Thanks for the review, that's a great looking case. Some of my favorite builds in the past were in SFF cases.

Great Review. I build a white one up with the ID-Cooling 240mm AIO White, together with a 120mm fan mounted on the rear. The fit for the AIO pump is just nice, below 50mm. Changed the fans to ARGB & it looks very nice. It is a value for money case, imo.

Good job deepcool. back to basics, budget friendly, no dramas itx case.

@ClearSpade Месяц назад

I was able to fit in a Colorful 4070 in mine which is 327*151.2*67.1mm. It took some patience, but the GPU fits from end to end perfectly. Because of the height of the card it also adds some GPU hang protection with the help of the front side of the chassis as a neat bonus.

Seeing this makes me want to build my next gaming pc! I've no experience doing so, came from console in 2019 via a gaming laptop (to see if I'd like pc gaming). I'm pretty invested in my pc games now, i think I'd like to stay with pc, so I'm considering this when it comes time to replace the gaming laptop! Thank you for posting!

@Max-wl5ll Месяц назад

consider just buying a monitor for now, it delayed my pc purchase quite a bit

That power cable is a let down tbh. The design is good, but I still think they should've added a few centimeters to give way for good clearances in the case. I hope they make a V2 for this.

@PATRK55 2 месяца назад

Would it make sense to create back to front airflow? Have both the front fans exhausting and flip the cpu cooler? The FE card releases heat right in front of the cooler, so flipping the direction would make temps cooler wouldn't it?

@yanni-duff Месяц назад

yes, it is objectively better that way

@emmetthawthorne Месяц назад

I am curious how big of a difference that would be. And you can put in that exhaust at the top aswell

@yanni-duff Месяц назад

@@emmetthawthorne remember seeing some graphs, back to front is better like with the NR200P, the extra top exhaust fan though doesn't make any discernible difference.

@trollerbladdering Месяц назад

This case would have been a perfect 10/10 if they made it 10mm bigger in H/W/D, gave it an optional mesh side panel, and an optional solid top panel. The airflow design we saw from the Fractal Torrent proved that air coolers benefit from a closed top. A system this size, with an air cooler is like a dream to me. I'll never liquid cool one of my personal systems again. I had a custom dual loop leak on me back in 2013, and I had a closed loop cooler from "Reputable Big Sailboat Brand" fail on me in just under two years. Plus, I spent almost a decade owning/operating a ubreakifix franchise in the Miami area. The number of liquid cooler leaks I have seen is terrifying to say the least. This case is so close to perfect though. I feel like DeepCool really knows what they're doing these days. To think, a decade ago they were kind of cringe in the industry. Now, they're dropping one heavy hitter after another.

@fishberk 24 дня назад

the closed solid top actually proved the exact opposite. the heat didn't escape well. That's why they put slits on the new ones.

@trollerbladdering 24 дня назад

@@fishberk Fractal added top ventilation to the torrent? Or did DeepCool add ventilation to one of their cases that previously didn't have top ventilation?

Do you think it would be better to run the assassin 4s with a rear case fan, or the assassin 4 with no rear case fan

@ElevatedSystems 2 месяца назад

Depends on the CPU but I’m sure someone on RU-vid must have done a side by side comparison of the two coolers.

@Happi-HD 2 месяца назад

the CH160 is a good more recent take of the lian li TU150 with better ventilation but falls short on ssd storage, having a weird psu wire cutout when smaller cases didnt need this, and being cheaper in general for build quality. looks like it's still a good lan case but imo the lian li/dan cases are better and smaller

@ElevatedSystems 2 месяца назад

@AnirudhTammireddy 2 месяца назад

Portable cases with glass panels make me so scared to even imagine owning them. Isn't metal cheaper and better for travel? Idk why companies do this tbh.

@TheTastefulThickness 2 месяца назад

The case is only portable if you run around with it. Otherwise its just a case. 90% of people arent carrying this like luggage to go to their friends house. We just use it to pick up and take outside to blow the dust from the cooler fins. It's not that complicated. Also a perforated front panel option is coming.

interesting case, even though mATX is the sweet spot for me personally. The portability might be a bit of a gimmick though, wouldn't you just buy a gaming laptop instead?

@ElevatedSystems 2 месяца назад

Only if you want half the performance for twice the price. The price to performance of a gaming laptop vs a desktop is not even close.

@LCJammer 2 месяца назад

can't someone properly make a matx case similar in size and design to this with vented panel and no stupid pigtail power plug lol

@rzkrdn8650 2 месяца назад

Saw other reviews of it. seems the optimal flow is back and bottom intake, and front and top exhaust. My gripe with this case is that its size barely compatible with mATX mobo and common ATX powersupply (150mm). it's a shame really. Oh and all that cooler height clearance is rather wasted imo, just to fit their latest and greatest cooler to upsell. could've used that depth for cable management chamber.

@megadeth8592 2 месяца назад

That is NOT optimal cooling for this case. Where did you hear that?

they made something great and ruined with tempered glass panel. Why do you put tempered glass if its made for travelling. Deepcool is great but every product they made is flawed things like this.
