Small error @ 16:35: CPU temp for 'NO Bottom Fan" scenario was 78 degrees, not 74. I only just noticed it prior to publishing. The front panel was closed during this run. Not sure how that slipped through. Apologies!
Hey Greg, you should consider doing a TH-cam Premiere thing - it's like a livestream for pre-recorded content, and there will be a live chat that you can participate in. Should be pretty cool.
@@matasa7463 The initial feedback from viewers of other channels regarding Premieres was rather poor, which is why we've never done one. Instead, I try to stay active here in the comment section within the first hour or so of a new video's publishing.
@@matasa7463 i personally hate premiers, i always skip ads and boring parts even though i watch when it goes live. Instead i just don't watch at all if its a premier.
Hi, Can you please check and confirm if the myth is true regarding that we should not use windex to clean PC case tampered glass?
Hi Greg, any mid tower can have great airflow if you remove the front panel. Also, was this video sponsored? Seemed suspiciously positive. Also if you have the front panel closed, having intake in the top would help. The idea of airflow cases, is that because they have good airflow you don't need to run the fans as fast and it is quieter. So having it closed off isn't necessarily quieter for the same temperature.
4:49 The 5.25" drive bay can also mount a $10 adapter to hold four 2.5" SATA SSD drives, if you want a lot of storage.
I use a 5.25" card reader/usb hub that I find invaluable.
That’s a good idea, I might use that in my new pc with the fractal design case. It has a 5.25 bay, I have used a old DVD burner to fill the slot. The thing is just bought a MSI mother board for another build and they supply a disc with drivers on ?.
Man got to admit back in the day Antec made some cases I really wanted. This case isn't bad I like still having a 5.25 bay but I still don't think I would get this case. But it is nice to see Antec still around making stuff.
Agreed! When I saw the title to this vid i was like, 'cool! Antec back in the house!'
They make some really premium cases but seem to have been flying under the radar for the last few years. I still have an old Antec Solo knocking about in the house, was a really nice case back in the day
This is the case for me, too many cases with a drive bay look too goofy or over the top for me. Something simple like this with actually good airflow does it for me :)
@@SpottedCreeper I retired my Antec 900 case a couple years ago after 12 years of service. Best case I ever used.
It's so hard to find good cases with optical drive bays these days. I think this may be my next transplant.
I still use my Obsidian 550D case as secondary system. It was designed with noise reduction in mind, before ppl started obsessing with good airflow. My 550D sets my Cpu temps in idle at around 32/34C (which most of the times it is being a secondary system) and around 40/45C when in use (no gaming). Plenty of airflow, extremely quiet and has 4x 5.25 bays. Plenty of storage space (6x 3.5"). Love that absolutely quiet case.
I love the 5.25 bay, not for cd/dvd because i haven't used one of those in many years, but rather because you can put all kinds of different things in there..
I recently switched my build to an Antec DP502 FLUX case with 3x front intake, 2x top exhaust, 1x rear exhaust, 2x bottom intake and my temps have never been better. The FLUX design with the bottom intake really helped with my GPU temps and it even pushes some air past the GPU towards the CPU cooler.
Thanks Greg for a very generous presentation as usual. I'm a 'baby boomer geezer' and I cherish my cd/dvd burner in my Define 7 case build. I've 'handbraked' many dvd movies that for me are life time favourites. It's still exciting for me, growing up in the 'tv tube' era of the fifties and sixties, to simply 'click' on a movie file and play 10 or 20 minutes of a favourite scene without any bother at all. There is so much computer space and speed now it's amazing to me to have scores of movies ready to view with just a 'click'. I can still remember the thrill of bringing out a small transistor battery powered transistor radio outside of the house. So you can imagine how I appreciate 5900x cpu, 64 gig ram (I know I don't need half of that but who cares?) aorus 570S board set up. I run windows and Linux on separate m.2 drives, each OS also has separate ssd space and I have a very large mechical drive to store my clonzilla image drives which have saved me a few times.
"and for storage, a bequiet straight power 11" -Greg Salazar 2022
came here to say this
glad i wasnt the only one who noticed it!
I had a Fractal Define and observed basically the same thing, opening the front panel meant better temperatures. Cool.
That led to overclocking, which led to crossfire GPUs, which led to me replacing my power supply for something high end, which led to more overclocking, which led to my motherboard catching fire, which left to a platform upgrade, which led to me buying a new case designed for airflow, and I've been pretty happy with my pc since.
i wonder if greg son is gonna be a technician in the future
Front drive bays are still useful. Optical drives like Blu Rays are good for making permanent static backups, and front panel card readers might be useful if you are into photography for example and work with SD, Compact Flash memory and the like.
Optical drive bays can also be used to add future front panel I/O options if you keep the case through a few motherboard upgrades.
i expect nothing but quality content like these from you,its so fun to watch your videos,keep up the good work,greg!
Much appreciated! :-)
This case looks exceedingly like my Fractal Design Define R6.
I confess that I am an Antec fanboy. Amidst some of the failures they have made some really great stuff.
I like that the case has room for an optical drive. I still use one for my blu-ray collection. Yeah, I'm that old.
This is my current case and I love it, it feels really sturdy and was easy to build in. The freebie fans are not the greatest but they are serviceable. This is the cleanest PC I've ever had, I opened it after a full year and there was barely a speck of dust in sight.
That's why I loved the Fractal Design Define S. I have two of them and they're silent but also great for air flow. They keep any system cool and what's even better is that you can fit two 360mm Radiators in it.
How good is it?
System 1:
Xeon E5-1280 V2 @ 4.5GHz
2x AMD Fury-X
Max load on the GPUs hovers in the high 30c to low 40c range. Ambient is around 26C. The CPU is in the 50s under heavy load.
System 2:
Ryzen 7 2700 @ 4GHz
2x Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro
Max load on the GPUs hovers in the high 30c to low 40c range. Ambient is around 26C. The CPU is in the 40s under heavy load.
Custom watercooled with 2x 360mmx30mm thick radiators in each. The fans used are Deepcool RF120 RGB fans which produce around 27 decibels of noise at full spin.
Systems are absolutely silent.
Honestly i love to have a bluray drive. Normally i rip all my shows to a hard drive or ill use it for virtal mechine purpo. It is nice to see one included with this case.
Wow, a modern case with a 5 1/4 bay. Nice to know they're still a thing. Main reason why I'm sticking with my Corsair 760T.
Airflow cases can often be more silent under low loads since they can get away with lower fan speeds to maintain temperatures.
at 7:15 i love how greg points to the psu and says "and for storage a bequiet straight power 11"
Man, look at the size and power on that baby. Gonna fit a lot of games with that kind of storage.
@@Shadowen925 man 850 watts can hold my entire data center worth of games
Hopefully this will be their comeback. Since they aided in setting the standard of cases. I was a big fan of their sister company Chieftec in the late 90s early 2000s as they were the first to design clear side panels using lexan. Only bad thing back then was the inside of the case was unpainted aluminum. I still have 2 original clear sided Chieftec cases. One AT and one ATX full size, back when full towers were classified as super towers.
I built a HTPC with this case last year and I love it. Fans fans everywhere! LOL
Mine's got a B550F with a 5700g, 32g RAM, Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler, RTX 3060ti, and 24 terabytes of storage. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Definitely love Antec cases, They always have airflow in mind! I still got my Antec 1100 and its just awesome. Wont ever give it up. Also the Disc drive is a nice touch :P
Love this novel designed case, Greg! Good job instructing us to it's points! The front reminds me of my main rig's Fractal Define R5 case. It too has the soundproofing material in the door and the ability to change which direction the door opens/closes! Me, I can handle a little more noise so the door is always open so temps are better. If I ever get a new case, I definitely might try the Antec P10 FLUX! Thanks for the in-depth review on it - keep up the great work!
I just bought a define r5 instead of something more modern, it seems like newer cases have less features. This case looks like it's trying to imitate the r5 as hard as it can, I even had to zoom in and go back and forth inspecting my case to convince myself that this case didn't share parts with the r5 haha
finally a case that has the option with a 5.2in drive bay yes ik it's old but i still use DVD Drives for two reasons the nostalgic feel and it's super useful!
Really nice case, I think! I wouldn't worry about RGB with this case, all performance and proper cooling.
Every couple of years, PC owners find a new word that mesmerizes them. I guess "airflow" will be this year's obsession. Last year, everyone was concerned about "bottlenecking" without even understanding what it is. Then it was "throttling."
By the way, there is no silent fan or PC. Silence is the absence of sound. The most that we can hope for is "very quiet."
That's a good basic case, because it's no frills, which appeals to me. My PC sits between my desk and the wall, so glass panels and LEDs don't mean anything. Plus, it has a drive bay access, which I use.
Another very entertaining video. Keep it up.
Very similar to the Fractal Design 7 series. I think dimension-wise that is bigger and uses 140mm fans throughout. That one is due for a refresh though. Nice to see alternatives for silence-related builds.
Pretty bold decision to stick with a 5.25 bay - but I salute their daring. Sometimes, especially for older games, I wish I had an optical drive and didn't have to faff about with making .iso images on the old office PC I use to stream with.
I had an NZXT Hush case in about 2009. Yes it was quiet but one thing I hated about it at the time and during it's use, the swing door at the front with a DVD drive. I hated it back then, so many times an accidental click on something (usually a Windows "save as" defaulting to the DVD as it was the last used) activating the drive and bang into the closed door (not enough to open it) and I can't believe there's a new case with that same front design now.
Imagine this case, filled with noctua fans (with low noise adapters). :)
I just built a new HTPC in the cooler master elite 130, I bought it expressly for the reason that it was one of the very few mini ITX cases with a 5.25" drive bay for a Blu-ray drive. It's tough to find optical drive support these days lol, because it's a PC purely to consume video content via a TV I wanted the option of playing DVDs and Blu-ray unlike my last HTPC that didn't have that functionality. They can definitely still have some use, but it's crazy to think I haven't had an optical drive or used a physical disc of any kind in years until now!
Very limited RGB in the system, I love it :D
I have been agonizing over what new case to upgrade to! And have been seriously considering Antec! The value for your money is top notch! No one even really comes close! Some cases with 4 plus rgb fans under 100!! Wow!!!!
It is warm due to a greater positive airflow. The rear fan will be working so hard to exhaust the heat out of the chassis. But I think one exhaust fan is not enough. A smoke test would be a good representation of the airflow, I guess.
You put a 12900K on an air cooler, now that is ballsy! That CPU puts out more heat than an old FX-9590.
Sad I know but just thrown two Antec cases in the tip, a 900/1 and a 900/2. I decided they were no longer of use with the old hard drive cages with the fans attached at the front and the large fan mounted in the top. They were good cases in there day.
I built my last PC (2019, Ryzen 3700X) in a Be Quiet Dark Base Pro 900 R2 principally because it was one of the few modern cases you could still get an optical drive in. It's nice to see case makers still thinking of customers like me. If I was doing the design myself I'd definitely make the cage removable, but maybe they're just using up old tooling or trying to hit a price point by saving a few screws :)
The interesting question is: would open front panel and CPU temp nomralized (so lower fan speeds) be even quieter? Gamers Nexus testing suggests this to be the case.
Some fan/rgb controllers are designed to fit in the 5 so you can see the display and adjust things manually. (For cases that don't build it in) Or an extra usb panel, etc.
The door design is Fractal!
7:15 : “And for STORAGE!” Shows the PSU… had a little giggle there c:
Having a optical drive bay with a lot of air flow and the case looking like that? This case is awesome!!!
Poor Cooler Master S600 and S400... They never got the love they needed.
00:36 seconds in and I spy a CD Drive Bay from ANTEC a classic brand... this is going to be a gooooood video. :)
Edit: Greg, thank you for showcasing this computer frame and I will definitely consider using this case for a future build for my father (Who still values a disc drive highly)
I don't know when last I've seen a DVD/Blu-ray drive in any build 😁
I'm running a Lian Li Lancool Mesh II for over a year now and it 1) has more fans, 2) runs far cooler, 3) also has the mesh basement with the option to mount a fan blowing on the GPU (I'm running that config), and 4) is about the same noise level as this. It's right around the noise floor for the room I'm using it in, that has a tower fan circulating air in the smaller space. It's nice to see Antec still making cases, but this seems like it's trying to compete with too many other better cases and as a result loses some of the functionality.
Great vid tho!
been a while since I seen Antec cases - i used to get them a lot back in the day
YOOO ANTEC IS BACK! lol been a while since I ever used an antec case but my 10+ year old antec 1000w 80 plus bronze psu is still going strong.
Your review was great except for your silliness about the 5.25 drive. This case ended up on my list only because it has a 5.25 drive bay to the outside. I'm glad the rest of it is great too.
There are a lot of USB A or C front panel accessories for 5 1/4 drive bays if your mobo has extra headers for them.
are we not going to talk about how he said “for storage” while talking about a power supply at 7:15?😂😂
I think this case is perfect for my needs, silent, spacious, closed with a door easy to open whenever needed for airflow or to throw a disk in there, got a 5.25" drive bay BUT hidden which is even better since I rarely use my optical drive anyways and it makes the case look far more better which is genius, and no tg, seeing the inside of your PC anytime you want without having to remove the side panel is thrilling and can be useful but I don't want to deal with broken glass or replace the case thanks to that at any possible point in time. Now if only I could find it in a local store nearby in my country, or any similar case, really, literally nothing I found so far piqued my interest.
Had an old cooler master case that allowed me to install a bottom fan and it did help my GPU temps, it was filtered air and dust gathered over a period of time although it wasn't that bad. I normally dust out my PC twice a month and deep clean every 3 months.
I still love my blu-rays I out one in my retro build in an old case I have.
7:14 damn that’s some powerful storage
I built my wife a pc using the Antec Dark League DP502 Flux case, and it's awesome. She loves the optical drive as she plays older PC games on CD/DVD and the 3 RGB fans included in the front and the 3 RGB stripes in the door look great. The airflow keeps the CPU cool. The only knock I have is the window in the basement showing the power supply manufacturer, do we really need to see that?
+1 get the DP502 flux over the P10. I have the DP502 and it's great.
4:00 -- WoW!! Like an usual refrigerator!
Someone needs to make a matching mini frig!
that drive bay would also be neat for a multissd/nvme drive adapter.
Good case for multimedia needs in the living room or office space, not too fancy,
i would maybe want more drive slots, but you can buy 2x 10tb drives and it should give plenty usage.
I kind of find it just a little bit funny and relatable how he still makes small mistakes with names like calling the psu storage and the dom plat ddr5 ddr4 when I've also made those mistakes especially when taking fast just reminds me of how we all make mistakes and how we are all still human. any ways i love the vid
That case isn't half bad. Definitely going to consider it in the future.
yay a decent case I can put a bluray drive in I'm a trucker and I'm trying to build a custome pc that I can turn into a movie and gaming station.
Most airflow cases have an open front panel, some sort of mesh. Cases that purport to have good airflow have a closed off front panel with side vents. I don't see how airflow can be as good with the side vents as with a mesh front. As I understand it, the fans have to be a certain distance from the solid panel, and it would seem inevitable the flow of air would be restricted since it can't be pulled directly into the case from the front of the fans but has to come in from the sides. It would seem the fans might also need to be high static pressure to get the best airflow. Another case in point would be the Omen 45L which they advertise as taking cooling to the max, but the front panel is glass with only what look like narrow side vents. Some reviewers say "there is plenty of airflow", but I just can't see how. I also wonder if you mount an AIO in the front which would mean some restriction of airflow into the case due to the radiator, if the vents on the side are thereby less of an issue.
I would really like to see you do a PC build in the Fractal Torrent compact or nano build one day.
Great Video Greg! I also built my pc in a Antec. - "Antec Dark League DP502 FLUX White" I built this last year after saving for 9years to obtain parts, only problem was video card upgrade could not happen due to cost of video cards, I'm still running an old EVGA GTX 950 SSC. I still love my New PC. I also amd of the old school & use a blueray drive. Not ready to let go of Optical media. Thanks for the build absolutely loved it.
Merry 4/20 to all, and to all a high year
Lel
with the 3 fans at the front pulling air in the case, I'm pretty sure the graphic card won't take air from the back mesh... would have loved to see a smoke test to verify the actual airflow
when you advertise ,your voice sounds like kermit the frog , thats so cool .....love it
I love the Be Quiet Straight Power 11 is my favorite storage unit too! @ 7:15 😍
and the DDR4 install @ 7:45
Had to double check the year the video was posted after seeing that optical drive
Bought a DF700 Flux like a year ago and its an awsome case, i only have a small problem with rhose front fans because they make some wierd noise but i will try to fix them and when i have headphones i cant even hear PC. Great job Antec
Nothing Beats the Corsair 5000D AirFlow
7:15 "and our storage! A bequiet straight power 11"
This is an interesting case, but I ordered the Antec DF700 Flux, Mid Tower Computer Case instead. It might not be as quiet as this one, but it does have an all mesh front panel, and I ain't scared of no Fans. 😇
I still use my optical drive so I appreciate this case.
This video made me look at some of these flux cases, and after some research, I think I have a good candidate for my next PC build with the DF700. There's a few other cases I like, but I like a lot of things about this design.
15:10 -- I like the colours! Thanx!!!
That's a great case. I think i would use the optical drive bay for attaching a single board computer.
7:16 Thats a new way of storage!
Greg, the Mugen 5 does support LGA1700 ,just need a special bracket.
Massive kudo to antec for NOT doing a case with tempered glass.... it's a fully functioning case in 2022 with optical drive bay....
I'll be honest this is actually A LOT better than lian li's lancool II mesh just because of the drive bay AND the lack of tempered glass while still having respectable airflow.
adding this case to my wish list
Hey Greg! thanx for the Video! I actually got the DP502 FLUX version of this case just recently because I have a TON of DVDs that I still like to watch and my NZXT 510 didn't support a drive, so had to use an external thru USB... My case looks almost identical, and I think they just changed the front panel to be honest.. The options screen You showed, with the RGB fans, when showing different FLUX variations was actually the DP502. Anyway... aside from the support for a BlueRay drive (which again,..I got the same LG that You have) the airflow is MUCH better than the NZXT... so definitely agree with liking this case. Thanx again for the video!
P.S. Wanted to add that the DP502 also comes with 5 fans (3 RGB in front, 1 rear and the 1 reverse for the bottom) and another difference is the DP502 does have a top vent.
Just got into pc building. My old computer gave out about two months ago. Since then, I been ordering parts every week for a build. I am only waiting on the cpu which is super frustrating since I ordered it a week ago and it still hasn’t shipped. Not even sure if it is going to work. Anyways. Love your videos. I have probably watched all of them since ordering parts for my first ever build. Hopefully by this coming week I can complete it. And then be disappointed something didn’t work. Then back to your older videos to see what I did wrong lol.
Awesome. I went for a budget standard gaming build. I just finished this build today (lots of trial and error) ryzen 5600x and just a tiny 1660 super but does the job. Now I just want to keep building. I don’t even want to play games. Computer just idles
It’s always great to watch your videos Greg. Awesome to see you representing the Car Trek shirt again too.
Greg I enjoy your videos because they are direct and to the point. No goofyness is that a word? Other tech tubers do skits get vulgar and do some click bait that is just wrong. Keep being you and what I mean by that dont LTT your channel Ill watch you more than it. Thanks again.
I am gonna be honest when Greg first said optical drive I checked the date of the video thinking I clicked on an older video.
I just built my new PC with that MoBo and RAM, it's very smart looking.
i use an icydock in my 5.25 bay, it holds two ssd's and a thin blu ray burner.. optical disc's are better than electronic devices for long term storage. The ssd's have their own on/off switches are are hot swap..
Nice color choice for the graph bars. I see what ya did there.
I have a thermaltake view 31 I butchered the front panel acrylic put a car mesh grill behind it and yay the thermaltake view 31 airflow.
CD/DVD/Blurays are making come back
thermal pad had the protector still on for the nvme slot (below nvme)
i had to check the date when i saw the optical drive
Pog new upload and I was just about to see if there was a new one
I really like that you tend to not prefer rgb when it comes to pc builds. There’s not enough slick non rgb builders on TH-cam.
Didn't remove that blue protective film off the heatsink thermal pads for the m.2 drive. :(
Many of the new cases on the market are a hard no-go for me. Why? Because I must have an optical drive bay! This case has a lot of appeal.
