Really love the recent move to M-ATX cases. Such an underrated form factor. Still somewhat compact without many of the shortcomings off mini itx

[@benjaminshtark5977]

not only that, but to get good Z790 M.ITX motherboard you would need to shell out at least 200$ premium, instead you can get micro ATX mobo for 200$ less with same chipset (z790) and call it a day. this case has all benefits of micro ITX build while still allowing you to use big components and saves you money on motherboard and powersupply (no need to use more expensive SFF PS). its also future proof case! you can put huge 4000 series grafix card and it has 4 PCI Bracket slots (new high end grafix cards are 3 slots now!!). also, support for 360mm rads and up to 170mm power supplies is amazing. this case basicly gives you all options what other cases in same segment do now, thus making you spend more money on expensive MOBO or power supplies.. amazing!!

[@notchipotle]

and much cheaper than building mini itx 🤣

Nice video! Small feedback: PSU fan is not an intake, you can do put a 80/120mm in the front or a 3rd one in the bottom as intake if you go with 240/280 aio + SF PSU. In your setup Its likely better to have rear as intake to compensate.

[@cherrymxistrash687]

You should do a build video on the cooler master NR200P

The no-rgb approach actually makes it cleaner in a way

[@David-yx3bd]

Clean build. You'll do fine with Windows 11. I've been using it since launch, and have yet to experience a crash or anything I'd consider buggy aside from a few instances of settings not sticking, and that seems to be pretty random and not often enough to truly bug me.

[@Eben1]

Agreed, been using it since launch and i have not experienced any issues except file explorer freezing once or twice... I much prefer it from windows 10

[@jd31068]

Man, if they only had some type of document available that would explain in like, a step by step format, how to access the power supply area. That'd be pretty helpful I think.

[@danielszydlowski2274]

Great looking case, nice build. thank you for entertaining. Good idea switching to the 360mm AIO looks better. You could have also stuck a fan in that space with the 240mm, might not have looked as appealing though. And thank you for the windows 11 pro discount keys, at the store they can run for around 259.00$ CND. Dude build any computer and I'll be satisfied watching.

[@xs3tsunax]

the cooler is design for the tubing to go to the bottom so that you have landscape screen instead of portrait, that is why the tubing is so long. and apparently those were better for the cooling too

Ive seen that in person and it is small compared to average sized towers and in case you didnt listen right its a MicroATX Case, not an ITX case. It's even smaller than my Define Mini C which is already smaller than an average sized tower. If you want ITX content, go watch ITX content.

ED is it okay to plug the 8pin to dual 8pin to the RTX 3080 ? Some says its required to plug 2 separate 8pins so the cables don't get overload !

[@tocotaku4787]

Such a better choice with your the 360mm rad. I was thinking, as soon as I saw you tyring to place the 240mm in there, that space and tubing would drive me crazy. The 360mm looked more complete and at the end of the day offers better thermals for a demanding chipset.

[@_abood911]

The 240mm aio bothered me, there was just that empty space that could have been taken up. If I was in your shoes Ed I would do the same thing.

[@kokotheonlyone]

[@Shaman1879]

Like you, I want every build to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. But with the 12900k pulling as many watts and getting as hot as it does I feel that having the best cooling solution, regardless of size (where applicable), is more important overall.

Everybody on the server was clowning me for building in a micro atx build a couple weeks ago. Now I doubt they will. Nice video as always man!

[@justatim8143]

OCD with my wife so I learned 35 years ago that I would only put the 360 AIO in the system. Caution almost all power supplies have a max rating of 125 Watts per cable and yours calls for 2 cables and your 3080 can use 300 watts that's 250 Watts plus the max motherboard of 75 watts total 325 watts using a pigtail from one cable only gives you 200 Watts and the pigtail will give you more BUT you may over heat the cable and melt/ short the power supply or damage/catch on fire your system.

LOL shoulda done the power supply before deciding on the AIO. TBH, 280mm radiator is the best in this case to give you wiring room and ability to put in HD below the PSU.

Did you use one cable for the gpu? Im gonna put this case on my list for my itx build.

[@typerightseesight]

why new age cases don't allow the psu to pull from the cpu. they say its a space issue but every computer before gaming pcs just "works" like that. besides the torrent case there arent any that default it above the psu and the rear fan.

[@spuerk_0236]

i honestly prefer to go the perfectionist way, as in tweaking little things suck as cable management or aio size, its just a better feeling in the end when you turn it on and you know how much hard work you put into every thing

[@boomshaka918]

This is a big matx case. Ty for review I didn't realize how big it was. Nice build crazy how it can fit full size components. Looks easy to build in.

Just wondering if them temps were overlocked or default out the box? The temps for a 12900k in that case seems crazy good to me

[@Gdozify]

What happened Ed? Is everything okay? It's not like you messing up so many. From the CPU, ram and mic audio. You don't seem to enjoy the building thou. For my opinion for the PC, especially if you give it to somebody, I'll go with 240 AIO but stick it near to the rear 120mm. Then you have room for psu to get the highest point. Leaving enough slack for cable, and someone can mount ssd in front and not getting choked by psu. It also balance the case with 3 exhaust (2 AIO & 1 rear) and 3 intake or you can get it to 4. Anyways, it's clean build as always. Thank you

[@SharkmanRadio08]

Personally i dont like itx boards in any case thats not itx because i dont like all the empty space and stuff

[@Kladurr]

I have a question. I’m new to building PCs, and want something affordable. I’m looking to spend around 1200$ to 1400$. What are some builds with this case y’all suggest? I’m probably looking for a and build that can run games like CS:GO, Tarkov, and most popular fps games.
