in the top at reduced speed and used fan clips I already had to add the fan included in the case to the rear of the air cooler.

[@tr.o.ubadour6559]

Very in depth overview, well done. Regarding the PSU, I found out, a good indicator for you to see where the power-connector extension plug will be oriented to: From the three pins in the socket, the middle one is the one, where the cable will be oriented towards once plugged in. So make sure, before buying a PSU that the middle pin is further from the fan side of the PSU so the cable will be oriented towards the inside of the case. This is also important to look out for on some PSUs where the socket is turned 90 degrees such as the BeQuiet PurePower ATX 3.0 with which the cable will be oriented towards the side panel, but you probably won’t have the space to close the side panel. This somewhat limits the choice of PSU, so it would be nice of Asus to at least offer replacement cables oriented the other way or even not angled ones.

Hi GoblinPhreak, welcome to my channel and good to hear you like this case with your build. Your info is greatly appreciated and I believe it will be useful for the rest too.

[@FedForsberg]

First off, great video! I have been thinking about getting this chassi. However, I have some concerns that dust will build up quickly because of the mesh (and only one dust filter). Because the dust filter is in the bottom, would it be ideal to have air intake there and outtake at the top and/or the sides?

[@KleoYan]

Hello Fredrik Forsberg, welcome to my channel. The concern about the dust, if regular cleaning is done, maybe 2 weeks once with a portable blower, that will keep dust away. Now as for the bottom yes, it’s ideal to have it intake to prevent more dust to draw into then case as there is a dust filter at the bottom.

[@Digmen1]

I am so pleased to see cases without tempered glass. And with good cable managemen and no ARG lights etc. But I need to install 2 SSD drives and 2 sata Hard drives!

[@KleoYan]

Hi DigNap15, welcome to my channel. for SSD drives, it should not be an issue, the only concern are the 2 x 3.5" HDD. Yes you are able to fit at the bottom, but your GPU might be drawing warm air directly from your 3.5" HDD.

[@Richardowmaaiin]

Great overlook of the case. If you have an ATX PSU you can flip it freely for exhaust or intake. Just make sure there is enough space for the cable coming out

[@KleoYan]

Hi Poplo, welcome to my channel. Thank you for your feedback. It will still depend on the hole outlet of the PSU. There are some ATX PSU which the hole outlet nearing to the rim. It will not be as flexible to flip. Again, thank you for sharing. 👍

@@giale2777 to be honest u won’t go wrong with either but I prefer the MSI a1000g, it’s cwt build and the cables are flat. Easy cable management over the Corsair. I do like Corsair psu but their thick sleeve cables turns me off. Hard to bend.

For the Arctic thick radiators... you can replace the fans with slim fans. It will then take up the same width of a regular radiator with regular fans.

[@KleoYan]

Hi TofuGuru, welcome to my channel. Yes you can do that but it will affect in lowering the temperature. The thick radiator will need high static pressure fans to get rid of the heat from the fin stack. Nevertheless thank you for the suggestion. 👍

[@tofuguru941]

@@KleoYan Hey! Yes. Static pressure fans are best for radiator applications for sure! I have had great success cooling a syst with an RTX 3090 and an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3D with PBO "enabled" with the following details: Cooler is an Arctic 280 aio. I used 2 x Jonsbo HF1415 (140mm x 15mm) Here are their specs: FDB ball bearing Up to 1650rpm (excellent for q 140mm) Up to 76 CFM Up to 1.8 mmH2O air pressure Current: Fan - 0.3A 12V Led - 0.23A 5V The air coming through the radiator is quite strong!

Good review bro

[@KleoYan]

Hello สกลกร เนตรสีขาว, welcome to my channel and thank you for your feedback.

[@NGreedia]

I've had mine for a few weeks, and it's my new favorite case. I can't see myself going back tk a standard atx case, especially whwn i get enough features in matx boards. My board is an msi pro b550m vc-wifi which uses the top most slot for gpu so i was able to mount bottom fans without issue. Other boards like an msi b650 mortar have it located lower so triple alot cards will be very close to the bottom of the case. I had to put the psu in the middle position so that the top 3 fans didn't get in the way of the power supply extension cable. Also, the top most velcro cable tie is useless as no cables actually reach that high

[@PyromancerRift]

They could have increased the price by 5 bucks and add a filter for the front part. Because the case will always be negative pressure it will suck in air from the front and possibly the sides. But the front will probably suck more as it is helped by the PSU and it is closer to the ground.

[@KleoYan]

Hi Clown World, welcome to my channel. Thank you for your feedback. I feel that this case is meant to design in such a way for more ventilation. Having dust filters is a good idea but there will be restriction of airflow, but then again, will have to compromise by dust entering the case itself.

[@kengur3403]

Hey, I have a same case and sometimes I hear pulsating sound. We replaced power supply, liquid cooler and still when on silent fan option something is pulsating, a little less on normal fan mode. Any ideas?

[@KleoYan]

Hi Kengur, welcome to my channel. hmm pulsating, it could be the bottom fans where you mount them. try lift up with a spacer, see if that helps. As what I experience is, due to the bottom is not a through hole but with small holes. Is like when you whistle through your lips when it's narrow, it gives a pitch. This apply to the bottom fans that are drawing air through the small holes.

Hi Maramreddy Rohan Reddy, welcome to my channel, it’s going to push the cable toward your motherboard as the space between the bottom fans and the motherboard is rather narrow for the 3.2 front I/O connect.

I guess they bought a supply of already existing cables for cheaper but designing their own with a shallower and straight plug would have been so much better. I want to put a monter GPU inside it and a 360 radiator on top, i need to put the SFX PSU on the second placement and the only annoying thing is the plug.

[@KleoYan]

Hi Clown World, welcome back. This I do agree with you. the plug should have been slimer as positioning the PSU can be tricky when you place a Liquid aio at the top.

is it possible to put ATX motherboard (30.5x24.4cm) into Ap201 ?

[@KleoYan]

Hi Aidin Shamsi, welcome to my channel, this is a m-atx case which only have motherboard standoff for m-atx or itx. It will not fit. As to confirm with you, I did try with my ASRock X670E Steel Legend ATX board with measurement of 30.5 x 24.4cm. it does not fit at all.

Hello scripter173, welcome to my channel. So sorry to say that this case model does not come with tempered glass. If there is tempered glass version, I dont think you can place highend processor and GPU as temperature will be very hot.

I was about to purchase this case as future proof for RTX40's or RX70's series due to 3 or even 4 slots gpus . Seeing your in detail explanations I am concerned about a potential gpu length of 350mm, until now I was convinced that raising the PSU case to a higher level would make room for gpu length up to 380mm. In fact there was another pc builder that fixed a 4090 Strix in this case by using a Silverstone 1000W SFX PSU. Currently I have a 280mm Arctic Freezer AIO and I am wondering if it fits with my Mini Itx motherboard. There is not VRAM heatsink here, what do you think, it will fit? Great review btw, much appreciated.

[@KleoYan]

Hi Manita, welcome to my channel. If you are using a SFX power supply. You should have no issues but your Silverstone is a SFX-L. It might be real tight mounting the 4090 Strix. Now as for the Arctic 280 LF2. The concern is the VRM heatsink of your ITX motherboard. So just make sure you have enough clearance.

[@KleoYan]

​@@KleoYan Hello again. I purchased a 330 mm GPU, this will fit in max length. Now I need a powerful PSU, so I found a good priced one ( EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W) but it has 18 cm length. What would be your advice for this from a PSU vs 280mm Arctic Freezer 2 AIO?

[@Christian_Ky]

The new 7900 XTX Gigabyte is 331mm @15:12. Hard to find a good ITX case. Sadly GPUs getting again longer....

Hi Christian K, welcome to my channel. I do agree with you on the GPU lenght. Thank you for your feedback too.

[@armagedon515]

Thanks. Where is the "reset" button ? Where it the HD activity light ? No excuse to dispense of those to save a few bucks.

[@KleoYan]

Hi armagedon515, welcome to my channel. Thank you for your feedback. will email asus about that.

[@armagedon515]

Actually I found that you can plug the Pled wires of the case into the HDD activity motherboard connector (make sure of correct polarity). I found that the square light around the power switch is more useful that way. If you have any lite fan, you can see if the system is ON anyway.

Hello sir I'm your old subscriber , I have a doubt my CPU ez debug light blinks once after shutting down and slow boot, somebody told me it's due to CMOS battery. I'm planning to change CMOS battery will this resolve the issue ? Once my CPU heated upto 108degrees and then shutdown automatically since then I'm having this issue. I took replacement for my AMD RYZEN 5600X thinking it would resolve but it's still there. Will buying a new CMOS battery fix it ?

[@KleoYan]

Hello YKR, welcome back, before you grab the new CMOS battery, have you tried these method. 1) turn off your PC, turn off the AC outlet to your PSU, unplug the AC cable which is to your PSU, leave it unplug for 45 seconds, plug back and power on. see if your ez debug still blink 2) if 1) does not work, have you tried clear CMOS, if clear CMOS does not work, off your PC first, turn off your PSU, press the power button few times to discharge the current that is holding in your motherboard. remove the CMOS battery, wait for 30seconds, plug back the CMOS and power up your PC. If these does not work and to check if your CMOS battery is failing, download it here www.hwinfo.com/download/ , launch and select Sensors-only, one you get a stat box pops up, scroll down to your motherboard model where it shows all the voltage, look for VBAT. if the VBAT is lower than 3.2volts, then go grab and change your CMOS battery. the model for this battery is CR2032. if by getting a replacement still does not work, I would advise you to RMA your motherboard, let the motherboard brand technician to diagnose your issue.

Sir need urgent help as i had told you regarding my PCs issue in the past comment. I replaced my GPU with a new one via replacement. Now my PC is restarting automatically each time i run any graphics intensive game and each time the restart happens my XMP profiles and fan curves are restored to default, what could be the cause? I think it might be the PSU or it might be Mobo ? Please help me i don't know how to test PSU .

[@KleoYan]

Hello, YKR, welcome back, disable your XMP profile and to run your games, see does it restart automatically. If it does that tells is not your rams, next, with XMP profile enable, check the voltage in HWinfo, see if those voltage check out as in 12volt reel, 5volt, 3volt VSB and the 3.5Volt VBAT. illustrated here i.imgur.com/CZoMhvP.png make sure the voltage either mathes close to what they suppose to read. espcially the 5volt and the 3.5volt VBAT. 5volt reel is your standby. if it's below 4.7 then there might be issue with your mobo and other is the 3.5volt VBAT, this indicate your CMOS battery. make sure is near 3.5volts and not below 3.4volts. if above all ok, then I have no idea what's going on. it could be the game bug or something.

​@@IntuitiveLegend777I can only guide you with the basics. what's the bios version of your motherboard? it is up to date? if it is, are your rams 32G? run only 1 stick if that's the case. test it. .if it does not work, swap to another stick. this might narrow down to your rams. if it does not, do you have another ram sticks to test iit out?
