The Deepcool CH160 Hits Different... | SFF Mini ITX Gaming PC Build | Assassin 4S WH

#Deepcool #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - It's been a short while coming! Deepcool enter the CH160 into the small form factor space. Let's talk about that...
Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons!

The CH160 from Deepcool is an affordable Mini ITX chassis which removes the complications often associated with small form factor PC builds, and instead takes things back to basics without many compromises.
ITX builds by definition should be small and portable, an ideal size for those building eSports PC's and value their ease of service and lightweight movability. The CH160 is without a doubt one of the most simplistic, yet efficient cases in this regard. The perforated mesh panels allow for high airflow with minimal fans, this in turn leads to great cooling with low noise.
The lack of radiator support could be a turn off for some, but with the cases ability to house most, if not all full size air coolers, there's truly no reason to skip this one. Graphics card length limitations could be troublesome, but again if we're being mindful of the target audience for a case like this, it's unlikely you would be building with an RTX 4090 inside.

The combination of large air cooler support, solid construction and portability makes the Deepcool CH160 one of my favourite ITX cases so far in 2024. Furthermore, the Assassin 4S cooler is able to move lots of air quietly and the design language is perfectly suited for this setup.
What's your thoughts on the CH160? Could you see yourself building a small form factor affordable setup with this? Let's chat in the comments! The CH160 will be available from MAY 2024 onwards.

Apologies for the weird murder gloves in this video. I ripped a hole in my thumb whilst refurbishing the second studio and I gathered you didn’t want to see that 😅

Not the thumb, but for sure the second studio!

For everyone that wants a small pc like this but doesn't want to pay the ITX tax (itx Mainboards usually being more expensive) take a look at the Jonsplus z20. It's a case with basically the same concept that's just a little bit bigger but it supports mATX Mainboards.

I got the CH360 Digital after your CH360 video about a month ago. The CH160 looks tempting as heck, but I like my CH360 Digital build. I actually transplanted a mini-ITX build from January 2020 into that case and upgraded the CPU to the Ryzen 5700X3D and ended up using the Freezer 36 ARGB.

As always a wonderful build and film/editing. I have a challenge for you. If you had to get the best performance you could into the smallest package you could with perhaps Micro ATX form-factor for more than one PCIe. What would you do? Perhaps it could be a project! =D

The use of gardening gloves for PC assembly is the most hilarious thing I have seen today :D

They are specially building gloves, but actually left a comment for why I wore them 😅

[@Kurashinno]

With so few fans too, I'm shocked the airflow was so aggressive. Love the simplicity

[@blackomegax]

Smaller internal volume means less cubic feet, means more air per CFM of fan actually moves. (oversimplified. if taken to an extreme a case with no internal empty volume could be effective with barely a fan. and that's how ultra-slim laptop cooling effectively works so well.)

Very clean looking build ! What do you think of the assassin's 4 series coolers ? I got one for my new build and I find it VERY noisy, especially the 140mm fan in the middle. It goes away with proper fan curve and silent mode but as the hot days arrives I fear for the thermal performance... Do you think noctua nh-d15 is better in terms of noise ?😅
