    ThermalTake created what is an actual display case. It doesn’t seem enough to just put pc parts in it. Maybe it needs a plant like an ivy? You know , to carbon offset your GTX GPU? Or maybe a six pack of hmmm cider or a nice lager,

NZXT with the H7 Elite should have said Hay this is our new Corsair case..no innovation nothing new...but this Thermaltake is sweet that front panel is crazy and the fan placement threw out should provide good airflow I give this one a thumbs up.

  • @O8WRx

    I just built mine. It is REALLY nice to build in bc almost all panels come off making access very easy. You can configure this several different ways. It is especially nice for those of you who like unicorn puke like me. I did black case, white fans, white AIO, and RGB cable extenders. It is very clean. Obviously it takes up a decent amount of space, but you should know that already looking into this thing for 10seconds.

    Really nice case but the screen seems a little gimmicky. They could've made the border the same colour as the case so it doesn't look like it has huge bezels. Glad it's optional and keen to keep an out out for future iterations.

    • @SherrifOfNottingham
      @SherrifOfNottingham Před 2 lety

      I mean for airflow with this specific case I would have the fans vent towards the center of the case so the top exhaust fans would pull the air out, if they are venting away from the center they're actually creating a "vacuum" between the top and rad fans which is then blowing the hot air towards the glass that will diffuse throughout the case warming up the ambient temperature.
      The tower series is meant to be a water cooled system, however I was under the impression that the mounting spot they used was for the reservoir not a radiator.

      Blower types excel when mounted this way, however "downforce" coolers like on most GPU's actually only care about what is on the "intake" side of the card, in which case the orientation of the card (top, typical or vertical) has very little to do with how well it is cooled, it has more to do with where it sucks it's supply from.
