Fractal Design Meshify C Build - i5-7600K / GTX 1080

[@Renaldo015]

This is weirdly satisfying and relaxing to watch.

[@Khaledm279]

yes !!!!! :D :D :D

[@cornjulio4033]

Yeah, I agree. Relaxed and still on point. Subscribed ofc

This is like the exact opposite of the Verge build 👀

[@jcdent5775]

I'm building my system for the first time in years and wow the tech has changed - much more straightforward. This is a perfect guide for me since I got an Aorus master and a Meshify C, super clear instructions presented in a Bob Ross style - no happy accidents! Thanks...

What a lovely video.. I actually watched this whole video, thank you for being so calm and not trying to make any jokes or TRYING to win viewers..

[@sosunser]

why do my builds never go this smoothly?

[@bocconom]

I know I am a year late but I just had to give you a thumbs up because that's my thought exactly. Especially when it comes to the video card setting. It NEVER goes in that smoothly for me ever. And then there is the "joy" of removing it if the situation calls for it.

[@SilentStorm401]

I did watch a vid on my first try, but on my second I did not and I got it first try 😎

[@DKDFury]

I really wish I found this video when putting my VERY FIRST PC together this week. Would have saved me a lot of trouble figuring out this case and help ease me through since the instructions the manufactures provide are all so confusing since they each say to do a step first differently than the other

[@dayvie9517]

I love this case, just got it myself. Building in it is so comfortable.

[@PandaPowerable]

Why don't any of these videos show what the case looks like at the end with the glass panel on!

[@Jepysauce]

Depending on which one you get they're super dark tinted or pretty see-through like you'd want That doesn't answer your question, but just some info for anyone in the comment section that wants to get a Meshify C

[@tjerkbonga6503]

[@brenthawkins5511]

question, about mechanical hard drive, how are you able to put cd in it if its placed inside mostly without any entrance? im very new to this

[@LimabeanStudios]

A hard drive just stores data internally, you put no disks into it at any point. Really there is no need for a CD or DVD slot these days anyways.

[@robsmith4365]

Why is this build tutorial better than the hour long tutorials I have been watching lol

[@mfvicli]

I just finished a build with this case. Very easy case to work with. Nice airflow too.

[@rainerbehrendt9330]

That was my first Build around 3 Years ago. I would only change 2 Things. Get rid of the 3.5 Drive Cage for more Cablemanagmentroom and i would plug the EPS Cable in before i install the MB because with a Cooler like my Dark Rock Pro4 it's a Pain in the But to reach the Plug if you have greater Handsize. But after a few Blood Sacrifices it worked out. Hail the PC God ;-)

[@Entrepid83]

10:00 Epic bonus peel.

[@ViperMeat]

Great video. I used this for additional pointers during my new PC build and found it really helpful.

[@stefanzlatanovic7521]

This Fractal case is everything.

[@FLOODOFSINS]

It's funny when all the tech channels (upload) do a review of the meshify C all at the same time lol.

Oh HELL yes! Another build with Ryan! Sweet!

[@tpfernandez]

Excuse me, PCPP, at 9:40 you talk about the next step with managing the cables.Do you turn the computer off before doing that or is it alright to leave it on while doing that? Seriously, please.

[@OutlawGamer-us7xn]

wow, i love that build, the case is amazing, and that mobo is a nice even black and white. fractal design sure knows how to make a case, i may choose this over the NZXT h500

[@bigboyanimation3799]

i want to know if you have memory in the 4 slots of memory, if the cpu cooler will tuch the memory and damage it or not?

[@Najebanski]

This is my ASMR

[@hamza_7267]

Will a harddrive fit in the case if you have a triple fan radiator?

[@redplanet9505]

This is so satisfying.

[@TheHanfi93]

the mainboard looks sick!

[@juncai1646]

nice clear and concise. just wondering how it works when you have two fans in the front but you want to connect it to the one fan sys on the mobo?

[@4GENS]

Could you explain this further please, 1:27.. Why exactly the second and fourth slot?

[@nineball039]

The motherboard manual will explain which two slots are optimal for two DIMM's. The second and fourth slots are a common design among mobo manufacturers but always read the manual first! More: all modern mobo's will run two DIMM's in dual channel mode (in lay terms - it's faster) if the two correct slots are used. In this instance, slots 2 and 4 are dual channel as are slots 1 and 3 if using four DIMM's.

[@robertl8429]

wow man amazing video. definitely so helpful. great job. i just bought this case and was worried about doing my build. stress has definitely dropped since i saw this video. awesome job!!

[@glacialimpala]

Great help, thank you. I was just wondering if my suspicion is correct, that you shouldn't (or even can't) put 3 fans at the front while also keeping the 3.5" holder at the bottom, because then the PSU cables have to turn sharply as soon as they leave the PSU, and that makes me nervous. Seems like if you want both the PSU and 3.5" box to be comfortable you should omit the 3rd (bottom) front fan 🤔

[@ithertzz]

GlacialImpala I've been looking for this too but I've seen it done in build photos. You can slide the HDD tray closer towards the PSU and remove the basement cover to fit the bottom fan. Makes it tight but it should fit. My meshify C will be arriving in a couple of days.

[@yvesheinrich5013]

Amazing build and especially the new case!

[@HaloblackopsTenken]

feeling confident right now to build one

[@marklamy2898]

Great guide and super useful to me who's never built a PC before, thanks!

[@DIMON2579]

Hi, the fans that are in the front can they be installed outside where the front panel is?

[@chief3467]

Isn't there negative air flow though because you only have 1 exhaust?

[@imretro808]

Can you still install a fan in the bottom at the front of the case after installing a hard drive?

[@diepurple7464]

What is the camera mount used to get the top view?

[@laxmannate07]

Just picked one of these up and love it

[@brandoneverett3418]

Watching for the case. Just realized this almost as good as pr0n.

[@Qstick333]

Could you run both front fans from a splitter to a single header so they always were in sync?

[@aldeen1982]

This is simply perfect!

[@greatribman1]

Question for ya, what do you do with the built computers after the live stream/videos?

[@joerodriguez7334]

greatribman1 disassembled by the time you even watched the video.

[@chrisdevl6970]

I can't slide the 3.5 inch drive tray out. It's screwed in there or something. Instructions also say it just slides out but I can't figure out how.

[@muhammadarifaiman4889]

Hai, can i know, can 3 fan and radiator fit the case on the top?

[@JeffGillis1]

Prior to your test boot did you have to install the drivers? Or does that come after you install the OS?

[@aftertheshowmoviepodcast]

I bought a quad lumi recently, really hard to install if the motherboard is already in the case as the bolts move in and out until you put the heatsink on. Looked way easy here but I found it was a 2 person job.

[@yvesheinrich5013]

So 4/5?

[@thanosAIAS]

Can you fit a PCI-express Sound Card in the 1st slot or does the huge CPU cooler interfere with it?

[@ZaItan1]

Connect fan to "CPU_FAN" header on motherboard, not "CHA_FAN1~3" yes? There are many similar headers on mobo.

[@AlrinNg]

Where will the pc go after ?

[@MrSamadolfo]

😄 Why u want it?

[@sidewinder86ify]

To a buyer ofc..

[@jonhyboy12playsdrum]

I know the housing unit is black and components are black but extra lighting would have been great to see the details a little better as you were building.

[@nathanwhite617]

I can’t get all the stand-off screws to sit flush with motherboard!?

[@d34dsYnt4x]

Beautiful case.

[@OneBrokeBloke]

How is the noise level on this case? Usually Fractal fills their cases with foam but this doesnt look as soundproof

[@gaiuspadme6344]

Can you install a 280mm rad on the top?

[@LS-oh8kv]

Okay I wouldn't be complaining if it was i5 with a 1060, 1070, but the 1080 is still a damned powerful gpu and AMD does perform about the same as i5 with the 1080 ti, this is less powerful making the CPU less bottlenecked, so why not have the benefit of 6 cores? Even if AMD didn't exist this would still be an odd build being more and more games are benefiting from extra cores, a 6800k would be a better option. If you can save up for this build, you should be able to save up even more for either 7700k or 6800k, or go R5 if you want to save money (on motherboard) and have 6 cores. Not really fanboying, because intel still makes good products, but this build is kindof odd

[@JockeyStrappers]

L S keep in mind it takes amd twice the cores to try and match any intel equivalent and intel dominates the ipc for single core computing. The only good thing amd did was make the market more competitive for us. The i5 7600k actually bottlenecks to the 1080 so idk why they went with that. A 1060 3gb would have been the best pair as it is the minimum you can go to eliminate bottlenecks. Ive done my homework on this because i am doing a similar build soon. I chose 3gb over 6 because they seem to literally perform the exact same in gaming to include sandboxes. Leaving me to wonder wether or not the extra 3 is a gimmick. All this based around 1080p of course.

[@NorthernSkiAndCycle]

AMD needs twice the cores to try and match intel? The 4 core 8 thread processors from AMD are better than the equivalently priced (actually they cost less) intel processors which are 4 core/4 thread (1400 v 7400, 1500x v 7500). Then AMD offers a 6 core/12 thread processor for less than intels 4 core/4 thread 7600k which might not be AS great at gaming, it's better at absolutely everything else, FOR LESS MONEY. AMD releasing the Ryzen 3 series made the 7400 and 7500 completely obsolete. Hell, you can buy a Ryzen 1200 or 1300x AND a B350 motherboard for less than an i5 7600k on it's own. The 1060 3gb is okay for now, but it will be an issue in a years time since most AAA games already use more than 2-3gb memory. That's why nobody recommends it. I'd suggest doing much more research.

[@Clutch4IceCream]

The modern i5 has a 3fps difference from the 7700k ffs people

[@oskarwittje8348]

you're like the bob ross of pc building!

[@NoName-ud4np]

Is there enough space for a hard drive and a rmx 650w in there?

[@SimmziNOR]

Where do you connect the anti-static band?

[@MrMethadrine]

To your OCD brain

[@Jbtw01]

plug in your power supply into the wall but do not turn it on. clip the alligator clip of your anti static wrist band to the vent of your power supply ,probably where you plug in the wall plug, and you’re grounded.

[@soon931111]

Can it fit 3 intake fans at the front intake with HDD cage inside?

[@syd_jzx100]

It can fit 3x 120mm and 2x 140mm fans without removing cage. Removal of cage is only needed for mounting of 360mm radiator.

[@tatil9464]

Great video! Just wondering, I know this case can handle the Corsair H150i PRO, and I have a motherboard msi-z370-a-pro. What else should I look for to determine if the H150i Pro RGB would work with my motherboard?

[@stephenjones9704]

could i fit a Noctua NH‑D15S in this case?

[@chrictonj9503]

Interesting. 360mm is stated in vid as max length of GPU but Fractal Design states only 315mm max length. Must have to remove the fan to get longer GPU to fit. ???

[@Thristed]

Can i plz ask you one thing? Cause its killing me. I have the same case but not sure how many fans to add? This is my current idea : 3xLL120 fans at the front, 2 at the top and one in the back. CPU cooler will be a dark rock pro 4. Just afraid that my cool air from the front will be removed to fast true the top fans. Tyvm for ur answer..

[@FLOODOFSINS]

What thermal paste did you use? I didn't see the name. Nice build, not exactly cheap and I see where one could save if they wanted. I would've liked a i7-7700k and went with 250gb ssd or something. Overall kickass build and nice video. AMD stock will make me rich. Buy and hold for 10yrs or 20yrs and if will shock everyone!

[@pcpartpicker]

The thermal paste was included with the Cryorig CPU cooler.

[@fantommm]

The SATA data cables are provided with what? I know the SATA power cables are provided with the PSU but the data cables??

[@verse3803]

Did The meshify c temp g chassi inclued a i/o shield beacause i cant find it

[@jackfolloway3354]

Double check the box/packaging for your motherboard -- the I/O shield should come with that, rather than the case. (see an example @ 0:38 )

[@helloitsjanelle]

Super helpful and clear, thanks!

[@animalyze7120]

Love the new cryorig connecting system, lightyears better than the old method. Got the Quad Lumi just as a giggle and man that thing keeps my system cool as well as the old Hyper 212, granted I only have very minor OC's on the cpu just to round it up. If you like RGB that Quad Lumi does a really good ambient effect and adds very good bling to the MoBo area but doesn't over kill it. If not the regular H7 is basically the same thing with no RGB and is a solid Air cooling choice for those not blowing up their cpu's with High OC's.

[@thomas_tk330]

What is the specific case fan called that's in the Fractal Meshify C if I want to get an extra?

[@jackfolloway3354]

[@krisztian317]

What do you think guys,is there plus 4cm between the front fan and the 1080? Thanks!

[@Byrjas]

I don't understand. I've seen this before. It use to be 1st and 3rd for the ram. When did it change to 2nd and 4rth? Am I that old? Probably to do with the newer motherboards I guess. . .

[@React2Quick]

Byrjas on some boards it's 1 & 3 others it's 2 & 4. I guess it just depends on the manufacturer?

[@Byrjas]

Yeah, MSI said it depends on the motherboard, not the manufacturer. So basically someone goes "I think I'm gonna do this, this time around.

[@daltinhorp]

Love the post credit scene...made me subscribe to the channel haha

[@leesonneville1817]

Why do they have you on a leash?

[@JustinHEMI05]

Will a kraken x62 fit up top? I have an EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW 3 so I am pretty sure that won't work with the kraken up front.

[@ilkaylittlemind]

What about X52? Will it fit with 3 fan design gpu

[@dovln]

can you fit a Kraken x62 radiator in the top exhaust position in this case (with an ATX mobo such as Aorus Gaming 5, or Crosshair VI Hero)?

[@GolfRambo]

I just transferred my old i5-4690k and 970 into this case with a H100i. My Rad with just 2 Noctua fans will not fit on the top because it interferes with my RAM. Had to mount the Rad and fans on the front. It all depends on the thickness of the radiator and design of your motherboard. With the Aorus Gaming 5, you will run into clearance issues with RAM since the board is pretty short up top. Looks exactly like my GA-z97x-bk Crosshair you might run into issues mounting the rad and fan combo with the IO shroud they have on it, but seems like it will clear the ram slots, since the board has a bit more space up top. My rad is 275mm long compared to the x62 at 315mm, so it depends on how far forward you can slide it.

[@korbendallas1956]

Hey Fractal! Please make a Micro ATX and Mini ITX version of this case.

[@khatokhavtasi1901]

Meshify c mini is mATX case. reverse compatible with mITX

[@DJHeroMasta]

I was pumped at first when I heard about this case but after actually seeing it, I'm sold on Phanteks P400S. Still debating on whether or not I'll keep my Define R5. (Might create a dedicated VR Rig?) But I'd go with a smaller case, like the S340 Elite.

[@2boostedsilverado]

How's the airflow in this case? Does it help if some fans are installed in the upper part?

[@GolfRambo]

Airflow is pretty good. I only have 3 fans running right now. 2 on the radiator(H100i) and 1 exhaust(waiting on extensions for the others). Even with positive airflow, I'm sitting idle at about 30-33C. At load, gaming, I'm sitting at about 55-60C while GPU(Strix 970) at about 60C.

[@2boostedsilverado]

Sahota018 awesome. Thanks. I'm waiting for mine to arrive. Gonna have 3x120mm CM jetflows on front. 1x120mm CM sickleflow rear. The top will have both Fractal design. I'll report how temps behave.

[@australiangarbo2519]

hello is is possible you could deliver to australia

[@vincent5613]

So now im asking myself since im not a pro... do you need those two extra fans? Arent the two fans that are already installed enough?

[@nineball039]

One intake and one exhaust fan is probably enough. I prefer a positive pressure design - pushing air instead of pulling it - which in this instance, a second intake fan would provide. If you are running negative pressure - pulling air out of the case instead of pushing it you will see the results of dust buildup on the seams of the case. There are terabytes of discussions/arguments on the internet about negative vs positive pressure designs!

[@vincent5613]

Thanks man. I just dont want my Hardware to die from overheating so Im gonna be fine with whatever just works. It doesnt have to be the perfect design.

[@nineball039]

lol - a typical case fan costs $6-$8, comes with mounting screws, connector cable and will plug right into your motherboard! Good luck.

[@vincent5613]

Alright so ill just get some extra ones and install them on the front.

[@nineball039]

Just a quick note (without meaning to sound insulting): on the side of the fan will be a small arrow indicating the airflow direction. For a front intake fan, you want the air blowing inwards. You can check the airflow direction with a piece of paper once the fan is powered up.

[@ahmedalyassjeen9838]

How do I know which screws to use?

[@sethlong7087]

yes I am confused what screws to use for the fans too. I just bought this case and wanted to add 2 more 120mm fans. They arrive in 2 days and I don’t know what screws to use. Looks like I’m just gonna try the 3.5 inch hard drive screws and hope for the best unless someone else can answer me

[@sifatrabby1962]

A Plane? Where?

[@firzen711]

why use DIMM slots 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3?

[@jackfolloway3354]

Most motherboard manuals include a small chart indicating the optimal slots (by priority) to install for a dual channel memory configuration. In the case of the ASRock Z270 Taichi, it recommends using the 2nd and 4th slots (labeled DDR4_A2 and DDR4_B2 on the motherboard). It's a good idea to check the manual for your specific motherboard to be verify what it recommends to get the best performance from your memory when only installing 2 DIMMs.

[@javadan123]

Is it even worth going on the Z270 platform at this point since Intel already announced Coffee Lake? Feels like the Z270 was just a stop-gap.

[@UsingInvisibleInk]

javadan123 I was hoping to get an 8600k for my z270 board rip

[@Arik-2103]

UsingInvisibleInk not gonna work. Intel screwed everyone with a Z270 board, you need a new board for Coffee lake

[@UsingInvisibleInk]

Arik Zuidema If that was done on purpose Intel is retarded. If I have to get a whole new system with new motherboard that also gives me the choice to switch to AMD. I don't understand why Intel did this. Maybe there is a specific reason why they can't use older motherboards idk
