Computex 2023: ENDORFY ARX 700 Air - their first design built from the ground up

[@overclockingdemon7179]

thats actually really quite well thought out - nice coverage james, always good to see how a build works in a case as well as a traditional review style piece

[@eddardstarkish]

Well done Endorfy! For a first case it´s almost adorable! I´m impressed! And i´m using a fractal mesh 2. This Endorfy case would be an absolute choice for the next build! Cheers for this video, love you guys!

[@mirzamirza2022]

That is a really nice build there. James always delivers.

[@jamesdawson8323]

Thanks!

[@KnightRider-lq5yb]

cracking build james - good looking case, nicely finished and good pricing

[@redrock425]

Looks like a nicely designed case, well thought out 👍

[@inlovewithmycar7085]

yeah id use this myself. really good bit of design

[@roycrave2420]

You my good sir, are the only one I've seen on YT with cable management talent.

[@mirac_kral6544]

That is such a nice array of components you get to put in that case.

[@Fenerxgoatt19_07]

You guys get to play with the coolest stuff.

[@bobsmithson8592]

great video james, some good ideas

[@jamesdawson8323]

Thanks.

I'm currently building in an Arx 700 ARBG and I have a few things to note. - The top 360mm radiator support works, but only for a standard size AIO radiator. The back fan can be moved down on rails a few mm to allow more space, however my DeepCool LS720 only *just* fits. An Arctic Freezer AIO probably will not fit due to the thicker 360 rad. - The SSD mounts on the PSU shroud are unsightly in my opinion. - The two openings on the PSU shroud (although large) didn't allow me to plug in the included USB 3.0 IO cable on my Gigabyte Aorus Elite. - The swiss-cheese cutouts on the inside (I have no idea what their purpose is), make it difficult to cable manage so that the spaghetti isn't visible. Apart from that, I was pleasantly surprised with the simplicity of the case and the (in my opinion) solid build quality. If they had included some SSD mount covers for the PSU shroud and a backplate or cover for the cutouts on the motherboard tray then I'd be hard pressed not to overwhelmingly recommend the case.

[@shady8910]

Is it a silent case? Im looking for something around that price range and silence Is my top priority. Other options Are either be quiet 500 DX or fractal design meshify 2 compact. Ill be using only the stock fans+ endorfy fortis for as a cpu cooler

[@AnfecsIan]

@@shady8910 The fans are actually pretty nice quality and aren't loud in my opinion. I can't give you a metric to go off of, but I can happily game with my headphones off and the noise doesn't disturb me. Then again, each person is different. I think the biggest bonus you have, is that the case supports a 360mm radiator in the front and top of the case. I don't believe this is possible with the Meshify Compact.

[@Korr4K]

As a side note, if you use a top radiator then the back fan is completely useless. The real issue for me is the bottom fan, without a meshed bottom (like in the Lancool 3 or 216) I doubt it does anything noteworthy.

[@powermaster5004]

some really good design choices. i like the understated look too, isnt a total eye sore unlike many released lately.

[@boltsandbraces6261]

great build james as always, something very methodical and comforting watching your builds. If I am doing my own im always waiting to screw it up

[@jamesdawson8323]

😂

[@cj_zak1681]

looks like a solid option, nice video James 🙂....but is €109 really classed as budget-mid range? Wow.

[@jolereplica]

The Filter part of the front panel can be taken off from the top, as it is magnetically attached to the front panel. Edit: I had not watched the video fully through when writing this. I have realized you have seen it near at the end of the video.

[@gogopowerrangers6596]

nicely done james, i would shortlist this myself if I could find it.

[@poppi69420]

this helped me alot. my psu is very long but its good that it fits there. im going to buy this case. thanks!

[@stickyfingers9710]

excellent first case. hope to see more from them in the future

[@andeiodusbutler3423]

Beautiful. I would buy this case. The build is very cool.

[@murvetaktay8586]

The cooling performance looks pretty solid given the insane amount of heat generation that GPU and CPU are producing.

[@panvrek8952]

Perfect.

[@etkin_.lik-]

Looks like quite a well thought out design.

[@historianfabulousio5128]

nicely done Mr Dawson

[@jamesdawson8323]

Thanks!

[@darkmanure]

Beautiful cable management.

[@rufusmctavish1164]

8 out of 10 from me.

[@_GIDO]

Love your videos. Will this case fit Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 AIO? many thanks !

[@yasaralabas6181]

Love seeing how that rats nest of cables gets all neat halfway though the build.

[@jamesdawson8323]

👍

[@justindavis7600]

shows a lot of promise for this company - only issue is getting some of their bits and pieces isnt easy. are they likely to improve distribution?

[@VideogamesAsArt]

If it had a mesh panel instead of the glass, it would be perfect case for me!

[@Yavuz02_BS]

Like the amount of space for air-cooling as I really never liked the idea of water-cooling a PC.

[@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626]

I saw you guys do a few things of theirs. shame I cant actually buy any of this stuff anywhere.

[@canarychrome7012]

thats pretty good, doesnt look like a blatant copy of anything else, which is quite unusual in 2023

[@mikep9418]

I'm surprised you didn't put your plastering skills to work on the thermal paste 😂 Thanks for the video.

[@jamesdawson8323]

😂😂

[@shredder3034]

Why are all 5 pinouts on PWM controller already populated if there are only 4 fans that come with the case? And what about 3 pin ARGB connectors? What if my mobo has only 1 ARGB connector?

[@Berkelll]

Will Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 will fit in that case?

[@QuentinStephens]

I really like that case. And your builds are always a pleasure to watch. Thank you. I have just one question: why did you start by saying that the case uses 140mm fans for reduced noise then keep mentioning 120mm format radiators and use a 3x120mm radiator? Wouldn't it have made more sense to use a 3x140mm radiator?

[@jamesdawson8323]

Good question. That is exactly what I asked Endorfy during their presentation of this case. I would have liked to have seen space for a 420mm (3x140) radiator since they made it clear that 140mm fan support was important. Their reason for not supporting 420mm radiators was that it would have increased the case dimensions by too much.

[@QuentinStephens]

@@jamesdawson8323 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm sorry but Endorfy are just being plain stupid here. Someone not carefully checking is not going to see that restriction and buy a 140mm form factor AIO and be disappointed. The case still looks wonderful for air cooling and I appreciate the features like the rubber grommets, so I'll be recommending it for that. An idea for you: how about a video on cable management outside the case? Your cable management inside the case is outstanding, but I'm sure I'm not the only one with multiple monitors and umpteen USB devices and the desk can get more than a little tangled.

[@Kaiv1]

I'm tempted to buy this case with an AIO Endorfy Navis F360 ARGB for a 7900 XTX + 7800x3D combo, do you guys think this would be good enough?

[@p.s6742]

I liked it very much but the price is far above 110 Euros. It currently costs 150 Euros 😮 Maybe in a later date when the price falls I'll consider it. And your presentation of it was fine I guess.

[@Makaveli7690]

17:02 Can someone explain why a fan was installed here?

[@dancedany]

I have an Endodrfy controller P0-0079 and my fan colors are red spinning on a blue background. When i bought the computer they were Rainbow color. How can i get them back to Rainbow color? Thx

[@ServTech1337]

I would love to see if bottom fan works or its jebait

[@harleylover9446]

A few design decisions I would change myself but overall i walk away from this one, not completely sold, but wanting to see what their second case is like

[@jamesdawson8323]

Sounds fair.

[@wiziek]

they already have few cases, this is rebrand of silentium pc products

[@ibrahimtasdemirci4327]

Those rear fans being so close to the top fans look like they are going to interfere with the airflow.

[@stevewatson6839]

Tidy case; Tidy build. Endorphy have hit the ground running; I look forward to what they'll do in the future.

[@snan3919]

Prefer to mount a radiator at the top of the case rather than the front.

[@Berkelll]

ENDORFY ARX 700 or Cougar MX600 ?

[@Kamil_PacyfikatoR_Pustelnik]

Navis F360 with Fluctus fans would drop temps below 90 Celcius

[@huseynhuseynli7323]

So are we giving up on 3.5 inch drives now?

[@jamesdawson8323]

I'm not but they are less popular to some case manufacturers.

[@itsJPhere]

In consumer PCs, that is the trend since SSDs have become affordable. Set up a NAS is you want more storage.

[@geofftatesmate7748]

is their much flex on the panels? is it built well you reckon?

[@jamesdawson8323]

It's as well built as other cases in this price range. There it some flex but not excessive.

[@GülbeyazErgenlioglu]

Thank god they use captive thumbscrews. I have lost all of mine on my case because they come off.

[@buyingastairwaytoheaven5252]

surprised how good that case is James. Would you build your own system into it? be honest

[@jamesdawson8323]

Yes I would use this case for one of own systems. Honestly!

[@TAHAEDİTSYT333]

Finally another James build! Why do you have to ration his videos all the time.

[@Mason_bluegrass]

very nice

[@исмаилрафик]

Do they do any other colour?

[@jamesdawson8323]

Not currently.

[@malcolmparkes9981]

As the front comes set up with 3 140mm fans I dont see how you would fit a 360 rad, won,t work.

[@jamesdawson8323]

You would need to remove those stock 140mm fans to install a front 360mm radiator, but there are mounting holes for 120mm fans/radiators in the front panel too.

[@malcolmparkes9981]

@@jamesdawson8323 no it doesn't, look at the fans 140mm they are in the only holes unless theyare going to supply an extrta front panel.

[@jamesdawson8323]

@@malcolmparkes9981 the front fan bracket is actually a two piece design, you attach the two pieces to 120mm fans then the brackets mount on a different set of chassis holes for 120mm spacing.

[@tugbadal2742]

Funny how you mention the front doesnt have a dust filter until you realise at the end of the build it does have a dust filter…

[@jamesdawson8323]

No it doesn't have a dust filter in addition to the mesh is what I was meaning.

[@tomquimby8669]

So I go to school then college then university to become a qualified engineer and the only job I can find is to review a box, what a waste of talent

[@wiziek]

hey where are you working mate?

[@QuentinStephens]

Somehow I doubt that Kitguru is James' only employment.

[@amdforlife5591]

Intel/Nvidia build - urghhhh

[@jamesdawson8323]

AMD for life is bound to say that. 😊 Don't worry I have an All AMD build coming soon.
