I bet the entire case acted like an enormous heatsink for the radiator since it's sitting flush and that's why the temps didn't go as high as you thought they would
That is a good point! I guess the radiator mounting does make sense. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff having the radiator against the case will distribute heat to the rest of the computer so your motherboard can feel warm and cozy in the winter. 😂
Not to mention just how open it is to the air around it and not being trapped inside a standard enclosed case that requires chassis fans to push cool air through it. I bet you wouldn't even need the radiator fans on it and just having a ceiling fan on circulating air in the room would be enough... maybe lol.
3700x also doesn't get very hot. I have a thick 120 AIO and it's plenty to keep mine cool on a open air rig. It has a pretty low TDP
It’s clearly shown in the case diagram that this is built for a custom water cooled gpu
I think the standoffs were for radiator... not motherboard. Standoffs into radiator, screws into standoffs through case. Motherboard directly to case... just a guess. That wobble though!!
the white ones for the radiator, black ones for the motherboard, and that is why the screws didnt fit, probably correct
am pretty sure he knows he just like sh*tting on products for the vids. wouldn't base my shopping off is reviews
I think the no standoff approach was dumping heat into the chassis through contact.
The aio pump will die, Dawid should be in jail for that installation
@@xMaFiaKinGz It depends whether the actual pump is in the block or the radiator itself though.
When i look at that case i feel like i have 10 seconds to comply
😂
I truly like these videos. And even after watching every video you have made, watching them a 2nd, 3rd even 4th time they are still fun to watch.
indeed
Very true
you are correct.
Affirmative
I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed it. 😃
The metal radiator was contacting the metal case and adding enough mass that heat could transfer into. I suspect that eventually, it would have started to get hotter but with standoffs, not a bad option. A nice case but not one for me.
idk man
bro there a gap between the radiator fins and the case
This case is a great example of a cool concept that needed more development.
Had they made the base connection more stable and soldered standoffs to the chassis for the radiator like they did for the motherboard it would be way better already!
For like the first time ever with one of these cases, when Dawid was done building it I actually said "that's pretty cool looking". I feel dirty and horrible for having said it though.
there was standoffs for the rad, it shows them clearly in the instructions.
Concept 9/10, execution 4/10.
If the brackets for the base were steel instead of aluminum this would likely be more stable and not wobble so much.
@@cv990a4 LOL yeah but the case structure is somewhat weak.
Either the standoffs we're for the cooler, or the entire center panel acted as a heatsink 😂.
Also, if you could somehow weld/glue some rods to connect the top to the base, you could reduce the wobble and it would look pretty cool!
maybe both🤣
That case somehow looks like a skeletal bird who has to pee quite urgently. And for all its faults, I think it looks rather neat.
This is an impressive level of innovation they managed to choke off the airflow even on an open air case! :P This case is sort of interesting, but they really need to add in some ventilation holes behind the rad or include standoffs and come up with a way to space out the feet for better stability or add in some T shaped and angled reinforcement on the feet and back plate for better rigidity or just make the back plate and feet 2-3 times thicker.
I'm almost positive you're supposed to mount the AIO on standoffs so that it can suck in air from the sides
Like Dawid did in the end of the video
most of the video was im complanong about the case because he made an error and after make it the right way.
@@1nicube 2 minutes or so doesn't class as most of the video, like example, most of the video being a complaint about lack of clear directions which caused a non stop struggle. That would be more accurate
@@xSkittlesxNewbx yup, sign of a good case is being intuitive to work in. This is definitely not
How would that work though? You can’t screw through the radiator into a stand-off? The plastic spacer I used in the end of the video was from Bequiet cooler mounting, not the from the case.
i have the thermaltake wall mountable "case" i love it and see no reason to ever upgrade. especially with cards getting so big. having an open air case gives al lteh room. the dust is meh, but not as bad as i was expecting. also wll mounting the pc is soooo nice. frees up room, and keeps teh heat away from you.
Dawid... I don't think you were supposed to mount the radiator on those standoffs because I feel
that is just adding propaganda back onto the "100% stable and not a health risk at all" chassis
top quality content as always
Top quality comment 😂
This case is only for use in dust free environments. Imagine having a cat or dog. You would be using air canister to blow dust off every couple of days.
Stupid cases, be they criminal or computer. are always interesting content in videos.. :)
Whch one is this though? 😁
@@shannonrhoads7099 Why not both?😆
Back in the day airflow was a thing, i guess i can throw my clean no rainbow rgb black cooler master case away and just mount everything on a IKEA desklamp to have some sick lights in it🤣👌 great video, keep it up 👌
What about pushing the radiator through the hole rather than the pump head. Also, push config on the radiator. Would that make any difference? It should have enough air as it’s an open case? Just my 2 cents worth
There is nothing I don't hate about this case except that I was able to watch Dawid build it.
The RGB in the acrylic actually looked pretty sweet.
Hey @Dawid I'd love to see you make a video showing "What prebuilt computers SHOULD be like", where you take OEM's to "school" and show them how it's done. Good price/performance, fair/reasonable profit margin, good IO, good ventilation, no over-the-top RGB, etc. Perhaps even show how a de-bloated OS would look like.
And then maybe as a second video, "What manufacturers apparently THINK prebuilt computers should be like", where you build a computer like a brain-dead OEM, showing all of the common OEM-like mistakes.
A third video might even be able to show what kind of performance gains you can expect by just avoiding building a computer like an OEM would, even with the same parts. "Computer performance comparison: DIY/Custom vs OEM"
If somehow you're able to then partner with an OEM or manufacturer to launch a series of prebuilts that actually use your tips and tricks, that would just be icing on the cake as it were. Cheers. :)
It looks like the “glass installation” doesn’t leave enough room for a tower cooler so it’s AIO or nothing!
Just put a tower fan next the PC and all will be well 😂
According to the product page, there is 80mm of clearance for CPU cooling, and even though they recommend to use an AIO, it still leaves enough room for most top down air coolers, so that alternative should still be possible.
@@alensyhn4850 The most standard towers are about 157mm+ in height so no towers. (Cooler Master 212: the gold standard). It's only usable for box coolers and AIOs.
@@iancurrie8844 which is why I mentioned "top-down", not "towers" :)
For instance, a Cryorig C1 is 74mm tall, a Noctua NH-L12s 72mm, and both would perform pretty well in this situation (cooling a Ryzen 3700x in an open air design). Smaller designs are also available, and they're commonly used in SFF builds, though they might lead to compromise in power / thermals.
Anyway, I stand by my point : air cooling in this case should be possible.
@@alensyhn4850 Yes indeed. Let's meet in the middle and say that of the really effective cooling methods: AIO is the only viable option. The truly effective towers are a NO_GO.
that thing is the Ultimate Airflow case, except the Radiator mounting method xD
David I love every video you make and how goofy it becomes. As you love to buy dumb tech stuff can you buy the Cubeor Kanto case as it is one of the most unique cases I've seen. Thanks
Easier way to get better cooling with that AIO would have been to play on a winter map.
Clever
10:05 this design is truly amazing, I would love something like this BUT as a closed case design with black tempered glass, not sure how they are gonna make it work but it has a lot of potential
And after BeQuiet saw the abuse of their AIO, they asked for all of them back in order to save them from more abuse LoL. I just don't see how long term that's gonna work if there's no air flow from both sides. Thanks for saving us from yet another bad Amazon case.
My guess is the partial digestion feature of the box is a new attempt at "easy open packaging". Probably targeted at the older generation
3700X on an Asus prime mobo and a 3060? You just built the first prebuilt PC I bought about a year and a half ago. Still rocking the 3700X in a new build with a 3070ti.
I can't decide what would happen faster with this case: my cats knocking it over, or something dying from cat hair since it's all open.
I actually like this case! At least the concept. It's original, without being too over the top.
I love that you read those nonsensical instructions as normally as possible.
Reminds me of a self-assembly model of a dinosaur skeleton I got from a museum when I was a kid. Looks about equally robust, too.
Could always have mounted the fans on the radiator as exhaust that way instead of pushing air through them into a tiny gap it would pull the hot air away from the radiator into an open space.
I love all of theses videos, and the rewatchability is so amazing! Thanks Dawid!
I finally have something interesting to watch while eating, thanks for the video!
I think the radiator needed something between the case and itself because the instructions show some kind of spacer or stand off
5:52 well you could try it the other way. Dissassemble those fans from the radiator and then push the radiator through the cutout from the motherboard side.
About the screws, I was going to say I would just use the tight screws, they probably make their own threads as they go in.
I've got an open air Thermaltake P3. Just get one of those if you want an open air rig.
Dawid, you're right about the radiator, looking at the Amazon reviews, people were saying they had to go to the hardware store to buy standoffs for their AIO rad.
After watching this video, I am sold for this case. This is the case that I have always wanted but never knew it existed!
I have had this case for almost 13 months now (just over a year) I havent suffered any problems yet. I Have an Ryzen 7 5900x with a 240mm rad with constant 54-60 c and rtx 3070(before the price drop) that also stays in the high 50's to mid 60's with no other problems and yeah it has a wobble from the top but unless you force this case over it will not fall the foot base is like thick/solid steel and heavy as hell.
@@jessepy6981 how did *you* mount the radiator?

Aaah yes, the ID-10T error. We used to say that the problem was a picnic to fix.
Problem In Chair, Not In Computer
If the solid AIO mount bothers you, you COULD always just grab a hole saw from your local tool store....... there's enough space on the Motherboard side to pull air that way, and it [mostly] fixes the problem.
That is a great idea, but I would have the fans pulling through the Rad so you are drawing cool air behind the Mobo & exhausting away on the Rad side
He could use motherboard standoffs when mounting the radiator…
…and he did later in video.
It’s kinda common sense
@Slywerk it doesn't matter which way the fans are mounted to the Rad,
Different case designs have space limitations so sometimes you need the fans to mount infront or behind the Rad as either Push or Pull
@Slywerk Yes Dawid admits he does do a lot of dumb stuff in his videos, but it is Sooooo Funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That TUF RTX 3060 has been through a lot of systems. I'm curious what will happen to it when you finally find the case that will choke it. Can't you take and angle grinder or what ever it's called to make some perforations to the case?
Chinese one: "I designed a case, but it's soo much bullshit, I don't think we'll sell it"
Chonse two: "ofcourse we will. I'll call Dawid"
That being said, the case DID work. And it IS something special/different.
So it's NOT stupid!
All I could think of were those bipedal AT-ST walkers in Star Wars when I saw that case assembled.
"oooh ,some kidney bean glass panels" I just come for the comedy 😂
I think the multiple empty screw holes in the base might be leading to the wobble problem but what do i know
This case reminds me of a quote "Shitting the bed is not better than not shitting the bed."
At 6:29 one can clearly see three standoffs with one probably being covered by that metal plate. But, it wouldn't be Dawid if he would have used the standoffs in the first place :)
Using standoffs for the radiator instantly made the whole case so much better. But gee whiz, that wobble is terrible lol I genuinely wouldn’t trust my system on that thing. Had they designed it so the feet were separated by just a few inches then it would be so much more sturdy and still be perfectly “sleek.” Great video!👍👍
The majority of the structure is a single sheet of metal without any ribbing.
No distance of foot spacing will overcome the fact that the frame is a spring.
Im pretty sure you were supposed to use the brass standoffs that you used for the motherboard, for the radiator LOL. It looks like the cade was made with the motherboard standoffs already attached.
0:39 “Oh it’s so limp” - that’s what Dawid said.
All jokes aside your videos are super unique with how you include your funny attitude towards when you do an unboxing or review. My favourite part the most all let’s dawn the Valetta Gloves so I don’t get any STD’s or venereal disease. Keep up the good work my man. 🎉
seriously that radiator seating flush to the case was creeping towards me like a serial killer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2 of these + some tools + welding could make an awesome Mech Warrior themed case...
I think this is the most straightforward video I've ever seen Dawid do
Wow. I was seriously looking at this case for an open loop
I could be ok with having to mod to get a better radiator airflow solution. But, damn, that wobble! That's a no deal for sure
Great video as always. Seeing how flimsy it is on the feet scare me though.
Also, thay case reminds me of a Gundam Unicorn collab case I saw on newegg. The thing costs like 800 bucks however
While watching this video and seeing Dawid struggle with the case instructions I had this thought - people do give crap to IKEA about their furniture quality, that's fair, but where they do excel is their dumb-proof instructions - without using a single word they make them really understandable.
That is very true! IKEA is a way better at making instruction manuals.
The only thing I didn't like was the wobbliness, I can imagine it moving like crazy while I'm typing or doing something on the desk.
If you have HDDs in that case the wobble could kill your hard drives if you game too hard. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff OMG the rattling sound would be louder than the fans.
The case looks like an AT-ST that was built with a single leg in the center of it and it's stuck hopping around
I mean, it looks kinda cool but considering how much money they are asking for that thing I would have expected it to be a bit better thought out for things like the Rad mount and the overall stability. That seemingly rather thin stand for that case seems like something that might be prone to material fatique from stress after a while.
Recently discovered your channel. All of your videos are great to watch.
The case is probably made with aluminum which would act as a big heat sink for the radiator that's probably why its temps stayed relatively good
Doing dumb things with computers? Obi-wan voice: that's...why I'm here.
I do like that RGB implementation. The wobble though....
Really cool looking case. Really impractical design.
I'd say in terms of a "1st attempt" they did OK here it's not a terrible design as such.
I think if someone took the concept and fiddled with the details a bit maybe put the PSU in the base to add some weight and stability to the base and covered a couple more thing that might need protection. it does a good job the cables are really surprisingly well covered I think that some full cases could learn a thing or two from this.
I guess you will have to dust it a whole lot though. I think if you had that white RGB ram that would look nice on it but since most components are black I think the case would look better in other colours like red, blue, purple or gunmetal grey.
So other than the stability & dust issues I actually like it.
I have a Thermaltake P3 case and this reminds me of that, though the P3 seems to be a lot sturdier and easier to build in (though it was a pain to build the first time).
That case is hilarious! PC falls off desk and parts break everywhere. 🤣
Gonna be a child for a second and say. The one thing I got out of this video is Dawid doesn't know how to screw!
This could make a sick Star Wars themed AT-ST mod build.
5:56 6:03 Engineers when they are drunk at work.
This is like buying a case from IKEA
6:59 it probably would’ve made more sense to have them push in this configuration youre not pulling any air through it
cool case, no problems venting heat, those feet could have been made thicker or 3 instead of 2, nice idea, needs more work.
Thanks for making my Antec NX410 purchase look like a mastermind move.
Great video, I kinda like the stupid case. The two "foot" pieces together made of steel wobble but would take some serous force to break. IMO Please get an AZZA PYRAMID 804V next, if you have not yet.
I like that they are trying different designs at least.
So just a quick note. The radiator could be mounted with standoffs, giving the air a place to actually, ya know, go.
Gotta watch the whole video before you comment.
@@--_DJ_-- possibly, I commented while I was watching, it just struck me as the sensible thing to do in that situation and I couldn't imagine him not thinking of it too.
@@stevenjack6283 We all do it, it's just funny when you read them.
I think he was just following the instructions which showed it plastered to the back of the case.
I'm not so surprised the cooling had a ceiling. The big difference here is that this is a totally open case. If it was like that in a pretty heavily closed off case, it'd definitely give more problems. However, in the open air, really, it's not that different from how laptops cool themselves. The fans just blow and suck up air from the sides instead of the backs, through fairly small ventilation shafts. Probably, the same thing is happening here. nvm the fact that the case itself is probably doing some heat-sinking of its own. Again; with full fresh-air contact. So yeah, not really that surprised it still works (even if a bit less well)
why are you using your tv support for the motherboard?
That case is giving you 5 seconds to comply! Personally I'd install standoffs on the radiator, then screw it in from the back as normal.
I would prefer the exciting danger of the wobble for my PC over a sturdy, boring, stable rectangle. I much prefer the possibility of all PC hardware being randomly scattered on the floor. Danger is my middle name.
Not only does the case look so ridiculous, it seemed awful to build in and way too expensive lol.
I love cases like this because the concept is there I just need to cut and adjust and then it’s perfect:)
I think that's the most sketchy looking c̶a̶s̶e̶ open bench I've seen. The wobbly feet sturdiness is inverse proportionally to the balls of steel you require to keep this thing on your desk.
I bet you could keep a core I-7 with the craptastic fan they give you cool in that case.
Minus the wobble factor, its a pretty sick looking case!
I personally love the look of this case, it is unique and frankly pretty awesome as an unconventional case design. I am just so disappointed at the two design flaws. Simple slits cut into the back wall of the radiator mounting area combined with included stand offs. Ventilation solved. One or two perpendicular mounting stabilizers on the feet and main support, stability solved. Like 3 more bucks worth of design and materials...... still if you wanted to fix it yourself it wouldn't be hard if you are handy.
Wow my Phanteks P600 which is not a cheap case was less expensive than this one. Amazing.
Video, check, coffee? Dang it!
my old ass case from 2007ish runs my 3900x on air at 80 on load. sure it is dated all the fans make noise, but no issues at all other than it runs little hot in a hot room. 70C seems like nothing!
Never question instructions
8:45 it supports all GTX 30 series cards? How many GTX 30 series cards even exist? I thought 30 series was RTX only
If this case was slightly better designed, in terms of radiator clearance and stability, I'd actually be tempted to buy one.
But the fact it's so big and can't even fit a 360mm rad, puts me off, even if the other issues were fixed.
It looks like an open air test bench that someone put a glass panel on looks good but it's about all it is it's kind of like those that buy RGB and load up their computer with it it serves no purpose other than looking pretty it's kind of what this case is the hot rod of computer cases
Yeah. If it was black and much more sturdy I'd pay up to $150 for one. Black with some green LEDs would be awesome. A bit of a Borg vibe.
Awesomesauce!! When I saw Dawid's short on this case, I was so looking forward to this. Thank you Dawid for making this video!!
You sir are amazing 👏 🙌 ❤️
That wobbly base had me on edge 😂
Tbh I kinda dig this case, it gives me some real star wars vibes like that would totally be the computer running the AT-ST Walkers
