Metalfish T40 | A 7.5L SFF ITX Build | Thermal benchmarks

[@mauricedave74]

Very nice. I also build my own mini itx pc. It's nice to see someone here in the Philippines that's making this kind of content. 👌

[@sobangcha3042]

This is exactly the case I've been planning to get for quite some time now as I save up for a new pc which will be my first ever itx pc. I haven't seen a lot of content on YT on the T40, I'm glad I'm seeing one that's recent from your channel. Always here to support your channel and every other itx channel out there! 🎉❤ I'd like to also recommend for future videos that you showcase the finished build more (finished build shots or montage shots) so we can see the case and appreciate it more❤

[@manongunboxing]

Thanks for watching and your suggestion

[@sleekbeaksheek]

Maraming salamat po kuya, this case isn't so accessible dito sa Canada but I bought on FB market. Your build helped me navigate it more efficiently, had some trouble with my AXP120-X67 fitment but got it sorted with good cable management.

[@oskar4239]

I see an SFFPC channel, I like and subscribe.

[@gglltech6675]

cant wait to start may itx build, all parts are 2nd hand, except for the case which is d19 pro white

[@buries_r]

2:37 😮 why acrylic panel is crooked?

[@manongunboxing]

Hi, because cooler was too thicc

[@hansmatos2504]

Hello hello, I was wondering if this case would fit the msi 4060ti ventus 2x, which has a thickness of 42 mm? I am confused, because the advertisement of this t40 case says that, for the picture used, they used an asus 1650 gaming oc, which is aroud 45 mm. Do you know if this is true or just false advertisement?

[@manongunboxing]

Hello, yes I think so. 42mm is really just 2 slots which the case is compatible with.

[@hansmatos2504]

@@manongunboxing those extra 2 mm won't make the side panel bulge, right?

[@manongunboxing]

Yes, i measured it a while back, it looks like it will fit up to 45mm

[@hansmatos2504]

@@manongunboxing i think I found the best candidate for my desired case so far. The only thing that irks me is the USB 2 :( Do you know if there's a version with USB 3 and C or if they sell a different front I/O board separately?

[@manongunboxing]

Sorry, I’m not really sure. By the looks of it, this is quite old and I haven’t seen its successor yet from Metalfish.

[@HFPS9]

I’m building a mini ITX PC with the same case, but I’m still waiting for the parts to arrive. I’ve chosen a Ryzen 5500, a Gigabyte A520I AC, and a white MSI Ventus RTX 4060 for my build. Since I’ve never built a mini ITX PC before, I’m sure this video will be very helpful. Thanks! 👍

[@mdrob8011]

Hi. How do you deal with turbulent airflow noise made by cpu fan and vents of case?

[@manongunboxing]

Hello, sorry but I just deal with it (by enduring and ignoring it). But based on exp, circular holes make less noise vs diagonal ones. I also primarily use nr200p, it is not that loud but still noticeable during load.

[@gerwazyprotazyloszo]

Helo I wil be using the noctua l12 ghost. From your experience with these case and other similar cases. What orientation should be the fan be? Intake or exhaust. Thank you

[@manongunboxing]

Intake for CPU cooler fan, exhaust for case fans.

[@JeOw_Gaming]

Angas... Kasya po ba Micro ATX mother board (A320M-K) dyan? Balak ko po sana ilagay Micro-ATX ko dyan no GPU. Yong GPU ko external na lang since sa bahay lang naman ako nag hahard gaming. Please reply.

[@manongunboxing]

Hindi po. Itx lang po

[@JeOw_Gaming]

Ahh, hindi po kasya yong buong matx motherboard sa loob nyan metalfish? Icustom ko sana yong case kung kasya sa loob yong mobo na matx. Sayang

[@wikaychavez2620]

Pwede next build mo deep cool ch160? Budget build din sana hehe thanks

[@manongunboxing]

Ch160 ay nasa list ko na po, if makahanap ako locally, will definitely buy. Di ko lang mapangako budget build since thermals po ang focus ng content, on the hotter cpu and biggest hottest gpu that can fit po.

[@wikaychavez2620]

@@manongunboxing sure. Am5 build if possible at yung sagad na max height na cpu cooler sana haha

[@newretrotech]

I just finished a build with this case but I used an RTX 4060 single fan instead. I'm very happy with the end results but I'm a bit worried about the upgrade potential of it, 4060 it's nice but I'd like to get something more powerful in the future...

[@manongunboxing]

Valid concern. I think there is a small GPU every generation in the 50 or 60 class tier. So I don’t think you’d run out of GPU in the future. However, that’s likely the cap for this case - 60 class. I doubt that a 70 class would fit.

[@newretrotech]

@@manongunboxing I'll probably have to upgrade to a bigger one on the 22~25mm range. Either that or I'll try to mod the T40 myself with some mobo standoffs. Do you have any recommendations on slightly bigger cases?

[@Matt-bb3oz]

Planning to build this one as well sir, nice build! question lang din po possible ba yung tforce delta ram dito with thermalright axp90 coolers?

[@manongunboxing]

hello, yung question niyo po ba e RAM & Cooler compatibility? If yes, then yes compatible po. Thermaltake AXP90 has good RAM clearance. Thanks for watching

[@Matt-bb3oz]

Thank you, manong! Actually nung nakita ko review mo sa D21 pro. Hindi ko na alam kung anong pipiliin ko sa dalawa 😂 ano bang mas bang for the buck? Hahah

[@manongunboxing]

Biased and somewhat data-driven: Maka-metalfish ako recently. You get consistent hardware from a real manufacturer, hindi fly-by-night. Perf isn’t bad as well

[@Matt-bb3oz]

Thanks Manong! Ordered na to nung Lazada sale 😂 Ano ang air orientation po nitong case? Air pulling from gpu and cpu po ba to? Paano kaya exhaust

[@martinraymundo358]

Boss manong! Just wanted to ask if magkano binayaran mong import taxes sa Densium case na inorder mo a year ago. Salamat!

[@manongunboxing]

hello, it was < 300 pesos. Sorry natagalan, akala ko si FedEx nagdeliver, EMS pala. Below 10k kasi so local delivery charges lang ang nasingil. Wala lang resibo kaya medyo kaduda-duda, usually 110 pesos lang singil. Hope this clarifies.

[@akosialvin]

Best GPU is probably the Gigabyte RTX 4060 8gb Windforce OC (L=192 W=120 H=41 mm). This will also fit the ZZAW A1P as it is smaller than Sapphire RX 6600 by few mm.

[@manongunboxing]

Yes, but I don't have it. So my RX 6600 is the best hottest GPU that I have 🙂 RTX 4060 is a lot tamer, though I'd standardize to that in the future.

[@mistermix3516]

Sir magkano yung FSP Dagger Pro 850W Gold?

[@manongunboxing]

Nowadays, 7.2k po sa laz. At the time na binili ko po, 9k

[@ARCHONFella]

kasya ba siya sa backpack?

[@manongunboxing]

Kasya po kung mga 10L yung backpack.
