Incredible Quality and Value
Pros: Exceptional build quality - S tier at this price Cools better than most ATX size cases Fits 6 fans with a 2 slot GPU installed 280mm AIO support Easy to work in Easily removed side panels/dust filters Great cable management for ITX Quiet due to its great cooling layout
Cons: The fans that came in the top vibrate at high speed making the top panel rattle. Normally they never spin fast enough to cause problems, but I use my GPU to mine and set the fans to 85%. They make a lot of vibration noise at this speed, I replaced them. Even at 100% my new fans do not make anything rattle. A bit big compared to small ITX cases (Better cooling / fits more stuff) No USB Type C
Overall Review: This is easily the highest quality case anywhere near this price range I've ever seen. I originally was planning on using this case as a placeholder while waiting for a limited supply ITX case to come back in stock. After using this case I am blown away at the quality and especially the cooling capacity. I have 0 intention of replacing this case anymore. My 3090 is actually 2c cooler in this ITX case than my ATX case. Even my 5950x only hits 82c with PBO enabled pulling 220watts. The cooling layout of this case is exceptional, easily makes up for it being a bit bigger than the smaller ITX cases. The smaller cases simply can't fit 6 fans with a GPU installed. It is a bit bigger, but it is just big enough to fit 2 fans above the motherboard and 2 fans under a 2 slot GPU, any smaller and they would not fit. This is probably near the limit to how small a case can be without making any compromises to cooling capacity. 10/10, 100% recommended to anyone looking for an ITX case.
Easy to use, works great.
Pros: Keeps my 4930k at 4.4GHz under 65c full load.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Bigger than I expected.
Best case for your $
Pros: Best case iv ever seen for the price, price aside this case is still amazing - Fits any video card out to date - Good cable management - More then enough room for the typical build - good airflow - Sturdy build
Cons: - interior is not painted - no window -only comes with two fans -doesn't support usb 3.0
Overall Review: comparable to cases almost double in price. was going to buy the haf x until i seen this case at a friends house no window so it doesnt much matter that the inside isnt painted
Recommended to anyone overclocking AM3
Pros: - ASUS! - Looks - Easy to use Bios - overclocks almost effortlessly (hit 2000mhz ram speed in seconds, at 4ghz on amd x4 970 hardly any voltage tweaks) - USB 3.0 :) -many fan headers - 4 pcie slots
Cons: - No onboard bluetooth (not a big deal) - some things are almost placed to close together( had no issues myself)
Overall Review: No heating problems at all, nb is 45 degrees C at full load(case isnt in yet so i have no case cooling
