- I just realized a day after posting this video that I misspelled "Louqe" about 20 times. I edited the title and description, but you're just going to have to bear with me for everything else.
This video ended up being very long, and I still didn't cover absolutely everything I wanted to. To make things easier for you, here's a list of timecodes so that you can skip around as you wish.
2:23 - Build Quality
3:28 - Live Build Guide

Austin: Can't afford food
Also Austin: Buys a $260 case XD
This is the best TH-cam comment I've ever gotten
Austin Huffman lmao I feel the pain, pc building is an expensive hobby.
I just want to say that this video was immensely helpful and so detailed! I’m subbing to you :)
@@alhuff_ Also, I don't know if you'd be able to help me but im planning to do a build in this case. But I'm using a Powercolor Radeon 5700 XT (240mm*132mm*41mm) and don't know if this will fit?
@@sethgibson4155 Thanks for the sub!
Looks like louqe's website just says 305mm long so I did some measurements of my case and it looks like you'd have to get a tophat to fit that gpu. The top of it looks like it comes exactly to the top of the case and even if that fits you'll have the power cables coming out of the top too that definitely won't fit without a tophat.
Austin Huffman DAMN, that’s what I was afraid of lol bc I currently have a Streacom DA2 case and my GPU is just too wide to fit the side panel on. I’ll try to think of a solution. Thank you!!
by far the best ghost s1 build vid i've watched to-date, and i've watched many, most of the other vids seem much more concerned with sexy video production quality than detailed step-by-step instructions, hints, tips, and advice, so i tip my hat to you sire, well done and very much appreciated... half of my components for my ghost s1 build arrived today and the rest will arrive tomorrow, this is going to be fun!
*subtly hinting at Optimum Tech* lmao. I do agree with you this video was exceptionally made. Raw footage will be perfect for my build
A tip for everyone watching: connect everything that is relatet to power first to motherboard, gpu etc, and then connect it to the powersuply once it is in place. Far easier. And get a top hat, large :)
I really appriciate the honest-feeling commentary and personal take on how you're gonna use this case, the slightly shaky camera work and the best-effort editing. This is what *You*Tube should be - normal people making videos for another normal people. Thanks.
I had all the components sitting here for a while now I feel confident to put it all together so yeah thank you so much
Bro you have all the skills of some of the best TechTubers I've watched. Keep up the good work. You could be the next Austin Evans or LTT. You got a sub from me. I'll see ya at 100K. You have the potential unlike many I've seen on this platform!
Thanks man!
@@alhuff_ agreed
Jfunkey Absolutely, his voice is calming and he's thorough. Very good qualities among others that he had.
It’s pronounced *Low-Key* according to the guy that created it.
Kinda dont like it lol. I thought it was pronouced L' oque' like L + ' oak' rhyming with 'woke' as to being some french type word.
Sweet video my only complain is the crazy auto-focus, when you have an always still subject like an object: manual focus is always the way to go :)
Have a great week and keep it up the great job
Very detailed video. I have seen other videos on this case and you point out a few things the others missed. Thanks for the good content keep it up! I look forward to your top hat video.
Thanks! I also look forward to when tophats are available again 😂
Thanks for this in-depth install vid! You saved me a lot of time last weekend migrating my pc :) I just installed top exhaust fan today dropped my temp by about 5 deg. cel. Definitely worth to get a midsize tophat
Very informative and a useful content!! Thank you.
thanks for the mounting TIPS they are so good ^^ also if you have a Dualshock 4 as controller, with the touchpad u can basically replace your mouse :) so more space in your backpack ^^
I recently tried out a friend's DS4 and the touchpad is pretty cool. I just don't know if I could ever get used to the thumbstick placement haha, I've been using Xbox controllers since the original.
Really solid video! I think you definitely have some youtube skills and organized this video well. Keep it up :) -your 98th sub
Great insights - much appreciated
Gonna be building this and boy in the coming months. Just waiting for a compatible 4070 TI super
Make sure to roll the low end off your vocal tracks in your EQ as it will clean up your vocals tremendously and make these voice overs sound way way better.
Thanks for the tip! I had just gotten my AT2020 before recording this video, still learning good mic positioning and editing practices.
Austin Huffman you’re best off not being too close to the mic so it doesn’t pick up all the noise you’ll get from talking and opening and closing your mouth. Also be sure to use a pop filter to cut down on the S sounds. Plenty of really awesome plugins for vocal processing out there too! A few small tips can completely change a vocals quality!
Let’s gooooo, a fellow sun devil 😈
Transitions could be jazzed up more (maybe that was the college kid vibe you were going for) but this was a really great and informative video. Thanks buddy
I love my Louqe S1. Top hat w/ 240mm aio and 9900k.
This is something Mac users can only dream of.
Sadly, Mac users can't build a PC, just remember that horrible video from the verge hahaha
*Thanks. Just ordered mine on Amazon today (they restocked). Doing a 9900k/RX5700 hackintosh build.* Video soon.
Nice video, in some way I appreciate the Phone quality video but with a nice audio setup It in fact match the low budget/small space/I'm a college student vibe, If you don't mind answering what its your recording setup? did you plug a external mic on your phone (Or camera idk) or did you made a voice over?
Thanks! You were right about my recording "setup". It's currently just me in my dorm with my phone (Galaxy S8) and an Audio Technica AT2020 hooked up to my computer that I picked up for really cheap in a eBay auction. I sync the audio in post by clapping lol
This is how a proper video should look like. Congrats for the excellent review.
Great video. Thank you
Very nice job! You killed it!
Nice guide, I didn't even know this thing could take 2.5“ drives 😎
great content and video production quality. the ghost s1 is definitely one of the best looking cases but i have decided it is too limited for high end cpu (5900x) and large gpu (rtx 3000). there are also some issues with top hat color consistency and flex.
i want my next ryzen build (first build in 8yrs) to run as silent as possible with cpu/gpu temps below 75 under load.
i hope more manufacturers build sff cases like this (but bigger and more compatible with larger cpu coolers and gpus). most atx cases look too bulky (and ugly) in my opinion.
Yo, so I know you said you didn’t want to make a separate video covering the Loque Tophats but uhh...I really wanna see you make a video covering it.
Awesome video, loved the whiteboard approach! However, what was with the continuous focusing! It hurt my eyes. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks! Sorry about the auto focusing problem, there were a lot of shots where I forgot to lock AF. I've definitely learned my lesson for the future!
Could you please do a follow up video on this? I like your vid style and quality lol
fantastic video Austin.
Thank you for the detailed build. I sub'd and look forward to more! (You sound a lot like the 9to5 Mac guy! - I had to double-check this wasn't one of his vids!) One minor super nit-picky thing though - 4:42 - it's "tricks up my sleeve", or "experience under my belt" - not "tricks under my belt" ....
looks like it s more recommended to use m 2 ssd and not large sff for better airflow and less cables. modular psu looks important too.
Next time you do this, make sure to have your lens on manual focus :)
Thanks man, great work
There is the Nuvolo Steck, a cheap knock off of the Louqe Ghost S1 for around $150 with a pair of tempered glass windows and a top hat to allow you to use a 240mm AIO cpu cooler.
These cheaper knock offs have also been something I've wanted to look into to compare how much quality you sacrafice getting one
Austin Huffman build is okay, metal isn’t on the same level as the Louqe Ghost. It has similar functionality for less money.
I use the Dan A4 case and it doubles as a space heater with a 9900k and Titan RTX.
The chassis of the ghost also does double as a great hand warmer on cold nights
@@alhuff_ I had both the Ash and the silver ghost s1 cases but I really wanted to water cool the cpu and not add the top hats so I ended up with the Dan case with the 92mm Asetek liquid cooler. I really like the Ghost case great build quality.
I've had my Ghost for months and am just now realizing you can move the PSU bracket up... I was wondering how people fit SSDs or a fan below with stock cables. Great video with some awesome tips.
I could be wrong but your i/o shield might be backwards which is why you had to tape it.
Can you tell me what the second cable you plugged in to the motherboard at 13:23 is? Do I need it?
Damn I'm feeling this video !!!
Damn your build is loud. How is the GPU noise? I had a Nvidia RTX 2060 Super FE and it was the loudest part in my build. I swapped it for an EVGA RTX 2070 Super XC, which is way more silent - in particular on idle as you can set custom fan curves. It can also turn off fans completely, but I found a bug probably due to thermal and space that makes fans constantly turn off and on. But putting fan speed just 30% as lowest makes it completely silent on idle With both my builds and GPUs I had coil noise, which was the most noisy thing about the 2060 Super also. Not sure if it's because of my PSU (Corsair SF600). My Build is now 35 dba on idle and maximum 55 dba on full load.
Great video.
Love the video enjoy the pc
Anyone know what the background music is?
What did you do with the your old case and AIO? Sold them? keep as spear parts? or what? just wondering?
Nice video, keep it up!
This is a good ass video
Best ghost s1 building guide. Is it possible for an extra exhaling fan if not installing 2.5 drive?
Hi, can you fit a ssd and one fan on the bottom?
This is a great video!
Hi! Could you please let me know your thoughts on do I need a medium top hat with a12x25 fans if I am planning to use evga 2080ti and i9900k?
Yeah I would definitely recommend a top hat airflow oriented build for components that put out that much heat. However you might also be able to get away with a small tophat and lower profile fans. I believe Optimum Tech has some videos with numbers on these setups
@@alhuff_ thank you so much!
yo lil tip from a professional VO actor. Green apples will get rid of those "clicks"
Thanks! Will definitely try it out
Loque, phonetically, would be “Loki” or close to it.
Hello, great video very informative. When will the case be available again in the US?
How’s the fan?
does the graphics cards blow hot hair on SSD / HDD ? also what are the temps of hdd ? in IDLE and load
I always pronounced it "low key" because the case pretty low key.
Could you please share your parts list?
Do you think think this case is suitable for a Ryzen 9 3950x, cooled by a noctua nhl12 or similar?
What's CPU are you running in yours?
Will all those fingerprints wipe off with some water or a microfiber cloth?
Great video. Really benefited from cable routing tips. Got case from Amazon this week. Just waiting for mobo to arrive and I can start build. Will use Ryzen 3600 and 5700xt. Would you put the thin fan in the bottom of case like others have done for that cpu? Just curious
Hi, I was wondering how you were doing with this case so far?I'm planning on getting it with a 5700xt as well (10700k, no overclock for my CPU) but I'm worried about the temps. I'm thinking of getting a thing fan on the bottom as well if it helps with the temps.
@@hi_sayri I did a slight undervolt on my GPU initially and the computer did well never any temp problems. I ran stock cpu fan. I recently upgraded cooler to the noctua designed for the ghost and at the same time I put a FULL THICKNESS fan on the bottom as an exhaust. I used a fan grill from Amazon that I saw on Reddit for the S1. Have removed undervolt and still have had no temp issues. Hope that helps
wow i'm not agree there is mutch more insane tiny case than the ghost s1 with this good finish
what heat spreaders would you recommend for the nvme on mobos that have the back slot that touches the GPU in this case?
Most nvme drives that don't already come with heat spreaders don't need them, they're mostly a gimmick included with high end mobos. I am also looking to upgrade to a mobo with an extra nvme slot on the back in the future, and there is enough space and a partition between the gpu so that you probably don't have to worry about getting a heat spreader for an nvme drive on the back
@@alhuff_ awesome, thanks for your insight !
Get a "pccooler i100 pro mesh" for $50 and have the exact same form factor case ;)
is this MKIII?
Is it just me who needs Dust Filter? Does it have it?
It’s Lok, like Loki without the key.
Haha, that's a good way of putting it!
Wouldn't that be pronounced "low"?
Nice video!
I'm wondering if this case comes with a pcie4 or pcie3 riser cable?
Included Armored and shielded Twin Axial 300 mm PCIe 16x Gen3+ riser
Yup, like @@justincocos said. Comes with a gen 3 riser. I don't currently believe any gen4 risers exist, as you'd need some sort of active component, like a repeater, for gen 4. Although, I don't think you'll have to worry about a gpu being bottlenecked by gen 3 for years to come.
The latest version of the Dan A4-SFX does include a Gen4 PCIe riser cable. I got one on the way to me right now.
Ahh well imma do this for my first build. What can go wrong
Will you be getting an AIO anytime soon?
Why didn't you undervolt the GPU? Would probably gain a lot from it...
22:57 And the the Nvidia 3080 was announced...
NICE...
wOrk.
22:57 the game you playing looks fun!! what game is it?
Jedi: Fallen Order. It was definitely a great experience
Whats the psu u used bro
Corsair SF600, maybe try to go for the 80+ platinum one if you can, it has pre sleeved cables.
You neeeeeed a better camera, tips canon m200
Great video anyways!
your 8K future TV begs to differ that big cases are dead
please fix the focus
I can’t help but noticed, you had ONLY use one screw to mount your ssd?
That’s something I reckon a “will goes wrong someday in the future”
That's the glory of solid state storage, mount it literally anywhere you want, however you want! Definitely not my sketchiest SSD mount ever 😂
Maybe it would be more solid by simply glue or double side duct tape
XD XD
My ssd doesn't even have a screw mounting it to anything. Just kind of floating around in my case
I almost got motion sickness from that auto focus. I couldnt even watch the video past 7mins.
ASU ASU ASU
love this vid, but the first 6-7 mins are out focusing
Shame this case can't really cool a 3900X
auto focus noooo
Dude TURN OFF autofocus.
If only they could improve their SLOW production system...
WAIT!!...you can't afford food, but you bought a crazy expensive case and a even more expensive surface book?...money works strangely in America 😆😆😆
You're playing a FPS on a game pad ON A PC.
BROSEPH, join the mouse and keyboard master race FFS.
thats not nvme... thats a sata in M.2 form factor
A lot of the cheaper m.2 drives out there are sata which I honestly see as a waste, so I made sure to get one that takes advantage the nvme protocol and uses the full x3 pci link to get those insane boot speeds. I can link you a few options of these drives if you want
@@alhuff_ nvme drives usually have only 1 notch in the connector, and sata have 2, but yes I'd like to see what's up
says $3,000 laptop for rich, own a surface book 2 😂
your video would be perfect if you stop zooming in like you are doing, so how do you get more likes?
This weird choppy out of focus nonsense is really annoying to watch.
same with the lip smacking I couldn't finish
That auto focus, made it unwatchable for me.
