Today we're "reviewing" the GameMAX "Hype," which DEFINITELY ISN'T inspired by a Hyte Y60. The Hype case is anywhere from $100 to $200, depending on where and when you look, and has poorly copied nearly every aspect of the Hyte Y60. We haven't seen a ripoff this egregious previously, and that's because even the product page has literal copied & pasted text from real Hyte's product pages. This is part of our new case testing methodology that we debuted for 2024. You can learn some basics in our Fractal North XL review below.
We previously reviewed & benchmarked the Hyte Y60 here: • Impressive Quality: Hy... -- comparatively, it seems as if the Hype is a step beyond a Hyte clone.

@GamersNexus What is the cpu and gpu used on the new methodologhy?
They should make a full fans case box.
I really like that you made this video, even if it isn't the most entertaining because of the subject matter. Gamemax is a chinese brand known for doing exactly this. When I built my computer back after Covid started in 2020 I wanted to get the InWin 805 Infinity. But there was two reasons I didn't like it. It's a Mid tower and I wanted a mATX case, just because computers are getting smaller, and I wanted a smaller computer. I also liked the idea of a case with the hinge on the glass side panel so I can open it and work on it and close it easily. So with those in mind, Amazon recommended my GameMax's Mini Abyss. I didn't know it was a ripoff at the time, and it's build pretty well compaired to some of the other cases I'd gotten in this price range.
On their website there is a few lies and false marketing. I don't know if this stuff was just lost in translation, or if it's because something changed. But regardless, the mirror effect they have in the front uses a micro JST connect, 3 pin. So basically it's just as bad or worse than the GPU fan connectors that like to have the wires broke because people don't push them out correctly. But the front panel one in wedged in a spot you can only ever pull on the wire to remove it.
Thank you if you've read through this far. And thank you GN for making this video and exposing Gamemax. Maybe it will change our market here in the west a little. But with how china dominant it has become, I am doubtful. But at least all of us now know about the brand and to stay away from them unless you like piracy. Then be our guest.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136tell that to Beve Sturke over at GamersLexus 😛
Man, really expected more from a brand who's been making cases for 10, 15, 10, 15, 10, 10 years now
They should have just said 200 years of collective experience.
Must’ve been Jacob Zuma who typed the marketing blurb😂
Yes. They've been making cases for a total of 70 years now, which I believe is more than twice the amount of years modern PCs have existed.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino Gamemax must be truly ahead of the curve, and I don’t know about you, but that makes me HYPE.
A worthy cautionary tale. I hoped at least to get some good meming from the marketing blurb, but I guess the "10, 15, 10" etc is the best we're gonna get. Oh well. Be gammer, everyone!
They’re 100% banking on people mistaking this one for the original, thank you for getting the word out.
That is definitely the goal. The Amazon listing is definitely fishing for people who are less informed buying the wrong thing -- like those buying a gift, for example.
@@GamersNexus no, they're banking on making a cool looking copy of a product for cheaper, no matter the details like perfect dust covers etc imo

I've been following you for 15 years and this video is probably one of the funniest I've seen in the entire 10 years I've been watching you.
"it frequently fails to respond to the remote for... mysterious reasons.

Not gonna lie, naming something "Diamond COC" is an absolute power move
I want to buy it cause it's funny
They also have one named Turbo COC x)
But they might have changed it to Contac COC since.
A DIAMOND WHAT??

Niiiiice COC!
"Be ready, be gammer"
This is gonna be good.
Gamming so hard they forgot about grammar.
Gammer > grammar, have never seen correct punctuation do a 360 quickscope
Gamzzz
I read an article on why many of these misspellings from Chinese copycats are actually on purpose.
The idea behind them being that they’ll be ridiculed and then looked over by people who’d actually try to pursue legal action.
Gammer is the name of a Happy Hardcore DJ. So I presume that when you buy their case, you become... A DJ? 🤔

That's wild. I never expected to see full-on fakes after how much backlash Thermaltake (aka Thermaltake your design) got when they made all those ripoff designs years ago. The only counterfeit cases I had ever heard of previously was the ooooold lian li knockoff.
I legit just purchased a Hyte Y70, and my heart was in my throat when I saw the thumbnail. Luckily, I'm not a gammer, and I got the right case.
I love my Y70 case, and it is built nicely
@@RentedLipzI love you 💝💝💝💝😘😘😘💝
Can confirm, the Y70 is an awesome case. Saw it at pax a few years back and instantly fell for the aesthetics
“Created for those for dare to win” sounds less like a slogan and more like a passive aggressive threat.

It sounds like something that Asus, MSI, Razer etc would say
If you feel threatened by that, you do not have a Diamond COC
Oh I love my Diamond Cooling and OverClocking Kase. It came in black and it's HUGE. Lots of room for extra components and cooling.
Reminds me of the episode of Reno 911, when the author of a novel is pleading with the Fire and Sheriff's dept. to save his in-progress work that was clearly plagiarized and they wouldn't do it. In fact, after the Sheriffs asked him to give them a quick synopsis of the story and had concluded that it was too similar to the film, "Frequency," the Fire dept. shows up and he turns to them, pleading. The Sheriffs interject and says, "...just listen his plot," to which the Fire dept. Concludes, "Oh, it's like the film, Frequency!" And ultimately also decide against rescuing his work lol.
They somehow made a COC as hard as diamond. That’s impressive.

I just have to say whatever shutter speed you're using to video those fans on the Arctic cooler especially and even the other fans during the video is basically perfecto. It makes those fans look incredibly smooth and for some reason at least to me really really relaxing I could just literally sit and watch those fans spin it looks so nice and so smooth great choice could just be happenstance but seriously it it looks amazing they look so nice when they spin

So pleased to see case reviews starting again it's been far too long! Thanks for this
One of the most entertaining, yet also informative, videos I have watched recently. Thanks for the review!
2:36 "They say it's patented". It *is* a patented design... it's just that the patent isn't held by GameMAX! 🤣
I do wonder what exactly is patented. It's a case. I imagine a rather nice case, never had one myself, but where is the patented innovation?
@@vylbird8014 Design, features etc ...
But, did they say that it’s patented by themselves?
hahahaha, fair!
@@GamersNexus The failed writer in me that actually went on to a real job needed "It's patented" to be followed by "They didn't say by who[m]."
Chinese patent office is right next to the paper shredder factory.
I actually have a typhoon gamemax case.... It's not bad. They definitely cheap out with the 3.5 HD bay using one where the 2 HD bay I have is literally a single bay while the second HD sits on the top of the bay while the screws hold the drive by screwing through the bay into the holes on the bottom of the 3.5 HD. I can't comment on their other cases, but it's pretty nice. The one time breakaway PCIe stuff is annoying as I broke away one that I wasn't supposed to, but I just bought some extra PCIe mesh covers to cover the hole I had. Another gripe is the LCD strip on the front has a built in controller and has no way to plug into an ARGB plug to be controlled by the motherboard, but it is what it is. The fans included are also 3 pin fans so they're not great, but they work. I do think the COC motherboard fan is a bit of a gimmick, but I don't overclock so I can't really say for sure. Again it's not in any way the best case, but it works pretty well for a budget case that I got for like 50$-60$
Edit: I'm curious if the one I have is a ripoff of another well known case... I'm not really familiar with cases. If it's not I'd be interested in seeing what y'all thought about it. Again I wouldn't call it a first choice case, but I think for a budget case it's good enough and actually has functioned pretty well for me.
I'll also add one other gripe I have is a lack of mesh screens on the front, which I bought some magnetic fan covers that fit over it well enough, but it would've been much nicer if it actually came with a proper filter cover to prevent dust from getting in easily as the holes in the front are definitely big enough for dust to get through.
Edit 2: One other thing to add... The audio ports on the front are definitely low quality... I noticed crackling noises when I used them initially so I just use the one in the back for the most part.
Thank you for this sneak preview of the Disappointment Build’s case!
"COC" stands for "Case Obviously Copied"!
Thank you for correcting Steve. He really needs to look up the definition of "literal" and/or "theft."
Here in Portugal we have a distributor that buys crap from gamemax in bulk and resells it to all major retailers. We've seen their stuff under other names also. It's impressive because I've had the massive pleasure to build computers with their cases and coolers. Yes: They all suck, but people buy whatever is cheap and flashy nowadays. It's the distributors fault to invest a single dollar on these chinesium companies and spread their crap around the world. Even worse is that we are forced to assemble prebuilt machines with these cases because there are contracts with the distributors... Please go after these and other guys that do this shady job. You have good journalism skills, you can easily expose these companies.
But this case isn’t very cheap. You can get a cheap case here in the US that has decent thermals for $60-$80
were I'm from Gamemax has absolutely flooded the $20-$40 price range (VAT included!), and they even stretch up to the $70 range. Nowadays all good cases are $70 and up.
I have the Gamemax Draco XD (that's the name). I got it when i built my first PC, the main reasons being:
- I didn't have a job in 2020.
- It was cheaper, since cases and any pc parts in the southest part of latin america (where i live obv), were more expensive due to the pandemic, and adding that the prices were (and are) very high because of transport and customs fees.
For a lot of context, i built my pc with a 9th gen i5, 16 GB of RAM, and a Gigabyte MoBo for ~$200-$250 at the beginning of the pandemic.
Let's say any good brand of cases:
It costed about 3-4 times as much as this case(~$30), while i had very very very limited budget (was 17 and very lazy).
The case is not great, but it did a good job for my first system.
Now I will have to update to a well-known, well-trusted brand now that i have a more "air" hungry system.
thx for reading my essay
Thanks for this video! I have a friend who is actively looking for cases (we are doing a slow ship of Theseus build off a pc I lent him, to let him build as he can afford each part) so its good to hear about this.
I figured a cheap copycat could be okay, but this is valuable intel.
Hey man you gotta pair the balls of steel with the Diamond COC. Gotta give it to ‘em. It’s as gammer as it gets. Also fun fact, they also sell a “Turbo COC.”
Clearly we need a full COC build tested!
Please Make it BLUE
It's Chinese COC though so it's really tiny and unattractive.
Do they sell a Big and Little version.
I hope we get to see the full coc lineup
A Chinese company NOT respecting copyrights...Color me Shocked! Shocked I tell you!
They certainly didn't deserve the manhours Steve + team took to highlight them on their channel. Even bad publicity is "good" publicity for companies like these...
Not sure about US law, but in Aus this is known as known as “passing off” and is illegal even without copyright violations.
You need to ask an expert on Chinese copyright and patents Ivanka Trump 😂 and orange Jesus.
Yeah, this is pretty much what I was going to comment 😂. Needless to say, I'm shocked too.
@@emilyshabangI was avoiding the news, as usual on the weekends. I didn't realize those afflicted with the TDS frequent the PC gaming channels as well. Don't worry... I predict that within the next decade, TDS will be listed in the DSM so that psychotherapist can recognize it and provide proper treatment. Once news media no longer has a reason to cover Trump in their daily reporting, those that suffer from the TDS will feel an overwhelming emptiness in their hearts and minds. My hunch is that it will be described similarly to Stockholm syndrome and battered wife syndrome and be treated with a similar treatment plan.
I snatched a gamdias aura gc2 elite case for 37 euros. The case is perfectly designed for airflow, and the only thing to note is that the fans are rubbish. But that is easily fixable, since the arctic P12 5x pack is around 32 euros. For the price of 69 euros I got myself a damn nice case with best quality fans on the market. That is a killer combo, a copy done right imo.
Yeah, honestly have built in many Gamdias cases. They either take popular designs to improve on it, or take popular designs and move it into a more affordable price range.
case is the best thing to save money on, no reason to buy overly expensive branded cases, although too cheap is a little sus@@thanenottroll6031

Enjoyed this review. Technical and funny, subscribed.
I've had a Y60 for a good 6 months now and was scared for a minute when I saw the thumbnail. Glad to know I have the correct one.
As somone from a (China adjacent) country, I'll throw my two cents into the mix for some consideration.
Proper channel imports aren't really a thing here. Sure you'll find a limited selection of hardware funneled through legit "big" name brands that operate locally, but the selection is quite meek to say the least.
Stuff like Hyte, Fractal, etc. isn't something you'll find all to easily down here..and though a lot of stuff does end up on the shelves via questionable import practices, non-mainstream items don't make the cut cus the buyers would be few and far in-between.
This is where these cases come into play. A larger chunk of potential buyers are actually just looking for the that-trendy-aesthetic they see making the rounds on tech channels, and that alone is often, surprisingly good enough.
Needless to say, being China-adjascent means that items from there are presumably subject to more favorable import regulations, not to mention the shipping costs are drastically lesser than the haul to markets elsewhere.
Just like that these items land down here, subsidized to an extent..with favorable odds of being sold once you combine it with the dearth of other more viable purchase options for the avg buyer.
Yes i know this is a wall of text, I'm sorry. I'll leave you with an example as the outro;
The world : has that Jonsbo lcd screen mAtx.
We : have the spitting image copycat alternative that goes by the name BOOST T-REX.
Maybe imports will get easier and cheaper with time, and in general freerer. i believe in it
Yeah, we in the West sometimes have a hard time understanding who these clones are even for. They are made to serve markets that the name brands have no presence in, Pakistan being a very obvious example. They love both PC and console gaming in Pakistan, but nobody is going to be repping name brand stuff, unless they buy stuff in Saudi Arabia when they go on Hajj.
Sounds like the situation here in the PH .
Never happens here in the PH unfortunately .@@vmthelegend5140
@@matrix3509 ....or any travel destination really. I'd say Dubai would be a better example here. But sadly, its still a bit of a toss-up in quite a few regions in the world still - as in, you're never sure whether you will or won't be subject to customs intervention for hauling over a single; clearly intended for personal use item. At times, with some stories I've heard from peers elsewhere, you might not even get to contest incurring duties or taxes, and instead face having the items (I mean consumer electronics here) be outrightly "seized" - Yikes.
Sigh. But like the other commenter said,
there's always hope yet. Perhaps someday it won't be this convoluted anywhere. Looking forward to that hypothetical since always, and shall be continuing to do so.

Thermaltake: "We are the kings of stealing other companies case designs."

At least when TT copies a case, they make attempts at improving things in some way, if not just making it way cheaper than the original.
Diamond hands are obsolete, embrace the DIAMOND COC
I think you'd need diamond hands to hold it without scratching yourself
You gonna need the diamond hands for the diamond coc. Think about it.
Who needs diamond hands when you can't find the sell button
Please review the Gamdias NESO P1, it's such a great case with amazing attention to detail.
I do with you would review more DIYPC cases. I highly suggest the DIYPC Q3 ARGB. It's extremely cheap and isn't just an O11 Dynamic ripoff. It is mATX (so much smaller), comes with 3 RGB fans, still supports ATX PSUs in the rear, comes with genuine tempered glass, and all of that for $50. It even comes in some fun colors like pink and teal (which I also absolutely adore).
When I saw the bit about the extra-cost vertical GPU mounts NOT ACTUALLY BEING COMPATIBLE, I wanted to clap my hands politely. Their commitment to.. "lackadaisaudacity" (I just made up that word - someone stop me if I try doing that again) was truly, truly, impressive.
We're not stopping you because as a writer, you give us more words to steal and pass off as our own
(Lol I'm just kidding- no seriousness here)
I'm interested in seeing if you can even find a horizontal case to review. Horizontal cases mostly went out in the mid-90s, but the increasing weight of GPUs could be an opportunity for a comeback.
So the one thing I could say for the removeable base is could you use that for running cables or tubes(for water cooling not sure i would want to though in that case), though the danger of breaking/cutting a cooling line could be an issue the water/cooling would leak into the false bottom area compared to the interior case area. Like I could see even having a false top that you could run cables thru an drop down to where they need to be. This could help to keep the case interior less cluttered an help airflow maybe keeping the cabling/tubing to a minimum in the visible interior. Not saying the case is good, but looking at it maybe there is some useful ideas even if accidental in there that could be used.
I never fully realized just how important crisp and sharp sheet metal bends were to making a case look premium, but wow GameMAX really shows how important they are. The Hype looks a little... swollen? Just a little "squishy" compared to the Hyte.
I was expecting the cut to Patrick to him saying 'It sucks. Back to you, Steve'.
Surprisingly enough gamemax build mostly decent PSUs, I'm Brazilian and there's a "large" YT channel here in Brazil that where once owned by store owners and they always defended gamemax PSUs, I have always been very skeptical especially since they didn't own any PSU testing equipment they were just claiming they don't have many RMAs for gamemax PSUs, Now they closed the store but still upload regularly to the YT channel, still defending gamemax. But what actually got me to be "okay then they're actually decent" was another brazillian channel that actually does have PSU testing equipment and they recently launched a quality seal program, and they tested the PSUs and they actualyl came out as decent, not the best but decent, and I was sincerely amazed that it was the case.

If you dont have a COC case are you really a Gammer?
I'm sorry but I cannot unsee those cases looking like fish tanks. XD
It’s just like purchasing a knockoff purse. Quality is not to par but from a distance it looks legit. People will continue to buy knockoffs if it’s a lot cheaper. Knockoff cases may sound louder or perform worse, but an average pc user probably wouldn’t notice. They don’t usually have another pc to compare noise level or performance.
It's still impressive how close they copied it while somehow making the case bad.
Halfway through this video. You convinced me to return an 850w "80+ Gold" power supply from Game Max. It's in it's packaging (never used) and ready to be sent back.
Even though I have a case from them I'd never trust a power supply from them... They're in the worst tier on the PSU tier list.
@@damegataco I dodged a bullet then. I just installed a cooler master instead.
@@TheAirstation86 definitely... Honestly it might not actually be a horrible PSU, but the fact it's rated so low and they're probably lying about the 80+ rating certification it's best to avoid them entirely for anything besides the cases while anything beyond the most basic style case (like the one I got) should be avoided as well.
@@damegataco Goes to show that first impressions are everything.
It's originally intended to be standing (or laying rather) with the glass panels facing up. However it's up to the user to figure out the correct vent pattern. Also this case perfectly fits into the "air conditioner window socket" of the older american houses.
I got one of their mice ages ago as a cheap "until pay day" replacement. It's shaped just like the ancient Microsoft Habu(which I actually loved. It was like Microsoft Inteli point had a dirty weekend with a Razor) and less than £10 off amazon. It weighs a ton, left and right click are squishy as all hell and somehow in completely different ways, only one of the side buttons worked out the box and the "turbo" button jams...and I didn't even get to the sensor and why it weighs so much and that's not down to decent plastics being used to make it 😂
On a positive side it did hold out until payday and sits in a cupboard as an emergency backup so I don't waste another tenner next time 🤦
Forgot to change the chart titles from the Fracal North XL but I can't really blame you guys for not putting much effort into this.
Same dataset, same title! But that should probably be clearer. Thanks! I'll add something like "Dataset" to the titling next time.

gammers
That was great
Ba dum tssss!!!
i got one of their rgb psu's a year ago. they are really good. 850 watts 80+ gold rated (if that matters). and it only cost me 50 quid
i may have missed part of the video that says what i have but i think the reason they do this is to try and profit off of people who cannot afford the on brand equipment but still want it. when i was hunting for a case i was going to go for the gamemax vista before the nzxt h6 flow went on sale. their cases (well at least the hype) dont seem to be of the highest quality but i can attest to their psus being amazing. i bought the rgb 850 for 40 quid and only had 2 problems that were entirely my fault (exploded twice. static does indeed exist, dont build computers on your beds please)
where i live the hyte y70 is MUCH more expensive and the hype is much less expensive so my view onm this case is slightly warped
I'd be curious to see you review Gamdias products. I have a Mars M2 which I really like, despite shortcomings. It was one of the few cases with both a front-panel USB-C and a top-mounted power switch at the time, and after rebate it came out to about $50 Canadian. After a couple of years it finally has some additional competition (The ASUS Prime-AP201 would have been a much better choice for me had it been available at the time), but it was a decent little performer that I wish they iterated upon with a ventilated front panel, rather than the wierd redesign they did with the E3.
Another great video of Gammer Nexus!
Well this explains my GAMEMAX Master M905. Newegg listing was false.
1: claimed glass side panel, I got plastic
2: misaligned holes for my 280mm radiator. Had to drill my own
3: LED fans that wouldn’t light up
Among other quality/newegg listing issues that I currently don’t recall or can’t verify. Such as my extreme doubt for 360mm radiator support, which the Newegg listing claimed.
If they had taken that case form factor, and rather offered mounting for multiple uATX, they could have achieved "an original" _use_ (if not look).EG I have a standard 5700G CPU cooler on a B550M (iths low profile for a desktop), and a Corsair 750W PSU with 4x 4pin mother board connectors (along with 7 SATA power connectors) that would allow me to plug in 2 other RPi CM4 motherboards in the same physical space - note that I did figure out how to mount and power those 2 CM4 uATX m/b is a single SFF INNO case (one is mounted upside down on the _airflow holes_ side / top cover).
I have this case... It is marketed as "Dragos North" in Turkey. I got it for 100$ and it came with a single exhaust fan. After adding 5 arttic p12s and one id cooling fan it ended up costing around 140$. I must say for that price I ended up with a case that looks very good and is quiet too. With that many fans I don't need to run them at high rpms and my pc never even gets close to thermal throttling, stress testing included. Granted I am not running the most power hungry components but with a 6800xt and an overclocked 5700x it's not a low end pc by no means. Full size pci-e slots are actually very good because I can mount the gpu horizontally and feed it fresh air with 3 bottom intake fans.
Now, I am not very experienced with this stuff so I might be missing something but, I don't at all understand why you were so negative about the ventilation of this case. What's wrong with magnetically attached mesh dust filters? I thought they were just the ideal type and, the one that is "impossible to fit properly" fits just fine if you move it a bit. Ventilation on the side panel also seems very good, just a no nonsense single layer of metal mesh.
Everything else you complained about the case also seems just fine to me. It has captive screws where it needs them the most, has a lot of room to stuff the cables in where they are not visible therefore it is much easier to build in compare to all the other cases I've worked with, the standoffs for the glass panels are not the most elegant but they, again, are just fine. The front io isn't the best but one less usb port has never killed anyone in the last 100 years. The warp in the top cover is dissappointing but unnoticable when installed. The gap between glass panels could easily be smaller but still looks intentional the way it is and doesn't look bad. The same goes for the "misaligned metal". In fact, where even are they? Yes the top and bottom covers are smaller than the footprint of the case but it looks almost entirely intentional and is done in a uniform way. Can you really call that misaligned or is it just a design element that you chose to dislike?
I think you ended up feeling very negatively about the case because of the high price and shady marketing. In the end I don't at all agree that this would be a bad case for 80$-100$. Add 35 dollars to that price for a 5 set of arttic p12 fans and you got yourself a very uniquely beautiful looking case for way under the price of hyte y60, all the while performing well enough for most people. Isn't that what you have praised about hyte y60? I just don't understand how this case can be so bad for 80-100 dollars while y60 is the best case of the year for 200$.
Again, my case+fans cost me 140 dollars and it probably performs better than most aircooled y60 setups while having an extremely similar look. A saving of 60 dollars is very significant. In fact, 70 dollars was the price difference between a 5600 and 5700x when I got my cpu.
"You're being very negative about the case because shady marketing and the price..." Yes... Exactly. Those and the lack of attention to detail ARE why it deserves the roasting. What's unclear here?
@@doublevendetta I care less about the company getting the roasting it deserves and more about getting accurate information related to the product. Roast the company all you want but don't misrepresent the product itself, that's just bad education and misleading information. For example, many people around the world have access to this product at lower prices and through companies that do much more honest marketing. Why not let them see the product for what it is?
@@aliberkozderya3112 but it's not misrepresentation? THAT'S my point
@@doublevendetta I have already made my case as to why I think the product was misrepresented, especially to the point where it's not even supposed to be worth 80$.
I enjoy talking, but I don't enjoy repeating myself. Please kindly refer to my original comment and have a good day.
@@aliberkozderya3112 Your case is flagrantly full of holes. Namely, that you can get twice the quality for the same or marginally more money. You're repeating yourself because I told you your conclusion is incorrect and you don't like it.
I've bought bargain bin $60 cases with less problems than this box of scrap heap engineering and design theft.
OMG Vitalii has a voice? What is this sorcery?!?!
I thought Jay was the only person with a vocal camera dude? Mind Blown.
These are everywhere in Brazil. They sell everything from peripherals to PSUs - which I wouldn't trust to power a lamp.
Always on the first page of Kabum! when you look for power suplies or cases.
Yes. Australia as well where nominal PSU's are 850 Watt per sticker on them but in reality they deliver only 550 Watts. Over here surrounding Brazil they discontinued the Gamemax brand due to quality issues.
Aren't those the original detonating PSUs?
I've been seeing their cases and power supplies on PCPP for ages and never once clicked on one, glad I got a Xigmatek Scorpio when I needed a cheal case.
Xigmatek has the same exact case as this one FYI
Could you test/review the montech air 100 lite/argb which is a Micro ATX Case. I like when you go into depth with the review and show the "numbers".

I got the gamdias NESO P1 because it was the only one that could house a RTX 3090Ti on my budget and you can open the front of the case with a button. 😅
Honestly unique, would love them to review it lol
Now I really want for Steve to review a Diamond COC. Just to hear him work around the name.
Everytime I see charts like this I smile. Building in the fractal torrent was the most fun I ever had building a PC. Maybe I will get one for myself aswell. One day.
"... be gammer."
Are they wishing me to become radioactive?
The world wasn't ready for the Diamond COC
I'll stick with the Cooler Master cases for now, the H500 and similar. Those are nice cases and easy enough to build in. I don't need the very best, I just need for a dual tower to fit inside along with a big GPU.
holy cow, I usually use prebuilds at the moment, never knew cases got that big.
Thank you, Gammer Nexus, for the solid review!
😂
ah yes, thanks GN for the long awaited Shyte Y69 review
@gamersnexus Hi, I wonder if you could review Armaggeddon Tessaraxx Corevision MATX PC case. This has an 8 inch screen that can mount on the front panel or the side panel.
Anyway, great to see you review PC case again. Hope to hear more reviews on not just standard case, but quirky or bizarre case as well, like the mini PC case with front panel shape like a cat's face. I wonder if it is still around.
I listened to an interesting podcast about these factories that specialises in counterfitting and fast fashion. The main company mentioned was shein. With their algorithms and trend analysis they can in an extremely short space of time mobilise factories to produce fakes or close to original products at scale. It is insane. So the effort put into more complex products is no surprise, as long as the baseline amount of people buy them. Unfortunately I can't remember if it was freakonomics or some other investigative podcast like like that.......
'Be Ready' Ya be ready for a lawsuit.
Lawyer: So how is it different?
Game Max: We changed a letter and made it worse.
Can't sue a business in China, nor will they enforce a cease and desist order or pay a judgment. And if you sue them in the manufacturers home country, they just don't show up.
@@jilbertbYou could file suit, there's just no point because China's copyright enforcement is extremely protectionist.
@@jilbertbYou can stop them from selling their products in your country though.
@@BM-wf9uf they are selling it through third party sellers on Aliexpress. It'll be hard to stop them.
@@BM-wf9ufnope, they will find a loophole and sent or have a third party hold the product. There no point they are that scummy, the only thing you can do is publicly shame them. But how can you shame someone that have no backbone
Between Jayz's Overcock, and Steve's Diamond Coc, Tech is going into a direction I did not foresee.
Plagiarists have penetrated the market.
Don't forget Intel's Cock Speed.
I've actually contemplated getting that Hyte Y60 for some time now. Problem is my old Lian-Li PC 6b Plus II is still in perfect condition.
Gamemax Aero Mini Black. I bought 2 of these for my kids builds. Been working really well for the price lol.
My comment keeps getting shadow deleted for some reason. I bought one of their PSU's (RGB-850 Pro). It came with a card saying to email your thoughts to them to get a free RGB mouse pad. Then they reply with the real deal. They will send the RGB mouse pad if after you post a 5 star Amazon review with at least one pic in your review. And reply to them with a screenshot of the review posted... Gee wonder why it has a 4.5 rating on Amazon with over 7k reviews and so many have photos. The PSU was awful. As soon I upgraded from my RTX 1080, to my 3080 it would blast the fan max when I launched any half way demanding game within ~10 seconds. Had random display driver crashes etc. Tried to use the "24 month full refund" warranty. They first required me to record a video and post it on YT and send the link. Then wanted me to pay shipping etc. So I said f it and accepted the risk I took buying this brand. Bought a Super Flower Leadex V Gold Pro 850W. All those problems went away, and it's whisper quiet. Including after recently upgrading from a 8700K to 7800X3D.
Same thing keeps happening to me as well.
Deleted without rhyme or reason , that's youtube .
In Australia and NZ an constant problem as well with Gamemax PSU's. Your PSU is for sure not more than 500 Watt although it says 850 Watt.
@@9mmfederalrimmed235I threw the gamemax one away after I got the super flower leaded V gold pro
Same thing happened to me on multiple channels. It's really weird.
I swear that case is quite literally the "Mom can get thing meme, No we have thing at home"
Can you test the Jonsbo TK-1 V2 Micro ATX case? I've been trying to downsize my computer without losing out on the 4 ram slots. I have 128gb ram as I use a lot of CAD programs and I tend to ramdisk them or better throughput. I've been looking at this case for a while, but I've never seen a person review it. I've seen a few ASMR builds, but again they don't go into thermals, what's compatible and what isn't, etc. I've read the reviews, but I'd like to see your new testing methodology try it out. I've considered a lot of the cases in the smaller end that you tend to review, but I like the look of this case.
I almost spit my coffee. What a showcase!
"This whole thing is just going to be an extended piss take" I'm so here for this, not that I don't also enjoy the usual informative content
I love the cut away starting @7:44 when you said "And I don't know what that means... BUT If that's supposed to be math" 🤣👍🔥
1. Some of their workers had 10 years of experience while others 15.
2. They say that Usb 3.0 is supposed to be 5 Gbps but their implementation equals to 0.5 Gbps thus they have it 20 times faster with Usb Type-C.
So as you can see it all makes sense, you just have to think different.
ROFL your faced @7:56-57, priceless! Snip that for insert, maybe with a drip sound, lol!
The Diamond COC: for only the hardest gamers. Provide stiff competition in your gaming sessions. Rigid steel construction for a no-sag experience. Fight gravity itself. Ok im done lol.
I can't remember ever seeing you have SO much fun in a product "review." I love your presentation. I'm only 10 minutes into the video at this point, and I sure am hoping that there will be a side or front impact test coming.
This product may have been released as a form of corporate self immolation.
GREAT REVIEW.
@GamersNexus Ok, here is something funny about the comparisons at the start. At least in my knowledge, good amount of the similarities you point out with big brands (not specifically ones in the video, saying this in general) are actually the other way around. I've seen a lot of case designs with small brands only to see the same design branded with Corsair, Thermaltake and some other big ones I can't specifically remember right now, later on. It's been a while since I was last roaming around web to see interesting case designs on sale. This video was an informal and a fun one. But if you are interested in researching it further, I'd recommend to check out smaller brands or initiatives (sometimes even kickstarter campaigns) and their designs.
wow. when i saw the thumbnail i genuinely thought this video was going to be about the real hyte case, which scared me because ive been planning a whole PC build around that case. them copying even the name is insane 😭
So they're stealing cases made by someone else, not just copying them? Because that's what *"literal theft"* would mean. And the cases would probably be better quality.
Came here to say the same.
