As always, thanks for watching!!! - Věda a technologie
The two fans on the back panel are reverse flow fans. By turning them around you are making them exhaust fans and they look worse. Nice looking case. Thanks for showing all the mobo sizes in it. That really helps to make a decision prior to buying.
Hi itsallaboutprotein, thanks for the feedback, you are correct on those back panel fans for sure, they are reversed and didn't look too great! I am finding on some of these cases, the Micro-ATX Boards look better in my opinion, but it definitely is good to have a reference, I will keep doing that on future videos. Thanks for your support!!
@@HardwareArtisanno, those two are reverse blades. They were intake. You made them exhaust
Thank you for this review. Recently purchased this case. It looks really sharp!
case looks great! thank you for the review : )
Fantastic review! Frankly I should've watched this before I had the case delivered but I was doubting my first impression.
I went a little overboard with my build relative to my budget so I decided to tone it down for the case.
Pulled this thing out of the box and first impressions tell me I definitely got my moneys worth. Thanks for the review!
Thanks lanes-world, Yea, i've been there and done that, doubting my first impressions. But, it is my opinion this is decent case, I like the look of it. Not everybody will share that opinion of course, which is ok too!
Game on! Have fun and it sounds like an awesome build you got going on!
Thanks for your support...and for watching!!
Excellent case review short and straight to the point, with everything you need to know about this case. Nice camera shots of it to. 😎
Thanks english4322, I am happy you found the video helpful, that makes it worth it! Thanks for your support and for watching!!!
Great video!!
Does the case support vertical GPU mounting, if so does it support all mounting kits or only special ones?
I thought I was missing something, turns out the accessories are actually inside the case behind the back panel.
want to like this case, but not a fan of the front i/o location and the cluster of cables blocking airflow from the side fans. No built in ARGB lighting control either. I guess compromises are expected vs something like the o11 air mini, king 95, or 2500X etc
What hard drive did u use?
Can you mount a 280 aio on the side? If not will it fit a 280 if you make your own holes? Thanks
Does the top flex when front glass is removed ??
Thanks for this video, greatly appreciate it and very informative!
I did purchase this case before seeing this video, and I am still glad I did. My intentions were the NZXT H9 Flow, but Amazon delayed my package by over 5 days plus 3 days already and I did not not want to wait any longer lol. It's my first build and I am switching from Mac to PC, I have been using mac's for over 18 years.
However, I am having an issue, the bottom and side fans will not turn on - they are the stock fans and I am not sure what I am doing wrong :( Any recommendations? I did look at my Motherboards manual many many times to no avail. The Motherboard is an Asus Rog Strix-E Gaming WiFi II and I did put a DeepCool LT720 radiator on the top. The liquid cooling works as does the GPU which is a Zotac 4070 Ti Super OC Edition.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me!
Thanks again!

They sell the same exact case without the fans and moved the USB and power+reset button at the bottom as the Cube gaming Knoma In Indonesia.
This case have good airflow?
I built my pc using this case and I plugged in the rgb fans into my mobo header. I’m using a asus motherboard. I downloaded asus sync (armory crate) and the software doesn’t recognize the fans, so I can’t change the color. Anyone have an idea?
I just upgraded my PC a few weeks ago, and I got a ATX mobo. Im now case hunting and I'm finding the same problem everywhere I go with cases that I can afford, having a ATX mobo is making it hard to find a case I can afford and have room in, this case looked like a contender but I'm still undecided and don't know if I should get it. Great video tho
How do I set it up?
Thanks for discovering this and your review. Really helpful! (Maybe I'll buy the new Corsair instead tho? ha Can buy this case for about the price of an iCUE fan 3 pack. Wow...)
Thanks marks9233, appreciate the feedback. The new Corsair cases are cool, I need to take a closer look at one for sure, and yes!!!, fill it will some pricey corsair fans??! Haha. Good Luck, have fun and thanks for watching!!!
I want to buy an air cooler deepcool ak 620 + 9 fans (TL-S12) do you think this is bad for cases like this? I'm using a 7600x with 7800xt gpu, Thank you in advance! Great video
Is There space for arctic liquid freezer iii 360?
excellent video but I need to know what brand and model of the power supply you used
if you want a good white psu try the phentenk amp v2
I have the MSI 550 motherboard that has a 4-pin for the rgb.
The fans have a 3-pin connector. I’m not sure what to do I guess I won’t have the rgb working?
The fans are on just fine it’s only the rgb.
I built this in the black version and ordered reverse flow fans so I don't have to look at the back side of the fans.
hello, thank you for the video, how do you rate the quality of workmanship?
Hi Intuicyjny, I would rate the quality of workmanship on this case as Good. The fit an finish is really good and looks great. All the glass panels fight tight and straight. It has folded over edges to help prevent cuts. I was pleasantly surprised by this case when comparing to a Musetex case from a few years ago. It's not the best case out there, but I'd use it again for sure. It's still sitting here and I really like it.
Good Luck and Have Fun, thanks for watching!!!

Hi carlos_garcia, that is a cx650f corsair power supply. It measures 150mm x 86mm x 140mm. It's an ATX power supply, but it's not huge by any standard. Thanks for watching!!!
did your fans RGB turn on immediately? or do i need to install software of some sort, mine haven’t turned on
you need to connect the rgb cable to the bottom left of the motherboard its separate from the power

Can I install the Asus Rog strix gold aura edition in this case?
Hi rikuyaya, Yes, that power supply will work fine. I'm showing that PSU as having a length of 180mm, the case supports up to a 200mm power supply. The ASUS rog strix gold aura edition otherwise meets the ATX standard, so it will work fine. Good Luck and have Fun!!

No dust protection at all? That's a bummer
what psu did you use i wanna get that one
Hi yaboijosephhh, that specific power supply is a Corsair CX650F. Have fun and thanks for watching!!!
i have never made a pc before, i am thinking to buy this case for my all black pc build,no rgb, i dont care about looks i just want performance. i am scared tho about the fan part, the video i watched to get my parts doesnt give a fan link. i specifically chose this case as i dont wanna install fans. is the 5 fans it comes with ok?
Hi RetroSpace68, The 5 pre-installed fans that come with this case are OK, they are just a basic fan with RGB lighting. They will work well enough for most basic gaming PC builds. You can check out these fans using the following link (non-affiliate) and to purchase additional ones.

Good Luck and most importantly, have fun!!! Thanks for Watching!!!
Hey, I actually am about to finish my build in this case but white. They do include the pre installed fans, i read that you might wanna replace them but the only reasoning was rgb related. They feel like they are really good quality. I installed 5 corsair fans in the case and used 1 fan that came with it. It’s a little tight and hard to move around in for your first build. I just started watching this channel but he seems to have very detailed videos, so im sure he has a tutorial on how to build. If he doesn’t there are a lot of really good ones out there. Good luck man!
After watching the video, i saw that a micro atx motherboard would be a better choice. I installed a full atx motherboard and some of those cables at the bottom can be a little frustrating to deal with in my optinion.

(3) 120 mm fans
@@balkangaming8708 JESUS AND GOD LOVES EVRYONE SO MUCH TURN TO THEM BEFORE ITS TO LATE
actually the two fans in the front are reversed so they are intake fans
The rgb won’t work the fans spin but the colors don’t turn on do I need a connector?
Hi user-th2qd3jp2j, the pre-installed fans are using a 6 pin connector that connects into a cable that splits off into a 4 pin PWM connection and a 3 pin ARGB connector. It sounds like you have the 4 PIN PWM connector connected since the fans are running, but this will not power the rgb lighting. The other connector is a 3 pin 5v ARGB connector. This will need to connect to a 5v ARGB header on your motherboard, or another 5v ARGB controller or HUB, from there you will user motherboard software or a controller remote etc, to control the lighting.
I hope that helps, Thanks for watching!!!

Hi ShawnSolosFr, yes this case includes 5 120mm preinstalled PWM ARGB fans. Thanks for watching!!
Got a question does it have a hdmi port
that's gonna be on your mobo/gpu.
Only one set of my fans is running. I can’t get the ones on the side to run unless I swap out the connector on the header. My daisy chain things are connected too. Anyone else run into this ?
I know this three months old but I am having, if not, the same issue. The RGB is functioning but my side fans will not spin. Have you gotten yours to work since your post?
@@GAMINGANDREACTIONS40 Yeah, I just plugged the second set of fans into the AIO pump slot. I couldnt find any other plug ins for additional fans. it works!

What’s a cheap screw driver you recommend
is the liquid cooler included?
Hi mario-tl7yx, no, this case only included 5 pre-installed fans, everything else is up to you. Thanks for watching!!!
What psu size is it? Atx or Sfx
Hi JackOliver-pi7fd, it takes an ATX PSU up to 200mm long. Of course a SFX power supply would work if you have the right adapter and you may likely need extension cables. But a standard ATX power supply is the PSU of choice. Thanks for watching!!!
Epic review .. Epic beard.
Thanks McBane!!! I appreciate the feedback and your suppport!!! Beard on!!! Thanks for watching!
Ayeee is Nicklaus 👻
My sister got me one of these brand new in sealed box for $20 in an Amazon auction
$20? That's awesome!! and makes a cool looking case all that much better! Have fun and game on! Thanks for watching!!
@@HardwareArtisan Yeah, my sis is crazy at finding deals. Im loving the case. Looks like an aquarium lol
How do i change the argb
Hi Am.r-53, this case doesn't include an RGB controller, you will need to provide a method of changing the RGB lighting on the pre-installed fans. Most Motherboards will have a 3pin 5v ARGB headere that you can plug the fans into. You will then need to use the software for that motherboard (Aura Sync, RGB fusion, etc). That software controls the lighting on the rgb header.
There are many other controllers besides your motherboard as well. For an example of an inexpensive controller that does a decent job, check this out:
Coolmoon fan PWM/RGB controller (Amazon non-affiliate link) a.co/d/adh1KHR
There are others, but that's just to give you an idea, I have this controller and it works well and looks good for a basic cheap controller.
Good luck, have fun and thanks for watching!!!
What software do you use to control the rgb
did you ever figure this out? I'm struggling with the same thing
@@cheesecurds7243no
Bro i cant figure out to turn on the rgb fans either, they still spin but don't light up
You have to use your motherboard software (ie- Gigabyte, Aorus, etc)@@blastveltre5351
@@blastveltre5351your motherboard should have rgb software if not you can download signal rgb
Is it good for vr?
Hi LocckkGT, Being VR ready will depend on the hardware you add to the case, but this case is capable of supporting VR ready hardware for sure. This specific build I did in the video is a little weak in the GPU department for VR, but could be made VR ready with a more capable GPU. Thanks for watching!!!
Does the motherboard not come with it?
Hi jeosaliedmaarteaga6409, no, the Y6 comes with just the case and the pre-installed fans. You need to provide everything else. Good Luck and have fun, thanks for watching!!!
does it come built?
Hi jakefifter, the case comes built with the fans pre-installed. It's up to you to add and build everything else. Good Luck and have fun, thanks for watching!!!
how i fix the rgb
Hi noobking-ej6vk, I'm assuming the RGB lighting is not working, these fans make a connection to the included splitter cable, which then make a standard 4 pin PWM connection for fan power and speed control. This connection does not light up the RGB lighting.
The other connector is a standard 3 pin 5v ARGB connection. This is where the RGB LED's will get power and control from, it needs to be plugged into your motherboard's 5v ARGB header....or another RGB controller (it can also be adapted into a corsair controller with an adapter cable). Just make sure your using a 5V ARGB connection.
If you have it plugged in to a motherboard header and you're getting no RGB lighting, check all your connections and ensure your motherboard has the RGB ports enabled, check your BIOS/UEFI settings. Some Boards also have a swtich on the board to turn that off, check your motherboard manual.
Good Luck and Have Fun!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Where is PSU :)
Can u use this pc to play pro games like roblox,fortntie,apex,and cod?
Hi RS_Jq, this video was a look at the case itself, it comes only as a bare case, it's up to you to provide all the components, so you can certainly make it so that it can play those games. As i've built it here, it's capable of playing most of that, but not at a high level. This PC as shown has a weaker GPU in it, but can certainly play all those games.
The case is capable of housing powerful components. Good Luck and Have fun!! Thanks for watching!!!
Thank u for the info,I’m so grateful that u told me this again thank u
Of all the stuff... I truly hate is magnetic filters.. they are a constant pain in the ass... even just look at your PC and they will fall off or move off crooked...

All those white cables but then they ruin it with the black cables on those fans 😮
I would STRONGLY advise AGAINST purchasing this case. I swapped from an NZXT H500i to this case. There are several flaws. First, although it states it is meant for full sized motherboards, there is absolutely no room for cables to fit underneath/at the bottom of the board. I got past this by unscrewing a couple standoffs, slightly pushing the board away from the case, and very carefully wedging the wires underneath.
So OK, I can get passed that.
But, once you put everything together, you realize that it's impossible to screw the front glass in without completely removing your top mounted rad.
In the process of attempting to screw the front glass piece in place, my screwdriver slipped and scratched the white frost on the glass. That seemed pretty cheap to me. I've had several tempered glass cases and non of them scratched very easily like this.
Upon further inspection there are additional scratches on the actual glass itself in several places. These scratches could only have come from me cleaning the glass with a soft cloth.
Basically, the tempered glass panels are garbage and will scratch with even the slightest contact. I've had my H500i for about 3 years without it getting even a single, minor scratch. If I had known this was a defect, I would never have purchased the case.
Hi vinvin4884. Thanks for your review and feedback on this case. Yea, I noted the same on using ATX boards, it's less than an ideal experience, but MATX was great. I didn't have trouble with the glass as you mentioned, other than you do need to remove an AIO to get the front glass off....A compression pin fitting here would be preferred. Sorry it was a sucky experience!! Again, thanks for helping the community out and sharing your CONS about this case, definitely helps!!
Thanks for watching!!
