In your opinion, but that's absolutely fine. Cases are probably the most personal aesthetic choice you'll make with your computer. I'm not saying it looks bad, just a bit bland. If they'd made the side window with triangular covers in the top left and bottom right to make a parallelogram that met up with and reflected the front, it would be more interesting and unique.

@@danielbyerly1772 Absolutely 100% bullshit statement. Have absolutely no bias what so ever. In my very first review for the channel I compared a £100 be quiet aio to £350 worth of Corsair custom loop and the aio performed better! (All be it with a 360 rad Vs a 240 rad on the custom loop) The case was genuinely shit. If you look at other comments I have given people a wide range of cases as alternatives and said this was worse than a £60 silentiumpc case I reviewed, because it is. It's garbage. Go look at any MSI case review on gamers nexus and you'll see the same thing.

because the build quality is poor. The materials are cheap, thin and flimsy. If i took the MSI badge off you would think it was from a small unknown budget brand.

hi there sir, I have a question for you if you don't mind? I have this same exact case and i haven't really had any problems with it in the past. my question is now that i have a rtx4080 in it. it seems to get quite hot when fully utilizing the gpu and cpu in heavy games like the Witcher 3 with 4k ultra and ray traced effects, do you think if i buy the 100p version of this case which has the vented front instead of the glass front that it would make it better and be able to breath more efficiently? could the fact it has the glass front instead of the vented front be holding my system back for being able to breath better the best that it can? also, i have one more question. in the specs sheet it says that the vertical gpu mount is compatible with a riser 3.0 cable and i never notice that it stated that in the specs before and i have a 4.0 riser cable connected to the vertical mount, do you think my rtx4080 would be running on the 4.0 or the 3.0 if the gpu mount is meant for a 3.0 cable? or is there a way to check to see. any help would be appreciated, i have the 100r case but am thinking about either buying a new different case or buying the 100p version which has the vented front panel.

@MakinComputers2 жыл бұрын
you can buy concentrated anti-corrosion and groeth inhibitors to use with any distilled water. I wouldn't risk using a random homemade solution, I'd use something specifically designed for pc watercooling. It will last longer and you don't run the risk of damaging your blocks or rads. I also rarely change coolant unless I have to drain my loop for an upgrade. as long as there are no problems, leave the coolant alone. don't buy into the myth that it needs changing every 6 months or whatever. I've had coolants last for years because i don't mess with them. put it in and leave it alone.

@@kommandokodiak6025 That's exactly what the corrosion inhibitor is for, to stop the nickel, brass and copper you'd find in the loop reacting with each other and why I'd strongly recommend using a proper coolant from either mayhems, corsair (also made by mayhems) or EK. They're specifically designed to stop the metals reacting with each other. I've had mayhems pastels and ek clear coolants and had them in a loop for up to 3 years undisturbed, with no ill effects to the components. Use a quality coolant and the extra you spend on that is well worth the piece of mind that they're protecting the £400 worth of watercooling components they run through. If you're worried about things like staining or opaque coolant fallout or clumping, then use a clear coolant. If you get mayhems concentrates, they cost about the same as 1ltr of premix, but will make up to 30ltrs of coolant.
