MSI Project Zero build / MAG PANO 100L PZ

[@qT_p13]

As someone who is into cars as well, seeing clean runs of wires and hoses looks so cool, and being able to mask the clutter shows skill and attention to detail. That said, at least there is still the aio and the gpu cable thats showing, so it maintains a pristine look. I just cant get behind the direction the industry seems to want to go in. It seems pointless, and it kind of ruins the aesthetic appeal to me

Great build as always James, looks amazing. I'd love to see a full review of the case. I can see a couple of minor flaws - a few of the fans seem to be at bit blocked at the intake side. Not a huge deal if you're running low power parts but I can see your CPU temps look like they need all the help they can get

[@JonathanPilson-mu3rg]

Blocked ? Really. Never noticed that. Well caught !

[@DarwinBrookes-ss6on]

Good catch never spotted that. Wondering if it will impact real world results.

[@amdforlife5591]

I dont think it will affect airflow at all

[@EricDavidson-cx7bz]

Funny the thought crossed my mind at various parts of the video, but I think the air flow isnt blocked, not any more than a very tight airfilter mesh would make on flow anyway. Ive tried to look at it from the various angles I can see in the video, but dont think it would be that bad at all in teh real world. I agree, James - it deserves some investigation

[@johnerikson2443]

[@SimonBennett-fw6zq]

Could this build BE any more basic? There's clean and there's sparse 😅

[@marcski07]

Petition they make the top panel have a hollow top so we can have push pull configuration. So the free fans are at the top, and the fans you bought like lian li will be inside of the case, like this one, my OCD side cant stand that the fans in aio are different from the case fans. While it is a really beautiful build, It looked a bit off because the fans at aio are not the same as the case fans.

[@Francioslusi-kg6cx]

Seems a bit narrowminded of a comment IMO. There is a good aesthetic reason for project zero and the other manufacturers options too. Gets rid of a bit of clutter around the front of the motherboard. Surely thats a good thing. should even help airflow around the VRMs too

[@LlethanderDrae]

Just used this case in a build with a 7950x3d and a horizontally mounted RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO. Been using it for about 2 months now playing a variety of games like Cyberpunk, FFXIV, and Throne and Liberty, all on the highest graphics settings at QHD resolutions, and the thermals are just fine. I used 3 120mm fans intake on the side and bottom with a MAG Coreliquid E360 AIO and another 120mm fan on the top and back respectively for exhaust. In real-world gaming situations I'm seeing thermals for both CPU and GPU even after long multi-hour gaming sessions at generally no higher than 60C, so I have no complaints with the overall cooling performance in this case.

Hey James after building this - does this platform appeal to you for your own systems? always curious to know how you feel about it all. You were quite diplomatic in the video. Are you sold on Project Zero?

[@KitGuruTech]

I like the concept of Project Zero / back connect motherboards especially for hiding the fan/RGB/front panel cables etc but I still like custom sleeved power cables matching the system colour theme. I also think other hardware needs to catch up for the completely cable free system, as you still have CPU coolers, fans, graphics cards etc with cables on show.
