Thank you so much brother. I've the same case and I didn't know that we could actually remove the front case and mesh. It really helped me a lot for cleaning the dust. You earned a sub👍
This case is really nicely laid out and clean cable runs can be easily achieved. Haven’t built a computer in over 10 years and things have come a long way. I wasn’t too keen on getting tempered glass RGB anything, but cost/ performance balance kept narrowing my selections down to this style as it’s the most common available.
I got this case in a MSI prebuilt Aegis ZS ... the 120AIO busted after 8 mo. of very light use - CPU hitting 100c - so sent in to MSI for RMA... I am happy to have found this, because I was thinking to not re install whatever they send me, and instead put a 360 up front, but never seen it done, with my case - so thank you for this vid!
Thanks for showing me that the HDD caddy can be moved over. I was pretty miffed when the Corsair H110i 240mm radiator didn't fit on the top or the front before the caddy was moved.
Niceeeee!! I just have a 240 cooler on mine. You're right about the front with the little air intake so I just leave front cover off and have the front filter in.
I also use MSI's case "MAG vampiric 010", and I remember when I tried to mount a 360mm radiator in it, the 3.5” drive bay interfered and I had to move it to the PSU side. It seems airflow is better in Gungnir 110M and 300R airflow
Looks like you have one (daisy chain) cable plugged in to your gpu... You'll want to use two separate cables so you don't grin into power issues or start a fire if you have a higher power gpu.
11:46 you should REALLY not place your radiator that way : since any air inside will rise to the top, the water has to push through it when getting in, which produces gurgling noises and wears out the material faster. you should place your radiator with the pipe entry at the bottom rather than at the top in order to avoid this :)
that is the best spot yes, but it wont really matter as long as the pump is not higher then then the radiator. If you place where the pipe runs up you would barely notice a difference.
hnm....the 3 fans in front are on backwards there...they are set as exhaust instead of intake....seems like its set up as negetive pressure instead of intake from the front and out the back
not sure if you want to have liquid cooling pipes at the top of your radiator? where air in the system can limit how effective they works and the noise? I would move fans from behind dust filter to infront of case, and have the radiator flipped with pipes at bottom
Will I have any problems with my specs: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 VISION OC 8G GDDR6 and ryzen 7 3700x? Not looking forward to overclock cpu or gpu btw
Hey one last thing, I am new to building pcs so my brother is doing it for me and he says I need a hard drive. What kind of hard drive do I need for that and what hard drive do you suggest
@@Realhardwarereviews watch 1st part of the vod, you'll see the face of the fans are on the inside.. meaning they was in exhaust lol and so was the back case fan, but once you put the rad in you fixed that.. alot of company's are doing this now days. friend of my got a new pre built.. has 2 fans on the MB side.. there exhaust.. the rear fan si exhaust .. i was like dude.. swap them or add 2 intakes to the top lol
Hi I am currently building a similar setup. I was wondering, do you need additional spacers in the case ATX screwing positions for the motherboard or are the integrated spacers sufficent?
I'm wondering if you could take the glass panel out and have some holes cut in it. Maybe just some nicely placed vent slots. I don't know how to do this or how much it would cost to have done but I intend to look into it.
Is there enough space for a 240R in the top of the case instead of the 360R in the front? This was my idea for the build.. I would also go with the 100M, the Mesh-Version of the case.
Good video. Can you comment on whether you could/should have chosen to flip the radiator so that the lines run down to the bottom of the case. Would something prevent that orientation?
Hi there! You helped me a lot with vid! Thx!! I would like to know if you could tell me if and/or when we would need to connect both of the two PSU connectors on the x570 Unify motherboard?? And which power supply would be able to do that. Cheers!
Hi David, thank you very much for making this video, I'm not sure if you mentioned how to or where to plug the USB type C connector, mine has a "MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI Motherboard"
You suggested that air is restricted by the front panel. Curious if you could confirm it. Run tests as is, then without the front panel on. Then we would know.
I have unscrewed the metal side and the temps dropped by 3 degrees and the fans stopped struggling. (5900x + x62 Kraken), Would be better if they did a mesh side for it as a replacement.
@@bobthecooldadInteresting. my 5600x and rtx 2070 super hasn't caused the temps to get into the 70s (60s only). I haven't done stress testing beyond OC of memory and cpu. As long as the fans aren't audible, which they aren't, I don't really care.
So why didn’t you mount the water cooler on the top? It would look better than on the side that way you can see all the fans and have even more of them.
Hi, thank you for the video. Do I need to swap the pre-installed front fans with the fans that came with my MSI 360 radiator? They look to be nearly the same fans.
I am mid process of an install with this case. The pwr for the 3 front fans works with the daisy chain. What did you do with the rear fan pwr, just plug into a header on the mb? I don't see how it is linked with the front 3 (if that is even a thing). Next (and related), I have a CM 212 rbg cooler. The pwr connects to the cpu fan. But where do you put the rgb cable? Does it somehow connect to the rgb controller of the case? There is an extra pin on it, I think. I have an argb on the mobo (Asus Tuf gaming pro 570x wifi 6), which I assume the case argb controller goes into. If I plug in the cm212 rgb into the mobo regular rgb, it won't be controlled with the case fans, right?
@@gunnerrn that is 100% true BUT you really do not want a interupt the flow of the liquid by the bubbles at the end of the hoses on the point whre are the hoses mounter do the radiator so...you are right you can mount it as you described and lifespan will not be changed BUT it is not the best solution.
I’d really like to know what the temps were like with having your aio mounted at the front of the case and not the top I want to mount mine to the front but was a bit worried about air flow
WTF I was thinking of getting the same build haha. Dude a question, will there be much difference in temperatures if I put a msi coreliquid 240mm AIO? I was thinking of putting the 360mm but I like the way the 240mm looks on the top of the cabinet better.... What do you recommend me to do..? nice video :)
Thank you Matiaz! If your planning to overclock your CPU then get the 360 AIO. If not the 240 is plenty. Plus with the 240 you wont be constrained with your GPU since mounting it on the front of the case robs you of some space for your GPU to be mounted.
@@Realhardwarereviews Ok thank you very much, I was thinking of putting a RTX 3090 on it which are very big and I was hesitating with the AIO and the cabinet. Really, thank you very much for the help!
I just built a computer using this case and yes, airflow is an issue. The cpu gets up to 80 Celsius. I think the problem is the front panel, I’m gonna remove it and see how it works.
Can you tell me how to take off the front panel for this case? I've had it for months and have no clue how to take it off as this was a bought build. If you could give some advice on how to also clean the back filter too that would be great. Thanks!
How important is that AIO cooler? The thing is, i'm planning on building my first PC that consists of the same graphics card (MSI GeForce RTX 2070), CPU (Ryzen 5 3600), and motherboard (b550 Tomahawk), and wondering if these components really require an AIO cooler. Your advice is much appreciated. Thank you. I've also taken on your recommendation of grabbing the same case but with the mesh in front. Thanks.
You really don't need an AIO unless your looking into overclocking the CPU. Even then its not worth the hassle. A regular air cooler would still work. It all depends on what you think is the best for aesthetics as well.
Hi. This case have 4 fans, and 1 fan spliter of 3 slots. This means that my motherboard shoud have 2 fan conectors? Or am i missing something? It my first case of this type.
Did I only get 3 pin fan strips and the adapter is 4 pin? I really am afraid of this cables. I managed to connect these two but it doesnt seem to me to be the right way so i didnt turn the pc on.
Good job! I was wondering how to take the front panel off the entire time I had the case. Glad my question was answered and I managed to clean the front panel dust filter before it clogged up. On a side note that might not be relevant to others, an Intel Core i9-10940X cooled by an MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240R in the Gungnir 110R maxes out at 80 degrees Celsius when clocked to 4.1 GHz on all cores while running Cinebench R23. I tried it myself, and as I first-time overclocker, I was scared that something would blow, but everything was alright. :)
I'm looking at building my first PC and looking at putting an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 5800X in it (once they're in stock again, won't pay scalper prices) with a top mounted 240mm aio for the CPU, how bad (or maybe good) would this case be? I prefer the tempered glass look at the front over the mesh, but I know the thermals are going to be more important. And if not this case, is there a case you would recommend for a first time PC builder? Sorry for the bombardment of questions, first time finding your channel and I enjoyed the video
The case is great but I would watch out on the size of your graphics card. I found that fitting a 360 AIO plus a larger graphics card that I had wouldn’t fit in. In your case you should be good putting the AIO on top.
@@Realhardwarereviews Thank you for the help! Since it's my first build, I really want to get it right and you helped put my mind at ease a little bit in terms of the combo I'm going for.
@@STOEmma im buying my 1st pc soon, and im also using an RTX 3070, Ryzen 7 5600x, as well as a top mounted 240 aio cooler, how did your build come out for you? any issues? how was cooling with the glass front?
@@StardustCrusad3r The only issue I had was that the pump in the aio I chose failed. I've got a temporary air cooler while I find a more reliable aio, and I have no thermal issues. I did change the parts, due to availability at the time, I've got a RX 6700 XT and a Ryzen 9 5900x
How did you get your rgb lights to work ? I got everything but that little header you have. I got the rgb 1 to 3 splitter and also got a cpu fan 1 to 3 splitter too. I have a msi b550m pro mother board with a rainbowrgb 3 pin port and a jrgb 12v 4pin port and none the fans led lights turns on.
I just watched a video on that - and it seems for GPU fan/rad placement don't matter (if open air GPU) but in the experiment, it showed marked difference in CPU temps (10c cooler with front mount rad) which make since pulling in ambient air and opposed to eating already hot air when up top.
Hello! I am building with similar hardware like the gungnir 110r, MSI AIO, and MSI MOBO. I don't really understand the wiring with the RGB, Pumps, Etc.)
Are you sure the front fans are starved or just assuming so. Without calculating the fan cfm and the slots/vents allowable of cfm etc, how can you state the fans will be starved of air?
@@Realhardwarereviews I actually got a Ryzen 5 5600 not the X because it’s basically same performance when overclocked a bit (and i saved like 50€ by going for the non-X). I have not bought the graphics card yet tho since the prices went going down so i decided to wait. I have a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X for now (got it for cheap from my friend) but soon i am going to get a 3060 or a 3060 Ti. For motherboard i chose the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK and for my CPU cooler i got a MSI MAG Coreliquid 240R V2.
Hey man how did u plug your argb fans? I am using the same case and I cant control the rgb lighting.. only the pump, gpu, ram are in-sync. I would appreciate a reply. Thanks
Hey Jae, sorry for the late reply. You should be able to control it once you plug it in the fan controller header in the back of the case. Keep me posted.
I know he mentioned it, so maybe just didn't include that in the vid? I am planning to modify my MSI pre build that has this case, and do exactly that - replace sucky 120 rear aio for another brand 360 up front, and use the case fans wherever I can...
I actually bought the other grill design in where in place of the glass, it's a steel mesh screen.... changed temps on stock config by significant amount.
Hi..do you know if i could install a Triton 240 cooling system of Antryx in the top of this case?. Y have a msi b460 mortar mainboard. I was reading that is impossible because collides with the ram. Thanks.
I have this case with the stock fans. Is there anyway to control the rear exhaust fan as its always running full blast and it doesnt appear in the bios or anywhere ?
@@Realhardwarereviews it was a tight squeeze but I managed to get the 3090 and the 360r both in the case! New build is a monster. 10900k, 32gb 3200mhz DDR4, RTX 3090. I'm in love
Thanks for the video, a 290 mm GPU would fit perfectly then? Got and x570 mobo, 240mm fan and planning on getting 3060ti aorus master which is 290mm as I read in the comments the msi gaming trio won't fit :(
Hi! another question. I am really having a hard time getting the little button for switching the RGB Fans to work! I am going crazy with this one. What I did is, I installed the fans of the AIO on the Radiator, and the Fans that were in the MSI Gungnir 110M in the Top and rear of the case. I can control the Cooler Fans with the MSI Software, but I do NOT know how to connect the Chasis Fans of the MSI Gungnir 110M so that the button on the case would switch the colors. Can you give me guidance how to do it, so that the button finally wokrs? How did you do it? Thank you in advance!

How do you take the bottom dust filter off
Oh, what a nice touch, pointing the camera elsewhere while removing the front panel, exactly what I want to check out.
I'll make sure to not point up next time! Mistakes were made.
Just pull. It will just un seat. I am sure by now tho, you've firgured it out?
Thank you so much for this video it helped me since this is the almost exact build of mine except the motherboard and gpu
I love the look of the white Gungnir. Thanks for the video.
Alright Dave, your video sold me on this. I will buy this case and have a look!
adding, that the vented version of the front grill is a must... air flow is nearly non existent with the glass - I swapped mine immediately
The radiator blows hot air into the case :D
In was wondering the same, I have the same case with the same cooler but 240mm on top and the fans are blowing air up top, not like this.
Looks like you have one (daisy chain) cable plugged in to your gpu... You'll want to use two separate cables so you don't grin into power issues or start a fire if you have a higher power gpu.

Wonder if 280mm radiator fits on top from Arctic. MSI states on their site max 240mm radiator or 280mm fans. But it looks like it would fit

On a side note that might not be relevant to others, an Intel Core i9-10940X cooled by an MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240R in the Gungnir 110R maxes out at 80 degrees Celsius when clocked to 4.1 GHz on all cores while running Cinebench R23. I tried it myself, and as I first-time overclocker, I was scared that something would blow, but everything was alright. :)
I’m glad that I could help with the video. Front panels can be a bit tricky to pull off.
I'm looking at building my first PC and looking at putting an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 5800X in it (once they're in stock again, won't pay scalper prices) with a top mounted 240mm aio for the CPU, how bad (or maybe good) would this case be? I prefer the tempered glass look at the front over the mesh, but I know the thermals are going to be more important. And if not this case, is there a case you would recommend for a first time PC builder? Sorry for the bombardment of questions, first time finding your channel and I enjoyed the video
The case is great but I would watch out on the size of your graphics card. I found that fitting a 360 AIO plus a larger graphics card that I had wouldn’t fit in. In your case you should be good putting the AIO on top.
@@Realhardwarereviews Thank you for the help! Since it's my first build, I really want to get it right and you helped put my mind at ease a little bit in terms of the combo I'm going for.
@@STOEmma im buying my 1st pc soon, and im also using an RTX 3070, Ryzen 7 5600x, as well as a top mounted 240 aio cooler, how did your build come out for you? any issues? how was cooling with the glass front?
@@StardustCrusad3r The only issue I had was that the pump in the aio I chose failed. I've got a temporary air cooler while I find a more reliable aio, and I have no thermal issues. I did change the parts, due to availability at the time, I've got a RX 6700 XT and a Ryzen 9 5900x
@@STOEmma how long did the pump live before failure? which brand/model did you have?
How did you get your rgb lights to work ? I got everything but that little header you have. I got the rgb 1 to 3 splitter and also got a cpu fan 1 to 3 splitter too. I have a msi b550m pro mother board with a rainbowrgb 3 pin port and a jrgb 12v 4pin port and none the fans led lights turns on.
I am building a amd ryzen 5 3600x with a gtx 1660 super is this a good case option
For your specs it should be good. Airflow might be an issue but your components won’t produce that much heat.
If I install an AIO on top would that be better for cooling the pc, along with all of the fans included?
I just watched a video on that - and it seems for GPU fan/rad placement don't matter (if open air GPU) but in the experiment, it showed marked difference in CPU temps (10c cooler with front mount rad) which make since pulling in ambient air and opposed to eating already hot air when up top.
Hello! I am building with similar hardware like the gungnir 110r, MSI AIO, and MSI MOBO. I don't really understand the wiring with the RGB, Pumps, Etc.)
Are you sure the front fans are starved or just assuming so. Without calculating the fan cfm and the slots/vents allowable of cfm etc, how can you state the fans will be starved of air?
Simple physics. Having more vent holes will increase airflow.
Would you say this case is enough for a Ryzen 5 5600X and MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GAMING X? I’m looking to build a full MSI build.
Yes, hopefully you already built your pc by now :)
@@Realhardwarereviews I actually got a Ryzen 5 5600 not the X because it’s basically same performance when overclocked a bit (and i saved like 50€ by going for the non-X). I have not bought the graphics card yet tho since the prices went going down so i decided to wait. I have a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X for now (got it for cheap from my friend) but soon i am going to get a 3060 or a 3060 Ti. For motherboard i chose the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK and for my CPU cooler i got a MSI MAG Coreliquid 240R V2.
Hey man how did u plug your argb fans? I am using the same case and I cant control the rgb lighting.. only the pump, gpu, ram are in-sync. I would appreciate a reply. Thanks
Hey Jae, sorry for the late reply. You should be able to control it once you plug it in the fan controller header in the back of the case. Keep me posted.
I have gungnir 110r and 3070ti suprim x the graphics card is literally huge can 360r fit in this case
Does the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (WiFi 6) motherboard also fit inside this case?
Could you not have put the extra fans up top as an exhaust? Just a thought.
I know he mentioned it, so maybe just didn't include that in the vid? I am planning to modify my MSI pre build that has this case, and do exactly that - replace sucky 120 rear aio for another brand 360 up front, and use the case fans wherever I can...
Hey. So I have this case. And bought the arctic freezer ii 360. Not sure if it will fit can you give some insight?
wait how did you set up the rgb cause i can only have 2 fans light up and i have the same case and motherboard
Only problem with the case is the intake at the front but that can be resolved by just taking off the front plastic bit, and leave the dust panel in
I actually bought the other grill design in where in place of the glass, it's a steel mesh screen.... changed temps on stock config by significant amount.
@@ttattx Did you buy the front panel separately somehow or did you buy a whole different model entirely?
@@unholyisme yes, bought the panel separately from MSI.
@@ttattx Do you have a link from where I can buy the panel separately from them? It'd be extremely appreciated!
Hi,I know this question might be stupid but how do you remove the cristal pannel?Thanks.
Gotta pull it with some force.
THANKS!!
Hi..do you know if i could install a Triton 240 cooling system of Antryx in the top of this case?. Y have a msi b460 mortar mainboard. I was reading that is impossible because collides with the ram. Thanks.
Hello. i have this tower. my fans work but the rgbs at 4 don't work
Do you think I could fit a 3090 and a 360mm AIO
Can cpu air cooler ( Noctua NH-D15 Chromax.Black) will fit in that case?
I have this case with the stock fans. Is there anyway to control the rear exhaust fan as its always running full blast and it doesnt appear in the bios or anywhere ?
Did you connect the usb type-C to the motherboard header pin???
is their any space in upper to have 240mm cpu cooler
Do you need a RGB conector on MB?
I think you can connect it to a USB header.
@@Realhardwarereviews Thank you so much!
How do you connect the cooler in frontal panel, i can connect the aio fans with the radiator(sorry my bad english)
You should be able to connect it to the fan controller at the back of the case.
Man the fact that you didnt show how to pop the front case off was just sad
love my case :)
I love mine too :)
I just ordered this case with that exact AIO. Im worried my 3090 isn't going to fit because of the AIO in the front
How did it go? Did the 3090 fit? I know the 3060 couldnt fit with the AIO in front.
@@Realhardwarereviews it was a tight squeeze but I managed to get the 3090 and the 360r both in the case! New build is a monster. 10900k, 32gb 3200mhz DDR4, RTX 3090. I'm in love
How long is your rtx 3090?
@@endlessfart3374 as it turns out the exact length that will fit
Thanks for the video, a 290 mm GPU would fit perfectly then? Got and x570 mobo, 240mm fan and planning on getting 3060ti aorus master which is 290mm as I read in the comments the msi gaming trio won't fit :(
Yeah I have this excact case with a msi rtx3060ti triple fan it fits perfectly, you just can't have the front AIO in then, I use a top one
Dang does the MSI rtx 3090 ti suprim graphics card fit in this case with a radiator in the front of the case? It seems tight
That card is hefty. It wouldnt fit in this case.
Am i able to change the RGB colours of the fans in other pc cases ?
You can. Shouldnt be a problem.
I am planning to buy msi 360r with this case, can the tubes reach the cpu when you rotate it and have tubes reaching from bottom?
Could the RTX 3070 Ti fit in this case?
Where did you connect the led switch lead to on the MB?
sata hd install?
I have the same case, you save my money to buy an other new case for my MSI MAG Core Liquid 360R . Thanks
Happy I could help! :)
Hi! another question. I am really having a hard time getting the little button for switching the RGB Fans to work! I am going crazy with this one. What I did is, I installed the fans of the AIO on the Radiator, and the Fans that were in the MSI Gungnir 110M in the Top and rear of the case. I can control the Cooler Fans with the MSI Software, but I do NOT know how to connect the Chasis Fans of the MSI Gungnir 110M so that the button on the case would switch the colors. Can you give me guidance how to do it, so that the button finally wokrs? How did you do it?
Thank you in advance!
I'm going to assume you didn't plug the rainbow1 connector to the board or sata power to the front of the case
Hello! my fan rgb's aren't working, how can i fix that?
