360mm is absolutely not needed for most people. Even on top tier cpus unless you are rendering on the system. Which if you are doing work why do you need to have a small case. So the amount of people that will use a 360 in a small case is an insanely low number.

@TheShortStory Жыл бұрын
Very happy with this case. After upgrading from an old similarly-sized Cooler Master Silencio something, this feels like a premium product. Got two bottom fans constantly blowing air through the filter at the GPU and hopefully introducing positive air pressure most of the time to reduce dust, an exhaust fan behind the tower cooler and a couple of top exhaust fans for when things get too steamy. Cable management wasn’t easy, but with a modular PSU you should be able to hide the clutter. The case is easy to build in and maintain thanks to the convenient pop-out panels. Even with the panels off it feels solid. I’d go so far as to call it pretty good value, though the discerning buyer will consider the included exhaust fan close to e-waste. Expecting this will last decades.

I always build with Asus motherboards and so I'll be plugging the USB-C front panel cable into the USB-C connector on the Asus Prime Z790M-Plus motherboard I'm using in my build. It seems strange to be mounting the power supply in the front, that's no big deal. Also, this will be my first tower without any 5.25 or 3.5 inch front panel openings. But I really don't need them. I have an external DVD-RW I can use for the very rare times I use an optical drive these days. Looking forward to getting this build going!! 🙂

A lot of people out there are saying the Pop Mini's airflow and GPU temps suck due to the shroud being so close to the bottom plate inside the case. This is why I'm looking at the AP201. I just don't like the wacky PSU layout. And, the Pop Mini comes with 3 fans, whereas this only comes with 1 exhaust. Cannot decide!
