If you still need a hard drive slot just getting Optical to hard drive adapter problem solved. I love both cases just as equal just point out that there is adapters. obvious is obvious
I'm rocking a 12-ish liter Node 202, as of a couple weeks ago. Fits my long GTX 970, around 20°C cooler than when I had it in my Cooler Master Elite 130. Had to purchase an SFX PSU, though, so it wasn't exactly a budget upgrade.
Who the fuck wants a case to be called cougar. Worst case name ever. I can just picture my friends going “Oh wow, you’ve gotten yourself a real cougar haven’t you?”
3:42 the hell are you saying? SFX power supplies ARE supported in the QBX. You can even opt for an SFX PSU and have a 240mm radiator on the side bracket with not only one, but TWO fans.
I've been using this case for a year and it's great. I skipped installing fans at first because the case is perforated all over so cooling isn't a problem. I will install a AIO water cooling unit in the future. Highly recommended.

Had this for about 6 months and... I'm going back to the Silvetstone SG13BQ since all my components fit perfectly inside it and it's almost half in litres (only 11.5). Wish I can someday buy the DAN4; right now it's too much for my budget! The QBX is great for the budget, looks, and possibilities but too big for me :P
It says max 140 mm long ATX PSU is supported. Well, thats pretty much the smallest ATX PSU length so its really annoying. You got lucky with that Corsair CX450M most are bigger... Cant believe I would need to replace my 620W Seasonic PSU for something worse..

What do you mean 120mm slim fans at the bottom? Because I have a gtx 1080 ti and I'm afraid the fans won't fit. So what kind of brand of fans can I use?
I have this case ...its not great, the Airflow for GPU's is choked up due to the small inlet at the bottom, I have to have mine on its side to fix this issue, it rattles as its not well made when you put in 3.5" HDD's
@@agoogleuser9025 There is no "QBX Pro". The tag line is something like Cuogar QBX Pro-Gaming case. They are just usung the term Pro-gaming to discribe the case, but it just the Cougar QBX.
This is good content! People's opinions change- I know I wasnt looking at builds like this 5 years ago. I'll never spend 200+ on a case. Good to hear there are alternatives.
Great vid! The QBX is a great case, and it was a blast to build in for my SFF rig. I opted for an SFX PSU + ATX->SFX Adapter that resulted in a ton of room in the front of the case.
Thanks for all the details. This video is still the best source about the GPU clearance in this case, as Cougar states just 350mm length. Now I'm almost sure that's ok to upgrade to the ZOTAC RTX 4070 Ti Super Trinity Black Edition still using this case. The 2.5 slot width is still a somewhat uncertain measure because of the range of mms that might be considered 2.5. But I bet that fits with no fan at the bottom. So, it's 350mm length, 135mm height and 2.5 slots (about 62mm?) width. Oh, and thank you for not calling the height width as some people do. 😅 Remember, people, if you measure vertically it's height.
I think the biggest reason why SFF cases are so expensive is that it's still a pretty niche market unfortunetly. And alot of people still believe that SFF pcs run loud and hot even though you can definetly build small, powerful and quiet systems these days.
You have to take a look on the LOUQE Ghost S1!! JayZTwoCents already made a video about it, it's a kickstarter SFF case with absolute GREAT possibilitys to upgrade!!!
Catalin Christian When you keep in mind that the new Fractal Design R6 costs round about 200$...the Louqe is actually not that expensive. As a kickstarter supporter, I paid 180$.
I have a R5 1600 build in this case..Comes apart great and was able to paint the mesh and panels. I also modded it to add a LCD fan controller. Great budget case!
i honestly want nice really high end cases that have absolutely no glass on them... i actually like the minimal fully enclosed look and its hard to find high quality versions of that
I can recommend the raijintek metis. $50 pure aluminium. with and sfx power supply you can squeeze in a founders edition of GTX1070 at stock speed without thermal throttle. :)
youngurbangod small cases like these require you to think a little extra when it comes to component purchases. You definitely need a radial cooler on the graphics card (in order to push out the hot air efficiently). Top-down coolers are more efficient with generous airflow, but will unfortunately heat up small cases quite radically. My MSI Aero GTX1070 comes with a 200MHz Overclock. The GPU is able to maintain that overclock about 10 minutes in full load before clocking down to around stock speed. However, if you have vsync or framerate limiter set. And your GPU has some overhead in the game you are running, the card will be able to boost whenever needed. Worth noting is that the raijintek metis is ridiculously small. I needed a SFX power supply, my MSI Aero only have 1-2mm of space left before hitting the front panel. I had to make cuts in the usb cords from the top-panel in order to make them more flexible and being able to fit the card... so yeah, it's a tight squeeze. but it sure is beautiful once assembled. :)
I went with 3 Rajintek Metis Plus and put a Zotac SFF Geforce 1060 in it. I've been gaming to ole' beat hell with it since last year and I stuffed 2 SSD's, 1 nVME and a full form power supply in there all tidy. Best case with a small footprint I've ever owned.
I’ve just bought this case literally 4 days ago. I’m really glad you made this video as I’m fitting the same cpu and gpu. Were your temps with the air cooler or the AIO? Massive thanks for making this video!
I grabbed this off Amazon a few days ago. Waiting on mobo now. Can't wait to build it (my first ITX setup). Gonna make a build vid next week.....excited! Thinking about glass or acrylic to replace the side panels or metal grills. Might negatively affect cooling, but that'll be another vid later on.
The quality it's not the best, and the cable management not easy, but I managed to put all the cable on the backside, and fix a plexiglass on the right side to show the inside, an SFX Psu modular would be useful too, I put all slim fan, but MAYBe going to change with regular just worried about the distance from the GPU
In this video you recommend removing 2 fans to make it quieter, but I've always been told it is actually quieter to have more fans because you can keep the rpm low as opposed to having less fans that need to ramp up to keep things cool. The added 2 fans are still quieter than the aggressive fan curves. Thoughts?
nice case ...... i start buiit my child on this case Mobo AsRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac CPU i5 9600k GPU MSI RTX 2060 Ventus XS PSU SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 750watts (flash sale, got more cheap than 650watts) Ram KLEVV DDR4 BOLT X Series PC25600 3200MHz Dual Channel 32GB (2X16GB) SSD TEAM MP34 512GB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 HDD 1TB 2.5 inch 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda Pro AIO Enermax AQUAFUSION 240
I was considering this case for an HTPC ITX system I built recently, and the only thing that stopped me from choosing this case was just my limited space below the TV. I went for a Raijintek Metis Plus but this is definitely my next choice if I am building another ITX in the near future.
@@n.potter I don't think there is one that can control fans individually, since the pwm comes from the fan header, and the hub is just splitting that to the other fans.
19.9L isn't impressive at all. Heck, my tiny MATX case is 16.5L. At $50, I'd go for the Silverstone Sugo SG13. It's only 11.5L, fits ATX PSUs, 265 mm long GPUs (there are 1080 Tis shorter than this), and a 120 mm AIO for your CPU.
The QBX looks like it is a very neat option. I wish this comparison between it, and the ncase had been available a couple weeks ago when i was seriously looking at ordering a QBX. :) I already have a build in an ncase, and i was debating whether i should go with the QBX for my second, more budget oriented sff build (1070 + i5 7500). In the end i ordered another ncase (which btw was $195 plus shipping when i ordered a couple weeks ago), as on paper, it looked to be a fair bit smaller than the QBX. Not so much, when looking at this video. Oh well, i'll probably still be happier with the ncase, just because of the quality. :) The rig is currently sitting in a Lian Li PC-Q35, which is definitely also high quality, but i'm annoyed by it's fairly large size. If i was to build in the QBX, i'd probably still go with an sfx PSU on a cheap adapter bracket, there are some great, cheaper options out there for sfx PSU's these days. I'd also probably stick with a 2.5" drive instead of a 3.5" one, in both instances, mostly because it's not really more expensive, but on the flipside it saves a ton of weight, and the smaller drive makes less noise when spinning up. :) That's my thoughts on it anyway. I do have a question though, that i'm hopingyou, or someone else can answer. I'm struggling a bit with PSU choice, i don't know if i should go with the corsair sf600, or if i can make do with the af450, for the before mentioned 1070 and i5 7500. I know the 450w is more than powerful enough to push the hardware, but the thing is, the rig needs to be dead quiet during idle and minor tasks like video streaming and such, because it's in my bedroom. As my other ncase build houses the sf600, i know that the fan in that one wont spin up during those types of tasks, but i'm unsure if it would on the 450 watt version, just because i'm guessing that it requires less effort to make the fan in the smaller PSU spin up. Any thoughts? Also, i hope to see a lot more SFF stuff from you, found this channel like a few weeks ago, and have been going through most of your content since. :) Love what you're putting out, great work!
Hey total noob when it comes to building but I found your channel via your Fusion II - NCASE M1 build on pcpartpicker. I was wondering if I could fit this same exact build into the QBX! I don't see why not, I just want to be sure before making the purchase. Trying to save money so I'm skipping out on all drives besides the 250gb evo and another drive I already own, as well as passing on the sleeving. Pcpartpicker is flagging the CPU cooler and PSU as not being capable of fitting in the build, is this accurate?
For 50 euros no any other itx case will compete with this, 9900k oc @ 5 ghz with 240 aio using corsair sf750 psu ovbiuosly , msi rtx 2080 ti gaming x trio an ENORMOUS gpu measuring 325 mm in lenght 145 mm width and is a 3.7 slot gpu....and i said it all ...MSI RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO WILL FIT PERFETCLY FINE. hope this help....do not buy an itx case just for The premium Price...the qbx looks faboulus and compatibilty wise....perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just bought this case, my question is from performance perspective. I have a Noctua NH12 for CPU and an Artic Acelero IV for GPU. My concern which way should i focus CPU aiflow, should it make side fan as intake and top as out or have side as out and top as intake?
ITX. Sub 20L. Full length card supported.
Yes please!
Optimum Tech i used this for my first and current gaming pc build and just recently did a custom acrylic window on it! Love this case!
Optimum Tech dude I really need an optical drive bay especially if I want to use it for a home theater PC or have lan parties where the internet is complete trash. If you still need a hard drive slot just getting Optical to hard drive adapter problem solved.
I love both cases just as equal just point out that there is adapters. obvious is obvious
Optimum Tech optical disc drives at this size are mandatory in my view especially if you want to even compare them to a console.
Wonder if I could use my Seasonic X 650 full modular at 160mm length plus my GTX 970 at 270mm. Thoughts?

@@n.potter I don't think there is one that can control fans individually, since the pwm comes from the fan header, and the hub is just splitting that to the other fans.

Not all Desktop Computers are built for gaming. This is actually a nice case for a work computer.
Will putting the two fans at the bottom as intake mess up the GPU fans direction or do GPU fans go the same direction as intakes from the bottom?

19.9L isn't impressive at all. Heck, my tiny MATX case is 16.5L. At $50, I'd go for the Silverstone Sugo SG13. It's only 11.5L, fits ATX PSUs, 265 mm long GPUs (there are 1080 Tis shorter than this), and a 120 mm AIO for your CPU.
Does it support 240m m radiator +3.5 inch hard drive?
What are cases supposed to worth? I just bought an itx case 300 dollars
Underate case ever
Cougar QBX or Sharkoon QB One, I can't make up my mind. Could you help me with that @OptimumTech? :)

Can it fit a mATX mobo tho? Can someone recommend a really small matx case?
The QBX looks like it is a very neat option. I wish this comparison between it, and the ncase had been available a couple weeks ago when i was seriously looking at ordering a QBX. :)
I already have a build in an ncase, and i was debating whether i should go with the QBX for my second, more budget oriented sff build (1070 + i5 7500). In the end i ordered another ncase (which btw was $195 plus shipping when i ordered a couple weeks ago), as on paper, it looked to be a fair bit smaller than the QBX. Not so much, when looking at this video. Oh well, i'll probably still be happier with the ncase, just because of the quality. :) The rig is currently sitting in a Lian Li PC-Q35, which is definitely also high quality, but i'm annoyed by it's fairly large size.
If i was to build in the QBX, i'd probably still go with an sfx PSU on a cheap adapter bracket, there are some great, cheaper options out there for sfx PSU's these days. I'd also probably stick with a 2.5" drive instead of a 3.5" one, in both instances, mostly because it's not really more expensive, but on the flipside it saves a ton of weight, and the smaller drive makes less noise when spinning up. :) That's my thoughts on it anyway.
I do have a question though, that i'm hopingyou, or someone else can answer. I'm struggling a bit with PSU choice, i don't know if i should go with the corsair sf600, or if i can make do with the af450, for the before mentioned 1070 and i5 7500. I know the 450w is more than powerful enough to push the hardware, but the thing is, the rig needs to be dead quiet during idle and minor tasks like video streaming and such, because it's in my bedroom. As my other ncase build houses the sf600, i know that the fan in that one wont spin up during those types of tasks, but i'm unsure if it would on the 450 watt version, just because i'm guessing that it requires less effort to make the fan in the smaller PSU spin up. Any thoughts?
Also, i hope to see a lot more SFF stuff from you, found this channel like a few weeks ago, and have been going through most of your content since. :) Love what you're putting out, great work!

Hey total noob when it comes to building but I found your channel via your Fusion II - NCASE M1 build on pcpartpicker. I was wondering if I could fit this same exact build into the QBX! I don't see why not, I just want to be sure before making the purchase. Trying to save money so I'm skipping out on all drives besides the 250gb evo and another drive I already own, as well as passing on the sleeving. Pcpartpicker is flagging the CPU cooler and PSU as not being capable of fitting in the build, is this accurate?
i gave up on looking. im just making one now
I just bought this case again. Miles ahead other cases still. I prefer this over the NR200 all day long for 50% price and around 1/6 of weight!
What's the maximum mainboard size ? Itx?
For 50 euros no any other itx case will compete with this, 9900k oc @ 5 ghz with 240 aio using corsair sf750 psu ovbiuosly , msi rtx 2080 ti gaming x trio an ENORMOUS gpu measuring 325 mm in lenght 145 mm width and is a 3.7 slot gpu....and i said it all ...MSI RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO WILL FIT PERFETCLY FINE. hope this help....do not buy an itx case just for The premium Price...the qbx looks faboulus and compatibilty wise....perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are temperatures good?
you can install a 2.5"ssd in the front too! there is a plate to do it

Consider reviewing the Raijintek Metis Plus and the Kolink Satellite Plus!
I just bought this case, my question is from performance perspective. I have a Noctua NH12 for CPU and an Artic Acelero IV for GPU. My concern which way should i focus CPU aiflow, should it make side fan as intake and top as out or have side as out and top as intake?
Looks like a nice alternative to the NR200.
May I ask, why did you choose Cougar? Had you considered choosing Cooler Master NR200 too?
@@ayyget imo the cougar look nicer, and with some mods has a lot of cooling potential
