@@xBlitzzOfficial Tore it down and gave it a fresh paint job. Modified (tore down) a google home home hub to utilize the screen info screen and the voice command to operate the RGB philips hue led strips inside the case when I want them on. lastly I made a mesh side panel for GPU side
This case looks so cool. Your own popcorn machine. It's so sad to see that they cheaped out on the 3 pin fans instead of pwm. Keep up the great work you guys and stay safe.
Thermaltake cases look great but always struggle in thermal performance. I really wish they would focus on thermals rather than aesthetics. Thermal is in their name for crying out loud...
I’m really digging the new music in your latest videos. Well done. I agree that for a small form factor / itx case it’s too big and the side panels would have been a perfect place to be able to mount either a 240 or 280mm AIO. Disappointing that they didn’t. But it’s still a good looking case, and I’d wager that with an air cooler like the 212 or a Noctua (so?) the cpu thermals would be much better.
yes nick please do a air cooled version of this build!!! that is what i am thinking if i get this case...

I'm wondering about the rear where the Display Port cables go into your motherboard/cards. Please let us know. I can't see how external cables are attached to the MB rear panel ports.
Thermals on my Tower 100 are great. Youre missing a fan on the bottom seems. Also push/pull is on my build. No higher than 70c on my CPU (5800X) for anything. Gaming or testing. Great case.
I watched a video on this channel because I was looking for a certain case. One video of yours was enough to hook me to your channel. Great videos, and excellent delivery. Love your channel Nick!
I just bought this in black. I only ordered the case and some fans so that I can play with different config ideas. Share your build! I have some questions for you: 1) can you switch the side panels left and right so that the vents are more aligned with the GPU? Ie take the left side and put it on the right side and vise verse. 2) did you go AIO or air cool? 3) it sounds like you can’t fit the WiFi antennas in there with the top screen on. Can you confirm? 4) how many fans did you use and how did you orient them? Thanks!
I'm so late to the party. But, yes! this case is all about CPU air cooler. And it's so interesting as an example of a "negative pressure" case. It is a "chimney" "negative pressure" case. This gives PC enthusiasts plenty of ammo to talk the ears off of anyone who's looking at it.
Just built one Yesterday with i7-12700, Asus ROG B660i, NZXT Kraken 120 AIO cooler, 1070Ti, orginial back fan and an additional Thermaltake 120mm PWM bottom fan. Got 76c on CPU and 72c on GPU in Burn test for 5 mins. Nice looking case and just love it.
Temperature also be the point I was bit worried at first, but for the normal usage like gaming, I have tested with MS Flight sim, iRacing and Elden Ring, turn out the gpu normally stay at 77c and cpu only 53c/20% load, even I replaced the fan at the back with 2 3.5' HDD. The only problem now is the TT fans included in this case are a bit noisy, I will upgrade the chassis fan to Noctua later. BTW the pump of NZXT Kraken 120 is IN the radiator. So if you use it in this case, the pump will be on the top of the whole AIO liquid circuit...
Just sharing a data point: Around the same ambient temperature, I’m getting 23C at idle for my i5-10400f using a $25 (after $10 coupon) Vetroo CPU air cooler and 45C for the M/B in my Thermaltake Tower 100. It has a GTX 1060, took out rear fan to put in HDDs and kept stock top chassis fan.
You can put swap left and right panels around. To have the mesh at the front. Also mounting a 140mm fan on the bottom is a good move. Also a push pull aio set up is my plan with it.
Having built in this case, that's exactly what I did with a 120 AIO. I would probably recommend using the Arctic Liquid 120 (wish it came in RGB) as it has a slightly thicker radiator. A 140mm bottom case fan would probably fit, but with the amount of cabling due to running 2.5" SSDs and a modular power supply, not even sure how much air it will bring in. I didn't use a case fan and just have some Hot Wheels down there :D
This guy does not like a small form factor pc case this is why the channels called '' Optimum Tech'' get more views in my opinion, there is no secret and there's are follow up video where it's not about new product reviews all the time it's about how to improve your existing product '' Optimum Tech'' where he has excelled even on reddit people are talking about channels called '' Optimum Tech'' does small factor case with watercooling I believe is getting more popular for example ''Gear seekers'' has stopped making reviews nr200 pretty sad I love the channel but thinking about to un subscribing because it the same thing again and again love to see the channel grow but I don't think he get this message
Dang the extended intro got me a satisfying feeling. Nice informative vid mate. Love when companies try creative ideas. Cant imagine a world without "tweezers"!
The GPU side should just be complete mesh, no need for the TG. That GPU under load is probably heat soaking that tiny 120 rad since its the only exhaust.
Im using this Thermaltake Tower 100 but im modified cutting top & below for have big space.so i can put the gpu horizontal (twin fan version) & make 2 tank pump small reservoir .can put big 240mm aio just cut top in the case modified it..My Thermaltake 100 casing look like the small version of tower 900 after i modified it to put 2 tank,gpu horizontal,lcd screen & cooler 240mm 2 pcs radiator..just cut it modified..dont worry..its fits int there
beautiful build as always GS ! love your insight Nick when it comes to building, i hope you still find building a pc therapeutic, coz it is for us watching your videos so thank you ~
I have my 5600x overclocked to 4.7ghz, with a wraith prism cooler. The stock case fans, and a MF Halo fan for rgb swag. I think temps are great for me. I idle about 40c and gaming about 60c. I definitely recommend 140mm fans for slightly better temps (like 5 degrees) and much less noise.
It would be sweet if it had mesh side panels like you said (instead of glass), and some expandabke bays at the bottom for card readers and a disc drive. Ports at the bottom would be great, toom
I wish I got one of these cases instead of the o11 mini, I love the Mini but this is bringing back the memories of wasting money on the choccy machine (claw machine for chocolate) as a kid
wonder if the CPU temps had been better with a upfiring fan on the psu shroud (as there seems to be clearance for it). think other builds have been doing this? specially if an SFX psu is used?
after years of having huge chassis which I never completely use, I am going for the Thermaltake Tower 300, who needs more than that, so tired of traditional huge tower cases for everyday computing
in same case but Thermaltake 100 Racing Green , I builded PC : EVGA 650GM SFX , X670E-I Asus Strix , AMD 7600X , MSI Gaming X 6800XT , 32GB 6000mhz CL32 Kingston Fury Renegade, 2x 2TB nvme (Samsung 980PRO 2TB + WD770 2TB) - CPU cooler BeQuiet Loop 120 with changed fan to Bequiet Lights 120 PWM Light Wings High Pressure on top Loop 120 4pin, Bottom Bequiet 140 PWM Light Wings normal 1500 4pin, under bottom (pushpull support BeQuiet Silent Wings 4 140mm 1100rpm 3pin) , on top other side of loop 120 pullpush support by also Bequiet Silent Wings 140 1100rpm 3pin mounted to bequiet loop cooler by printed on 3d printer reduction 140>120. On back same Bequiet 140 Silent wings 4 1100rpm. + 2 black grills. Everything working perfect. Of course need to remember it is ITX build and parts are powerfull and warm. But can handle all in resonable noise level and temps and also high performance and speed Mhz. Before building it I watched also Your movie so Thank You for job what You are doing. Regards :)
airflow is not bad at all and its just fine with the partial glass sides, yall just waaaaaay to picky when most of yall will never experience the freedoms of popular content creators… keep dreaming
Greg from Florida. I love your channel along with Brian @ TECH Yes City. Australia looks wonderful. Wish I could visit sometime. I just finished building my Tower 100 last week. I went AMD using a Ryzen 7 3700X with a Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI motherboard and 32GB G.SKILL Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 memory. Sapphire RX 5600 XT with Dark Rock Slim air cooler. My thermals are good with both the GPU and CPU maintaining mid to high 60C during my gaming sessions. I also loaded up with 2 - 3.5" HHD and 2 - 2.5" drives (1 HDD & 1 SSD). My boot drive is a Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 powered by Fractal ION SFX 650G. This is my gaming rig as well as my Plex Server. I too was really impressed with the build quality of this unit. My main go to cases are Phanteks and Lian Li and I'd say the Tower 100 is comparable to these brands.
The H210 is a 27L case whereas this is 5L more at 32L. However, the Tower 100 has a smaller footprint on the desk at 707cm2 as opposed to the H210's 781cm2.
Been out of the game for quite some time (if memory serves pentium III was popular the last time I built one) I seen this case when I was looking for inspiration, and started salivating at the thought of doing a mini. So I thought I'd check a couple vids to SE what sorts of issues I may run into. Nice video, appreciate the chill music for the build montage!
using Noctua fans - push pull 120mm on NZXT120mm M22 AIO, 140mm rear exhaust and 120mm on bottom with an AORUS extreme 2080ti and 5800x reaches 65c (GPU) and 61C (CPU ) playing division 2 on high settings, ultra doesn't push it much more tbh
That's amazing for a 5800. Does dust build up in the spaces between the panels? I can see a small 1mm gap in between the panels you can literally see through the gap.
@@steffithompson Maybe because it's glossy black so dust is easier to notice. Is there actually a small gap like 1mm inbetween the bottom and top panel on the sides? I noticed it in a couple reviews.
I have an similar setup, but with an 5600x b550i aorus, Rog rtx 3070, 120mm push Rog AIO, 140mm rear exhaust and 140mm bottom intake. Running games and prime the CPU never reach over 70c but the GPU shoot up to 87c and up. What is your Rpms on your intake, exhaust and AIO fans? Also fan curve on your 2080ti?
So, if we ever want to get console nubs to switch to PC, then we will need to mainstream cases like this. This is what console gamers are into. Showcasing cooler looking stuff>better cooling/performance. I just built a black tower 100, and 12 gen i7, ddr5 32gb 4800 vengeance ram, and then went full ARGB Thermaltake ring fans x2 120mm since you can put one as exhaust and one just over the PSU pointing straight up towards the CPU/mobo. I have the same cpu cooler as this one along with a Gf2 rgb thermaltake 850w psu, and rgb 3070ti EVGA ftw3 GPU. It keeps the cpu under 86 at full load playing ac Valhalla ragnarok on ultra 1440p 90fps+ , cyberpunk at 120fps+
I agreee with you; mesh-panel on the side would be helpfull... but on the other Hand... the show-effect will be gone When i look this tower; esps. as u config. it with the white light... it remember me on the little fridge; u will find in office or Stores; mostly filled with softdrinks (They are just for advertisment reasons there...) So; i wouldn´t buy this case - to big for itx; but imho it looks good Thx again 4 testing and showing it us... (cablemanagment... And btw. Long time i was fan of a other guy; which made a good job... but imho the last year he become more "showstar", than tester. I like your silent/explainig way, even with showing the important things; it´s more seriouse, and not boring as "explaining computers"... Hope u will follow your way; cause i learned a lot esps. by the coolmaster 200p
my new system is this case and i did go with the Ryzen 5 3600 and a Gigabyte Vision 3060 12 gig with a Gigabyte A520 MB with a 120 AIO for cpu up top but I did add a Deep Cool 140mm fan at bottom below the motherboard blowing up and it is super quiet and moves allot of air to help cool and left the 120 on the back of MB stays quite cool...very good looking also with the white cable mods very happy with build and a relatively small foot print on my desk and that is also what I was looking for nice review update I now have the Ryzen 5 5600x and a Zotac 3070 and I am still very happy and staying cool .even playing new world...note to self I used a Deeocool 120 AIO and i did have to trim one screw that holds top cover on because it did hit the AIO rad .
I bought this case after also buying fractal design ridge and silverstone sg13 (returning both lol) I figured the thermals would be more or less about the same between all three. I only built in the tower 100 but after reading and watching a decent amount of reviews about the thermals I was admittedly scared but when I tested it myself with a Ryzen 7 5700x + 3060 ti FE the thermals while gaming weren't actually bad at all I saw 65 and 60 for cpu and GPU mind you I only tried WZ2.0 and Fortnite but still lol. what I did do that was different (i think) was I added a 140mm intake above the PSU but in front of the mobo which I feel helps a decent amount (haven't actually tested that to confirm though. I have an NZXT 120mm kraken AIO with 2 fans as well. I will have to disagree on how pleasant it was to build in lol I kinda found it annoying to have to remove so much but I do love the look of it and I think the thermals will be a heck of a lot better than in a ridge or sg13 .
great video but I still think this case is such a waste of space and potential with mini ITX as the only mobo form factor option TT should've opted for SFX PSU only moved it's mounting location towards the middle at the bottom of the case and given more radiator mounting options in the bottom of the case. With so much glass water cooling and a custom loop is just begging to be done in this the fact that it's this size and you can't even effectively cool an i9 or Ryzen9 is just ludicrous
This case could have been better if only they made so people could use bigger watercooling... Big ass air cooler are the way to go with this case for powerhouse marchines.
