For anyone having potential issues with the GPU installation: If you're having trouble getting the GPU covers off, unscrew the metal bit above the 2 covers, take it off, then unscrew the cover that you want to take off If you're having issues connecting the GPU to the cable, slip the tail piece of the GPU under the plastic on the right of the connector then push the GPU into the slot with a bit of force
In terms of installing any kind of fan cables: I strongly suggest installing splitter cables and extension cords to all the fan connectors before-hand. It will help you save your fingers and avoid a lot of pain :) I've built in the S400, the bigger brother of this case, and because I've been doing LP cooler tests, I had the chance to multiple times remove the mainboard; after the first test I immediately added said splitter cables to the regular case fan and an extension cord to the CPU fan connector. cu, w0lf.
that riser cable screws down against the wall so if you buy a 4.0 riser cable it will screw down on the bottom of the case .... is there a way to do that ? update .....you have to buy a dual reverse riser cable ..... UPDATE again ....need 20cm and there is not many ,found one on amazon
It comes with a 20cm, Gen3 riser cable which should work for anything that isn't the top tier GPU for $1,000. If you buy a Gen4, make sure it's at least 20cm since it fits perfectly.
If it comes with 200mm/20cm riser cable, that’s the recommendation and try not to go lower that than. I have a 7.5L, different pc case, smaller than this. The recommended length is 18.5cm/185mm. It was perfect size and snug. If I bought 20cm/200mm length, the cable would have push forward my gpu and it will not get installed.
This will be your friend: m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eV9WgI6EL.jpg . It was too tight for my comfort (your results may vary as it's 1mm to tall). I removed the VRM heatsink so I could rotate the cooler the other way.
They combined them into one easy connector. You'll have to find this on your motherboard and make sure it matches the pins on the 1-piece cable. encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSxGIgfNwXlJL0pVDiHRlsNHjgIHGy_JTtbmQ&usqp=CAU
How thin is the margin between the motherboard and the GPU? I'm thinking of getting this, but I use a rear M.2 drive with a heatsink and I'm concerned that it's too thick.
Yeah, and he keeps mumbling for the importance bits like fitting the components. Its hard to talk improv, so I wish he would do add in a voice over for clearer explanatios.
I watched the video upside down because it made more sense for me to watch it from your pov
Yeah, 100% makes more sense, he needs to flip it for future videos

I think you want the bottom fan to blow out not in because it will assist the CPU and GPU blow outside air directly on their components
I have the black version of the S300. I managed to pack in a 5800x3d and a MSI 3070 ti inside.
what cooler are you using for the 5800x3d, and how is that cpu performing in this case?

Oh, big thanks. Was just looking at what should be the length and type of the pcie riser. Was about to get 18.5cm long. Is it too short?
How long is the pcie riser cable?
How long is the riser cable needed for the case? Does 185cm enough?

@@tapts503 alright, if the order comes together means I don't have to worry the length

*Anyone use Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM with the ID-COOLING IS-55 cooler? Wondering if the RAM can just fit or not. Cheers!*

nice drivers!
How loud is the CPU cooler and are you registering any turbulence specific noise?
I can't hear the whistling noise with it two feet from me on the IS-55. The Fractal Terra has a slight whistling (aka turbulence) noise with the IS-55
thank u i wanted to see it compared to meshilcoius
My case came with a 1-piece front panel header cable and it doesn't match my motherboard pinout. Any tips? Mobo breakout cables also don't match

There is no room for a M.2 drive heatsink on the rear.
What is the size of the pcie extender?
300 mm
can i know what cpu cooler are you using there
a.co/d/anZt5eA
I wonder how you got everything for 300$. The cpu alone is 200$ 😅
the name of the case is S300
@@herculesperseus6326 its 300 dollars for just the name!?
these dyslexic cnts can't differentiate a S and a dollar sign
Cut the uhhhs.
Wanted to comment that myself. Felt like if I ran a word counter, "uh" would be at the top.
