I had a silver Silverstone FT05, and a black FT02 before that. fantastic cases. one of the most underrated benefits of the rotated mobo/vertical GPU is no sagging cards, and great airflow with blower style cards. I had two 980ti's wedged into the FT05, with no major issues.

I would try reversing the general flow. Take air in from the bottom and back then exhaust it out the front, side, and top. Give that GPU some fresh, cool air.

[@ms3862]

Yep the most effective way for fans in this case is to have the rear and bottom fans in take and have all other fans exhaust - that includes exhausting out the front of the case, some people won't like air coming out the front but it needs to for airflows to work effectively in this design

[@ZondaRbg]

I am looking for a case right now....and wife has signed off on it lol. Was looking at 750 and xl mostly. I have a corner desk with a end table to the right. I told her due to the cableing, I would have to have the rear facing the desk and the front facing away. If air was in from rear and bottom and out was top and side/aio that would be perfect. Glass would face out. I really need good filters due to animals.....only neg is buttons would be by the wall.......which I'm fine with as I don't use them much.

I used to use the FT05 it ran really cool with the big fans at the bottom and was very quiet. I ran 2 hot SLI cards and an overclocked CPU all on air cooling it was great. The real difficulty was cable routing for the power supply was rather difficult.

[@akaFlaw]

Can you just try doing every fan flip flopped, meaning intake next to exhaust, so that no two adjacent fans are moving in the same direction (as much as possible)? Just curious how much a random airflow impacts the actual temperatures, if there's a lot of air moving.

[@fauxbro1983]

Turbulent air will reduce the cooling capacity

[@ferdgerbeler8494]

that would trash your throughput, yes, each fan would have more air moving across it due to no resistance, bout it would jsut create fresh air pockets around the outside and heatbomb the middle.

it looks like the CPU is doing well but not the GPU, in this case. The GPU should running in the mid 60s without trying From owning a Silverstone FT02, some GPU especially the ones with vapor chambers do not like the vertical upright position. They can run 5-30 degrees warmer The Asus Strix for example is known to not like this position. KitGuru's review of this case had the Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4080 at 65 degrees, even at 50% fan speed under stress test

My 4090TUF card is 15C warmer in this 90degree orientation compared the the normal vertical layout , modern VGAs ( heatpipes / vapor chamers ) don't like this upside down position. Half of the heatpipes can't work against gravity. (The part above the GPU core )

[@Beary98]

This layout flipped for the left side of the desk is the answer. Then intakes blow directly on the gpu Look at segoteps inverted cases.

Really good concept with today's power and heat hungry CPU and GPU's, definitely a great option over the 1000D from Corsair with the ability to have that many fans at your disposal. Water cooling it could be fun aswell, Would be a great follow up video if it's possible.

[@vlad_8011]

So there is one field to improve - I had ALTA F1 from Silverstone and there is one condition for such cases - TT fulfills all, except one - access to the I/O of Motherboard and GPU. I personally think this is one of the best cases, if the price will not be too high - its COMPLETE case with all dust filters, its a pity we have plastic on the top (where all heat will cumulate and exit - plastic "shouts" (reaction to temperature change) is inevitable with time). But that top can be made better - TT, if you reading this - if motherboard and GPU are lowered to accommodate stiffness of the cables, just put some big bar from case front to case back, that will block the vision through tempered glass. After this remove some structure overload and you will get more clearance for cable management near I/O's. Dont forget to give user some velcro stripes for the cables out there (on top). With all that said, to get case top metal structure you can get standard case back side (with standard atx cutouts + 1 for additional fan) and reinforce structure by making it thicker (that top panel) or by adding some structural beams. Or create that panel with welded beams.

[@MillisecondFalcon]

I never noticed this before but "Airflow From The Rear" has an acronym that is an anagram of the word fart! You DO learn something new every day after all!! 👀 😁

[@seikojin]

Why not have the vertical fans next to the GPU to be an exhaust. Since it really didn't matter to the CPU.

[@timkey87]

Keep in mind that this 80 degrees is GPU chip temperature, video memory is usually 15-25 degrees hotter. The only effective way to lower high GPU temps is to replace shitty stock thermal pads and paste with high quality 3rd party ones like Thermalright or Gelid Solutions. No need to spend hundreds of dollars on fancy cases, most basics cases with 2 140s in and one 120 out can provide decent airflows just fine. Removing dust filters and front panel can drastically improve airflow, but this is kinda personal thing.

[@XPEHb]

Interesting (not really) case. Very interesting (really) video. Great montage.

[@Simon-tr9hv]

If they allow you use a riser that flat mount gpu so all gpu heatsink fin is horizonal and use front side and bottom for intake then exhaust through top and back I think it's way more ideal

Greatly appreciate the various configurations, but the other one I'd be curious about is all but the bottom fans. Really glad you brought up the medical meaning of CTE, and looking forward to you getting your hands on the smaller models in this line.

Great video and editing but, how is the 13700k running at or below 60C? Idle temp? At 100% load it will hit ~ 95C even with a 360 aio! If it’s idle temp then I don’t understand why you included that.

[@donkeysunited]

Good for looks, I guess, but a horribly expensive way to get very little benefit in cooling. All you really need is: 3 fans in behind a full mesh, 1 fan out, positive airflow.

[@ph11p3540]

I picked this case up at Memory Express not realizing what it's true nature is. It's almost a shock with number of major changes I have to adapt to and learn. Overall, mostly good changes but connecting the motherboard rear to the outside is really cumbersome. At least most fan configuration create positive overpressurization to keep the dust out at the minor sacrifice to total air cooling. It's a very sexy case once you cram with an AIO CPU liquid cooler kit even though I am not a big fan of such unreliable kits (their pumps suck and break down in a couple of years)

[@righteousone8454]

I really appreciate these fan config scenarios

[@Cab8819]

my dude just exhaust the fans on the rear (next to the gpu), intake the 3 fans on the right side of the case, that should move the heat saturating the gpu along the glass(as heat mostly dissipates towards the left (glass) side of the case) without losing cpu temps.

[@nadtz]

Had one of those silverstones and now have a Torrent, having big fans on the bottom and no glass/rgb puke with the Torrent and good temps on air makes me a happy camper.

8:48 They're releasing smaller CTE versions: C700 & T500

[@myrddinemrys7161]

Fantastic Case. The only downfall was you cannot mount the radiator inside on the side panel exhaust. A 360 or like mine H170i Capellix with fans inside running as exhaust blocks the ATX power cords [CableMod] from coming through the case pre cut slot. There is no pre cut on the mounting bracket for the intake and output tubes for the radiator to be mounted outside by the wiring case area. So I used tin snips and a file and was able to mount the radiator outside and the fans inside. Running in idol the 13900k at 5.5 OC is 30 to 34 degrees RTX 3090Ti Suprim is 28 degrees. Full boar gaming with iCUE set on extreme cpu averages 78 degrees. Best case over the many others i have ever used.

[@Bart230]

You should try with no exhaust, just 3x3 intake front, back and bottom, then leave top and side unpopulated. Or only exhaust with top and side populated.

[@ChrisM243]

Interesting concept. TBH, I'd prefer a case with this many spots to place a 420mm radiator with a standard layout. I wish they'd make that as well, same size as this one but regular orientation.

It would be nice if you color coded the RGB fans for better illustration. ex : blue for intake, red for exhaust..

[@ferdgerbeler8494]

Ummm, the 011x dynamic/metalligear neo qube already does that with normal mobo orientation, since the powersupply is moved behind the motherboard, it leave the bottom open and draws air through the bottom, across the video card, and exhausts it out the top..

I like the concept. Just like the PSU's with cables plugging into the side instead of the back, it makes some sense. I like my BeQuiet 900rev2, because I have 4 bays with 2 SSD's each for storage of my massive art collection. But I think BeQuiet ought to consider retrofitting the 900 cases for this. The cable attachments are a bit awkward.... but I suspect once built, for most folks it's not too often you need to change things a lot.

[@itsdeonlol]

[@damncritics]

Man case manufacturers really need to get some people with basic engineering knowledge on board because frankly, the layout of this is abysmal. The whole chimney setup is just wrong in the context of modern high-end GPUs with flow-through heatsinks. In this configuration, you've basically no choice but to exhaust the hot air from the GPU right into the intake of the CPU. There is no way to get clean, cool air to the CPU in this case. A traditional layout but with the CPU fan flipped around to take air in from the rear would be a lot better. Then both the CPU and the GPU have their own cool air supply and exhaust into the front of the case, allowing for much easier exhaust configuration. You wouldn't even need too many fans, just enough to get the GPU and CPU the air that they need, and one or two fans to exhaust the hot air. This is a configuration that's commonly used in the NR200, which allows for extremely good cooling using just a couple of fans. On a full-sized case, you'd have even more options. For example, you could provide modular paritions to prevent the GPU exhaust from mixing with the CPU, a space below the GPU to stuff a shitload of side-mounted fans to increase the air pressure on the GPU intake, modular ducting systems, etc.

[@CoolColJ]

The Silverstone Alta F2 did it right

[@Dexx1s]

Well, this was kinda made for water cooling. At the very least, the CPU has to have a radiator. For a custom loop, as I'll be running in it, there's be no problem at all. For air cooler, the smaller C700 would make more sense, since the fans by the motherboard are removed, so the front fans are much closer to the the CPU.

[@riba2233]

Unfortunately this case has a major flaw, this GPU orientation doesn't work well for most of gpu coolers and you will see around 15c higher temps. And no amount of fans will fix that... So you have case that is too large, has too many fans that add to the cost but you still get worse thermals compared even to really small cases. Dmitry great review as always :)

[@JakobJancic]

yup. Had to rotate my old FT02 case because of this problem. Its a great concept, but most modern GPU cards are unfortunately not compatible with this orientation.

I was completely set on this case to cool a 4090 until I saw a comment like this on another video - a few hours of investigating later and it does appear to be an issue. It is a common issue with small form factor barebones cases with 90 degree mounts. People tipped their cases 90 degrees to a standard rotation and temps dropped 15 to 20 degrees.

I don't think this thing can outperform HAF 700 with 13 fans.. Dimitry pls test it.. you have one! 😁 I have that case but also an old system ( saving for new one ) so i can't compare it.. Btw pc looks cool and "odd", i like look of it.. but i think they can't figure out how to cool properly gpu.. Would be perfect with some custom made heatskink for gpu, which will have lenght of 120mm fan and fans can blow through it.. that will have big benefit in this config ( in theory lol ). but how gpu's are designed right now.. no matter where or how you put it it will have the same temps.. fans hit the fins and goes on sides.. Maybe i cross now in science fiction but would be more logical we have third party gpu heatskinks/fins which was longer and you can force air through them, not into them..same principle what we have for CPU heatsinks, just not to be in that shape ofc.. idk that's just my thoughs 😁

I'm not surprised in a way that this is a Thermaltake case as it somewhat reminds me of my Core P6 case.

How about front exhaust, top 240mm liquid cooled gpu exhaust, bottom -back intake, .... Wonder how would it perform.

Thermaltake needs to make an updated Core V21 cube case as that also has really great airflow due to the mesh sides (save for one side being a plexiglass window) and I can orient the fans anyway I want (with the front intake being a 200mm low RPM thus silent fan). This has helped me keep an air cooled system at the 40C mark in the middle of summer.
