This video helped me alot thank you from the bottom of my heart. My build Motherboard - MSI Pro Z790-A WiFi DDR5 CPU - 14600k Case - Lian Li lancool 216 SSD - Samsung 980 Pro 1TB RAM - G.skill Ripjaws S5 16×2 32GB 6000 cl 36-36-36-96 Aircooler - Deepcool AK620 Zero Dark PSU - Corsair RMe 1000W ATX 3.0

Nice man! Glad to be able to help and nice build!

[@mxrt0]

The Lancool 216 is awesome! I ordered it and it's coming on 24th May. I can't wait! Thanks for the useful build guide ❤

[@Mdntech3000]

Awesome! It’s such a great case! Top end performance for a nice price, grats ok the buy!

[@Almighty_Flat_Earth]

This s t p_d case doesn't have power status led and HDD activity led. What a shame! But front panel connector wire has holes for led. Did they forget to add led lights? or did they not provide on purpose to make us angry? Even after paying $130 we don't get what we need. Power and HDD led lights are one of the most important things in a PC case. What's wrong with these manufacturers? Why mankind is evolving backwards? Humans have lost their minds by removing status indicator lights from PC case and removing 3.5mm headphone jack from phones. Governments should ban PC cases without power and hdd status indicators.

Nice Tips with easy to remember things

[@Mdntech3000]

Thank you!

[@Em1-xr3bt]

Awesome video! Am I correct to say, that you installed the MB in the Water Cooling mode? Air Cooled mode should be liftet up 1 row up if I follow the instructions of Lian li?

[@Mdntech3000]

Yes you’re correct to both statements! Tbh the difference isn’t too much, you’re fine either way.

[@Em1-xr3bt]

@@Mdntech3000 Okay - so I'm going to install it the same way if it doesn't make any difference :) thank you so much for this impressive instruction videos!

Nice man! Hope you enjoy the case 👍

@@Mdntech3000 the case is awesome! Just finished my build today. However I can't figure out why the RGB 160 fans are lighting up. Other than that it's an amazing case!

[@Mdntech3000]

There’s prob a minor mistake when it comes to the connections from the hub or motherboard.

Great video!!

[@Em1-xr3bt]

1. You connected 2 Cpu Cables on your PSU - do I have to do this, when I'm not overclocking? - Just have one cpu installed and therefore it comes to my mind - I should only put in 1 Cpu at psu and connect to MB ? Correct me if I'm wrong. 2. Does it make a difference if I connect the Lian li included fan hub - with the sata port of the psu or the peripheral one? Don't know what's the difference here

[@Mdntech3000]

If you don’t plan on overclocking at all the second connection is not needed. Although I’d recommend plugging it in regardless if you plan on oc’ in the future!

[@Em1-xr3bt]

@@Mdntech3000 thx - then I'll plug it in - and the 2. question :) ?

[@Mdntech3000]

It shouldn’t matter, as long as it’s getting power one way or another.

[@Em1-xr3bt]

@@Mdntech3000 I nearly finished my work - just having one last question: I'm getting the 4070 RTX Gaming X Trio in this system. Since the GPU cables from the PSU confuses me - cause the got 2 ends (wich 6:2 each) and my card does need 12+4 pin ATX 12VHPWR connector. Do I need just one cable? or how should I connect that gpu?

[@Mdntech3000]

You’ll use the provided 12vhpwr for the 4070, and from the psu you’ll use two 8 pin (6+2) that’ll connect to the other side of the 12vhpwr adapter

[@mohamedashour457]

@15:10 is from the fan hun, shouldnt it be one fan controller and RGB one and the sata, or just that one in RGB header and thats it, because i see a black cable head covered infront of the rubber opening, what is that for?

[@ALPHAdigitUNBOXING]

Nice build! Anyway we can get a tutorial on that extra screen display you have inside case?

[@Mdntech3000]

In my main rig? In this video I don’t have an extra screen. I assume you mean in the thumbnail picture?

[@ALPHAdigitUNBOXING]

@@Mdntech3000 o lol yes the main rig.

[@Mdntech3000]

I might do a video on it then. It’s an elecrow raspberry pi 5 monitor screen from Amazon. It’s connected to the Gpu using an hdmi cable and it’s mounted in my case using stand-off screws that I also bought from Amazon. Screws come with the monitor but other screws I got work better. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FDYXPT7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title www.amazon.com/your-orders/pop/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_pop?_encoding=UTF8&gen=canonical&lineItemId=okooqujrojkoqny&orderId=111-4129096-8651434&packageId=1&returnSummaryId=&returnUnitIndices=&returnUnitMappingId=&shipmentId=M4YLkS2R9

hi, how does that AK620 hold up over 7700x? I mean, does it cool it properly? Is there any thermal throttling? thanks!!

[@Mdntech3000]

Absolutely does great for the 7700x. I didn’t do a full set of thermal testing but my friend who just games says he has absolutely no problems with it!

[@vrekman256]

@@Mdntech3000 thanks

[@danielmarques8904]

Very nice video, do you think adding 2 fans on top will help gpu ans cpu coolling? Or better on bottom? In your case the temps are cold enough?Thanks keep posting

[@Mdntech3000]

You can do both but normally intake at the bottom for fresh air towards the gpu, and exhaust the top fans so the hot air escapes.

[@danielmarques8904]

@@Mdntech3000 thanks in your case with only the original case config fans your temps are good?

[@kennyyip4179]

how about the top panel fan? are you recommending 2 or 3 fans to pull out hot air?

[@Mdntech3000]

Depends on the case, two would suffice for most builds but if you can fit three you might as well install all 3 to exhaust

[@jcrispy396]

Great video! Im building a very similar build soon. Any way you could make a video discussing what do to after build is complete and first start of the pc with windows/drivers install?

[@Mdntech3000]

Yea I can, it’ll def be a long video though. There are other resources out there that talk about how to install windows and the like though for now, sorry!

[@jcrispy396]

@@Mdntech3000 do you remember if u had to install wifi drivers for the motherboard? Ive seen others with this board who have a hard time getting windows install as there is no internet access out of the box.

@jcrispy396 for this build I don’t remember if I needed drivers to initially connect over wifi…I honestly don’t remember

[@jcrispy396]

okay thanks no prob@@Mdntech3000

[@realbangbang]

*Correction!* General rule of thumb is you always check which of the ram slots are prefencially ordered by the motherboard manual!

[@Mdntech3000]

Thank you!

[@realbangbang]

@@Mdntech3000 I currently have 3 PCs, one having an asrock and 2 with asus motherboards. All 3 of their manuals specify "A2 and B2" when using 2 of the slots. I'm pretty certain most boards have the same layout in terms of ram channels. Unlike Pci-e, and m.2 slots, you should place them farthest from the cpu.

[@Mdntech3000]

Yea in my experience they almost always recommend a2 and b2, and absolutely!

[@Nimmermehr1]

Nice video, but i have two questions: where do i have to install the fan hub on the motherboard (exact name) and do i have to add a Sata to the power supply to connect the fan hub or where did you install it? Thx

[@Mdntech3000]

One Sata cable to the fan hub - this powers the fan hub. Then you can two cables from the fan hub to the motherboard. One 3 pin 5v (argb) header from the hub to the motherboard (your mobo hopefully has at least one argb header). Finally there is a fan header from the hub to the motherboard, thus you can connect to cpu fan or sys fan, either or is fine. These are the three connections needed.

[@Mdntech3000]

The fan hub already has the sata cable*** just need one sata from the psu to power it, just to be clear.

[@Nimmermehr1]

Hmm. I saw only two cables in the Video! SATA is clear now! A second connects the whole Fan Hub with the Motherboard as is understand 🙈 im missing the third one in the Video :(

[@Mdntech3000]

I might have cut too much during that part. The third will be the argb connection, which is a 3pin from the hub to the motherboard.

[@Nimmermehr1]

Ahh is it there? 9:26 - Connect to sys fan2?

[@jakersonlorenzo2035]

Can i add fans from another brand? Newbie here. Thanks in advance.

[@Mdntech3000]

As long as they are the correct size of course!

[@oozygoop1373]

I can’t seem to make my Msi mpg b650 edge wifi mobo fit in the case. Anyone have any suggestions

[@oozygoop1373]

I can get the standoffs to line up with the case standofffs

[@Mdntech3000]

Is your mobo the mini version?

[@Mdntech3000]

Tbh I think I remember having an issue lining up all the mobo screws to the case. If you’re unable to secure 1 or 2 screws to the case standoffs it’s not the end of the world, it’ll still be secure.

hi, can you tell me how to properly switch the i/o from the top to the side. i tried to do it but i cant put the front fans back, the cables are preventing me to put the front fans back

[@Mdntech3000]

I don’t have the case in my possession anymore but it can be done. I know it’s a TIGHT fit, the cables have to get jammed behind the fan mount I believe. There should be discussions online or hopefully even a video of someone doing it! Sorry I can’t
