The best mATX cases combine airflow with great design and clear cable management but its been a long time sine I've been excited about one. But the ASUS PRIME AP201 changes that in a great way. The AP201 price and everything it offers from GPU compatibility to airflow makes it one of the best small form factor cases I've ever seen.

mATX.. the forgotten middle child.

@Medsas Год назад

speak for yourself, all my friends built matx…

@CastIronEric Год назад

ITX outshined it due to the fact that if you are building mATX, it's because you're looking to build something minimal and for a while, ITX didn't offer full feature sets. However, now those boards do and have for quite a while.

@BenyaminLorit Год назад

In the western market perhaps. In Asia, it never left.

@1ncandescence737 Год назад

I agree, I searched for so long but still didn't find a good matx case. There are very few choices when it comes to parts compatible with itx cases and they are all much more expensive.

@aerosw1ft Год назад

@@BenyaminLorit mainly because it's cheaper than ATX.

@dracer35 Год назад

I love M-ATX. Never understood why it gets neglected so much. This case looks pretty decent.

@achannelhasnoname5182 Год назад

I can tell you the reason. The size difference between ATX and mATX mainboards is very small. So this could have been an ATX compatible case if it was just a few cm higher.

@fran2911 Год назад

@@achannelhasnoname5182 The size difference between ATX and mATX is the same as mATX and ITX thought, so you can make the same argument

@dracer35 Год назад

@@achannelhasnoname5182 I'm well aware. I have built many ATX, mATX, and ITX systems. I still believe there's no one size fits all. Different people like different builds. For some, they want smaller than ATX even if it's only slightly but need more IO than what's on an ITX board. Or for others they don't need everything that's on an ATX board so if they can get an mATX board for $20-30 cheaper, they are super happy. More options is better. Last thing we want it to be forced into only having one size.

@SamLoki Год назад

@@achannelhasnoname5182 My o11 air mini absolutely supports ATX, but I need to go mATX (which I prefer anyway) to have a top mounted AIO along with bottom fans for the GPU. overall the case looks much more filled this way

@kaspervendler1726 Год назад

Its amazing, I did 2 builds for cusins in it each with artic 360 AIO and atx PSU. Its also possible to fit a third 120mm fan in the bottom intake, but it definently needs a fan gril for it to be sensible.

@SmokeBloody Год назад

I got this case a couple of months ago. I spent so much time choosing the most practical case and I am pretty happy with my choice! Things that I love: - No tools needed to remove the outer plates. - No stupid RGB lighting - No unpractical glass doors that add weight but are just to show off your RGB lighting - Mesh plates that help to ventilate the case - It's long enough to fit a full-sized GPU (Zotac RTX 3080 in my case) - USB-C port on the fron panel - Quite lightweight - The price is pretty reasonable (Cost me about $80 USD) Things that I didn't like (because of the mesh walls): - The walls get dusty quite fast - The noise level is probably higher than with more enclosed cases.

@conprika540 Год назад

I gonna buy this case,can I ask you do you see any problems of this case ?

@HondoJarrus Год назад

@@conprika540 It's an amazing case but the front I/O USB cable is pretty thick. I had to get a right-angle adapter for the USB header on my Aorus B550 Pro-P motherboard otherwise the cable kept interfering with the fans on the GPU. Dust could also be be a problem long term depending on your environment; it might need get the dust blown out regularly. That said, it's gorgeous, it fits my Sapphire Nitro 6700XT no problem, and everything stays really cool. Great case.

@yeahfelix Год назад

holy crap i have the exact same gpu and am planning to do a m-atx build for the first time! the aesthetics that come with this case are so pleasing and the fact that you could just carry the pc through your house is cool. its also not obnoxiously big and, as you said, not an rgb explosion.

@SmokeBloody Год назад

@@conprika540 Sorry for the late reply. The only small downside for me was that cable management is something you'll have to spend your time on in this case. Also, not exactly a con but I added 2x140mm and 2x120mm fans but they lowered the temperature only by a couple degrees Celsius, probably because the mesh walls are doing a good job at ventilating the case already.

@YoukoZuki Год назад

One more reason: there is a glass-side variant of this case too. Still have all of other sides being mesh so still ventilate enough :D

@gkato Год назад

I thought it was just me but from the comments it seems that a lot of people still have love for mATX cases. For me it's the best size and it really should be the default for everyone. It has the only full bandwidth people really use for their GPU, enough space for ventilation, so no concerns like ITX cases, enough length for most GPUs, smaller footprint, enough to put the case on top of the table and of course the cheapest motherboards.

@kevinmoehring8259 Год назад

I agree. I went ITX when I built my last pc, but mATX every time prior. My old enclosure was a Fractal Mini R2. So it had soooo much flexibility. I use it as a NAS now, so since there's no GPU, I can have 6 3.5" drives, 2 2.5" drives and 1 m.2 ssd. That's an insane amount of storage. Even with a full sized GPU, you can can still have 3 3.5" drives and 2 2.5" drives. SLI/Crossfire isn't really a thing anymore, a lot of motherboards have multiple m.2 slots and built in wifi. I don't get the appeal of ATX nowadays unless you're trying to go super over the top.

@NightMotorcyclist Год назад

I refused to jump onto the Mini ITX craze and decided mATX was the better compromise of small footprint but still enough expansion available.

@DDHDTV Год назад

right? I only started to question my mATX when I saw that the 4 slot GPUs nowadays would actually have it kinda tight now in my NR400

@Real_MisterSir Год назад

Honestly I never understood why regular ATX formfactor is the most popular one. Parts are more expensive, for 95% of people the extra connectivity will never be used, and the only benefit from a case-perspective is that they're perhaps a bit easier to build in and you can support 360mm aio rads etc without much difficulty no matter what price range you buy from. But why is this the standard? I do not know.

@NightMotorcyclist Год назад

@@Real_MisterSir In the older days it made sense as less things were integrated on the motherboard due to still rather large processes in manufacturing chips. Many PCs had separate add-in boards for specific tasks which was slowly being done away with as more things became integrated into the chipset or the CPU itself. Kinda the same reason it is still the platform of chioce for quite a few enthusiasts today as they can load it down wit more add-ins like more NVMe drives, SATA drives, GPU, Capture cards, sound cards etc. An ATX sized tower also has plenty of space for multiple radiators or tricked out custom loops or just more space to cable manage. mATX is a good compromise for those who don't need as much add-ons and would take a smaller footprint that still offers some expandability as opposed to Mini ITX systems.

@kevinlim7974 Год назад

Hope to see more mATX cases in future 👍 I feel that they are the ideal form factor for the 'intermediate-tier' users, as they are essentially like ATX but without the additional PCI-e expansion slots. They aren't so monstrous and imposing as ATX.

@keiz_ Год назад

I'm so happy that more mATX cases are coming out. I love the smaller size of mATX, but ITX tends to costs as much if not more, and you lose a lot more IO, and I use up all my USB ports. Was needing to get a smaller case for a family member's computer, and wasn't wanting to have to buy them all new parts for an ITX build, so will definitely check this out.

@anglo-dutchsausage344 Год назад

I saw this case last year and knew I had to have it, so I bought it. It's absolutely gorgeous. It looks very unique with some RGB in it as the square mesh creates a pixelated effect. I love how my GPU seems to almost fill up the bottom of the case, while not being suffocated at all. I saw someone on reddit who managed to get an extra 120mm fan on the bottom and even one in the front using the rubber anti-vibration mounts. They kind of fit through the mesh of the bottom panel and inner front panel. I did the same so I have 8 fans (4 in, 4 out). I do have a small form factor PSU which helps with the front fan, and you will lose your option to place an SSD there. Also I turned the PSU so it takes in air from the front instead of from the inside of the case. My el-cheapo Artic p12 fans are quiet in this case, but you do hear air flow, but also I don't hear it because I game with my headset on.

@JohWong Год назад

I've been literally looking at this case for months and waiting for a big fish to review it. I decided to buy it yesterday and picked it up today in store and then I see this! Thank you for diving into it. I feel you about the psu mounting options and I think I might just take that weird cover off, but for my first matx case, I'm super stoked. Compared to my lian li mini - it's shorter, narrower but longer and I'm excited to move my stuff into its new home... eventually.

@MrJhawk27 Год назад

I just finished my daughter's build in this case and loved it. Plenty of room. 360 aio is a snap to put in. I am running the max 6 fans and there is some vibration on the lower fans, but the rubber washers eliminate the vibration. Great review. I agree with everything you pointed out. Thanks.

@ArneMandell Год назад

Using four $0.02 nylon washers as standoffs usually solves fan noise - I started doing this on all my builds as it also helps to isolate NVH.

@elmalloc Год назад

@mohd5rose Год назад

What is NVH?

@klwni Год назад

Noise vibration harshness

@percy543 Год назад

It can help but a lot of the issue come from having the fan blades too close to the mesh. A spacer would be the best bet to quieten them down.

@alexanderpopov3587 Год назад

Thank you for the great review, this seems a nice case. The water cooling right on top of the PSU gives me anxiety though.

@HondoJarrus Год назад

I did my build in the AP201 last month; it is amazing. Easy to build in, full size Sapphire Nitro 6700XT & full ATX modular PSU, everything fits great. And with the fans I put in, everything is very, very cool. *Great* case.👍

@stephenn504 Год назад

Finally this case is getting some good coverage. By far my favorite case I’ve used. Glad to see hc review this. Retail is $75 usd but I never see if for that price. I have the black and white versions and couldn’t find a issue other than limited cable management behind mobo tray. I’m t fits my xfx 7900xtx without issue as well. Great work!

@sql64 Год назад

did u add any extra fans and how are the temps and dust

@stephenn504 Год назад

@@sql64 removed stock prime fan and put 3x120mm and 2x140nm fans in. Temps have been great. Use a nzxt t120 on a 5800x3d and temps hit 72c gaming and 80c all core. Must be from the airflow from all sides of the case. I can’t recommend this case enough, dust doesn’t seem to be an issue but I use a blower on it every few weeks because I have one for building pcs. You won’t be disappointed with the case but I wouldn’t pay more than $100 for it imo

@Rosaslav Год назад

I really like this case layout. As compact as possible without having to compromise on price or performance. A decent selection of this type of cases on the market currently, compared to when I bought my Jonsbo UMX3, which was pretty much the only one with this layout, I could find at that time. The real challenge with these cases though is to find cpu cooler that can be rotated by 90° on AM4/AM5. So you could follow that vertical airflow properly.

@Dee0426 Год назад

I love matx! I went with the Fractal Define C. I build a pc for a clients podcast and decided to go matx. So many features! Boards with wifi are surprisingly hard to come by but they are priced way better than atx. I went with a 12700k for fast video editing (thanks to QuickSync) 1660 super for nvenc and an Elgato cam link pro to push all the dslrs into OBS

@marekkocian6672 10 месяцев назад

@thetechrealist Год назад

Finally, more nice case designs for M-Atx! I transitioned to M-Itx mostly because there were absolutely zero good looking cases that were practical. I ended up with the nr200 which I found was the least limiting M-Itx case but I definitely would have considered this and the fractal pop!

Bought it last year, it replaced my previous Define Mini C TG and the GPU temps are so much better. Build quality is top notch. Even fits a 280mm Liquid Freezer II leaving the psu in the highest position with plenty of space in the bottom for cabling and ssd's. To reduce noise from the bottom intake fans I used noctua spacers to distance my a12x25 a bit from the mesh.

Another, similarly, prices case to look at in the mATX range is the Sama IM01 and IM02. They are basically larger NR200 cases in styling but they bring what is great about the NR200 to a MATX with no need for modding.

I am the only adopter of the ITX in my group of friends in Brazil and, damn, it's not only expensive but also really hard to find good components that fit into small computers. For example, paying 450 reais for the Cougar QBX is nuts compared that you could pay 260 in a Montech Air 100 that has way better construction.

i have pretty much always been a matx person, don't want a giant tower. Just moved my main rig into a fractal define 7 mini and i absolutely love it.

@NIVO1972 8 месяцев назад

I was able to re-rivet the case back together and it's hard to tell that it didn't come that way. It's ridiculous how much fits in this case and I love it.

About freakin time! I have always loved m-ATX, and that is especially true now that most ATX boards barely have 3 expansion slots on them. I just don't get how most people don't find 4-5 slots to be perfect. It gives you 2 slots for a sensible GPU, a slot for a sound card, one for a RAID or capture card and maybe one more for anything else like expanded USB or WiFi/BT card. Now if we could just get some premium m-ATX motherboards again instead of all of them being budget boards now days. I still have multiple ASUS ROG GENE boards in use and they have more functionality than about any m-ATX board you can buy today.

The build is so clean

More ❤for mATX. For some reason it's the least released form factor, but the best imo. Compact yet 4 dimm slots. Always liked it the most. ATX is uneccessarly big and itx is to limited. Nice to see the power cord connector in the back being vertical, on NR200 its not, which ruins some fan/radiator configs.

@mawandaeed Год назад

Was wondering when you guys were going to bring this brilliant matx case for review. It's just dope. I'm waiting for the release of Dan cases a3 matx and choose between the two depending on price.

@khyron6 Год назад

Yeah no temp. glass. Case looks Great thanks for the vid. You Rock.

@brads2041 Год назад

Two years ago I would have been excited as I was an mATX builder but I finally built an iTX for my current build and happier with the smaller footprint (NR200)

@SephirothVG Год назад

I just built this case for someone. It easily fit a ATX PSU, mATX motherboard, 280mm AIO, 2x120mm fans, 2x 3.5inch HDDS and two 2.5inch SSDs along with a 6800XT. No problem at all :)

Just bought aerocool cs-109 couple of days ago. Very surprised about how much space there is and the airflow. Definetly loving those small non-itx cases.

@sparda4glol Год назад

I just picked up this case from Micro and was wondering why no one was talking about, Holds everything my torrent did with a small bump in temps. Amazing case. Have not been this impressed in a while.

@SW-lw6mt Год назад

Moved my itx build to this case few weeks ago and it's great, squishing things into a small case was just too stressful.

@pss3461 Год назад

Please review the Jonsbo D31. It addresses some of the issues you have with this case!

@dwaynestimpson5449 Год назад

Not into TG, I just ordered the black version. I have always used matx cases and this one looks great and functional for the $79 price tag. Thanks for the great video!

@lendldumadag Год назад

I am still rocking my Fractal Define Mini C with current specs. I just love the form factor if mAtx. Not too big, fills up the entire case with peripherals and 4 ram sticks.

Have an matx build in my Azon cart but could not decide on a case or color. I think this case in white with the glass side is the winner, Thanks!

I only use M-ATX for years now... for me the best size for computers at the moment... Also one of the best cases and not very loved is the TT Core V21... cheap and amazing for all around build.... Horizontal Board placement is the best for air cooling... Not so much tension on the air coolers and even for the gpu the vertical stand is way more stable and secure... It allows 1x200mm, 2x140 or 2x120 on the front, 1x140 on the back, and then on top you can get 2x120 + 2x140. Cons of that case... cheap built panels (mesh, or acrilic)... Not enough mesh filters (but it can be purchased from demciflex) only usb 3.0 ports on the sides. Go ahead purchase one and test it out...

@sleeplessnight5238 Год назад

I’m really tempted to getting this case I already have a o11 air mini but the size was a bit too big for my desk. this case looks perfect

@mrmrmrcaf7801 Год назад

I bought this case last year on Black Friday when I built my PC, I have a 5800x3d and 6950 xt in there and the temps are very good. I like it a lot!

@Antopc2 Год назад

btw the spacing for the sqare mesh is inline with the bolt pattern of 120mm fans so you can fit 3 120mm at the bottom and 1 120mm fan under the psu if you use a sfx psu.

The true high king of thumbnails my guy.

@GuyX2013 4 месяца назад

I got the black TG version. Its hella nice. I was able to stuff it with two T30 phantek fans , 3 arctic P12 fans, ROG AIO and b760 I mb , 13900k bracketed and a msi trio 4090 . With the glass closed the GPU hits 60ish max temps and cpu does 70ish max temps after hrs of CyberPunk at ultra settings. Its a great case with plenty of airflow and space but you MUST use a SFF power supply if youre going to run a 4090 or other card of similar size.

@AKG58Z Год назад

It just looks beautiful in your b-roll I would like to see more mini itx cases like loque ghost s1 , Formd t1 and done Chinese brands would also do.

@cinnabarsin4288 Год назад

Love this case and built my new desktop and HTPC in it this year. Wanted something I could run air cooled almost silently with half the cost and pain of ITX. There's definitely things to consider for air cooling (intake CPU from the rear without a rear fan, and do a bottom to top exhaust flow personally), and PSU size is super important (get a 140-160mm in length max to make your life easier, 180 fits but it's going to take a lot more bundling and smushing) but it's easy to work with overall. Noctua Redux fans have been great for this too, found them to have less noticeable motor noise than the slightly cheaper fans I had installed originally.

@Michael-pf1in Год назад

I was thinking redux this thing out. Tower cooler and all six fans.

@cinnabarsin4288 Год назад

@@Michael-pf1in In my desktop I've got 2 NF-P12 on the bottom and 2 on the DeepCool AK620 cooling a 13700K (added the sold separate rubber pads to the cooler fans), and in the top I have 2 NF-S12B and 1 NF-P14S over the PSU. Went airflow focused fans in the top since there's nothing they would really have to deal with resistance wise and the 140MM over the PSU and CPU exhaust gets that heat out of the case like nothing. Have the bottom fans at like 35% fixed, top fans at around 45% fixed, and CPU cooler on a curve. About two feet off to my right on my desk and I can't hear it until it gets under load and then it's mainly the GPU fans anyway. I'm super happy with the Redux performance and being around half the price for like 80%+ of the current gen Noctua performance.

@whiskeredgundam7765 Год назад

This is looking to be a strong contender for my next build.

@mortagom Год назад

Looks like a rebranded Jonsbo D-31 (Which does have a TG Version) Still a nice-looking case, I was looking at the Jonsbo D-31 that has a built-in monitor on the front which is removable. Keep up the great work.

@invasive175 Год назад

just built a pc for my living room in this case with parts of facebook marketplace, for my first micro atx build it was a dream to build in, my 2060 super runs at 60c or lower and the processer never hits above 50c on a stock cooler, such a great value

@NightMotorcyclist Год назад

I was looking at the black version of the case for months now and there are 2 in stock at my local Micro Center. I was about to pick it up until I saw the G Skill LT1 mATX case which looks very nice as well and it's cheaper.

@jceeejc Год назад

4:18 The mounting supply bracket they should sell a sfx bracket but what I winded up doing was used my old nr200 sfx psu case to create more space for gpu and aio. It’s not a perfect fit so the latches on the nr200 psu cage needs to be warped slightly to fit in. But this enables 360 aio and a 40 series gpus to fit.
