Hard to believe I had this case for about almost a year now. It’s a great case, and it used to be dead silent but now I can hear a very slight clinking noise. It’s hard to explain. It’s nothing headphones won’t block out, even at low volume, it’s just weird and I don’t know what’s causing it.
At the sound test you should’ve warned me when to turn up and down the volume at 9:32 you have that small pause and i turned up the volume thinking Damn! thats quiet, then i almost shat myself when you said “now let’s turn it on” xD
Amazing presentation of this review! Thanks!

Hi, I’m Between this case and Corsair 400Q. Which one should I choose?
Your camera work is fantastic. That alone made this video worth watching!
what rams are you using?
This or Enthoo Pro?
I couldn’t hear that PC over my jet turbine PC. AMD hardware makes my room sound like a jet is taking off outside
can you install 120mm fans in front and back ??
On your front panel, do you let air flow in where the radiator is or do you let it blow out?
Дима, круто!
Great case, but these plastic clips tend to break…
E-ATX board compatiable?
top notch case and review. i would go for the windowless version if you really care about silence. i have 3 venturi hf-14 fans and a lamptron fc6 to regulate them and its quite cool and silent
nice communism accent
This case looks too much flimsy.
you are quite partial to fractal design and negative towards corsair 450, 750 and 900d
My R5 has black FANS 🙁
Green strategic delicate venture long technique daily son trade.
Thank you for your informative videos. I am looking to build pc like this, but I am wondering is the fan setup like this enough for asus strix gtx 1080, and would the pressure be positive or negative?
im buying this baby 🙂
Don’t buy Fractal Design, the “design”s are good, the quality isn’t there. The material and execution is budget all the way. I’ve been building since 1992, and the quality of materials has steadily dropped over the years. These use poor quality screws and metal too thin to stand up to shipping. Avoid. Avoid NCIX too while you’re at it (took over a week to even reply to my customer “support” ticket, and then it was basically to tell me they ripped me off with Express RMA).
Thank you very much for this video, it helped me a lot to make my choice. I was struggling hard to choose components for my new PC and spent all sunday watching reviews before buying online hahaha
seems like an almost perfect case…. the only thing seems to be lack of dust filter at the top….
for a expensive case a extra fan in the front would be nice you know
What model rams were you using?
Push Pull fans? And what is that fan in the front of the case – the tall one with the fan on top?
This is definitely close to the best case I ever owned. My biggest issue with it, is that some cool features like the mounting strips in the back for the 140mm fan. Why on earth did they not do this for their front fan sockets…!?
Screwing in a 280mm radiator onto that front fan rack was a nightmare. Unless you forego ‘front’ fans, and install your radiator on the inside of your case with pull fan configuration, setup a push config is horrendous.
You basically have to thread the fan, panel, and radiator with same screw. The fan isn’t a problem, but trying to get the screw thread to bite into the radiator, right after it managed to go through the panel for the fans. Good luck, is all I’ll say.
Having RAILS would have solved the problem, as the screw only bites into the component on the other side, you dont’ have to thread 2 things at the same time.
Next maintenance I do on this system, I’m ditching the push/pull for the front rad, and will go with just pull. It’s not as good performance wise, but it works better for servicing and not wanting to shoot yourself in the head.
Been a fan for years, your camera work and editing is top notch. Keep up the great work, I really appreciate what you’re doing!
Define R6 ?
4:50 Nvidia GPU is 32.58 cm, so that won’t fit with 31 cm!
Excellent review, great attention to detail. You’re the first reviewer I’ve seen to actually show the front mounted radiator on this case as opposed to the more common top mounted option. Case silence is my main issue.
Ordered the titanium version, was sent the black version. What should I do?
Who knew that Farengar also did computer case reviews?
Are dust filters available for the top?
