Hey by the way buyers are starting to have a lot of issues with Lenovo regarding the Legion Go and getting the fan fixed under warranty, they have now backtracked twice to change what they’ve said and are denying warranty fix work for fan noise.

They don't need to fix this, they need to get a Nobel prize for discovering room temperature superconductors. I still don't understand what the advantage of using it in a pc case is, but its impressive nonetheless.

How else are you going to power and cool your next Intel CPU, nevermind the next Nvidia GPU 🤭

[@creamydonk]

nono, its actually a regular superconductor that you need to pour liquid nitrogen on constantly. we're still researching into why it works but when you press the activated superconductor against a CPU it somehow keeps it cold.

I honestly enjoy the "giga aquarium fishbowl" approach, it reduces the visual weight by a lot, the modular panels are something i didnt expect, having the mesh panel at the front while glass on both sides provides a decent amount of the see through effect without affecting performance.

phone coolers is a good idea while using it on a car , on hot days while charging and using car play for the gps and audio , it can get very hot if the car tray dont have any ventilation , and this is one of the reasons I prefer to put it in a support in front of the AC vent

[@etmb69]

I really hope that Coolermaster listen to you in regards of the pogo pin connection for the RGB on the front panel. Removing the front panel can be hard at time and when you are cleaning your PC often, the risk of damages increases. Also, in my opinion, there are no need to have the Sleep, work, game gimmick. If CM wants it, make it an option. I would be interested in both Ncore and Masterbox 500 Mesh depending on reviews. The Masterbox 500 is more or less what I'm looking for but all depend on the Airflow and storage device capacity therefore I would also consider the Ncore. I would love to see a new case with the same top design as the Mastercase Pro 5 . My cat love to lie on the top of my case when I am away from my desk. The removable top cover, provides a bit of space for the hot air to exhaust during that time. If CM releases the same case after fixing the design flaw for the tempered glass panel (Gaps between the glass and the top front panel) , and add an updated front IO with USB C, then I'll probable buy it. Fun fact Steve. CM was the reason why I found and followed your channel. There was a lot of hype before the H500P was released and this case looked very interesting (I would say good job to CM marketing team at the time). I, like everybody should, wanted to see some reviews first before considering buying it. Of course the thumbnail had Snowflake in it so how could anyone click on any of the other videos first.

[@AndreiAldea]

That's hilarious, I've actually been using an NR200 together with a Strix 4090, I've had to modify both heavily to make them fit together but it's kind of hilarious to see CoolerMaster make it a first party thing. Mine still looks stock on the outside though, I've had to cut the front faceplate and remove the extra plastic on the strix to make it fit but it juuuuust goes in there. This is not a bad "no-mod" approach and looks kinda cool.

[@GCAT01Living]

ngl I like the idea of just slapping the GPU on top of the case. I honestly thought about this when the 30 series came out and were getting bigger and definitely with the 40 series. Engineered correctly, it could eliminate a lot of the worry of trying to fit a GPU in your current case and/or the case you want. The aquarium type case with swappable side panels is pretty dope. I'm sure people will come up with some really cool showcase builds in that.

[@deuswulf6193]

Some nice cases there. For that AIO's VRM fan, might as well just grab the Cooler Master Atmos then, as there are 3D printable badges that let you install larger more functional fans for cooling the VRM. Pretty sure it will be the same pump.

[@JohnDavidSullivan]

Still have my TD500 - the only thing that bugged me as you mentioned in your review at the time was the mounting holes for two more SSD's but they never included the grommets or pegs for that. They then released a Version 2 - rather than include the additional screws and grommets they removed the mounting support entirely. Really smart! 😂

[@shaneeslick]

G'day Steve, CoolerMaster has always been popular for affordable cooling down (at least my go to) here in Australia, nearly all my AIOs, fans & PSUs are CoolerMaster as they are good quality, relatively quiet & priced well, as an example currently along with DeepCool the 2 cheapest "Recognised Name" AIO brands quite often under $100AUD for 240mm while ASSTek based models above $150AUD some like Corsair & NZXT even above $200AUD for 240mm. Besides this another reason I love CoolerMaster AIOs is you can Mod them quite easily like the one I have in my Overkill XP PC that is now a ML240mm + 120mm cooling i7-2700K & GTX780Ti (with EKWB), a Seidon 120mm converted to 92mm + Clear Tubing in a Retro HP Pavilion M-ATX for C2Q9650 @ 4GHz & a Nepton 280mm with no radiator to run Ice water direct from my Esky on my i7-3770K testbench. I have a few of their older cases for Retro PCs including a N300 KKN2 + HAF LAN Box XB EVO but went off them as my go to (now DeepCool Smarter for ODD or Antec NX200 for ARGB) after as you found the Airflow & Build Quality dropped off in many designs.

Please make more open PC cases.

It's 2024 and Steve still has to ask the question "Where air go?" when reviewing fan based cooling solutions, and it is hillarious every time :P

[@montymousester]

there kinda is a reason for the bottom to be a solid panel on the top mount gpu. Once you remove steel, integrity, the metal poles will be attached to a more flimsy material. whilst those parts will be firmly fixed the sides will not be as sturdy when lifting, so the rest of the chassis for holding it risks warping which will put strain on the pcie connection. it will considerably lessen the weight you can lift by the top which may cause damage to parts..... just saying.

[@lagrangemechanics]

It that phone cooling thingy is TEC, any thing you may gain for reducing power leakage from lower temperature should be dwarfed by the efficiency of the TEC itself. Also I'm not sure if the change in power leakage with respect to temperature is necessarily similar between desktop and mobile processors. It may be that mobile processors, being mainly ARM based (or just with a different power envelope with its design in general), don't necessarily share the same power characteristics with their desktop counterparts.

[@mechanought3495]

That feels like if anyone would design a new car and patent it as: Electric motor, four wheels, all wheels powered. There are just so many ways to build something. So if three competitors already took all the options the rest of the competition can't work with the new standard at all

[@Argo16x]

What I'd like to know is how the tachometer for each fan can work in a daisy chain system.

The bottom of the GPU thing being solid would be the same as if it was on an open air test bench since that’s where a motherboard would be. I expect open air test bench cooling performance since that is basically what it is for the GPU.

[@danielhulan3058]

I do like the idea of showcasing the gpu like this. I mean yes, in regular cases, you can see the gpu but this completely focuses on it. It wonder if they will manufacture an adapter for 2 fan cards.

[@skyhight3]

I like the ITX case with the GPU on top, but they need to make a system that have 2 separate locks and one is automatic once you push the card in, not only to make sure there are no accidents in case one of them fail, but in case people forget to lock the thing, which will happen 100%. The one with the GPU window it will only look good if you have a GPU with that exact size, otherwise it will look terrible.

[@NexGen-3D]

With Tec coolers for phones, battery life does not even get a look in, its purely for performance, when using them you will have the phone powered by the wall or by a battery bank, as playing high end smart phone games will destroy your battery just as fast as a stem deck, I was using these Tec coolers when I used to play COD mobile to give me sustained high frame rates without setting the phone on fire :) they do work quite well.

[@EthanLeitch]

Thank you for the video! Could you please elaborate more on the phone cooling statement? I don't understand how lower temperatures would improve battery life (except in the case of a battery getting extremely hot). My understanding is that the hotter the SoC gets the more it throttles, and the less power it uses, but I'd like to learn more if that's not the whole story. A use case for a cooler like that for me would be using my Motorola Edge 30 Ultra with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which throttles and drops the frame rate in "AAA" android games like Grid Autosport when the frame rate is unlocked, or in heavy emulation such as PS2 after a few minutes.
