@parthkapgate 6 месяцев назад

I think they were trying to separate the airflow for the CPU and GPU to increase the cooling performance.

@Oscar_Myk 6 месяцев назад

I think it's a case of wanting to mitigate any airflow issues caused by the design; it's clearly a form-over-function case (nothing wrong with that when there are plenty of other options)

@U1TR4F0RCE 6 месяцев назад

@nanaki-seto 6 месяцев назад

ducts in cases especially for workstations were quite common as they act to isolate components so that you could have a full sized 120 mm fan providing air just for the cpu. Then you would have another in a graphics workstation that cooled just the graphics card then 1 more fan would provide airflow for the chipset normally smaller and drawing air in from the remaining case volume provided by the 3rd 120 mm (sometimes 92 mm fan) These cases could be very quiet in some instances. I had a few of them over the years dell made some fantastic air cooled ducted cases for some of their old workstations only issue were you could not install non dell mother boards in them but their cooling was exceptional

@gags730 6 месяцев назад

OEM Desktop PCs in the late 90s all had fan ducts for Intel CPUs. It was really common for a few years. I have seen hundreds of them. I used to pick up PCs people threw out and strip them for parts and make working PCs for families that did not have a computer. In the 90s and early 2000s, a lot of people needed a PC and didn't have one or a second one for a teenager.

@johndough1695 6 месяцев назад

@MartinHiggs84 6 месяцев назад

@MR-vg7yn 6 месяцев назад

I like the idea, the wind tunnel is a bit of a throwback, especially BTX, IIRC. One thing you didn't mention (or perhaps I just missed it): The air intake filter on the bottom is screwed in from inside the case. In order to take it out to clean it, you will have to remove the PSU and then unscrew the filter. For that price they could have found a more convenient solution for that. Same goes for the power button: It may have a nice click, but that just looks like a generic off-the-shelf button. At a premium price I would expect a nice button properly integrated into the top. Pricing in general seems a bit weird: Considering the ITX version of this case has all the same base components (air duct for the CPU area, side bracket for intake fans etc, all there) I also don't really see why the ITX version is $199 and the big one shown here is $329. $130 for a size increase just seems hard to justify. Lastly, they charge a $20 premium for a Noctua NH-U12S, if you choose to get it with the case: 95 instead of 75 on Newegg. Same goes for 2 additional BeQuiet 120mm Silent Wings 4: $60 instead of $40. If you want a different "accent strip" for the front, that's another $20. That is pretty harsh overall, IMO. I really like the case, but if you're gonna charge premium for the case itself, at least have the decency to price the accessories fairly.

@RealGengarTV 6 месяцев назад

@DelticEngine 6 месяцев назад

The first thing that got me was that you have to lift the entire cover off the case. It's like a case from the 1990's or even earlier! And even then, that way of things did not last long. Maybe that's the idea, though, a kind of old school or retro style case.

@araaraavery 6 месяцев назад

It looks really slick, I like it. The glass panel on my machine right now just kinda exposes the green PCB ram, supermicro workstation board (with forever blinking heartbeat LED), dell GPU, and silver noctua cooler with the standard brown and tan fan, not exactly *A E S T H E T I C*. The rounded corners of this case with the full wrap around panel and accent piece definitely give it a vibe.

@jolness1 6 месяцев назад

A 4090FE would fit fine. I think my case has 330mm of clearance and it fits. Snug but fits and thermals are good (mid 60s peak) due to the bottom to top airflow design. Would be curious how this would handle that thermal load with the single exhaust fan

@notmyfaultthisishappening3795 4 месяца назад

I have the nebula36 with 4090 FE and 13600k with a U12A running a single A12x25 fan, and a single A12x25 fan with the noctua spacer mounted to the rear. No intake fan or side fan. GPU stays below 80C at 450W and CPU runs toasty but within spec, ~600W of heat total through 1 exhaust fan. I removed the wind tunnel as well after finding that the CPU fan mounted directly to the heatsink works in conjunction with the GPU flow-through design.

@DigitalJedi 6 месяцев назад

I love cases with cooling shrouds like that. When I built my previous system it had one for the CPU heatsink (6900K) and I made one for the GPUs (2x Titan V) so the top card in the SLi pair could get fresh air from the side panel. With my old case I didn't even have a CPU fan. There was just an intake and an exhaust fan at either end of the duct.

9:55 When did glass panels and pretty cabling become "old school thinking"? If anything this case reminds me of my old Pentium PC back in the day only in modern standards and materials: the one piece panels, no glass, no cable channels with cables routed through the components, no rgb, the absence of watercooling capability, and even the wind tunnel(we had a shroud, but the idea is the same). I like the case and they clearly put a lot of thought into it, but this is old school, my guy.

Going to have to wait to see temperatures etc and different build configuration/layouts eg the small vertical vent on the side, could you get some nice bolts for rad mounting and throw a 240 there either from a cpu AIO if you left the shroud out…. And other liquid cooling options.

@MindstabThrull 6 месяцев назад

That case is cool AF. I just wish it supported an internal optical drive because I still have optical media and still occasionally use it (to be fair, it took forever for me to phase out having a floppy drive - 2014 maybe? Yes, I'm old.). Also, if memory serves me right, PSU screws sometimes don't come with cases but do come with the PSU.

@leonro 6 месяцев назад

Oh, this looks like a really nice case if you don't want to have your components exposed, and the cooling is also interesting. But it feels a bit barebones for the price, with a relatively lacking front IO and not too many external gimmicks, like having a handle, a headphone-hanger, wireless charging, wheels, or other shticks to make you excited about the product. Even just simpler things like dust filters or a PSU cage would have completed the package somewhat. The design reminds me of my Lenovo Booststation, which I got for relatively cheap (£100) for my TB3 laptop in university. It's got a relatively neutral look that can fit anywhere, so I can see design-oriented people wanting this one. As for myself, I wouldn't mind buying it if they had an SD card reader with at least USB 3.0 speeds. But as it is, I'll probably keep my current case that is good enough.
