Fractal Design Focus 2 Build - Step by Step Guide

[@FATHERNTIME]

Out of all the build channels, I enjoy yours the most. From the accent to the thorough detail in building to testing. Keep it up, never quit.

[@freddyhutapea7246]

I stumbled upon your channel when i tried to find PC build guide using Lian Li case. Your guide is always very thorough, detail, and very easy to follow. Hope your channel grow bigger.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks, me too

[@Venserql]

Thanks for this, it's really helpful. Gonna be building a PC using the Focus 2 case this Tuesday.

[@setoace]

aesthetically looks decent and clean case despite not having a PSU shroud. as always I love how elaborate your explanation to every details of your build.

[@debram8829]

Christopher, this video is so helpful...I have just bought this case in white/black for my first build (collecting components as their prices drop in BF sales). The fans/radiator advice was excellent - I am planning on buying a radiator and was going to put it to the top, but the front makes way more sense, also knowing that I only need a rear fan is money saving. And that you've shown the case comes with GPU support bracket, I've no need to buy that either...honestly, this vid is excellent! You will probaby have a few more views from me when it actually comes to putting the built together :)

[@michaellovejoy5299]

I like that you cover specific cases in build guides that earned you a sub. Great content!

[@Puffo__]

The best tutorial video I’ve seen

[@alexgroberman]

Really enjoy your videos, excited to see the review next!

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks. No separate review for this one, didn't have the time to fit it in, but I cover all the details at the start of the build guide and the temps at the end.

[@silent_moxie]

Almost 50k!!

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Yes, not long to go, but only half way to 100K

[@RickFord01]

Video top!👍🏻 Is it possible to buy this mount for a video card separately? Or is there something similar to this?

[@HUMC5]

Very good build guide.

[@dyoung360]

Christopher, I really like your videos. I think you are the best on KZbin as far as detailed step-by-step instructions on building a pc. However, I wish you would use components more in line with the quality of the case you are building in. From the looks of it, this particular Fractal case will be more for budget minded builders, so I don’t understand why you load it up with expensive components. I think it would be more helpful to see builds with parts more commensurate to the cost of the case. Thanks

[@sweeleangloh]

very detailed as u build, u explained the steps👍👍

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks

[@ΓιάννηςΧατζηγεωργίου-θ9σ]

Another perfect build Chris, well done pal!! Just a question: Is it better for thermals to use the magnetic filter at the top (since our top fans are exaust) or leave it out?

[@nottsoserious]

There is no point in using a dust filter on exhaust fans. All it will do is keep dust inside your case. Only use dust filters on intakes.

[@contiki6277]

Hi there and thanks for this review! .i want to remove the led controller and the rgb fans to apply my own fans. Do you know if the led button on the top of the case work as a reset button instead? I dont want a case without a reset button that is why i am asking.

[@xxfazenoscoper360doesnosco2]

Thank you for showing where to connect those pesky front panel connectors ✌️

[@onur8709]

Hello Chris, I watched the video. Do you recommend RTX 3080 or 6900XT for gaming?

[@TheDeathstar2000]

How much do you think the CPU Cooler affected the CPU Temps results under load? In your torrent compact build you used a BeQuiet DRP4 with a max CPU temp of 92°C, here you have used a Deepcool LS720 with a max CPU temp of 72°C. I am aware the torrent compact is mainly designed for air cooling(although there are multiple examples of water cooled builds in that case, both with AIOs and custom loops) and I would use an air cooler as well, but since I am about to buy a new case I would like to understand how big of a performance differnece the case actually makes.

[@carrygun_]

Hello sir. I am building a new PC and gonna buy the same case (just non RGB version). In the specification I can see that its width is 215 mm. My GPU will be Asus Dual RX 6600. The card's width is 134 mm. I can see that you used ROG Strix model of the 3080 and it's even bigger with 140 mm of width. Based on that I assume that I won't have any issue with the Asus Dual RX 6600? Do you remember what was the clearance left when you closed the TG panel with your two 8pin cables connected to the card? Last question is kind of asking for opinion. I am gonna use two stock 140 mm front fans coming with the case and not adding any rear/top fan. My CPU will be Ryzen 5600 and CPU cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black. Do you think the case will do just fine with this setup in terms of temperatures and noise? Whole setup will take around 300W.

I built my new computer into the Focus 2 yesterday, and I didn't get neither the graphics card support nor the top radiator mounts.

[@rubenoliveira4014]

Hi does, the mount for the video card come included with the case?

[@Vapor413]

Decent case and great build video. Will be interested to see the retail price of the case.

[@1Yerffej]

Uk price is £79.99 and £89.99 for the rgb version.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks

[@Jay-sm1sp]

When will you drop the review?

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

No separate review for this one, didn't have the time to fit it in, but I cover all the details at the start of the build guide and the temps at the end.

[@Jay-sm1sp]

@@ChristopherFlannigan thank you for responding!

[@damdibidum]

Jim Browning must come from the same part of UK as you.

[@Dias319]

Are these two fans enough for a 5 5600x and an rx 6650 xt without buying any separately?

[@iamkxngc]

would you say that the fans included with the case are enough for a build?

[@marciopereira1726]

@Christopher Flannigan ...I love your videos...are so much informative and guess I am watching all your series...🤩😍

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Great to hear, thanks

[@marciopereira1726]

​@@ChristopherFlannigan yeah... I love all series

[@Jbpennes]

Would be great to compare the temps with the oens from all the rpevious cases you tested ;)

[@rare6499]

Interested in this case because despite having 7 slots it looks like it might enable hangover of a single PCIE slot due to no PSU shroud. Which would prove useful for some of my retro builds with multiple GPU’s…

[@JhonDoesThings]

Is it possible to put a custam watercooling in that case? (Because of it size)

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

nice build

[@icedmiko]

Hi Could we install a gpu in vertical position in this case?

[@CatherineSalazar-g7z]

Hi sir im from philippines can i use a 3 120fans in front without radiator?

[@amandacruikshank7523]

Yes you can

[@yazids.8919]

Only 1 fan on the front lights up. Help plz

[@Piensamalyacertaras]

How do I connect power button to a asrock b550 pro am4 motherboard?

[@Trancial-x-tion]

What are you with a filter on the top if there is non at the front 🙄🙄

[@lhbbq]

This case looks like the Messy. Just a different front screen.

[@taomahNEGEV]

What a shame those preinstalled vents are DC instead of PWM.

[@graftonkarol]

What "Ginger" takeaway in restaurant - appetite

[@GratDuForloradeArgumentet]

What did you think of the case then?

[@pyrex5594]

Wish u tested the temps

[@TheDeathstar2000]

Temps are at 20:50 , I don't know if you are referring to multiple fan setups like he did in other case videos but we have the temps of the final build, with noise measurements as well

[@T-sm1bs]

This dude is fuckin awesome

[@justeddm]

This case could have been a good buy , until fractal decided decided to expose the PSU area 😲

[@BobStoneBoi]

Lol no one cares about that.

[@server_404]

Скажите пожалуйста а как без пылевого фильтра? Много ли пыли будет в компьютере?
