Antec CX200M RGB Elite System Build Thoughts - Review

In this video im doing a system build using an Antec CX200M RGB Elite Case and my findings of this car are extremely disappointing if you are wanting to use a mid to high range graphics card in this case

Thanks for the video! Might be able to fit a 2.5 slot card provided the PCIe x16 slot are in the first slot. Yours are in slot 2 so graphics card choice would be much more limited.

[@rickstechrepairs]

cheers
as I said make sure you do plenty of research if you are wanting to use this case

[@pogman7471]

If you get a MB with a gpu slot in line with those middle screws (for the top card slot), you should be able to fit larger graphics cards

[@rickstechrepairs]

indeed

[@MegaDen00]

Thanks heaps for your review, mate! I was planning to buy this case, but now really concerned...

[@rickstechrepairs]

I would be double / triple checking what graphics card you want to buy
if it's a 2 1/2 slot card, like a 3060/7700xt/4070 mid to high end Cards I would probably pass

[@barjnet]

sorry I'm not really an expert on case fans, will the ones in this case connect to the motherboard and ramp up and down accordingly or will they get power from the PSU and constantly run at full speed?

[@peteypoo2470]

constantly at full speed from what i can tell. cheap molex fans suck :(

[@st2400]

Are the fans supplied with the case PWM fans or DC fans?

[@rickstechrepairs]

DC Fans, connect up via Molex 1:36

[@AOT807A]

Do you reckon a 2 slot GPU would fit alright?

[@rickstechrepairs]

along as it is only a 2 slot
the cooler doesn't over hang in to the 3rd

[@AOT807A]

Thank you for replying

[@lieutenanttom9733]

Wtf yesterday i built a PC for my brother with this same case, motherboard and I think processor (7600) thankfully I had none of these issues. I used a MSI 4060 ventus, fit super well thing is tiny. Easily the best cleanest build I've done. Sucks that the fans can't change colour tho.

[@rickstechrepairs]

that model is a dual slot card
if it took up a little of the 3rd slot it would hit the fan like mine did
if you got a 4070 instead I don't think it would have fit

[@lieutenanttom9733]

@@rickstechrepairs yea bruva even with such a tiny card it's still a tight fit. Thought it was funny how similar the builds were and that you uploaded it the same day I built it tho

[@chanuljayasinghe9170]

Will rx 6600 fit in this case?

[@rickstechrepairs]

yes most should
