Episode 465x36x24 - Deepcool CH160 Case Review

[@MrYevelnad]

This is like a fatter ccaw c2 but more premium and support full tower cpu cooler. Though it doesn't support matx.

[@ASTIGINGTUBE]

My kind of Lunch box

[@ranzu8732]

Yup my next build will be ITX. Mas makakatipid ako sa space

[@melsandi1737]

I own this case building on it now 🤩

[@czdot]

How did it go? Mine is on its way.

[@itxaddict7503]

The future is ITX.

[@LeonOwO]

The only downside is the maximum GPU length of 305mm, this case can have a massive air cooler but not a massive gpu

[@VincenzoWoo]

haha first to like.. im gonna have that 1..dis year..haha

[@RynSushi]

Would you recommend using the Deepcool CH160 over the Tecware Fusion?

[@rockyismael]

The fusion is a great "rival" for this but IIRC, it has smaller clearances for GPU (if using an ATX PSU) and air coolers.

[@RynSushi]

@@rockyismael ooooh Id love for an ITX build comparison on a budget wit lyk pros and cons hohoho

[@itxaddict7503]

It's got a handle!

[@JinGJLA]

Good case but waiting for Lian li dan cases a3. Downsizing from atx to compact matx. Wanted this case but mahal talaga good am5 boards and psu

[@itxaddict7503]

DanCase is awesome but in a completely different category. Looking at between 5x and 10x the price.

[@Justice397]

Bro makes a video saying its on a budget but doesn't say the components so we don't know the price . FFS

[@RockOrso2]

Good thing I prefer midrange parts para may ventilation pa rin kahit ITX siya, also kudos to Deepcool for being heroes to peeps wanting to go ITX pero minimal yung size tax since mobo nalang yung mahal, given kaya mong makahanap ng 140mm ATX PSU.

[@rockyismael]

Most ATX PSUs are 140mm naman. Mga high-end and high-wattage (some 850W and most 1000+W) models lang yung beyond 140mm

[@DungNguyen-fq7vw]

Will it fit a m-ATX mainboard? There are spaces.

[@mattscomp]

Too small for MATX I do hope DeepCool will make slightly bigger version.

[@akimaralte]

Looks like some matx will fit. I can also fit some matx motherboard in nzxt h210 but without gpu because there are only 2 slots. This has 3 slots at the back

[@m0n0bl0ckworld7]

ok ba to kung nasa taas yung power supply ng mother board ko? AB35ON Gaming Wifi gamit ko? ilang storage sir kaya nyan? thanks

[@rockyismael]

It would depend sa PSU and cooler na gamit mo. Wala siyang cutouts sa likod for cables so yung EPS and outlet cable ng PSU, nasa taas na rin so it's possible na di na kasya yung 24-pin cable for motherboard.

[@kurtsebastianclavo7372]

Boss kaya installan ng 2 120 fan sa top pag naka atx psu?

[@rockyismael]

It depends kung anong CPU cooler and fan (possible with some slim type fans) pero most likely hindi.

[@rmanunciacion4968]

Hello, how much is the overall cost of this build? Thank you!

[@hwsph]

this was around PHP104k more details here, instagram.com/p/C9Ckx4-MVS_/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@ajpewding4058]

@@hwsph Thats "Budget"!? In the Phillipines??

[@hwsph]

@@ajpewding4058 sorry to clarify, this video is reviewing the CH160 case which is relatively inexpensive for an itx case the CH160 build that I mentioned on IG is different from the build we did for this video

[@ajpewding4058]

@@hwsph Oh you titled it "gaming rig" so I thought it was the entire rig that was budget. Meanwhile youtubers from US are building with in this case with 600$ builds, less than half of yours.

[@alexisandrewsantos2033]

Please share the hardware:)

[@rockyismael]

Sure! CPU: 5600X Mobo: B550i Aorus ITX RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB GPU: RX6800XT Reference Card PSU: ATX PSU 850W Air Cooler: Deepcool Assassin 4S Storage: 1TB SATA SSD

[@kameiakaishin8004]

only if that glass was also mesh

[@rockyismael]

There's an upcoming mesh version!

[@Revin2869]

My issue if I went to an ITX build is how much of my exisiting stuff can be reused :(

[@rockyismael]

With this case, you'd probably only change the motherboard and possibly the cooler (if it's an AIO or air cooler higher than 172mm). For the GPU, you'd only have to swap it out if it's longer than 305mm

[@melramos1831]

kaya ba lagyan ng matx case to?

[@rockyismael]

No, ITX only

[@arifnurabidin2509]

Can this fit for MATX motherboard??

[@rockyismael]

No, ITX only

[@jerbjerbjerb5912]

160mm psu ba yan?

[@rockyismael]

140mm

[@wha1485]

anung cpu fan yan?

[@rockyismael]

The CPU cooler is Deepcool Assassin 4S

[@wha1485]

​@@rockyismael ganda parang outdoor unit ng split type na aircon.

[@pkpnyt4711]

Sayang, di makahinga ang gpu. Too close to bottom grills. I definitely prefer a vertical oriented case ala meslicious vs nr200 layout. Its cheap though, which is its big draw. Sana may option na mesh for the side instead of glass.

[@rockyismael]

As stated in the video, during our testing, we averaged around 70C for gaming (averaging 297W) so thermals are no problem. Plus there's still space at the bottom as well as the space outside the case as it's lifted by around an inch via the case feet. Heck, we've seen other builders put a 4090 here with no problems.

[@pkpnyt4711]

@rockyismael At what ambient were you getting 70*C? Is it 70*C exact because you said around 70*C that could be 69-72*C.What games did you run, or is it 1-2 games only? The type of game you play also makes a big difference.

[@rockyismael]

@@pkpnyt4711 ambient temp should be around 25c, games and apps used (1440p, mad settings) were Cyberpunk, RDR2, timespy bench, Diablo 4, AC: Odyssey and cinebench R24 GPU test (all tested and averaged values for about an hour). Plus FYI for our thermal testing, it's not about what game to use so much as what usage can draw the most power load as your primary metric is GPU wattage during sustained loads and as I've said, we've clocked it in at an average of 297W for the 6800XT for all tests.

[@pkpnyt4711]

@@rockyismael The reason I'm skeptical is because you were using a reference 6800XT in the video. No reference 6800XT has ever averaged 70*C only, specially here in the PH. Especially in your scenario, the reference you're using is in a mini itx case. That's why I'm aking what the exact Temps are.

[@otepdotnet]

wala naman problema sa temps, for an mitx case is maluwag na yan

[@AM93000]

Terrible case

[@itxaddict7503]

HAHAHA! The price is awesome. The quality is awesome. The compatibility is awesome. What exactly are you talking about?

[@jerbjerbjerb5912]

@@itxaddict7503 a smaller zzaw c2 has wider compatibility with bigger components.
