To see the debut of our new case testing methodology, check out the Fractal North XL review! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7d4fqab2r-4hoU.html We previously reviewed & benchmarked the Hyte Y60 here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7SWpqpeps-WgHU.html -- comparatively, it seems as if the Hype is a step beyond a Hyte clone.

Man, really expected more from a brand who's been making cases for 10, 15, 10, 15, 10, 10 years now

They’re 100% banking on people mistaking this one for the original, thank you for getting the word out.

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.

"Includes....buttons ... Cool!" I was rolling 🤣

Not gonna lie, naming something "Diamond COC" is an absolute power move

"Be ready, be gammer" This is gonna be good.

"It's not the case we needed, but the case we deserve. Be ready, be gammer." - Stevve Burrke, Gammer's Nexxus

I'm sorry but I cannot unsee those cases looking like fish tanks. XD

“Created for those for dare to win” sounds less like a slogan and more like a passive aggressive threat.

"Gamemax. Why does that name sound familiar?" *Glances nervously at the power supply my roommate gave me which is currently running* OOOOHHH NOOOOO...

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 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

nothing goes harder then the Diamond COC

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.

One of the most entertaining, yet also informative, videos I have watched recently. Thanks for the review!

So pleased to see case reviews starting again it's been far too long! Thanks for this

They somehow made a COC as hard as diamond. That’s impressive.

2:36 "They say it's patented". It *is* a patented design... it's just that the patent isn't held by GameMAX! 🤣

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.

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.

“It features buttons.” -zooms in-- “COOL” 😂😂😂😂

But, did they say that it’s patented by themselves?

The jump cuts due to a laughing break makes this review just golden

Case. Closed.

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.

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.”

Really appreciate this case review it helped in many ways thanks

ROFL your faced @7:56-57, priceless! Snip that for insert, maybe with a drip sound, lol!

Too bad Thermaltake wasn't the sponsor. That would have been the icing on the cake.

This should be a series

@4:40 "front IO features.... Buttons.... COOL!" I laughed way harder than I should have at that

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.

A Chinese company NOT respecting copyrights...Color me Shocked! Shocked I tell you!

"it frequently fails to respond to the remote for... mysterious reasons. the reasons are: it sucks." I laughed at this for a solid minute , thank you for all you do

"Buttons! Cool!" Had me rolling. 🤣

That Silent Hill case straight up looks like the one I got on my first unfortunate purchase from IBuyPower in like 2010 lol.

"COC" stands for "Case Obviously Copied"!

Steve's bluntness is one of many reason why I love this channel. Thanks, Steve.

7:55 “…and I don’t know what that means…” had me dying😂

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.

I was expecting the cut to Patrick to him saying 'It sucks. Back to you, Steve'.

Always interesting, thank you.

I almost bought that case. Thank you guys for the info. I'm subscribing right now.

Thermaltake: "We are the kings of stealing other companies case designs." GameMAX: "Hold my beer."

It's still impressive how close they copied it while somehow making the case bad.

You don't understand, the gaps in the glass are an airflow feature. 😉

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).

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.

Diamond hands are obsolete, embrace the DIAMOND COC

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.

There's this one PC case I always thought I'd find you reviewing it - ENDORFY Arx 700 Air

HYPE lmao, at least they aren't trying to hide it

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.

I am only half way through the video but I need to make one comment. Steve, you are having entirely too much fun here. You are trying to talk like any other review but that little sideways grin every 2 or 3 minutes makes it totally obvious that this thing, while bad and a rip-off, is mostly providing entertainment content.

"Be Ready, Be Gammer!!" Should be the slogan for Ready Player Two 🤣🤣

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.

These are everywhere in Brazil. They sell everything from peripherals to PSUs - which I wouldn't trust to power a lamp.

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 love how you guys protect consumers thank you

Another great video of Gammer Nexus!

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.

I almost spit my coffee. What a showcase!

Yes, and every car brand these days stole from Benz. And every mobile phone manufacturer stole from Motorola. Someone always made the first design of something and then it got copied. Otherwise we would have monopolies everywhere. Personally, I don't see how more brands using certain designs for PC cases is a bad thing. So should other companies not be allowed to make fish-tank PC cases? Seriously, these 2 cases look totally different to me. Their only similarity is them being fish-tanks. I have a Gamemax case (the Gamemax Storm in white) and I'm very happy with it. Its a good case for a very affordable price (I paid €35 for it).

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.

OMG Vitalii has a voice? What is this sorcery?!?! I thought Jay was the only person with a vocal camera dude? Mind Blown.

Oh hey I've owned two AIOs from GameMax, both of which have had absolute dreadful whining from the pump unless you push down on the plastic housing of said pump. Truly a mark of quality.

Hyte Y60 is the best case i've owned, and I have ZERO complaints about it....Just a great all around product, and i recommend anyone pick it up.

Glad to see gamers nexus on the.....case

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.

I had to check out the prices. I was thinking $60 for a poorly made knockoff. Ok. $140 for the case is what I saw. That's ludicrous. $25 less than the real thing. Great reporting.

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.

'Be Ready' Ya be ready for a lawsuit. Lawyer: So how is it different? Game Max: We changed a letter and made it worse.

If you dont have a COC case are you really a Gammer?

"But my favorite feature..... IT SUCKS" I lost it there XD

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.

"... be gammer." Are they wishing me to become radioactive?

The world wasn't ready for the Diamond COC

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 have never found the need to enable subtitles on KZfaq videos but the day has finally come.

Between Jayz's Overcock, and Steve's Diamond Coc, Tech is going into a direction I did not foresee.

Thank you, Gammer Nexus, for the solid review!

“Buttons…. COOL” actually dying right now

This has to be one of the funniest/ not funniest things you guys have posted. How companies think no one will notice is beyond me 😂 its like someone breaking into your house, opening the fridge door and eating your food noisely while you sleep

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" 🤣👍🔥

I swear that case is quite literally the "Mom can get thing meme, No we have thing at home"

I don't know if you already have one, but would be really nice if you could do a big list of top cases, budget, airflow, for expansions etc.

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.

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.

lol those thick square brackets in the product description

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.

ah yes, thanks GN for the long awaited Shyte Y69 review

"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

Gamemax Aero Mini Black. I bought 2 of these for my kids builds. Been working really well for the price lol.

This reminds me of the 90's when knockoffs were Mike(Nike), Adibas(Adidas), Ruibaak(Reebok), Bufu(FUBU) etc. 'Be gammer' killed me 😂😂

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.

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.

1:02 I'll be ready and most importantly, *be Gammer*

That Diamond COC definitely got me lol

The hype is real.
