You mention there are intel cpus better than the 7800x3d, even for a steeper price. What cpus are you referring to?
What is the temp of the room when you do these tests, PC Centric?
You could fit 3 of my PC inside that thing! $200 with no fans seems kind of nuts. I think I'd probably look at that antec with the sweet front panel if I were looking for something in that size range.
The lack of support for a 420 rad is deal breaker for me. Way too much empty space in it and just too bulky looking. I still prefer corsairs single chamber cases which are more streamlined.
Does anyone know where/how I can actually purchase a project stealth or BTF motherboard??? Iโve been looking online for hours
when can we see your own pc and the build?

Case is way too big. ๐
Everyone and their dog is doing these duel chamber cases these days
And so are you๐
I think you'd look even more AAWESOMEEE if u were a bit bulkier
Not a fan of those black screws on the front glass and the holes in the feet.
definately looks cool
Asus Tuf 502 Case Clone
Corsair has some great products overall but the cable extra are so ugly!
needs that linustechtips screwdriver to make that screwing even quicker
Personally I feel cases in this design are a little too large and look quite empty. Donโt get me wrong it does look clean, I donโt know, I really want to like them but theyโre becoming too bulky ๐คทโโ๏ธ I couldnโt see myself building inside a case like this, where would you place it, itโs too big for most desks ๐ฎ๐ Great video as always!
What i don't get is why you don't put a little more time into the builds. With an extra 15 mins you could route some of the cables in a way you wouldn't even see them. Or just straighten those GPU cables out a bit more. It comes of like you don't care at all as long as it works.
Can I have it๐๐๐ ๐
I would suggest Thermalright Tl-B12W fans
You're welcome
This is first case I've seen since I built my rig 5 years ago making me consider upgrading JUST the case. Working with an iCue 465X at the moment, one of my front USB ports doesn't work and it doesn't have enough top clearance for my radiator, so this could be the perfect upgrade for me. Plus I like iCue RGB!
I'd never do a white build. I live in the desert and we have a lot of fine mineral dust that would turn that case into a dingy brown in a couple of weeks. It is particularly difficult to get off ABS. I also don't want to pay the white tax. But it does look nice.
That case is massive. I am planning to go the other way. As soon as I save enough for a good B550 ITX board, PSU and ITX case, I am downsizing because I currently have a compact 3060 and I'm fine with being limited to low to midrange GPUs going forward because, realistically, I don't want to pay the money for flagship performance. I'm a child of the '80s so it all looks great to me, even at low settings.
Putting the hardware in a plastic case is a waste of plastic and money. Just chuck it all in a bag. I'll figure it out.
Wow. Another fish tank case. How original.
Sorry noob here fTPM, should I press Y or do something else?
We need a case that can accommodate push/pull AIO with a thick radiator like Arctic Liquid Freezer iii and have enough room for fans to cool the gpu and everything else inside the chassis.
The kediers C690 is the same case with rgb fans for have the price
I donโt understand how this case doesnโt support a vertical mount gpu when cheaper/older Corsair cases do
These looks the same like 200 other manufacturers
Yuk, the new beige.
260 for a case is crazy
๐๐ I like it, I have a couple of corsiar cases here, its a good thing it doesn't come with Corsair Fans, because their fans are expensive plus it uses a proprietary hub. But if u like corsair fans I guess u can always buy them separetly. The only thing I find ODD is that there is no case manufacturer that wants to clone the 011 EVO, the evo is very special and unique because its the only fish tank case that u can invert the case upside down, that way u can still see ur motherboard and argb fans if u place the case on the left hand side of the table, which is how i have my pc setup.
another lian li copy, how exciting..
all these cases look the same tbh
The case wouldnโt be so heavy if you looked like circa 1987 Hulk Hogan! Problem solved. Roidsโฆ.
Lots of protein and hit the gym kid
For the black cable conflicting with the white components on the new Corsair iCUE link system which uses the same removeable cables for fans AND the CPU cooler and custom cooling components if you have those you can get white cables for them too and maybe you could potentially get other colours too at some point in the future since the cables are removable
Beautiful build. That case does look pretty cool, nice work!
Nice case, just put the lian lee infinity fans in and LCD AIO. Gets rid of so many cables and looks better. And vertical mount that GPU.
Any issue with yellowing on white components?
Horrible case that. I have the 7000x case it's brilliant.
Before the release of the O-11 Dynamic The Corsair Air 540 was my FAVOURITE dual chamber case which I really wanted but never got because when I built my first PC in 2016/17 tempered glass cases started becoming normal so never got it because I had scratched acrylic before and didn't want a plastic window (BTW I do know they had an Air 740 I think it was called but it was lacking features the 540 had and the only benefit was the easily detachable side panels because they were doors which I couldn't care less for) and when Corsair had the Crustal 680x which was their first tempered glass dual chamber case it was TERRIBLE. I owned the Crystal 570x Special Edition Mirrored Tempered Glass and the actual case sucked ass besides the cool look of the mirrored effect on the tempered glass which was why I bought it (I now use the original O-11 Dynamic BUT a PCMR collab which also has mirrored tempered glass panels). The reason the 570x sucked ass was because it was probably the first custom case I had come across marketed as a mid tower as expensive as it was that could not house a 360 in the top and it also had 4 hex screws for each glass panel which made it hard to take apart. The Crystal 680x dual chamber case on the other hand was just the SAME case but dual chamber. They literally just slightly chopped off the height at the bottom where the PSU would normally go and then make a whole second chamber in the back so it still had the main problem I hated about the 570x which was lack of radiator size support.
My current case the O-11 Dymic PCMR Mirrored Tempered Glass edition still has problems which thankfully Lian Li HAS fixed with the Evo edition cases which was the terrible dust filter on the bottom which was just a cheap flimsy flexible pastic mesh with thin magnetic strips along the edges which hardly sticks on to the case as there is no way to hold it besides the magnet and due to its flimsiness the thing falls off. The newer ones have a sliding thicker mesh filter (the filter is similar only that it now has a plastic frame which slides in). I am still after a case with Mirrored Tempered Glass if I can find any and I think the new Lian Li O-11 Vison case in black has it BUT I want to mount a radiator in the top which I cannot do with that case since it has a top glass panel with no gaps.
I am starting to think I may as well give up on Mirrored Tempered Glass because although it looks REALLY REALLY cool when you see nothing inside the case besides each individual light source because of the mirror companies are not really doing it and when they do they always do it on a case I am not a fan of. If any company such as Lian Li or Corsair made a dual chamber case with TOP AND BOTTOM fan mounts as well as motherboard side mount and offered a Mirrored Glass variant that will be my next case as long as the bottom dust filter isn't flimsy and it has 360 support for bottom/top AND 360 on the side too
This also looks to support motherboards with the connectors on the back of the board.
at the price, at least give a psu cable cover or better ways to able manage, hell put in some none rgb pwm fans. Feels like they're trying to sell their name and not the product, compated to the market, that case is buns.
i hate how tempered the black models are from corsair. takes away the look of all the nice parts you got.
I came for the screws
