Hey guys i'm sorry that there is no overhead video in this vid. I tried recording it but the file got corrupted. As i said if you really need to be walked through each step, you can watch an in depth build video like the one below along side my video. th-cam.com/video/XCNO48mbzhs/w-d-xo.html
I have that same cooler master small case, and the main reason I’m switching cases is because the acrylic scratches so easily, and it is way too small.
I want to switch my case, my question is...is it necessary to remove the cpu fan from the motherboard? I don't have a thermal paste and I'd need to get one if I remove the fan...is it really necessary? My pc isn't even a gaming pc, just a workstation, want a cooler case though. Thanks!
You don't need to remove the cooler if its only attached to the motherboard. The only time when removing the CPU cooler would be required is when it is an AIO which has fans attached to the case. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps!
I'm switching my PC case too, I also bought a liquid cooler, when should I install that? Before or after I mount the motherboard in the new case? Thanks!
Please help - Im doing this really soon, the original plan is using the same motherboard and transferring it just like this... But I was also thinking about maybe swapping the motherboard out for a new one? Is that safe? Will I have to reinstall windows? Will I lose data? I will hook up the same HDDs and the SSDs (which contain my OS) obviously, please let me know what you think. Will I be fine? Thanks a ton bro
If you own a windows license and its stored on those drives which you will be using, I don't see it as a problem. The only time you would lose your windows license is if those drives were wiped. Hope this helped!
I have the same case & thinking about switching soon. I say soon because I just built my PC and it works perfectly fine but definitely still thinking about changing the case.
If it is an NVME M.2 SSD than yes. If it is just a regular SSD connected through sata cables than I would advice you remove the SSD first. Thanks for the question, hopefully my answer was helpful!
I want to swap cases but I don’t know how to find the right case so I don’t get the wrong one that doesn’t fit, or if I figure out I have a Atx case can I buy a different atx case and that will also work?
Some prebuilds are def okay--HP has a Victus 15L model which can have some beefy components. However, their motherboard is a thin green PCB and the RAM has slow speed. Prebuilts always have a weak link somewhere. For example, my prebuilt from Ibuypower (2019) has a cheapish water cooler, flimsy network card, and poor case thermals. Although, upgrading these components ends up being a sizeable fraction of the original PC cost.
@@colinhendry6116 yeah I have had my prebuild for a little over 2 years now nothing has happened to it yet!!! Thank God but now that I have said something it will
Tht cooler master is literally the case i have. Gonna switch to a super sick case i got a deal on black friday. Some $130 corsair case i got for like 95. Cant wait
I have a pre-build because I do not know how to build a computer i am sorry i am stupid I found your videos to help me get better and you said something about pre-build i am sorry i am stupid i do not know how to i am sorry ☹
I have an issues. After I changed the case the fps in the games got low. Before I always played with fps 200-300. But now it’s not getting higher than 100 (30-70), it feels like I’m lagging. I updated the drivers and tried different stuff, it doesn’t really work. What can the issues be??

I’m scared I don’t wanna mess up

Thanks, helped me with setting up my pc from a Raidmax case to now a Lian li o11 mini. Thx
No problem!
same thing im getting did you have any problems
when switching cases do you keep all your files apps and data?
nah everything stays in the old pcs soul
I'm switching my PC case too, I also bought a liquid cooler, when should I install that? Before or after I mount the motherboard in the new case? Thanks!
Definitely mount that after you have installed the motherboard. Thanks for watching!
hey bro i am buying a gaming pc with a bad case and its a pre built so will this vid help with it too or not?
Yes this vid will help you! Gaming prebuilts are no different transferring compared to regular builds

@@hardwiredreview awesome! Thanks a ton for the quick response 💪😎
wheres your anti static equipment? Did your pc work successfully after switching?
Lol you don't need anti-static equipment as long as you ground yourself prior to working on the parts 😂
I have the same case & thinking about switching soon. I say soon because I just built my PC and it works perfectly fine but definitely still thinking about changing the case.
the fun starts at 2:35
Just bought a beast machine with a 3080 ti but the case looks pretty weak any website to find like artsy cases i want something that looks good.
I would say Amazon is your best bet as I currently don't know of any other highly reputable sites than that. Thanks for watching!
Hey, I want to swap to a Lian Li case but do you know which LIAN LI case supports a full atx board?
I'm not very familiar with Lian Li products so I would recommend just looking it up.
Wel its 2 years later but can i let the ssd in the motherboard while i swap the case?
If it is an NVME M.2 SSD than yes. If it is just a regular SSD connected through sata cables than I would advice you remove the SSD first. Thanks for the question, hopefully my answer was helpful!
@@hardwiredreviewyes this was very helpful thank you so much

Yes, if you own an ATX case all the parts will fit into another ATX case. Thanks for watching!
@@hardwiredreview THANK YOU SO MUCH
Whats wrong with a pre build
Some prebuilds are def okay--HP has a Victus 15L model which can have some beefy components. However, their motherboard is a thin green PCB and the RAM has slow speed. Prebuilts always have a weak link somewhere.

@@074mandy here’s hoping for another couple years no problems!
@@colinhendry6116 im hoping so haha fingers crossed
If you’re case swapping a pre built how do you know what size motherboard you have ?
Usually if you look up your prebuilt it will tell you.
I just swapped cases and.. my pc won’t power up. Please someone give me some advice
I would check all your power supply connections and also your front panel IO connectors. Also check to see if your power supply switch is on.
😅 how’d it go 1 year later
Thats a pretty cool case
Yeah
omg thank you i got a new case and im like scared to go into it.
No problem, thank you for watching!
Tht cooler master is literally the case i have. Gonna switch to a super sick case i got a deal on black friday. Some $130 corsair case i got for like 95. Cant wait
Niiice!

U r not stupid bro don't say that
You're not too concerned about anti-static wrist bracelets. In your opinion I guess that's not a real big concern. Is it?
