I just got one for 50 today. I was wacthing other MITX case reviews, and it was on the best temps list for CPU and GPU. It gets such hate for poor temps, but all these ITX cases have bad temps? I got a new desk to hold my 3 monitors, and it has weird shelves, that are oddly small. They are also wire grate shelves. So I will solve the vertical issue (Which is clearly the fan is being blocked... Put on feet hello) and it will fit my shelve. Use extensions for the IO, and you could put a second rad up there. It presents challenges, but there is solutions to end up with a really neat build imo. For 50, cant go wrong.
would love to see more products like this in a larger form factor. feels like the case market is a bit stale at the moment, lots of minor variations to a predefined template. cost is a BIT much, but can be forgiven for being unique.
@@HardwareCanucks I disagree. I have the H1 with the stock AIO and fan on a 3900x, overclocked to 4.3ghz @1.2v and it only gets up to 76C under max load (55-60C while gaming). I also have three 40mm Noctua fans modded in to assist in GPU cooling that brings down the GPU temps by 15C
The only thing i hate about this chassis is that the side panel is on the left instead on the right. other than that, it’s a fantastic case. great video too!

Okay whaaaat, I seriously thought this was an official video from Asus themself based on the quality, until I saw Dmitri and remembered its another great hardware canucks video
you forgot to mention one thing : The maximal amount of cooling you can have is when the case is on the horizontal orientation, but when used that way, you have to put your 240mm rad on the bottom, with the pump on the top of the loop, which can damage the pump in the long run
I think Dmitri's opening comment about it being a show piece pretty much sums it up. These kinds of cases aren't meant to be easy to use, they are for folks who want to have a little challenge. It being an ITX case is irrelevant because most people these days only use the PCI slot for the video card so anything bigger than ITX is likely not needed. As for the cable issue, I've said it before but reviewers tend to forget than folks who build their PCs aren't usually disconnecting cables once things are set up, especially a show piece like this. If a builder is looking for an easy to work with case, I agree this ain't it but for folks who love RGB and that sick sci-fi look, its a killer.
Well done video my man! You're correct about the AIO placement with the pump being above the radiator causing issues, but when it comes to custom water cooling a pump/rez combo unit placement doesn't matter. A custom water cooled pump/reservoir can be above the radiator with no issues at all.
If you put the radiator below, air bubbles inside AIO liquid cooler will go upwards(cpu block with pump) which will make it mostly run on dry thereby making the AIO less effective and more prone to breakage.

@1:48 let's discuss how bottom mount aio is a design flaw. Any air, which exists in all aio coolers, will sit within the pump for any asetek pump. Looks like there is an alternative mounting location at the back for this orientation which will easily allow it to be mounted barbs down to solve this.
People say air flow sucks but they can't understand that an aluminium case will dissipate heat way better. Plus that's way its water cooled. Water cooling the GPU would help tremendously on heat, ouldnt mind picking one of these up but can't find it for sale anywhere.
I bought this on clearance at newegg for $50. After doing a build in it, I can tell why it was on clearance. The mobo rear IO being inside the case really irks me. Not being able to mount AIO into the 2 140mm spot irks me. The AIO tubes barely (with some bending stress) fit next to the mobo rear IO when you mount AIO to the "back". The case looks great... the brushed anodized aluminum, the front panel, the glass... such a beautiful case but the functionality of the design is so far off the mark. Just a few tweaks and it would be a huge winner but it comes up so short. Especially anytime you have to plug something into the rear mobo io... its so fn annoying. Trashing the case for a Cooler Master NR200P max. Seems better thought out.
I expect future cases to provide internal cooling solutions, and solutions that will reduce heat or filter warm air or something like that. The design aspect of an already overly big format is not the real discussion we should be having.
I was just about to pull the trigger on this case until I watched your review. I can handle less-than-ideal build conditions if the end result is going to look awesome, but making the IO such a pain in the butt to access when you're actually using the PC completely kills it for me.
Even tu150 is less than half the price and half the size lol. Phanteks shift air is half this things size with a way smaller footprint if you really want that vertical style.
I remember gamersnexus looking at this case and saying the airflow looks terrible so im interested to see how it does. Interesting to see this is one of the few ITX cases that is large enough to fit a 3080 lol
I was sold on this case the first time I saw it, but after looking stuff up, Idk… The main issue I have with it is the whole mobo i/o thing… Like, why? You guys really couldn’t think of a better means to address that? I just imagine myself getting insanely frustrated trying to work with this thing if I did get it. Maybe the end result would be satisfying, but I may just look into something else. A truly mind boggling case this is. Bigger than some mid towers, but for mini itx / dtx. Okay, Asus.
If only this could fit a 280+240 rad, it would be great for a full custom loop show piece. There may be workarounds like using angled adapters for the mobo I/O, but there seem to be too many compromises to make dual rads work.
watching the 1st 2 minutes going "I hope this thing isn't expensive" Then I hear it's $279 as I give a sigh of relief because I spent more on my current case and I'd imagine it's almost as big a nightmare to work in given my choice of components and the case in general. It's the IbuyPower Snowblind
Having the AIO rad at the bottom like that means you’ll get all your air bubbles at the highest point in the loop, which in this example is the cpu block, right where the pump is. You’ll wear our your pump faster, get worse performance since the fins in the block won’t be perfectly saturated and it’ll sound like a fish tank bubbler. Rubbish case for cooling relative to its size, GN did a look over it and immediately could tell the ventilation would be choked and space was poorly optimised too
i like how it's not tied to one orientation, its like having 2 cases. love the idea. question: does combo jack need a splitter? or it only needs 1 jack (either the mic or audio) to plug in?
i love it. definitely the care providen to each single detail is absolutely amazing. they don't copyed anyone and they made a brand new format started from a blank page. usualy itx case looks cheap and ugly. i'm an itx lover and this is definitely a case that looks original for an high end configuration, embedding up to 2 radiators. i'm not a fan of rog. actually i'm very faithful of razer. having this rog case in the middle of razer stuff will look weird in my configuration, but this rog case has justified its price, while razer released a 300$ case just renaming a 100$ lian li and adding their logo this 2 rgb. and i'm a razer fan. so maybe you're used to see cases everyday. nowedays configurations for gaming are so expensive, you can invest in a 300$ case cause unlike cpu or gpu you can make it survive decades. plus if you invest in a 2000€ rog gpu you want that "rog" behing featured also on your case. so this is perfect combnaison with an "ROG STRIX LC RX 6900 XT" gpu (which comes with a radiotor)
this is a possible configuration for 4k gaming and streaming (some people prefer having 2 separate computers, not me). __ i don't run games in highert settings, but i have a 4k monitor, and i record for youtube simultaneously i stream for twitch, i use streamlab obs for all notifications and useful plugins, i have an animated overlay. so all this stuff consumes my ressources and my actual 450w rx570 config is not powerful enough. mergin to a 850w 6900xt is necessary. at some point i bought an xbox one x to having a separate gaming machine, but xbox one x don't support 21:9 monitors. was announced has feature, then upcoming feature. and never came. they do the same with series. so i play on pc now, tired of this policy of "will comes later... maybe... one day" announced features. it's maybe more expensive, but the entiere freedom you get in exchange is priceless. plus, streaming on xbox is limited in 1080p, without any possible streamlabs (donations) integration. elgato recording devices have same issue than xbox, don't support 21:9 resolutions. the only alternate solution is to use a shadow remote machine for gaming and my actual machine for streaming. __ - ASUS Radeon ROG STRIX LC RX 6900 XT O16G-GAMING (1829 €) [with 240 radiator] - psu ASUS ROG-STRIX-850G 80PLUS Gold (249 €) - ASUS ROG Z11 With Seven (299 €) - RYZEN 9 3900 (336 €) - ASUS ROG Strix LC120 RGB (159 €) [cpu cooler] - Corsair MP400 8 To (1449 €) - ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING (359 €) - Crucial DDR4 32 Go (2 x 16 Go) 2400 MHz CL17 DR X8 (207 €)

It's rule of cool personified. I like it.
People say air flow sucks but they can't understand that an aluminium case will dissipate heat way better. Plus that's way its water cooled. Water cooling the GPU would help tremendously on heat, ouldnt mind picking one of these up but can't find it for sale anywhere.
I bought this on clearance at newegg for $50. After doing a build in it, I can tell why it was on clearance.
The mobo rear IO being inside the case really irks me. Not being able to mount AIO into the 2 140mm spot irks me. The AIO tubes barely (with some bending stress) fit next to the mobo rear IO when you mount AIO to the "back".
The case looks great... the brushed anodized aluminum, the front panel, the glass... such a beautiful case but the functionality of the design is so far off the mark. Just a few tweaks and it would be a huge winner but it comes up so short. Especially anytime you have to plug something into the rear mobo io... its so fn annoying.
Trashing the case for a Cooler Master NR200P max. Seems better thought out.
I expect future cases to provide internal cooling solutions, and solutions that will reduce heat or filter warm air or something like that. The design aspect of an already overly big format is not the real discussion we should be having.
By using extender i have made this case pretty adequate for daily usage of plug gears unplug it ^^
I was just about to pull the trigger on this case until I watched your review. I can handle less-than-ideal build conditions if the end result is going to look awesome, but making the IO such a pain in the butt to access when you're actually using the PC completely kills it for me.
Save yourself those $279 and buy an NCase M1, Ghost S1, Formd T1 or NR200 instead.
Definitely. Get an ACTUAL good ITX case instead. All the ones you said are cheaper / same price and way better optimized.
Akso, you will save at least 20L of space too
I mean you can get 2 of those almost, this case is so stupid
Even tu150 is less than half the price and half the size lol. Phanteks shift air is half this things size with a way smaller footprint if you really want that vertical style.
What about the Sliger SM580
I like the aspect ratio of ur videos
I remember gamersnexus looking at this case and saying the airflow looks terrible so im interested to see how it does.
Interesting to see this is one of the few ITX cases that is large enough to fit a 3080 lol
It is indeed terrible, my Asus Strix 3080 is in constant pain at 60c at idle and 88c under load inside this case.
I was sold on this case the first time I saw it, but after looking stuff up, Idk… The main issue I have with it is the whole mobo i/o thing… Like, why? You guys really couldn’t think of a better means to address that? I just imagine myself getting insanely frustrated trying to work with this thing if I did get it. Maybe the end result would be satisfying, but I may just look into something else. A truly mind boggling case this is. Bigger than some mid towers, but for mini itx / dtx. Okay, Asus.
You know its *gamer* when it has a Z in the name
Asus entering the SFF market with the Z11 is like going to a sophisticated gala dressed as a Megazord from Power Rangers.
Looks like it could fit at least four Ghost S1's inside of it
The only thing I got out of this review is to buy right-angled cables and a slim Radiator for the top fans.
I feel bamboozled. This case is huge and I'd def never look at it if I was building an ITX system
TRON or what?? Awesome intro..
This intro tho!! ♥️
0:13 in and love those filters 👌
If only this could fit a 280+240 rad, it would be great for a full custom loop show piece. There may be workarounds like using angled adapters for the mobo I/O, but there seem to be too many compromises to make dual rads work.
watching the 1st 2 minutes going "I hope this thing isn't expensive" Then I hear it's $279 as I give a sigh of relief because I spent more on my current case and I'd imagine it's almost as big a nightmare to work in given my choice of components and the case in general. It's the IbuyPower Snowblind
Having the AIO rad at the bottom like that means you’ll get all your air bubbles at the highest point in the loop, which in this example is the cpu block, right where the pump is. You’ll wear our your pump faster, get worse performance since the fins in the block won’t be perfectly saturated and it’ll sound like a fish tank bubbler. Rubbish case for cooling relative to its size, GN did a look over it and immediately could tell the ventilation would be choked and space was poorly optimised too
i like how it's not tied to one orientation, its like having 2 cases. love the idea.
question: does combo jack need a splitter? or it only needs 1 jack (either the mic or audio) to plug in?
With custom loop, pump does not have to be above the radiator. Pump just has to feed from the reservoir, That's the only thing.

When it’s mini itx but super big and only compatible with a 240 rad......defo worth the money. Tbh it does look pretty cool tho
i love it. definitely the care providen to each single detail is absolutely amazing. they don't copyed anyone and they made a brand new format started from a blank page. usualy itx case looks cheap and ugly. i'm an itx lover and this is definitely a case that looks original for an high end configuration, embedding up to 2 radiators. i'm not a fan of rog. actually i'm very faithful of razer. having this rog case in the middle of razer stuff will look weird in my configuration, but this rog case has justified its price, while razer released a 300$ case just renaming a 100$ lian li and adding their logo this 2 rgb. and i'm a razer fan. so maybe you're used to see cases everyday. nowedays configurations for gaming are so expensive, you can invest in a 300$ case cause unlike cpu or gpu you can make it survive decades. plus if you invest in a 2000€ rog gpu you want that "rog" behing featured also on your case. so this is perfect combnaison with an "ROG STRIX LC RX 6900 XT" gpu (which comes with a radiotor)
this is a possible configuration for 4k gaming and streaming (some people prefer having 2 separate computers, not me).

i don't run games in highert settings, but i have a 4k monitor, and i record for youtube simultaneously i stream for twitch, i use streamlab obs for all notifications and useful plugins, i have an animated overlay. so all this stuff consumes my ressources and my actual 450w rx570 config is not powerful enough. mergin to a 850w 6900xt is necessary. at some point i bought an xbox one x to having a separate gaming machine, but xbox one x don't support 21:9 monitors. was announced has feature, then upcoming feature. and never came. they do the same with series. so i play on pc now, tired of this policy of "will comes later... maybe... one day" announced features. it's maybe more expensive, but the entiere freedom you get in exchange is priceless. plus, streaming on xbox is limited in 1080p, without any possible streamlabs (donations) integration. elgato recording devices have same issue than xbox, don't support 21:9 resolutions. the only alternate solution is to use a shadow remote machine for gaming and my actual machine for streaming.
