Chill Build: DeepCool CH160

IMPORTANT: I've put the build notes in Closed Captions instead of baking them in to the video. I want to see if this will help international viewers, because they can use Google Translate to read them. Let me know what you prefer in the comments!
If you're interested in building a computer and shop on Amazon, please consider using my Amazon link below. Every year, it adds up to about enough to buy a single budget PC case, which isn't much, but it is helpful. First though, before you spend on a new shiny PC, please consider allocating a portion of your budget for the less fortunate in your area; especially with today's economy.

The specs are below. Please remember to check the date on this video, look for benchmarks on newer part releases, and shop around. The prices Amazon has may not be the best and these part choices might not be the best either (usually they're not, it's just what I have around).

This was my dream build I had all settled on when the ban came down and I missed buying the case. Now I'm sadly stuck questing for an equivalent.

Wonderful videos it's a pleasure to watch them

[@ChillBuilds]

Thank you.

[@jmal]

Ah, yes. The forbidden build. FBI, this guy right here. 👉 (/s)

[@ronalcasid3844]

DeepCool no longer available in US :(

[@ChillBuilds]

Yes, it's a shame. Maybe they'll come back someday.

[@Julian_Rad]

Great build! I recently completed my own setup using the DeepCool Ch160, along with the same ASRock motherboard. One thing that’s still puzzling me: when I power on my Ch160, the LED on the power button blinks for about 8-10 seconds before the display comes on. Is this normal? Does your power button also blink before the system boots up?

[@ChillBuilds]

@@Julian_Rad yep. I haven't read the manual for the motherboard yet, but if the power LED is blinking, then the motherboard is doing it. I'd check there for an explanation.

[@Julian_Rad]

@@ChillBuilds so, you have the same behavior? In the manual under PLED indications it says: Blinking (2Hz) -> Booting into system. So, maybe the blinking is just normal for that motherboard?

[@MrMakito22]

Would like to see Deepcool CH170 on your channel. Please.. please..

[@ChillBuilds]

@@MrMakito22 it's not going to happen. I bought this right before the sanctions. I won't be getting any more deepcool stuff.

[@kerryjones9744]

how's the temp?

[@biggonometry993]

i wasnt able to pick up this case before the ban sadly

[@ChillBuilds]

I bought it a week before. Actually, I was pretty hesitant to even make these videos since DeepCool got banned.

[@shooby02]

Probably my futur case, in white, with the Deepcool Assassin 4S for CPU fan. And with the Air Panel 100 accessory to replace the glass panel cause I'm not a fan of glass panel and I prefer a good airflow.

[@ChillBuilds]

I didn't know there was such a panel. I'm sure you can't get it here in the US anymore. There's a lot of airflow already, but I guess more wouldn't hurt.

[@Dean.Michael.Winchester]

I'm new to cpu building. I have a question, at 24:21, the CPU fan has to be bought separately or comes with case or other components? Because i don't see any links to cpu fan in the description.

[@ChillBuilds]

At least in the United States, we generally don't say "CPU building." The CPU is the central processing unit, which is the small metal and PCB item that I installed in the socket in the motherboard. That's just to clear up some confusion for people reading. The fan you're talking about does not come with the case. That's a part that I added.

[@Dean.Michael.Winchester]

@@ChillBuilds yea, i got confused lol. it's almost 6am here and i havent slept a wink. Should have wrote "PC building" .. Btw, which brand/model is that?

[@ah-ys8gs]

Hi. Will i have clearance problems if my nvme requires heatsink?🤔 Other parts that will go with my build is 4080super, peerless asasin 120se for cooling & an sfx psu. Thx!

[@ChillBuilds]

@@ah-ys8gs with the motherboard I used, a heatsink will not fit on the back slot unless you modify the case. On the main m.2 slot, it should be ok. Depends on how big the heatsink is though, and you won't be using the included heatsink.

[@Dean.Michael.Winchester]

what is the brand/model for the fan at 24:21?

[@ChillBuilds]

This is the fan - amzn.to/4gf4ZbF

[@ZioComposite]

Calling this the Chill “Blue Balls” Build for North America because of the sanction 😭🤣

[@ronalcasid3844]

You left out the GPU???

[@ChillBuilds]

Did you watch the video? 😕

[@bliss_gore5194]

@@ChillBuilds he confused it with the spare gpu lying on the table hahahah.

[@ChillBuilds]

@@bliss_gore5194 haha, maybe. That big GPU is the 4090 that I just leave sitting out on the table to flex (totally joking btw). It would never fit in the CH160 anyway.
