Thermals are excellent. The features are fantastic. Not huge. So, from my 2014 build, I still had an H440 case and a Corsair 280mm cooler. It had come to that point in time to make a change. With a 3080, I didn't want a front-mounted cooler, so I went with a P400. I was close to purchasing the P500, but it is too large and unavailable. I was hesitant to purchase the P360a because it had never been reviewed by the regular cast (mostly gamers nexus). But, because it was in the middle of the P400 and 500, and it was new, I decided to give it a try. Well, I received the case, and after about an hour, I was very pleased with the outcome: it's very easy to cable manage, and there's plenty of room where you need it. However, because the case isn't huge, you'll need to be careful, especially if you're adding a 240mm cooler to the top. I chose the Artic II, which is a beefier version of the Artic. Before the cooler could be installed, all of the components that needed to be connected at the top of the motherboard had to be connected. br>Right out of the box, the temperatures are pretty good. I haven't installed a rear fan yet, and the front fans are set to 100%. My system temperatures remained cool after 3 hours of gaming in a hot room (24C), with the 3080 FE never exceeding 75 degrees and the CPU never exceeding 65 degrees. I'll probably put a fan in the back to help with exhaust, but it's not necessary.
Edit: On the back, I installed a 3090 FE and an exhaust fan. Nothing has a temperature higher than 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This is absolutely incredible! br>While I'm not a big fan of RGB, the front lights are pretty cool. If you don't like it, it's simple to turn it off. br>I will undoubtedly tell others about this case.
Great mid-ATX budge. I really like the packaging: I'm not sure what all the hullabaloo is about! br>For the price, this case is fantastic. The construction is of excellent quality. Expectedly, it's a little tighter. The kit comes with plenty of screws and accessories. The layout is very tidy, which I appreciate. Because I'm running two 1070ti ftw2 cards, I was able to install an EVGA 1300 watt PSU. I don't use the number three. Although this case was not designed for a 1300 watt power supply, I believe I would have no trouble installing at least one. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome of the case. Also, don't forget that RGB looks fantastic. It's a perfect 5 out of 5!.
Although the product description does not state it, this case comes with a built-in fan controller and an LED strip. br>br>The controller is powered by SATA, and there are no open ports for additional devices, but the fans can be daisy chained. It might have worked for my setup, but I bought the separate Phanteks controller just in case there wasn't a built-in module and I wanted to be able to use software-controlled RGB. I don't care for the built-in controller's preset RGB schemes, but if you're not picky and don't want to fiddle with it, it does work with front IO buttons right out of the box. br>br>I did have a problem with the LED strip that came with the case being dead on arrival. Support, on the other hand, has been outstanding. They were quick to respond and sent not one, but two replacement strips.
The material is of good quality. (Black) Excellent finish. Building in is simple. There are numerous high-end features available. Two 240mm RGB front fans are included. Out of the box, there's some nice cable management. In a good way, it's very tight. Basic RGB control should be included in the design. (Simple). The case is small and light. Make cable management cutouts, including one for the GPU's power line. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, the glass is enclosed in a plastic frame. Front fans do not have any dust protection. Grill is all that is required. If there are fans mounted on the top, the top dust protector will slide around and not fit flush. The drive bay is oriented forward. (While this isn't a big deal, it might put some people off. ) It didn't bother me in the least. ) PSU bay is cramped with a drive cage, but not to the point of being restrictive. br>br>Overall, I like this case because of its low price. Very nice, and the coin has a great airflow case. Build quality is good, and it's simple to put together. I like how organized it is and how quickly I was able to switch from my old Corsair case to this one.
It has a nice appearance, good RGB, and is a good case. However, there are a few minor flaws. 1. br>br> Only a 120 mm fan will fit in the back, and it will push up against the motherboard's ports.
2. If you're going to top-mount the radiator, you'll need a 280 mm AIO.
3. To accommodate the longer cable, the power supply area is a little tight. br>br>I'd also like to see a better filter on the front of the case rather than on the top. The filter isn't really needed because top-mounted fans usually blow out of the case, and it's a little tacky because it just sits on top of the case.
Do want to reiterate that I am quite pleased with the case and for the price it is 100% worth the purchase. br>br>NOTE: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be I bought the vertical mount kit for my video card because it is high quality, but it will block any PCI slots on the PC, limiting you to using only the video card (which isn't a big deal for me), but if you need to use more than one slot, don't get the vertical mount kit. You could at least have access to the bottom if they had made it to move 1 slot up in the back, but this design your expansion slots are 100% blocked. br>br>Linus TechTips did a video on this case that you should watch, but it basically states the issues I mentioned above.
So close to a 5 star rating, just a few very minor tweaks and it will 100% deserve a 5 star rating I'm hoping that the manufacturer receives these suggestions. I'd like to see a new version with these issues resolved in it!.
This case is incredible value for money at only $80! My phone's camera does not do this case justice. br>br>I upgraded from a god awful cheap MicroATX case to this and man, this thing is so easy to build in, it has great cut outs for cable management (not that I'm a stickler for perfect cable management) and the cables that come in it are already managed for you through two Velcro straps. br>br>But something I do care about more is airflow, and this thing has plenty of vents to 2 splitter on, and speaking of those fans, they look and work fantastically well, and if you care about noise levels (which I don't), they are extremely quiet right out of the box. br>br>My only complaint is the difficulty in unscrewing the side panel thumb screws; I had to use a screwdriver almost every time I needed to remove or replace them. br>br>4. 8/5.
