Thanks so much for making this video, I've referenced it loads of times when adding things in to my prebuild in this case!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, to be honest, casing market around 40-50£ now is very competitive, not a bad case, ticks all the boxes 👍
Yeah has everything you need in a budget case, tempered glass, front mesh and RGB fans
I do like an msi case review! Cheers
Thanks for your comment Mike, yeah I like MSI cases too
thanks for the video! awesome to see u talk about it ! keep it up
Thanks for the support
Just ordered it, thanks for the great video. You are the best.
Yeah thanks it’s a great case you will enjoy it
Seems a good little case for the money 😎
Yeah I think it is too
For my first PC build would you recommend this case or the Corsair 4000D case? I am open to a m-ATX and ATX motherboard.
would atx psu fit in that case?
Yes it will
@@UltraGameWorld thank you
Hi from New Zealand. Nice review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
thanks for the review, I will order it ! it's only 54 € in france, it's the best deal for m-ATX i think
Good choice!
nice vid bro, been waiting a review for this
No worries, thanks for the comment
I know you touched upon it briefly in the video but can I really fit a 360mm AIO in the front if I remove the Hard Drive Caddy? I have the Mag Forge 100R which is basically the same case but with a different front design & one less ARGB fan.
The RGB change or torn off ??????
Yes you can change the RGB colours if that’s what you mean
Hello would an MSI MPG b550 gaming plus motherboard fit in this case? and is the rgb control hub unprotected (exposed) by default? I would appreciate ur response thank you.
No the MSI MPG b550 gaming plus is an ATX motherboard and this case only fits upto MATX so this case is too small for that motherboard. The RGB hub is exposed but shouldn’t be any issue being behind the rear of the case
@@UltraGameWorld Thank you so much for your response, If it's not too much to ask could you kindly recommend a budget pc gaming case something similar to this but for the ATX motherboard i mentioned above? I would very much love to check it out if you have a review on this channel, thank you so much
Msi 100r@@RockinfunXD
The version of this I’m looking at comes with a 600w PSU for $119AUD
I wouldn’t get the version with the PSU personally as it will most likely be a generic and poor quality one
@@UltraGameWorld it was an MSI 600w 80plus power supply, the cables were a perfect length. Everything in the case worked and was a breeze to install. They did cheap out on some things, like the led button didn’t change the led’s and there was no included hub. I checked the website and the case where the button worked was a slightly different model. That was the one issue I had.
Is that fan conctor came with the case?
Yeah the fan splitter comes with the case if that is what you are referring to
@@UltraGameWorld yes i speak about that small piece that you plug the fans in
Hello! Wonderful review! Got one ordered, just waiting for it!
While i wait... does anyone know what fans are pre-installed on the case? I want to get 2 more for the top, and I'd like them to match
They are generic MSI fans that I don’t think they sell separately unfortunately. I would just buy another 2 ARGB fans as they will all sync up the same colour using the ARGB controller at the back of the case
Is it possible to replace the pre-installed fans? How hard will it be to remove the front panel of the case?
I’m having a hesitant decision choosing this case as having RGB is a pain to look at and it’s the only budget friendly case left in our physical shop.
The front panel comes off easy I showed it in this video at about 1 minute 40 seconds. The pre installed fans are easily replaced as they are only screwed in so undo the screws and the fans come out. You can just not plug in the fans if you don’t want them on but it’s easy to remove them too
@@UltraGameWorld Thanks. What are the concerns of the fans not being PWM? I mean, for a casual gamer and PC user myself it’s ok for my fans to not be PWM. But how is it a concern?
Thanks for replying my comments,one last question will it fit a asus prime b550m-a wifi ii?if it isn't what budget pc case would you recommend me
Yeah that motherboard is a MATX board and this case is MATX compatible so that board will fit fine in this case
@@UltraGameWorldbro b550m have 2 fan pin how can i work all fan
What is the clearance between the top part and the ram slots of motherboard ? Im planning on getting a liquid cooler and wondering if it can fit into this without hitting the ram slots
Yeah I think most liquid coolers would have enough clearance, maybe the very thick radiators might hit the RAM but should be good with any standard size liquid cooler
Can we install rx 7900 xtx or rtx 4080 in this case
Yeah the reference design from AMD for the rx 7900 xtx looks small enough to fit but the rtx 4080 reference design from NVidia looks to be too big for this case
hello, I have already assembled my PC but the RGB lights do not work, how do they connect to the motherboard?
So you just need to connect the ARGB hub to a SATA power connector from your PSU to power it up. You can then plug the ARGB cable from the hub to the motherboard ARGB header on your motherboard if you have that header on the motherboard
Can it fit a 1660ti graphics card and also can you add more fans to it if it is how many?
Yeah any graphics card up to 330mm in length is fine, I think the maximum amount of fans is 6 for this case
hello my friend, I'm looking at this case too, my graphics card is Asus Rx 6700 Xt, my motherboard is mAtx, but my rams are very small, will there be a problem with the large profile, because I want to install 240 mm liquid cooling on the top of the case, I don't want the cooling to conflict with the rams or the video card my second question is 650 w + 80 bronze psu is ok, thank you
The PSU is fine, the clearance could be very tight if installing a top mounted AIO, personally I would only recommend front mounting the AIO in this case
@@UltraGameWorld thank you bro
It is a good budget case but I need a GPU at a length of about 320mm.
The MSI Mag Forge 112R has room for upto 330mm GPU’s so that could be an option if you want to go to ATX case size
Do you think an RX 6700XT w/ 3 fans, specifically XFX Merc 319 fit in this case?
Looking at the measurements for that card it looks too big to fit in this case unfortunately
@@UltraGameWorld Yeah, I decided to go ATX for this one, thanks for the response
No worries thanks for commenting
it's compatible with? B760M PROJECT ZERO
No I don’t think it is as that uses the connections at the back of the motherboard and not the front
With that front panel 1:53 did you just pull the bottom on the panel out? I have this case and dint know how to take it off
Yeah pull the bottom of the panel towards you, there should be a slight gap to put your hand in between the panel and the chassis of the case
@@UltraGameWorldhi is it possible to replace the 120mm dc fans with 120mm pwm fans? With the front panel coming off?
is it possible to install a regular ATX motherboard in this case?
No this case only fits MATX or ITX motherboards unfortunately
Is it possible to put magnetic dust filter on the inside of the front mesh?
Yes if you can find one that fits
bruh my front panel so hard to open. its somehow stuck on the right side only the left can be opened. im afraid to pull it further 😅
That’s odd. might be faulty from the manufacturer. I would probably look at sending back to whoever you purchased it from for a warranty replacement
Could I install 2 extra fans on the psu shroud? Will be using matx mobo
Yes I think you can install 2 120mm fans on the PSU shroud
Can i fit my msi pro b650m-s wifi , it's atx but its taller than it
No that motherboard looks to be an ATX motherboard so you can't fit that motherboard inside an Micro ATX case unfortunately but the MSI MAG Forge 112R is an ATX case so you could use that case instead, I have done a video on my channel about that case too if you want to watch it.
Can you also add a 4 pin fan in the pc case?
You can add any 120mm or 140mm fan that you choose to the case
Is there space to install extra fans ?
In total you can fit:
Front: 3 x 120 mm
Top: 2 x 120 mm
Rear:1 x 120 mm
So with the default 4 fans pre-installed you can put an additional two fans at the top of the case.
Is 550 watts of psu enough for r5 5600g,gtx 1660 ti?
Yes will work fine
how to turn off rgb light , pressing button is not working
To turn off RGB press and hold the RGB button on the case for about 5 seconds I think that should work hopefully
This case or lian li 205m mesh......i am so confused?
Liam Li case if you have the money is the better case but this is cheaper and will do the job fine
is it possible to remove psu shroud ? forease of access
No unfortunately it is fixed
is this case suit for gigabytes 4060 aero
Yeah should fit fine
Will a normal atx power supply work in this
Yes it fits a ATX power supply
does a tri-fan gpu fit on this case?? (msi gtx 1070 ti duke trifan)
No that card is 310mm so doesn’t fit in this case as case only supports up to 300mm graphics cards
@@UltraGameWorld i saw a video fitting his amd trifan gpu on the same case, is the msi info about the case accurate?
Yeah I think it’s correct but I don’t have a big enough GPU to try it myself unfortunately
@@UltraGameWorld so do you think my trifan gpu will fit on the case perhaps??
No I think it’s too big unfortunately
i have a asus prime a320m-k mobo and it doesnt have argb header, is there any way for the fan to work? (this is my first time building a pc😭)
Yeah you just need to plug the sata power cable into the ARGB fan hub then control the rgb from the led button on the front of the case. You don’t have to connect the argb header to your motherboard if it doesn’t have that header, you can just leave it unplugged and the rgb will still work fine
@@UltraGameWorld thank you so much this is so important info, im buying the MSI Mag forge m100r case, do you think my mobo is compatible?
Yes you’re motherboard is MATX and this is an MATX case so yes it is compatible
@@UltraGameWorld thank youuu sooo much!! I subscribed!!
Thanks for your support
That is a m100A not m100r
No it’s certainly the M100R, the M100A is a slightly different case but very similar to this one
Is it possible to mount an aio at the top of the case?
Yes but might be a bit tight for motherboard clearance
@@UltraGameWorld okok thank you
3 pin fans is a disappointment
Yeah but they do the job fine
yeah.... but this case, with the fans tends to go for about £50, 4 fans on a case this cheap that isn't absolutely useless? Sounds reasonable to me
