[@PCFixer]

This looks like a really nice case; I love it when cases have some space at the back for cable management between the case side and the motherboard tray! It means that you can use a non-modular power supply and make REALLY clean-looking builds!

[@Scates]

Have had this now for a couple of months, literally love everything about it. Especially the hinged glass panel

I was looking to Buy this case too... Mind You answer if the included fans can be controlled with the motherboard (argb 3pin)?... Also how's the space behind the mobo tray good enought for cable management?

[@TechLabUK]

@@chottomatekudasai-kun3887 No, the built in fans don't appear to be compatible with motherboard control but the ARGB can be controlled separately, just have to hold the LED button down to switch it. Cable management was fine, loads of space.

Hope you get the heating issues sorted out soon, or some blankets.

[@bop9622]

Thank you, i was looking for this.

[@J0nb0ysl1m]

Just to clarify I bought one of these cases. It does not come with an ARGB controller. The Fans ARE addressable but I could NOT get them to work. They have multiple connectors for motherboard control or controllers.

[@TechLabUK]

There is a controller built into the front panel. The LED button on the top turned them on and then cycles through a number of presents (Albeit not that many) then to override with a motherboard or external controller you have to hold the LED button down to switch. I'm not sure how many versions they have made of this case though but that's the functionality of the one in the video.

it is cold up there in GB. Thank you for the excellent review...

[@tomweyts]

i'm actually gonna give this case a try for my next budget build, Aerocool really knocked it out of the park with this series, but they need to start adding dust filters in the front imo. Also there are 2 versions of this , The LITE V1 for around 40 euro's , and now the V2 for 60 euro's. but i don't see any difference in the 2 exept ARGB vs regular RGB

[@TechLabUK]

I believe the V2 also comes with the GPU support bracket as well.

It supports ITX and M/ATX. It is a shame they don't do a full ATX version though.

[@anna45333]

@@TechLabUK Idealy i would add on the upper part of the case a slot for a DVD-Rom drive. I know it isn't used much but sometimes you may want to install older stuff and i think the option should at least exist. As for the full ATX i don't understand why they are limiting their target group so much. Most people have full ATX motherboards.

[@waldo1359]

What temperatures did you get and which components?

[@TechLabUK]

I haven't taken any temps but the 200mm in the front provides plenty of air to the system. The system in the case at the moment is an Asus Prime B350, Ryzen 5 1600 and a GTX 1060 and there have been no thermal issues. I have installed a second exhaust fan in the top though to help move the air out.

[@waldo1359]

@@TechLabUK I'm thinking to get a ryzen 5 3600 with a rtx 3060 but I'm not sure if the case will provide enough cool air. Do you think I should look for a different case? If so which one?

[@TechLabUK]

@@waldo1359 I think it will provide more than enough cool air. 200mm fans can move quite a bit of air. As for alternatives it totally depends on what features you are after and price range. If you have discord, join the server (Linked in KZbin header), there are a few people who can help.

[@Niick_18]

I got the v1 and my question is how do i get that front panel fan out because its broken and i wanna replace it

Remove the front panel by pulling it off from the bottom. Then unscrew the front fan from inside the case.

Today i build my pc with this case, sadly the rgb from the 120 milimeters fan die just minutes after i finish to assamble and start to smells like burn, ill keep it for now but dont know if should go for the warranty just for a freaking fan

Oh no, sorry to hear that. If it is just the fan that seems to have failed I would contact Aerocool and see if they will just send out a replacement. If it is the RGB controller within the case then I would send it back.

@@GeordiLaForgery Iv'e not used the F1 before so I can't compare but the 200mm in the front of this provides a lot of air flow for little effort so it's pretty quiet as well.

@@GeordiLaForgery One of my favourite features also. Makes it real easy to play around with your setup after as well. They do make an Atomic Lite as well which is same design really but not as wide.

hello, can we turn off the rgb ? thank you

[@TechLabUK]

Yes I believe so. You cycle the RGB effects with the LED button on the front IO until you get to the off setting and it will remember the settings. If you hold it down it will switch to the override so you can have a separate controller / motherboard control the lighting instead (If you have the connections). Hope that helps.

Hi I've had the cass for a few weeks now and since I've started to game on it the back fan is always very loud is there anyway to fix this?

[@TechLabUK]

I don't believe there is anyway of changing the speeds of the provided fans. I've had one running for a while and it hasn't been that loud. An alternative would be to replace the fan in the back with one that plugs into your motherboard so the speed can be controlled.
