Regarding the funny threading of the side panel screw. This is what happens when one uses a Steel Screw with and Aluminum Thread. If you are not careful you can easily cross thread the screw cause the Aluminum Thread to be stripped. The easy way for the user to avoid this is to learn proper screw starting technique. When starting a screw turn it backward (counterclockwise) until you feel the screw drop into the thread then turn it clockwise. If you do no not feel the screw drop into the thread correct the angle of the screw. This problem is prone on small gauge threads. This problem can be avoided if the case manufacturer uses a hard metal thread insert of medium gauge. At the very least brass like a Pem Insert.

I found that the rubber bumpers that fit over the standoff screws for the side panels do not line up with the holes in the glass. This is probably why many people end up cross-threading the screws. A workaround is to remove the rubber pieces and fit the smaller end into the glass, then hold them as you close the panel so they slide back onto the standoff screws.

The tempered glass needs to be overclocked so that it can keep up with the reflection of Steve

Probably no one will read this, but. I just finished my first AMD build (5800x/Crosshair VIII) and used this case to house it in. It had previously been home to a Z97 gaming setup. This was also my first build (I've been building since the mid 80s) where I've made an attempt at cable management. The result on all fronts is spectacular! Since you had made such a point of air cooling issues with this case I did some thermal testing under various scenarios with the one I'll address here being the airflow concerns. Full disclaimer, I have 9 x 120mm and 4 140mm PWM fans and an TT 360 AIO for cooling. First I tested with all the glass removed in virtually all fan profiles and had CPU temp of ~38C and GPU @ 52/53 C (GPU on 0db mode). Added the glass panels and immediately saw a temp decrease of ~7C on the CPU and ~10C on the GPU. Then I put all fans (and by the way, do you have any idea how hard it is to have good cable management with all these TT 2 foot long fan cables and controllers !!! ... but that's another story). Turned all fans up to full (~1600 rpm) and the CPU dropped another few degrees down to 31C and the GPU dropped also. Took the GPU off 0db and the GPU dropped to to 31C also. ALL fans, except the 6 x 120mm on the radiator, are pushing air into the case, only the radiator and Thor PSU push/pull air out of the case (A revision I made after watching your review - Thanks Steve!). In full silent mode at idle CPU runs at ~38C and the GPU around 41C - in silent mode gaming can be problematic with CPU hitting a scary 71C with the GPU going up to ~83C. In full speed fan mode (MaadDaawg profile) the machine laughs at gaming hahaha. Only way I could improve temps would be a full blown custom water loop but none of my Feser's will fit into the case. Case cools extremely well on air/aio with sufficient resources.

I recently bought this case for my Threadripper build, here's my list of issues that I've had with it so far: - No PSU shroud at this price :( - No PCIe cable for the vertical GPU mount (seriously would be a few cents..) - Claims E-ATX support, E-ATX motherboard covers all cable management holes... - Can't really easily pick the case up to move it unless you remove the front panel or side glass doors Looks great but there are a bunch of small issues, cool to see you also mentioned most of them too :)

The more I watch Gamers Nexus the more I realize how inferior most of these larger tech channels are.

Is been a year since this and i just bought this case for my new year’s update, and honestly there’s little minor things that people mention but once you see this case is so beautiful. I am stoke to build on it and have it running.

Right at the end, though. Some spooky stuff going on there

That ending gave me nightmares

I much appreciate the way you pace and conduct your videos. You take enough time in each graph for people to absorb what’s on the screen, even at speed X2 playback! You also cover pretty much everything one would want to know, objectively, and without fluff. Way to go man!

Thank you Gamers Nexus!!! Been looking for a good review on this case for a couple of weeks now. Great round up and answered the majority of my questions.

I absolutely luv this channel! Thanks to everyone involved for making such a great channel!

Awesome video! I have been eyeballing this case and this was enough to sway me into getting it. I really appreciate the in detail explanations and benchmarks. I look forward to checking out more Gamers Nexus videos.

Steve the type of guy to use a thermometer when he makes coffee

The subtle shot a LTT was classic.

I love how this guy can talk for 20min plus on a subject and give you amazing data driven perspectives. Since I've found GN and der8aur I can't stand seeing a Linus video in my feed. Thanks for your hard work!

Minute 6:41 you can clearly see GN is a member of the illuminati! , all hail Hypno/Snowflake! \o/

I have this case and absolutely love it. Great review, as usual.

Many of us have purchased the cooler master vertical gpu mount kit and just modified the stock pci cutouts and works great, it keeps the gpu back from the side panel another 2 inches or so.

You dont necessarily have to take the glass off to get to the filter. Also, I used 3 140mm in the front, just used double sided tape for the top 2 screws since there was no screw mount. a little jank, but effective.

I've got this case and I love it. It has a lot of room for expansion and I just love the presence it has on my desk.

I have the white version of this case and it is gorgeous seeing the all white interior contrast with all black hardware. My next paycheque will go towards replacing my crappy old water cooling setup with one filled with milky white coolant in a large reservoir to add to the black and white effect.

Great review. I've had this case for two years now and it definitely takes some tweaking to get the best results, but looks great.

Great Review, question, Is it possible to use different brand AIOs and fans?

Hey Steve, love and appreciate the consumer and data focused content. Since you guys move cases around a ton during reviews, why not build a simple lazy susan to put it on for filming? Cheers!

You can put a couple washers on the rubber pieces that the glass sits on to lift the glass away from the sides a *little* bit more. It definitely helped my temps. My fans are set up for slightly positive pressure.

This is an awesome case iv had it for over a year now and it keeps my 5700xt and 3700x super cool. I have 2 x 140mm fans in front and one in the back. Also I added 3 fans on top. The air flow is awesome I feel it while sitting at my desk. 👌 FYI this thing is massive haha but awesome

Steve from the glass panel never looked at me while talking. Please tell him to do so in future videos. :D

I bought this case in 2021. Didn't realize it was a bit on the older side. Case purchases are cumbersome so I can't really complain now that I have it and I've built in it. Only thing I wish it had that newer cases have are USB Type C ports on the chassis

I bought this case in 2020. Didn't realize it was released 3 years ago, but it's probably the only full tower besides the Be Quiet Dark Base Pro 900 that was worthy of replacing my aging Corsair 760t

Steve, I would like to get the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 2080 and mount it vertically. I also want to use the E-ATX Z390 AORUS Xtreme board, but those two things were concerns of yours with this case. So should I even bother using this case or is their a better one for me to consider? What about Corsair's new Obsidian Series 1000D? My concern was the vertical gpu mount because it looked like it's only for the lower mini-ITX system used at the bottom and would not work for the upper system. Is their a website that explains positive and negative air flow in cases that you would recommend? Have you done a video on that I could watch? Thanks for your help.

Loved the review. I've purchased the Thermaltake View 71 RGB. I noticed a lot of builds leave the fans in stock positions on move the rad and fans for AIO coolers to the top. My plan was to leave the stock fan in the back (for exhaust), move the front two fans to the top (for exhaust), and front mount the AIO (Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R Addressable RGB AIO) to the front. Good idea or not? What's your opinion on push vs pull? A lot of builds seem to use pull (probably for aesthetics or noise), but I think push would be superior. Thoughts???

I mounted a Floe 360 AIO with six fans in a push-pull configuration. I mounted it on the front and inside, yes it takes up space but hearing that a front mount AIO provides cooler temps then a side mounted or top mount. Had to DIY so it could reach the CPU so I came up with the six fan config, it works, temps stay around 74-80 Fahrenheit. Also, I have a XFX Rx 580 vertically mounted, a 120mm fan in the back and three 120mm fans on the side where the AIO could of gone and the three 140mm that came with the case on the top. So far I have cool temps all around and you can feel the air that is being pushed out of the Case.

i'm getting this case for my new build & i'm going positive pressure so air is flowing out of those gaps with 3 front intakes (140mm), 2 bottom intakes with the 280mm cpu radiator, 3 top out takes (140mm) & 1 back out take (140mm)

That is one very pretty case. It has my idea of balance in style to function. It is also what I would buy to show off hardware and RGB and that I had lots of money to spend on all things pretty. Yes, I would like to have one. But my gamer sits under my desk where it belongs pumping out FPS; its only purpose. Thanks for a great show and tell and review on the tech stuff.

I like this case, I'm happy I got it for my build. I want a liquid cooler now, unsure if 420mm Radiator will fit just find up on the top of the case

Bought it. Love it. Best all around case I've ever owned aside from the weight.

Hinge doors are a MASSIVE plus for me. Only thing that would make it better is if it had a handle instead of thumbscrews, kinda like Corsair's 400C

I have a Thermaltake View 71 Review and had it since 2017. Would love to just get a new one with updated i/o not had a problem with it it is a joy to work inside. Just heavy thats all.

*LMAO I CAN SEE YOUR FACE IN THE CASE'S WINDOW!* 1:05

Loved the parts where you read reviews and confirmed some of these negative claims on the case.

I was able to add thee 140MM Thermaltake RGB fans to the front panel of my Thermaltake 71 View. I preferred having a two and a half view of the three larger fans than the smaller 120 mm that did not fill in the width of the case space.

Enjoying your review. Do you know a solution or a source for a power supply shroud? I love my Thermaltake View 71. For the style, and the inflated co$t, TT should have included one. Thanks.

been looking forward to the H500P review ever since computex.

How loud is this case? I'm currently using the Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced and it drives me nuts when recording audio. (My mic is about 4 ft from my case)

quick question, does the front intake opening allow the installation of a 140mm rad placed at the top of the front intake while having the 2 drive cages installed as well?

Well actually, it supports 3 140mm fans in the front, but you have to use 2 zipties to mount the one on top😂, also you can place fans and even a radiator where the harddrive cages would normally go and mount the hard drive cage to the front of the case.

The end.

Wow, eATX only partially supported! I was disappointed that the 570 had so little room and this is not much better. X370 Extreme seems to be the only eATX that'll work in these cases since it's only 269.25mm wide. View 71 is a drop dead gorgeous case.

this case is amazing, my temps stay always on low, very very good air flow

Good vid Steve

Will a Noctua NH-D15 fit in this case and the glass door still close?

Would be cool to see coolermaster HAF vs silverstone RL06. I know it's old at this point but I'd like to see how the old school mesh design with the 200mm side intake fan stacks up to these new cases. Particularly on GPU temps just seems like the side intake is a must have IMO if you are doing an air cooled build.

When you're doing torture tests and showing the graph, you should show both CPU AND GPU temperatures. Just a thought

Dooood. That highkey jab at linus 😂

Hey Steve awesome review good job man, I want to ask something to Steve or anyone else who can help, how much space (in cm plz) have a 20XX GPU from the glass when you place it in vertical position?

Is there much dust buildup from the open margins in the side panel? How well can positive pressure protect against something like cat hair?

Would be a good idea to add exhaust fans to the bottom when GPU is setup vertically? I got my PC's always on a milk crate so I got clearance.

Case screw issues with Thermaltake have always been the case. ... Ha. But no, seriously: Thermaltake's QA/QC with case quality is not always the greatest, especially with resilience to oxidation (quality of case finish/paint) and chances at stripping threads (material quality). I have a Thermaltake Core V41, and they present all those issues that are really minor, but they still need to be considered, despite its overall performance and flexibility.

Here's a case! Now lets see an ad for a different case! lol

There is a thermaltake VIEW 32 mid tower version of this - its already sold via retailers however no review on youtube or the internet

Gamer Nexus I was wondering if you are planing on reviewing the Aerocool P7-01 Tempered Glass Edition. Now they are introducing the PRO Edition with 3 RGB Fans Included and the controler hub. It has a bunch of features for the price, rgb lighting, fan hub, tempered glass, and a front mesh cover for a very good airflow. I would love to see a review from you. Thanks and keep the good job!

On that case do you suggest vertical gpu or not? I was just wondering..

am i able to mount three fans on the right of the case where the aio mount is ? if so so i need to use a special screw or will normal fan screws work

Do you think If you were to water cool in this case it will still be loud

I''m surprised at how decent the thermals were considering those glass panels everywhere. My little brother is gonna be buying the parts for a computer for me to build for him come Christmas, and I've been paying close attention to all your case reviews lately as a result. Not sure he'll have the cash for something like this or if eh'll wind up going with something like the RL06 (what I previously suggested to him), but I'll definitely be adding this to the list just in case I decide to buy something a bit flashier for him myself, as a surprise possibly. thanks for the review man.

Can i fit a h100i v2 on top of the case..the radiater is 240 mm..and can i install 4 fans above radiator(push) and 2 fans below radiator (pull)

I have a thermaltake x5 and I couldn't be happier. So much comparability and supports eatx. Also your harware is under less stress and wear and tear because it is horizonally positioned and not vertically.. my cards never bend and any setup i want is doable. The only thing is if you want to overclock i suggest getting a portable ac unit for your room because either way you put it you need cool air and if its circulating in your room no matter what case you have it will get hot one way or another. god bless

are you guys gonna do a review on the silverstone PM01 or is it so similar too the RL06 that its not really worth it?

great case I put three 120mm TT Riing Trio fans on the front and a TT Floe Riing Premuim Edition 360mm AIO vertical mounted and put the 3 rgb case fans that came with it, one on rear and two on top. Real happy with the look. May in the near future remove the stock RGB fans and replace them with three 140mm TT Riing Trio fans. System runs really cool and very happy with it

CM H500P next, please! C700P are everywhere already and the H500P'S price is way more accessible. Also: There is one other case on the market, which features tempered glass on a hinge, namely the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe TG. Just thought, I'd mention it :P

@steve I know this is an old video but I have the older Dark Base Pro and just wondering what that strange almost AIO like mount is on the back panel?

Can I use the stock cooler on the 2700x and use the vertical mount for the evga ftw3 1080 ti?

would the new 3000 GPU set up verticle, in this case, have better airflow due for having the fans on both sides of the GPU instead of just 1 side like the 2000 cards?

My only issues with mine are that it is huge, and occasional noise from the top case fan. I don't think it's sitting quite right in the case and I haven't been able to completely resolve that despite trying. I love the potential to add more drives. At the moment I'm running 4 plus a Bluray writer.

scary outro

If i put 6 fans in this case,Should the top be exhaust or do intake and let it blow out the gaps in the glass ?

How many mm for the thermaltake riser cable for my 3090 asus strix on this case ? 200mm or 300mm ?

Can I still have positive pressure in this case with a x3 120mm AIO chydra cooler?

Hi, is there enough space for a 240 mm top mount radiator push pull configuration without conflicting with high profile ram sticks?

I am looking for a TG case. At the moment my favourite is the Meshify C, just the dark tinted panel is a turn off for me. However, I got in contact with the sales team and they stated that they will provide the TG panels for the C series in their spare parts center around the end of the year. So one could buy the panel from the Define C which is compatible with the meshify but not tinted. So my question is: How good is the decoupling for HDDs in the Meshify C? Is one better off with builing your own decoupler? I am a silent freak but also I like to arrange my components nice and tidy... Unluckily I have to stay on budget so cases like the bequiet! Silent Base Pro or whatever are far out of reach...

had to go back on this one, Three years running closed loop, CPU and GPU EKWB, two 3X140s and the original back fan. Non stop, no issues, barely reach 75C. And I haven't done anything over 4 years, just changed liquid once, everything looked great. I have to remove and clean mesh screens every year. Every year!!! That is stellar to me. AMD 5900X AMD Radeon VII on ASUS Crosshair Viii wifi 560, (guess I got lucky before they fired all their exp designers.... Yeah, I am a CADdie..... But I love ACC and Project Cars 2. I love the dust panels, but I also change my oil every 3-4k miles.....

We build a pc in this case for display. I’m disappointed it didn’t come with the 6 fans it’s basically advertises on the box. But in person is a stunning case.

Hinged tg doors needs to be the standard. Even now, 2 years later, it's still not mainstream but my gawd it makes all the difference. I recently built in the Cougar Gemini T and the Fractal Meshify C.... Gemini T easily wins by a landslide in my book for ease of building. Honestly, if the Meshify C had hinged doors.... boi.

Great ending! Ghost Steve in the Case!

I am eagerly waiting for the H500P, god its taking forever to show up on Amazon.

I felt that the case may be too small and yea, it doesn't fit everything as standard, but it's surprisingly good when you turn all the silly lights off. The good thing is that it has a lot of mounting points for you to just wing it and throw more hdds in.

do you plan to review the Thermaltake View 91?

Hi, are tempered glass good to dissipate the heat that metal ?

I just picked up the View 71 RGB and it was actually $10 cheaper than the non-rgb variants. The black non-rgb version and white non-rgb version both cost $10 more for whatever reason at Canada Computers.

It's 2023 and I'm thinking of picking up this case, am I crazy?

I just ordered one

très bonne vidéo bravo. 👍🏻

My Generic PCIe riser cable worked Out fine.

i bought the snow edition

how do I know if I will have negative air pressure which will take air and dust in trough the sides

could you use an off-brand pcie riser for the vertical gpu mount?

Hey Steve, can you do a review on the thermaltake view 51 argb

How does this case compare to Lian Li's O11D XL for an E ATX board?
