@@TheProvokedPrawn I watched them both - loved the long-form instructional version too. Nice contrast and both enjoyable in different ways. Looking forward to the next ones. :)
1 other youtube channel said they lowered cpu temp just 1 degree. Another said the solid glass side was better because I helps maintain the pressure of the fans ventilating the actual sources of heat.
Awesome stuff. Very relaxing. I'm looking into building one with this case in black. Almost makes me want to do it myself but all those cables...😬. Just gonna pay someone to do it lol.
Your side panel bracket mounted fans are dual 140mm intakes? I amt thinking about building in this case a dedicated server rig possibly w/out even a gpu in it at all but certainly not something of the 4000 series so I will be utilizing the side mounting bracket for additional fans but wanted opinions on if they should be intake or not? How would that affect the airflow because I've heard the dual 140mm front intake do a good enough job with just the rear exhaust that most don't even use top exhaust fans but with side intake do I want to include one or two top exhaust as well (that's 4 intake 1 rear exhaust or 4 intake 1rear 1/2 top exhaust)?
I was wondering if there are any 360mm AIO GPUs that would work with this case. That way you can use the front and top of for exhaust and the side and rear fans for intake? Probably a bad idea lmao.
Did you have any issues with the GPU not working when installing the side fans? When I install the bracket, the fit is so tight it's somehow causing the PC not to start. The motherboard shows an GPU error indication light, and won't even reach BIOS.
Some of the components I chose to put in my north have a little rgb to them. I set them all to a warm shade of white to illuminate the inside for a better view of the components. Going for crazy rgb would really take away from this case imo. Be tasteful with it and it can be complimentary. Also, this case would be great for a stealth build.

That was a satisfying, surprisingly relaxing, delightful 15 minutes. Thank you. :)
Thank you. This is a new style of video I'm trying alongside my main build guides so it's nice to know people like it

@@whalemonstre appreciate you!
What a fantastic high quality ethical video. I'm a sucker for this kind of vids. Thank you!!!!
Ethical?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Sorry, I ment aesthetic. English is not my native language.
@@louisfifteenah fair enough. You made me think you were a bot for a moment 😂
Beautiful case, great build, very satisfying video to watch. Really nice job on this one!
Thank you! Appreciate it.
fantastic design and editing. your highly underrated
Thanks
I have to think the side fans help the gpu a fair amount. There was a time when most "gaming" cases had side fan mounts.
1 other youtube channel said they lowered cpu temp just 1 degree. Another said the solid glass side was better because I helps maintain the pressure of the fans ventilating the actual sources of heat.

You get a nice satisfaction doing it yourself though
@@TheProvokedPrawn one day I will. Your video is certainly motivating me but maybe not with such expensive parts for my first build.
I didn't like the side mounting fan design after gamer's nexus review, but it's only you who can touch any case and make it look amazingly beautiful.
❤️

Can you fit a vertically mounted 4090 with 360mm aio in front in this case?
Does the side fan bracket only come with Mesh model? My case don’t have it.
I believe so yes
I can't decide if I want to build in this without RGB or in the NV7 blasted with RGB fans.
This is a classy case you don't put LEDs in it. I have even turned of aurora on my motherboard
TBF the RGB was unnecessary but I had the fans and wanted to show what it might look like 👀

Why are the side mounted fans exhausts? Doesn’t this starve the GPU of fresh air?
They're intake
That side fan on the panel surely make it cooler but block the vision. Well we can't be too greedy
