MATX + SFF is such a great combination being the best of both worlds.
SAMA IM01 gang rise up
Sff is for cases under 20L this is not sff ... Even though it looks really good
i have nzxth210i , cannot fit 3 fan big gpu. Bought this case and throw an suprim x in it. Happy now.
The full mesh version of the case is really good, it allows hot air coming out of the GPU’s heatsink fins to directly exit the case through the side panel holes and the side panel is still relatively see-through so you can all your RGB goodness.
how dusty does it get?
@@zenastronomy Its pretty good really. Much less dust than all of my other PC's. That fine mesh does keep much of the dust out. If you can get away with less fans because of more mesh that will help you too.
Great case review. When I do my builds I always end up watching your videos for reference.
Awesome video fams. Nice little case. I've been thinking about downsizing from the Qube 2 case i've got. Keen to see if Computex brings some new case announcements.
love the case, loved the video. Was good to see you again after a week
Thanks so much. It's been difficult to get videos finished with all of the stuff we have going on IRL
Always a pleasure, can't wait to hear your music on the Dap
I really like this case and have been eyeing it for a build for a while now...
Still using this case for almost 6 months!! And I love it!!
Yeah I really like it :)
It took us a while to getting around to reviewing it.
Got the full mesh version last year. mATX never dies!
great video guys love the jump cuts to nick asking ppl to subscribe, got this case in black its a banger
Hell yeah! Bet it looks great!
Really good video as always! Maybe you can get better thermals flipping the back fan? With 3 exhaust top, and knowing opening panel lower thermals, i think its better to give more air into the case!
I love this case, so much I bought 2 all mesh ones for both of my builds because I was so impressed by the 1st one. I do feel like the mesh one is where it’s at for thermal performance- It really tames gpus that throw out a lot of heat allowing it to exit the case easily.
What about dust? It only have dust filter at the bottom...this is what I don't like of it
@@3dart_es409 yeah you’ll have to maybe be on top of dusting your case more, I haven’t noticed an accumulation or more than normal. I typically wipe around and clean dust every few months or so on any system and this case makes it very accessible to do so
How are the noise levels on the AP201 mesh version ? I own a Lian Li Q58 ITX case which has a mix of glass and mesh panels and I do think my RX 6900XT GPU is now noticeably louder than when it was installed in a typical tempered glass ATX tower case. Now I can also hear some coil whine from the GPU which I didn't before. The Q58 is a sandwich case though so the GPU fans are in vertical orientation which may contribute to my noticing the fan noise. I just can't decide between the mesh or glass versions of AP201 ?
@@gencoserpen1260 they aren’t bad at all honestly- I’m sure glass would insulate it a bit more, but for axial fan gpus that blow hot air out the sides when traditionally mounted (not vertically), the mesh REALLY helps dissipate heat that could build up in the case.
I’ve tried out other cases after this one and I keep coming back to it due to the build quality and ease of use.
When I fell in love with custom pc builds , my first choice was ATX cases til I saw the ap201 ... I'm looking forward to building in one especially the mesh version 😉 that launched earlier
Awesome build. I'd love to see a similar review/build/comparison with the Jonsbo D31 w/LCD. Similar style of case that offers something really unique with the built in LCD display.
I have a white mesh version and I am very satisfied as someone who has exclusively used ITX cases in the last few years. It's an excellent MATX case that isn't much larger than ITX solutions and can accommodate all current graphics cards.
The build quality is excellent and the only thing that was missing for me was a transparent side panel, so I will consider getting this new revision of the case :)
By the way, if the power supply cage is raised to the first notch, it is possible to install a front fan even though it is not officially supported, just in case anyone was wondering. :)
May i know what size of the fan can be installed on the front?
@@demyso663 I installed an 80x80 fan, but I think a larger fan should work without any issues. In the meantime, I changed the case; I got the Jonsbo D31, so I'm not able to confirm that for a larger fan.
@@BiTrAtE35 Thanks for the response
Almost went for this but opted for the NR200P Max instead. Super happy with it.
I just wish they did different colours
Man, I love mATX, probably my favourite form factor. Banger of a video fams, keep up the hard work
Thanks fams
@Gear Seekers Hell yeah, it was. The other half wants to fly down to sydney and stay locally next time.
Always been a big dan of mATX. I liked build. RGB can EAD for software too.
Loved the little sub extracts. Gave me some Shameless vibes
mATX is not dead. Never will. It has the balance of price and features. Lower price and retaining most of the features for regular users than the ATX variant.
It depends, sometimes it's even more expensive. (Mainboard and case are the main reason)
But yeah all in all I agree on that. Most likely it is the same price or a little bit cheaper. 😁
Love this stylish build with the music
Thanks!
Gorgeous 🤩🤯🤤case with great support for powerful components inside 🥰💪👍. Great case design, aesthetics and colour 🤤👍. Job well done Asus!
Loved the MCM “in the bin” clip!
GREAT!!! What a piece of art, the perfect positions: power supply at the front, air from bottom to top. The chinese Jonsbo is making cases in the exactly same way.
Sweet Build - it looks like a "White Storm Trooper" build
I have been building PC's for over 25 years and I just totally fell in love with the AP201. I downsized from a NZXT Phantom 410 for own personal PC. It was just super fun swapping my hardware over and also the versatility of the little chassis is incredible. Once upon a time you needed a big tower to fit everything in but no more. MATX sure aint dead. Personally I have got sick of tempered glass so I went the all mesh AP201. All around airflow is just such a great thing too. I also really like that diffused look of some RGB behind the mesh. Only thing I can criticize is Asus got a bit carried away with the branding. I don't think anyone wanted giant letters saying PRIME. Another plus for the all mesh version is that you don't get that.
Awesome! So i'm working on a similar build with the same case and psu. Was that the top or middle psu chassis slot to fit the aio? You think I can get an asus ryou iii aio and a gigabyte 4090 in there? Also I just learned you can flip the glass and mesh panels around if you want safer gpu breathing room.. Love the beat during the build! Reminds me of some 90's Dj Premier / Gang starr stuff!
I love the MATX. But also the massive cases.
matx mobos are usually better bang for buck choices compared to either atx or itx mobo too
You're not wrong about that!
Love the vidya mate. Keep
them coming
I love this case I will buy it for the Family Room PC that I will be building later this year
Noice!
Also there is the Jonsbo D31 mATX Case with an Optional Screen. Looks like the Asus Prime and also really cool.
Beautiful end result.
I am using this case right now. It's bigger than I expected. I was expecting a case with similar size as the SAMA im01 and support 280 AIO.
Is it OK to have the power supply fan on the inside of the case?
When I do this it gives me more room for the 4090 OC edition to fit in as the wires/connecters get in the way of the atx PSU.
It can also give a little more room for a 360 AIO since the power cable is on the opposite side.
Is there any space at all between your bottom fans and the GPU? I have the same setup and am hoping to fit T30s (30mm instead of 28 on the lianli fans here).
How did you mount the bottom intake fans? I have a similar case, but I can't figure out which screw to use to install the fans & theres nothing mentioned in the manual either. Are they included in the case, or do they accompany the fans? Pls & thx also keep up the good work❤
coming from NR200p, and A4 style case, i feel like this layout is the best balance between easy to build, looks nice, compact, yet stylish. And this case seems like knows exact what it is selling.
But that front panel section looks so ugly to me 😭
How would you reccomend setting up additional fans for this case if im using regular air cooler for cpu? I was thinking on keeping back cooler as out, add 2x12 fans on top as out and 2x12 fans on the bottom as in for the additional gpu cooling
I'm doing pretty much exactly this at the moment with a Jonsbo D41 and a 4090 while I wait for an Optimus waterblock to properly finish the build.
Based on the location and length of sfx cables I do not think it would normally work with included cables, unless it comes with standard length cables which would make it hard to fit in itx cases....going to look at the mesh versions of this for better cooling for the GPU.
Yo! Have you changed your camera or something? The image is so crisp and clear. Also i really like that case, matx needs more love.
Did you have to do anything special when using the SFX power supply? Does it come with and adapter plate?
Hey, where do the arrows point on those two fans at the bottom?
I have this case and very often I hear pulsating sound. I had it checked back at the shop. They replaced a power supply, liquid cooler and still I would have these sounds often.
Any ideas?
This is kind of a weird state of things: I think we've all seen a trend of matx being kind of left out as mostly a budget option for a couple years but now well, it seems like no PC company big or small believes in such a thing as a 'budget' PC anymore, specially if you look at modern motherboard prices.
So to me the happy consequence of everything just being on a raise to the top on pricetags is that people won't settle for budget matx based cases anymore so we might start seeing more decent options like this.
So I guess I'm conflicted: case is *super* nice and if I had this available I would have chosen it over the 200R a couple of years ago but at the same time, a couple of years ago I could actually buy a decent, serviceable motherboard for under 100 USD so it doesn't seems like the incentive of going matx to access cheaper but still quality parts is of much use today.
I really wanted to swap to itx with an nr200 but it was just too small for me to comfortably fit my parts in without sacrificing noise levels. I’ve been eyeing this case for months and im super interested in swapping to it when I upgrade
I really like this case. It's very nice!
im also thinking about moving my 4090 build from the nr200 to this case
I just ordered nearly the same build. Upgrading from my 11 year old inWin 303 and old PSU. I purchased a RM750 Corsair (white) PSU, will it fit okay in this case as long as I don't try to use a large old style hard drive? Also, nearly same board (B460m), and NZXT 360 Elite cooler as well, with Lian Li case fans, so this video really helped me figure out what it'll look like all put together. Only thing is my GPU is black, oh well.
Could you actually fit a third 120mm fan on the bottom? The square holes seem big enough for screws, no?
What is that device u are using at the back of the case in the 8:06 mark?
Hey mate long time fan. I would love to see a review of the Zzaw C3!
Its only available in china, however i feel it could be the best Matx case.
I have the mesh version. Just wish it was possible to get the TG side panel on its own as I'd like to be able to swap between the two.
Having this case has made me super conscious to ensure to get matx motherboards with the top GPU slot at the top slot as it looks like your gpu uses the second slot, making it practically touching the bottom fans which can hurt thermals.
I got the tempered glass version and it was so dope 🔥
I DIDNT KNOW THEY CAME OUT WITH A TG VERSION. ive been loving this but id kill for just the glass
Could you fit a 240mm cooler on the bottom under a thin GPU? Ive got a 4090 Liquid Suprim X, that would be a great little 4090 build.
for this build but going AMD 7800X3d with a 7900 XTX, which motherboard would you suggest? Thank you
I wish MATX got way more love then it does from Motherboard manufactures. Theres so much they can do, but board partners arent capitalizing on them as much as they could be. I have a MicroATX build to, and I love it.
I have been waiting for MATX to make a come back. Most people, like myself, do not need everything that ATX offers but at the same time I don't want to compromise going ITX.
This case is so awesome. Can't wait that my daughters PC is outdated, to upgrade to this one :D
I've had a hard time running 4 ram dimms on my Z790 hero. Are MSI boards better for this? Any suggestions?
Those subscribe cuts had me dying
😅😅
how did you manage 85° on a 13600k with a 360 aio? you can slap a 240 in a mini itx case as exhause with no other fans and you get better thermals than this, did you maybe forget to tighten the screws ? lol
have u tried mesh side panel? whats temp difference?
You make great music! Thanks for being original
Thanks for being awesome!
I cant find this case anywhere, been looking to update my chassis as i'm still on the corsair 600t.
The 12 pin connectits are such a pain.. with the side panel in, no doubt that the connector would fail in no time. Its a common issue with the 4080 and 4090s..
How does this case support a 360 AIO but the LL Air Mini doesn't. That is nuts.
Asus must really appreciate how none of the installed components are their own
Would the pre-applied paste from the cooler be enough for an i7-13700k?
I'm currently using this case although I have the all mesh case and not the one glass panel variant. So happy with it. I wonder if I can buy the glass panel in asus website. Oh and... that gpu sag
Good content!
I'm new here, but i'm really interested about Asus Prime AP201.
Because i want case around 35cm tall to place under my desk
Just ordered on from Amazon Canada for $99. Gonna build a rig with some spare parts I've gathered. ie: ASRock B550M Pro4, R5 3600x, 16gig Gskills 3600mHz 1Tb M.2 some fans and a good o'l Rx580 4G to be upgraded in a near future.
Looks a good case for an 360top/240 bottom rad itx build
been using it for a while, great build quality, easy to build, I just wish the right side panel is solid. I have a lot of extension cable so the panel bulged quite a lot
If you can't get a case panel to fit in perfectly, then your cable management just sucks
@@waltuhhimself it's not perfect, but still look nicer than your tangled life
@@notchipotle Hhhm edgy
You should check Jonsbo d31. Almost similar design but with a screen included.
I am thinking of ordering this cabinet, I have 2 3.5 hdd and 1 2.5 ssd, will I be able install my two hdd's or even 1 hdd, I have atx psu, would highly appreciate your help, and also where is hdd slot ?
The last part caught me off guard. Hahah
Literally my pc case rn but mesh version sheeeesh
The sama 01 is a little bit smaller and fits matx and atx power suply
Regular ATX PSU (Non modular) would fit in this case?
Great video :)
I couldn't agree more regarding the RGB software. That's why I favor cases with built-in controllers now and I ignore the software.
That's what I ended up doing after the fact
I sincerely wish I had found this comment sooner. I've been using the same PC for 10 years. I really liked your build and wanted to make the same one for myself. I just dropped 3,300 on everything I need to build this same PC with some other things I needed. The last of my parts will arrive tomorrow. Now I don't know what to do. @@GearSeekers
I wish you would have put a smaller ATX PSU in the bracket to see if your GPU could still fit. Just for testing purposes.
love the Super Garage shirt! hopefully nothing goes *in the bin*
Hahaha!
Id water cool this and get custom length cables such tight tolorances and only 2 intake fans not feeling it thoses temps could be lower
Whats the song name playing during b roll?
Wow with 360 AIO on top? That's pretty good
oh nice, a mortar build. Im considering getting it for 7950x build
Sounds good!
is the 'prime' label in the tempered glass panel removable?
will a single hdd fit in that case? in that setup?
Hi mate, I'm gonna build my new editing PC using this case.
I'm just curious is it possible to swap the side panels?
What I have in mind is to swap places the TG and the mesh panel on the back side whenever I don't feel seeing the inside.
I hope you notice this one. I really like how you build PC, been watching your contents for a few days now 😄😄😄
hi, did you get an answer ?
What about noise from the bottom fans? Is it annoying?
Very nice case, it's a shame that they have been a bit too stingy at some points. You are forced to unscrew a PSU bracket to connect a power supply, and they use extremely poor screws that are tightened too much = possible stripped screws.
ending blooper is GOLD 😂
It kinda hurt my knee lol
Please review the Jonsbo d31. the case is a banger with its screen.
I think when the bottom fans are that close to the gpu fans, it actually hurts the gpu temp rather than help cooling it. Another channel has tested this
Makes little to no difference
On point! I see EVERYWHERE that ppl install those bottom fans without even thinking about it.... They doing nothing there! As @GearSeekers agrees, they just making no difference at all, so just why everyone use them? Common guys dont just copy builds, use your head too! If i will buy this case, definitely will not put fans at all to the bottom, less cable, less money to spend, more room to other cables, HDD-s etc.
This case is very much similar to Jonsbo D31... but D31 has an extra screen! ❤
This is definitely a Jonsbo case rebrand it's almost exactly the same as the Jonsbo Mesh D31
The only issue I have with this case it that RTX4070ti (pretty fat in width) is pushing the cables at the bottom of the m-board (I don't know whether it's an issue or not but the angle of cable bending is a little scary. I wonder how you managed to put a normal width fans at the bottom (a standard 25mm CoolerMaster doesn't wanna go in together with GPU). I have black version with mesh side panel - looks extremely good without any rgb things.
I got the same card as his except its a 4090 but same dimensions. Can't get 25mm fans underneath, card's too thick. My mate put a fan on the side mesh panel (on the inside) and it really helped with temps
My girlfriend saw this case on Amazon and fell in love with it. I was very proud that day.
call me blind, but I cant seem to find this case anywhere in the US. the mesh version is everywhere, but no TG.
Did you try with the rear fan as an intake? This might help with those CPU temps. It might sound weird to some but is quite common to do with SFF cases with no front intake
I have the mesh version of this case and I successfully installed a fan on the front side even though it's not officially supported.
