R̶E̶D̶A̶C̶T̶E̶D̶ rescues budget ITX gamers! | CH160 case Review (recorded pre-ban)

[@mattscomp]

Spot on. Absolutely spot on. Budget case typically has budget components inside. Surely that's the main purpose of the CH160 to give builders a taste of mini itx while being friendly to start off with an ATX PSU. A reused tower cooler. Some fans etc. It's an entry point. Or a starter SFF kit if you like. Plus no need for risers etc.

can you put sata ssd sideways so it doesn't stick out like that in the front?

I think it's not possible to give the pros and cons with this terrible configuration, being a mini itx you should maximize the build, I did it and it's truly fantastic with very low temperatures! leaving your components it would be better to create the build like this, first of all remove that terrible ATX PSU which only blocks air and insert an SFX PSU suitable precisely for this system. get rid of that stock amd heatsink which is terrible in every situation, really bad, and instead install a nice air heatsink like a Deepcool Assassins 4 or 4s (or a nice be quiet or a Noctua), then enrich the build with a good 120 forward fan that brings air inside the case, a fan on the top that brings air out of the case and another fan behind which always brings air out of the case, this is an instant Airflow case for this case! I have it with a Ryzen 9 5900X inside, 32GB RAM obviously at 3600Mhz (no less), and an RTX 4070 Ti, all with maximum in-game temperatures not above 70c degrees in the height of summer (same temperatures more or less tested on very large houses) while when it is cooler it has very normal temperatures below 70c

I humbly disagree and I think you might have missed the point of why I structured the video with this spec This is marketed as a budget ITX case. Therefore I went with a budget configuration. It's not wrong to put a powerful system in here at all, but every reviewer has already done that so I would not be adding anything by just doing the same. I came at this from the angle of someone with a limited budget but wants a compact system. And on a budget, it makes no sense to get an SFX unit which is double the cost, nor does a 65w AM4 chip need any kind of elaborate cooling. I think I did mention in this video that an SFX unit is preferable regardless I'm pleased that you're happy with your system, but don't forget that many people aren't fortunate enough to have the cash for a high end system I hope that helps

Shut the hell up.

As the humble weatherman stated: 1. This is a budget build, with/for a budget case. There are plenty 1k+ builds on KZbin. 2. The main criticism is the case could be a bit longer (maybe less wider to preserve SFF volume), that would increase the selection for compatible high end, 3 fan GPUs and/along with ATX PSUs on the side, both of which would be greatly appreciated by most.
