People complain about cases not fitting 360 mm AIO coolers, and I'm complaining there's not enough white 280mm AIO coolers.

[@GearSeekers]

Sing it with me

[@Strickland325]

I want bigger air coolers that can handle r9 and i9 cpus.

[@jGRite]

I found another one recently (Lian Li Galahad II LCD 280 ARGB AIO White Liquid CPU Cooler).

[@s_sergeant_t6433]

As I noticed from the video, using 280 AIO is impossible togethere with full size PSU. There's literally no space left between PSU and AIO fans. And if you place a radiator on the bottom then the highest point of a water loop is going to be a pump which is never recommended, but tbh I have it like that for 3 years already and everything works just fine.

[@kevint3821]

Another great review! I agree that I would like to see more type of cases like this that you build yourself. I love the idea being an avid Lego builder.

[@rolandk3543]

Very nice review! I love that concept. It makes the building experience so much more interesting and easy. I recently acquired the InWin Dubili which is a much bigger case following the same concept. I've built in a few good cases (Fractal Torrent, North and Lian Li O11) and I must say it was the most enjoyable built. Having the opportunity to do cable management without restriction for my big hands felt really good and the result is very satisfying. I hope more manufacturers will try different approaches like this and more suggest customizable cases.

[@datdudeinred]

I just don't get how the designers didn't think about blocking the already sparce vents. They should have just kept the whole interior panels open for fans & kept the outside panels same big hole design. Looks like the outside & inside was designed by different people.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

I mean. Coolermaster's headquarters is right beside the Neihu IKEA. Maybe it's not a coincidence.

[@GearSeekers]

I did notice that in the Uber

[@GR-cd2kx]

[@CyanureNeko]

Really hope this becomes a thing, I'm very limited in case selection mostly due to shipping (sometimes shipping is more than the case itself, or just no shipping available at all) and surely this could save a lot, also think building the case itself and the ability to mod just adds to the fun~

[@SvalbardSleeperDistrict]

While buying parts for my new PC during this year, I bought the Corsair 4000D Airflow white version, as I thought it had enough detachable parts that I could easily mod it or repaint it. It was a success - it came out looking really good after the repainting. But then Cooler Master release this! Now I'm sitting here and thinking whether I should buy this thing, with its seemingly great potential for modding and customisation, and complete the build in it instead 😩 such a cool idea this case!

[@gamernerd7139]

Cooler Master wants you to mod this case. For e.g. Those grid matrix holes like a lego can be used to attach 3d printed fixtures. Say a keyboard holder or a mug holder etc. They give you 3d printer friendly model files to add and build. I am thinking of a Robot theme around with a display pop up on the case itself. Add some additional fixturing like a Keyboard pull out. There are so many ideas to play around with..

[@idabss2710]

[@AliAbidalkareem]

Handle is in the way of the usb ports.

[@justatim8143]

I like the design but not the Holes as it looks like only 50% is getting through and the have More Grills on the inside which is not needed. If they air going to make it airflow focused then add more hole and make it less restricted.

Hey I appreciate your review! One question: in your testing did you have the dust filters installed between the front/top panels and the case? Because in your b-roll and where it's on your desk, I cannot see the dust filters.

[@ChrisLaneification]

Hey man! I’m just curious as to how your idle temps are so low with the 7800X3D. It seems like most of us out there are between 40-50c on idle. That seemed to be the norm. I’m personally running the new H115i and idle at 46c. Ambient temp is 24.5 usually.

[@GearSeekers]

Well your ambient temp is 24.5 that's why

[@ChrisLaneification]

@@GearSeekers haha fair enough man. I just figured that ambient temp would relate to an equivalent difference in temp. So when I say yours was like 12c lower than mine, I said to myself “ there’s no way his testing room is THAT cold”. Thanks for taking the time to respond, you’re the man.

[@vensroofcat6415]

Rear exhaust fan... Why, just why? Mental inertia? What's the airflow math and logic using one there? Really love this case design though. Except it suggests AiO while I'm a fan of air cooling towers for my own rigs. Which would add some redesign challenges. PSU, CPU and flow through GPU cooling colliding in a very limited spot. Can be solved, but it's not designed for that and then there's that extra wasted AiO space on top anyway.

[@GearSeekers]

Just use an air cooler lol

[@vensroofcat6415]

@@GearSeekers in their ad materials I have seen PSU intake facing inwards and CPU air cooler going the regular way - front to back. Imagine what happens there? My fat GPU spits out 200..400W of heat right into tiny space where PSU and CPU fight for that air? Preheats CPU and PSU (which would be silent otherwise). Flipping CPU air cooler direction isn't hard. Add filter and flip rear fan as intake - 10$. CPU solved. Flip PSU intake to front - should be doable? GPU heat - case fan right above it for exhaust. Didn't see any of that in the ad. Does everything good ~ doesn't do anything great. Business decisions force cases "universal". Looks fresh though.

[@constantinosschinas4503]

Can you fit PSU and 280mm AIO, both at top, without blocking GPU, if you use SFX PSU?

[@ALPHA17I]

Hi friend, that indeed is possible. If you have a traditional ATX PSU, we provide for a side panel mount of 280mm radiators as well. Recommend you swap the TG panel with the rear mesh panel for maximum airflow for this configuration. 💜
