13kg in 2 months is incredible, great job. Looking good buddy

@Hanisch8 Ай бұрын

I agree, 13 kgs in 2 months is massive. But I remember when I lost my first 17 kgs and was kinda upset no one noticed. Just keep trucking along, people will start noticing soon. I lost about 60-70kgs in 12 months and people started noticing after the 20-25kg mark. Keep it up ✊

You could fit the Silverstone VIDA slim 240 in this case with no issues at all, just a thought. An exellent guide through though as most consumers would not think of pump heights when purchasing. Machines and more fitted an aio but also did not recommend that configuration either and said air cooling was the way forward.

@realsrv Ай бұрын

Hello Nic, Big fan of your work and builds, hands down the best on KZfaq. I wanted to seek an expert advice. I am someone who doesn't like to put top fan unless its directly above the tower cooler (love air coolers). Do you think the perforation on front of the top panel helps escape the fresh air intake, and doesn't let it force-feed into the tower cooler (In this case and in other cases), and a metal sheet should be used in the front top panel like the NZXT H510 from few years back? Your opinion is much appreciated. Kudos mate!

@GearSeekers Ай бұрын

@ReckIamation Ай бұрын

@GearSeekers damn, back to looking. I'm not water cooling, so having the reduced height is what I'm looking for with a case. Seems whenever a case is increased for matx, they also add more height for radiators, which then makes the case even larger than needed. It would be cool if there was a 1:1 proportion scaled up matx version of the CH160.

I saw another build in this case with a 4090FE and a reverse airflow layout with the Assassin 4 drawing in air from the rear of the case and exhausting through front and top mount fans. Seemed like a good layout, but I'm not entirely sure how effective it would be with the FE card exhausting some of it's heat directly below the case "intake". Did you try any testing in this configuration? I would be very curious how it performs vs. the standard layout.

question is the front fan intake or exhaust? I assume it's intake as the rear fan is exhaust. 11mins in answers this question. So what are the temps without the front fan? One setup you have not done which i don't expect you to do as you have done the video already. Is rear fan set to intake and that is the direction of air with top fan set to exhaust

To be fair its a full mesh case with fan mounts on top, front, side, bottom and back. Temps aren't going to be bad even with thr default fans. All they said about software is it can't handle that many fans, and it still can't to this day... if you occupy all the fan slots with argb fans you'll be able to control half of them.
