Fractal aesthetics are truly wonderful as expected👍

[@PC_SNAP]

True! Fractal is one of my favourate cases🙌

Dude! I could feel the emotion of walking through the forest in the video. Well done! Your channel is so underrated, keep up the good work bro❤

[@PC_SNAP]

Your comment is awesome! Thank you so much💜🖤

[@RemiX_O]

This was the most relaxing PC build video I've ever watched. Also, lighting 👌

[@PC_SNAP]

Oh!! Thanks a lot! Please look forward to the next video as well💜🖤

[@OtexProd]

This is perfect! I was wondering if my artic liquid 360mm could fit in this case and it does! thank you very much for your video. the build is awesome!

[@User_2051]

Thats such a good looking build, fractal def makes some quality stuff

[@PC_SNAP]

Thank you so much! Personally, I really like Fractal cases.💜🖤

[@sunwalker4017]

exceptional well made video and great build

[@ArachnidEdits_]

I'm trying to see if I can build my first pc this year. Out of all the cases I've seen so far, this is the most suitable case

[@PC_SNAP]

This is the case I’m using for my video editing PC, and I’ll continue to use it in the future.

[@Lfkxl]

It’s the best case but it’s so MASSIVE. Looks even bigger IRL

[@OM1967II]

im so building this for my new build, thank you!

[@PC_SNAP]

Sounds awesome bro! Thank you so much!!!

아 너무 감사드립니다 💜🖤

[@Ddenahi]

I wanted to know if the North XL can handle a top-mounted LF3. Watching this video made me so happy! It's a beautiful build! 👍

[@PC_SNAP]

Oh! Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! Yeah!! The top radiator space in the North XL is very enough👍

[@cab79kr]

스냅샷리뷰님의 동영상이 제가 케이스와 구성품을 선택하는데 많은 도움이 되었습니다. 감사합니다. (측면은 배기 권장하던데, 전 그냥 떼고 사용해봐야겠습니다.)

[@PC_SNAP]

안녕하세요! 도움이 되셨다니 정말 다행이네요 👍 저 역시 빌드 영상 완료하고, 글카만 사용하던 4080으로 바꿔서 사용 중입니다. 물론 측면에 제거했어요. 이미 충분해서요. 아하! 배기로 사용해도 괜찮겠네요. 댓글 감사드려요.

네! 저 역시 North XL을 오랫동안 사용 중이에요! 정말 멋진 케이스입니다👍

[@3rdWorldDon]

So I'm building a system pretty similar to this and wondering if I really need all of this extra cooling. I was thinking of buying an extra exhaust fan for the back, but apart from that leaving it as is. Do you guys reckon all of the shown extra fans are really necessary?

[@PC_SNAP]

Awesome! It depends on your CPU and GPU. Side fans are definitely helpful, but there's a hassle of airflow bringing in dust without dust filters. I removed the side fans and replaced the 4070S shown in the video with the 4080 which I usually use. It's already sufficient. Therefore, if memory or GPU cooling is necessary, extra fans would be beneficial, but if not, removing them wouldn't be a problem at all. I hope this helps👍

[@3rdWorldDon]

@@PC_SNAPAwesome, thanks for the reply!! I have a 4080 too and am running a Ryzen 7 7800X3D :) I think I’ll try it without all of the extra cooling for now and see how the temps are and then retrofit if necessary :) I really love your build and it’s been a big help to me in figuring out what I wanted mine to look like so thank you!!

[@3rdWorldDon]

@@PC_SNAP Hey dude, one more question for you: Arctic is having a sale on their coolers right now but sadly the 360mm version is all sold out. Do you think a 420mm would fit in the front? Along with a 4080? Thanks in advance!!

[@williamregairaz5707]

@@3rdWorldDonhi! very same config ordered (but with a big air cooling on the cpu) and wonder too if extra cooling is mandatory. thx for your share.

[@mikimano1988]

I've heard in other reviews that this chase has a tendency to get loud because of turbulence if the front fans spin fast. Especially with 140mm fans. Did you encounter any loud noise problems at this particular build? I'm asking because I just put together a build just like yours with this arctic cooler and with bequiet fans, and I'm wondering if I should let go of aesthetics a bit and simply go with a BeQuiet case or is the turbulence an issue at all? Thank you if you answer my overcomplicated question.

[@PC_SNAP]

If you mount the cooling fans inside the front fan bracket of the case, it could be possible to notice some noise, similar to the old Meshify cases. I have it set up as shown in the video, and I don't really notice much noise even during high airflow. Now I'm still using this case.

[@SungchulAn]

영상 너무 좋습니다 배경음악도 잔잔하니 분위나네여 ㅎ 고퀄영상 잘 봣어요

[@PC_SNAP]

안녕하세요 성철님! 자주 찾아와주시고 정말 감사드려요💜🖤

[@neverconsidered2193]

First off, great build. I'm curious why you went with Lian Li for the radiator exhaust fans instead of the fans that came with the cooler, or more be quiet! fans. Also, since you have the mesh side panel, have you considered vertically mounting your GPU and orienting the side fans as exhaust? I'd be interested to see if that yielded cooler temps.

[@PC_SNAP]

I just tried the Lian Li P28 fans on the radiator because I bought several of them. I haven't tested it yet, but using the side fans as exhaust might be better depending on your GPU heat.

[@jackmoore1415]

Minor spelling mistake on the timestamp chapters with "norht" but great video 👍

[@PC_SNAP]

Thank you so much. I've made the changes right away!

[@jackmoore1415]

No worries, sorry for being one of those annoying people @@PC_SNAP 😁

[@kensg]

Nice build...Cheers

[@Sorestlor]

Hi. Nice build. I was trying to replicate the color of the cooler you used as I have the same one. I was wondering what software and rgb color code you used.

[@PC_SNAP]

I used Gigabyte GCC, and the color code is FF5A00. It's the default orange colour.

[@TV-ef5me]

Since you used the separate cables for the cooler I’m interested where did you connect them ?

[@PC_SNAP]

I connected the three front fans to the PWM header through the hub included with the Fractal North XL, and the Lian Li P28 fans are connected to the motherboard PWM headers via a daisy chain. Finally, the two side fans are connected to another PWM header through a daisy chain. Therefore, I used three PWM headers! Hope this helps man!

[@nugrohoshinoda27]

What size are the 2 fans on the side? 

[@PC_SNAP]

06:16 140mm fans!

[@allenwalker8193]

Can I use a thermal pad instead of thermal paste for this build?

[@PC_SNAP]

I haven't used a thermal pad myself, but I think it's possible.

Hey, awesome video, how do you do the pull shots out of curiosity to make them so smooth? Thank you

[@PC_SNAP]

I spend a lot of time on video editing. It was quite difficult at first, but it comes naturally as I do it more. Anyway, are you a creator? Thank you so much💜🖤

[@Ksawery_K]

@@PC_SNAP Thanks for your reply. I enjoy creating cinematics yes, and I post some to my channel, I am quite new to it though, and trying to slowly improve my way up! I found your video to be very inspirational and awesome, especially the cinematic, was calm and enjoyable to watch. Thank you

[@jo-tv6bn]

thank you for this incredible video! nice work, the case I want to take with the glass version, I think it's not good if I put the 2 fans like you put it on the side, right?

[@PC_SNAP]

I'm currently using the North XL glass version for my video editing PC. I've removed the two side fans! However, the cooling is already sufficient!

[@jo-tv6bn]

@@PC_SNAP ok thx!

[@DorianOrtegaDelgado]

beautifull, I loved

[@PC_SNAP]

Thank you so much! I'm glad liked it 💜🖤

[@rayon1911]

Great video! Quick question - the side fans should be intake or out?

[@PC_SNAP]

Both ways are fine. Personally, I prefer intake, but exhaust is also good if you're worried about dust!

[@christoph141]

Hi, how do you Set up the RPMs in generell? The Sound is so loud of the Fans with this rpm

[@PC_SNAP]

In the video, the RPM is at maximum load. It would be great to run it at around 30% pwm.

[@masterfan0]

I assume the artic liquid 420mm wouldn't fit there? Actually it says there's 420mm for the front. What do you think?

[@PC_SNAP]

Hi! The liquid Freezer III is thick, so the 420mm radiator might have some clearance issues.

[@masterfan0]

@@PC_SNAP I ended up ordering the 360 instead. Should be more than good for the new 9950x

[@C0D3XX]

U have 4 lia uni fans but they only come in a 3 pack? Did this mean u bought 6 or no!?

[@C0D3XX]

And also how is the performance on games

[@PC_SNAP]

@@C0D3XX I bought three of Lian Li P28 3pack for my build. If you only need 4, you can just buy one 3pack and one additional fan. The 14700K and 4070S are suitable for work tasks. The gaming performance is also good but the 7800x3d is a better choice. Of cause, both are fine for a 1440p setup👍

Question would be Mesh or not?

전면 팬 교체하신 이유는 무엇인가요? 정말 순수한 궁금증 입니다.

특별한 이유는 없고, 비콰이엇 140mm 사용을 하고 싶었기 때문입니다. 번들 팬도 RPM 낮게 세팅해서 쓰기에 괜찮아요.

That is not a good thermal paste application. Triangle shape is going to trap air.
