Im REALLY liking the look of this small build, nice and clean and minimalist from the outside. Obviously people will be commenting about the front panel being solid etc but as youve proven before it sometimes doesnt affect the thermals that much depending on the components used. The lack of RGB appeals to me (of course).....it could easily be mistaken for a NAS drive this one. Thanks for the in depth video Mike and Kath 🙂
Glad you like it! it is a nice little case, doesn't take up a lot of more and doesn't toast your components, sounds like a good deal to me and £30 cheaper than the jonsbo D30 that shares a similar chassis
This is a good chimney case. If this is for mid level rig, use back exhaust for 120 ail for CPU and use it for intake. You'll blow air over what needs it around the CPU. With how the PSU is a 3rd exhaust you'll enjoy a nice chimney effect with maximum use. Thin non ARGB fans below and dust filter on 120 aio. Efficiently cooled mid-grade build. I would enjoy a stealth/no RGB build with this. Possibly add custom length cable for better wire management. Maybe ITX short cables?
Seems like a decent case but the price and the solid front panel make this a pass from me, also it doesn't come with any case fans which is a big drawback for me.
Thanks, Mike, this is a really helpful review. I have to fit my gaming PC under the TV so a height restriction of 400mm and width restriction of 250 mm. This case would work really well because it doesn't have a PSU basement so is short (not tall) and the connectors and power switch are on the front panel not the top. The tempered glass both sides should help reduce noise because of their weight. It does look like a really nice case especially for the price. I have a mini ITX motherboard, a Ryzen 5 5700G and a Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 Ti which is a bit wider than 2 slots and does produce a fair bit of heat. This all squeezes into the portable Lian Li TU150WA Aluminium Mini-ITX Case but it is a bit ventilation constrained when the GPU is working hard. Also since the panels are not screwed on, the cabling tends to push them off. I could fit two intake fans at the bottom in this case because the mini ITX motherboard only has the one PCIe slot so the graphics card would be a little higher than yours. I'd reorient the Nocua U12S to move air upwards not rearwards. All very doable. This would be a positive pressure system which would help with keeping dust out (remember there is still the unfiltered passive ventilation at the back). With the fans on the bottom and the tempered glass it could be a quiet system too. So this case certainly does look interesting, and this is a very helpful review. Thanks again.
That mini GPU is one particularly easy to cool. But you can put something bigger if you're willing to try your hand at deshrouding and adding a little tape or 3D printed thingy to direct the airflow from bottom fans straight through the GPU cooler. After seeing the temps the NR200 can get get I fell in love with vertical airflow cases. I'm definitely interested in the ATX model. I hope they have a version with a side bracket to mount fans just like the NR200. Also I wish the feet were a little bit taller.
Love the Gamemax Spark case aesthetic 🥰🤯🤤🫠! As an itx builder for many years, I’m used to these “convection” cooling design layouts and they can be very effective at case cooling when done right!. I would love to do a build in this case …. You’re lucky Mike 💪🤤🤯🫠🥰. I wish I had an unlimited budget and unlimited space to buy a number of cases on my Wishlist like this one and actually have room to store it 😓. Great job by Gamemax once again on another terrific case 💪😇👍.
Great video, have subscribed as a result! UK too, bonus! :) I recently got this case - long mATX builder - started with the Prodigy, then the M, then a few unbranded cases until I got to this recently. It's very neat, however I had a PSU cabling problem with the IEC extension fitting the other way round (Corsair PSU), so have had to order a different mains cable. I had the same issue with the Prodigy, ten years ago! One can't turn the PSU around, I did think to use longer screws to drop the PSU down a bit and create that space for the right angled IEC cable to fit. Just a consideration before getting this case - although with a bit of modding or rewiring, easy enough to sort. I really like that Gamemax combined the USB C and A ports onto the one standard motherboard header, that is some good engineering! :) Had a previous IONZ KZ17 case that gave me the Type E connector, and that is a long story - didn't work too well...
@@mikesunboxing Cheers, will do! I ended up getting the jigsaw out and, whoops, there goes the warranty! 🤣 Cut various slots for the SATA power cables so they didn't kink 🪚⚡
hey mike, i'm looking at either this case or the new gamemax m60 which seems like it just barely was released. I like the concept of this case a lot more since the m60 is just your standard mAtx case which means my card would be really close to the psu shroud and restrict airflow. the only concern for the gamemax to me is space inside, how's the cable management on this spark?
actually answered my own question watching the video again lol im leaning towards the m60 now since i have the same steel legend board and use a pulse 5600xt which will definitely be closer to those bottom fan mounts so adding bottom fans could be an issue more than a benefit. plus the m60 is a bit smaller in size which is what i'm going for. great video as always!
@@mikesunboxing thanks mike! i decided to go for the m60 due to the reasons i said above after watching your video again. I really like the vertical airflow design but its too bad i happen to have a mobo that puts my gpu way too low for any bottom fans to not cause turbulence. the m60 seems like a nice simple case, i should be getting it in today so hopefully it checks out!
@@mikesunboxing hey mike! so i finished building in the M60 last week with a 3600/5600xt combo and i gotta say i was really impressed with the temps i was getting. even without a mesh front panel just simply having mesh sides lets everything breathe so well. Dont know if you have any plans for any more gamemax build videos but I'd say this case is definitely worth checking out if its still on sale for $40. What a deal!
I installed an artic p12 pwm intake fan on the bottom of the case, and second p12 pwm exaust on the rear side - at the same level with cpu cooler. Didnt had time to test it, cause Ive done it fast, for my parents pc. But now I'm wondering, if the bottom fan will not affect gpu temps (cause half of it blows directly at gpu causing positive airflow, and half of it goes up between cpu and psu), and overal airflow (maybe it was better to install it like an exaust also on upper side of the case)???
@@mikesunboxing none of them do sadly thats a bummer 😞. But thnx for the reaction i can order similar cases from amazon out of the uk to the netherlands to. Any cheap or budget suggestions?
@@mikesunboxing thanks, i have an exact motherboard but still deciding on this case, so is it going to defeat the purpose of having fans if the GPU and fans are too close together?
Looks a quality well built case hence the higher pricing and like the idea of hiding the psu! Looks as good as any expensive cases out there! My queries would regard fitting a tower cooler, as they are designed with front intake rear exhaust. Would this benefit from smaller itx mb so room for fans at bottom? Surely having panels in place and lower fans would converge airflow over mb heatsinks/cpu hence cooler temps? Interesting review and the case build look great! Thanks Mike, Kath and gamemax👍
Thanks for the review Mike. I wanted to build in an NR200P but I don't like that it's expensive, needs an ITX motherboard and SFX power supply, and you can't use an AIO with the tempered glass side panel. This looks like a great budget alternative.
@@mikesunboxing They're one of the most popular MFF case out there, and I think this Gamemax Spark (Jonsbo D30) could be a good rival for it.

I have this case, definitely not going to fit a 280mm AIO with a standard ATX power supply. An Arctic freezer 240mm AIO is snug. Bottom 140mm fans fit, but I couldn't then plug in my Front USB 3.0 and also with my Motherboard and a 2.5 slot GPU could only fit 15mm fans in the bottom slots. But I really like it it's simple and clean, cable management isn't difficult but then I have no sata drives or RGB and flows alot of air, I use the rear 120mm as intake to feed the AIO, runs quiet and cool
Why do you never see a bottom filter as a slidable tray that you can slide out the front, clean it, then slide it back in. That would be so useful instead of having to turn your pc on its side to pull the filter out?
I think it is a very interesting case and checked the price here in the Philippines. There are three different front panel colors. Grey, black and a (what I would call a baby) Yuanfeng Blue. They are running close to or a little over a hundred USD.
The Airflow is unique for this case did Gamemax design this or use a schematic from another case ? and Don't blame Kath and the Kids for the Mess Mike lol its normally us Getting the blame or in my case lol i know you said cats
If it had mesh side panels, it would have been really awsome alternative to the Itek evoke (which is an even smaller MATX case). And more fan rail/mounting opfions, it would have been perfect. Its more in scale to a Lian-li 250m.Still a stylish case though.
eah not a bad price for the quality and keeping in mind that a lot of things are getting more expensive, this could have been a £40-£50 case if not for inflation etc
your charts make the differences seem bigger than they really are, when really its barely a difference. One chart just 40 point difference was twice the size of the other bar. So missleading if people don't pay attention.
couldn't find GameMax spark mini at where I am (only full size ATX cases), so ended up with a slightly more expensive Jonsbo D30 instead ($60 vs $90). Wouldn't pay the extra if I had a choice, but Jonsbo seems to have thicker metal, so the price probably is justified. Also Jonsbo has a metal back lid, which I frankly like more. In the first approach I put 2 120 intake fans at the bottom to blow at GPU, but the temperatures were skyrocketing, so I moved the fans to the top making them to exhaust air, and added one more next to the CPU. as the result temperatures were slashed by at least 10°C, so don't repeat my mistake and put top exhaust fans first, there are no other holes, so the air is sucked from the bottom mesh anyway
Right off the back i can tell you that taking air from the bottom and pushing it out through the top will hinder your airflow because you know there is something thats usually between the bottom and top of the case and will impede your airflow. That's right. A hugggeee gpu. The gpu will work as a wall between the top and bottom
doesn't seem to effect it much as you would think and also it keeps the gpu cooler and therefore can squeeze a bit more out of it, or enjoy the quieter fans, you should try one
@@mikesunboxing i hear you but my brain just does not accept it. A large gpu is like installing a new wall between 2 rooms and leaving only a doorway open. I just know it should affect airflow significantly. Unless a cpu stress test is done with a large gpu and then again without the large GPU but instead using an onboard gpu we will have the exact numbers
Gamemax describe GPU till 355mm If the PSU is not to long. But will IT fit with the cable there are come from ? I think about the xfx rx6900xt swft319 its 340mm. And thx for your content, very helpfull for me. I like your funny live builds/unboxings Videos nice and familliar. Cheers from Germany
thanks my german friend! i think that might work but would be pretty tight, if you let me know the PSU size i might be able to mock something up to confirm sizing, or at least to the best of my ability
@@mikesunboxing the PSU messures 140x150x86mm. It is the Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 850 full modular. I think as you very tight for a small build, other 6900xt 335mm. Thx and Happy Halloween
Another company YEYIAN is currently selling an identical case (as of march 2024 this one is out of stock) I wish I could have got this exact one since it doesn’t have the brand name on the front.
useless video.. why would you put a dual slot less than 10 inch in there for what ??????????????? how does that help us ??????? we know that card will fit.... put one that is 13" long then your video might actually have a point because thats the deal beaker.
you are thinking this video was made for you, it isn't there are a lot of people out there with other needs and other graphics cards. Try not being so selfish

doesn't seem to effect it much as you would think and also it keeps the gpu cooler and therefore can squeeze a bit more out of it, or enjoy the quieter fans, you should try one
@@mikesunboxing i hear you but my brain just does not accept it. A large gpu is like installing a new wall between 2 rooms and leaving only a doorway open. I just know it should affect airflow significantly. Unless a cpu stress test is done with a large gpu and then again without the large GPU but instead using an onboard gpu we will have the exact numbers
@@optimumpcyt i often get surprised when thermals come out differently than i expect, and am getting used to it these days
Gamemax describe GPU till 355mm If the PSU is not to long. But will IT fit with the cable there are come from ?
I think about the xfx rx6900xt swft319 its 340mm.
And thx for your content, very helpfull for me. I like your funny live builds/unboxings Videos nice and familliar.
Cheers from Germany
thanks my german friend! i think that might work but would be pretty tight, if you let me know the PSU size i might be able to mock something up to confirm sizing, or at least to the best of my ability
@@mikesunboxing the PSU messures 140x150x86mm.
It is the Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 850 full modular. I think as you very tight for a small build, other 6900xt 335mm.
Thx and Happy Halloween
has anyone verified if a 280 aio can fit in the top?
it might be tight
Another company YEYIAN is currently selling an identical case (as of march 2024 this one is out of stock)
I wish I could have got this exact one since it doesn’t have the brand name on the front.
thanks i'll take a look at that brand
You can always get 15mm slim fans to go in the bottom of the case of your GPU is thicc.
yeah arctic just released a few new ones
Chieftec UNI BX-10B-OP
thanks!
!!! CRAP JOKE FRIDAY !!!
I told my wife that she had drew her eyebrows on too high.
She seemed surprised.
What kind of makeup do ghosts wear?
Mas-scare-a.
That's an Jonsbo D30 clone.
yes that is right. jonsbo are the ODM for most of the cases on the market
@mikesunboxing oh thanks nice to know. I was unsure between the d30 and fractal mini pop air. Now i will pick the gamemax. ✌🏽
This case is interresting, but not available in Canada. Good thing my wallet told me...
haha, glad you liked it though
Look for the Jonsbo D30 - this is just a rebrand.
@@stephanweinberger jonsbo d30 is way expensive tho
@@BBIMM depends on the country. Here in Austria it's actually cheaper than the Gamemax version (because of import tariffs).
@@stephanweinberger yeah, gamemax cost around $30-40 while jonsbo d30 cost around $70-80 here in indonesia
Will it fit a 4090? 🤣
With a few modifications maybe 😂
Yes it does lol
@@oblivionlord1242 Thanks for the info
useless video.. why would you put a dual slot less than 10 inch in there for what ??????????????? how does that help us ??????? we know that card will fit.... put one that is 13" long then your video might actually have a point because thats the deal beaker.
you are thinking this video was made for you, it isn't there are a lot of people out there with other needs and other graphics cards. Try not being so selfish
its shit just get the thermaltake v21 lmao
totally different case
Would this fit a evga rtx 2080 xc ultra with 2 fans under neath it?
not sure but unlikely i think
