The funny thing is that our off brand is another countries name brand.

Do a 1 year retest to see if it holds up. Working for 1 day is practically meaningless. I'll wait.

The Wilhelm Scream at the beginning of the video was awesome 😂

"Is this from that submersible?" 🤣🤣🤣

5:45 I'm here for ALL the asinine puns 😂

The Heart Princess Kyle voice acting is A+

11:57 Dang, the build turned out way cooler than I thought

Girl Maths.....Always useful for us PC addicts.

the rough motion of the RGB may not be the fault of the fans nor the extensions, as they may be the fault of the RGB controller.

I've used a few Red Dragon products in the past and honestly have always been pleasantly surprised. No they aren't going to be on par or beat high end brands, but for the price it's usually a safe purchase. I even had a good experience with their customer service. Bought a keyboard with hot swap PCB and came with blue clicky switches. I didn't like them and reached out to Red Dragon to see if they would be willing to send me some brown switches to install. I only asked bc they included a 3 pack of alternative switches with the keyboard. Red Dragon said they don't stock sets of switches, but instead sent me an entire new keyboard with Brown switches for free...and said I could keep the one I purchased. The interesting thing was that they didn't ask me to do the typical (China junk ripoff company) thing, where they tell you to give the product a 5⭐ review due to the free product. So Red Dragon is typically worth taking a chance on, at least for peripherals....I don't know how much I'd trust the longevity of an AIO but who knows

I like it, Kyle. Sending all the positive vibes from Minnesota!

I bought an offbrand PSU once, it literally blew up in my pc a month after purchase. I have not since, nor will i ever again cheap out on a power supply.

that radiator has straighter fins than all the corsair aios ive ever had hahahahah

09:28 👍 "...RGB lighting to let you know your IED has been activated." Savage, just savage. 👀

Glad to see the channel back, was looking so long and couldn’t find it. Helped me build my first pc 🙌. Hope it continues and and we see the journey continue 🔥

good to see you back! that radiator implode after a year of that case 4:50

Would be nice to do a longevity test on this build, leave it running 24/7 and ramp it occasionally to simulate actual usage (not just a torture test) and see how the fans, pump, psu, drive hold up over time.

Still THE most (the MOST? :p) entertaining of the A-list tech wizards (wand not included). Nice work, Kyle. Keep after it, my dude.

Most of my desktop peripherals I built in 2020 are from Tecware, their quality is quite good IMHO. Tecware Forge M for my case Tecware Orbis F1 & F3 for my fan kit Tecware Orbis LED strip Highly recommended if you can get. PS: I did not get a notification from your previous video, going to watch it now.

i actually forgot that i hadn't seen one of your videos in a while so i did a manual search and have had to do that since because youtube didn't show your videos in the home page even though im subscribed. but today it did. i don't know which one's weirder lol.

You should do a follow up video of you trying to RMA each component.

I had several customers literally freak over those IDcool Unifans, only because for a time the Lian li ones were never in stock. They do the job, look good and perform as good as anything else. I prefer the Light wings or Swafans for that type of price, I can only hope Be quiet! decideds to do some magnetic connectors or Lian li style clipping. Great video Kyle!

Nice build Kyle!

Luv this build

I have to admit bro, even most of it are from brands that are unheard of, that rig is a beauty! Who knew you could get all that "premium" rgb goodness without spending a ton of money and even had an anime waifu!!! Great video bro keep it up!

great vid as always ❤

Redragon is not a off brand name they’ve been around for a while and are pretty trustable. My 850 WATT PSU is from there and I have no complaints. It’s so underrated and cheap once you compare it to Corsair etc. beautiful brand man

I haven't seen your vids in a while and I must say I enjoyed this video more than before. Mainly because your character isn't too over the top.

nice build. Amazing looking case for the money

Fire content, great job for not falling off after all this time😂😂😂😂

you gotta upload more often man!

I recently used the Icoler fans (V1) for a build I will be attempting to sell soon. They were nice to work with, and I'll be using them in my next build, for sure. As for the AIO, I went with a Thermalright 360mm AIO, which was cheaper than the Red Dragon one. If you haven't looked into Thermalright yet, definitely do so.

Kyle always bringing the heat

Looks really nice.

you always make my day better!

How many of the well known brands have been selling crap over the years or screwing over customers on RMA's and warranty's, i'd be more than happy to try any of these "knock-off's".

Kyle, please let Lyle out of the basement, it has been over a month.

Klevv collabed with LoL Pro Faker back around 2015 with a ddr3 kit. That kit was my best ddr3 set of RAM.

South african here 🇿🇦. These brands may not be common in North America but here in Africa and parts of Asia these brands are very common

I love the constant roasting of the PSU 😂😂😂😂

Please do another pc like this please. I love videos like this.

Ventroo’s PSU’s are actually getting good grades on the tier list, too.

I love this build, it'd be great if you could stress test this pc for quality, these parts could become a go-to for budget builders.

Ive literally just upgraded and rebuilt my pc and used the interstellar fans. Really pleased with them. The look great. I also have a 2tb nvme from fanxiang which has been going strong for just over a year now so all good. My previous build also had klev crass ddr4 memory and that was great too

If this is the content I get from less Bitwit output... I'm okay with it. Shine on you crazy diamond!

So I've been living in asia for few years now and I could swear that I see FANXIANG everytime I look for an ssd. So I bought a 1TB gen3 unit and its working just fine for more than a year now

Hi Kyle, everything good? Im from Brazil and i work as a PC Technician... Gamemax is very popular around here... They make reliable PSUs and great Cases too... Around here they have AIOs and Air Coolers as well... Its a great option for a budget build because the products are far far from bad...

finally some good content

Good news, wasn't subscribed and the algorithm recommended the video. (am subscribed now 😅)

Great video lol knock off brands for the cosmetic win 😂

*Great build!*

Redragon is a great brand. I use their horus keyboard. I love it. The hot swappable cherry switches sound great, there is sound dampening foam and a fully brushed metal body. It's low cost but really high quality.

That specific Gamemax unit has been independently reviewed by a brazilian review company called Teclab, they're the most reputable PSU reviewer in the company, and the units tested seemed to pass with flying colors all sorts of tests

This should be a short series. Like "Is it worth it ?" Where you compare different obvious clones and their performance. I'd love to see this kind of testing of products so people can build PCs while saving money 😊

He didn´t pull the trigger off that PSU... He pulled the safety pin off of that electric grenade.

What if you could have found a knock of CPU? That would have been EPIC!

The true test is whether this hardware still holds up in 6 months to a year's time. My guess is that the fans will wear out more quickly, the PSU may or may not combust, and the SSD will meet its demise sooner than expected.

I was going to go with Lian-Li fans but I just don't see it reasonable anymore, thank you, and thank Lyle for the work y'all do

I have the gamemax 850w. 3 years going strong!! 😊

I haven’t had a bitwit video pop up in fyp for AWHILE until today

Used a gamemax 1250w 80+ platinums PSU with my old 4070 aero with absolutely no issues and makes no noise at all. Was pleasantly surprised

I'm working so haven't got time to got through all of the comments but I bought a Fanxiang SSD 3.5" 500GB to rebuild a desktop without wiping the Samsung drive that was my boot drive. It showed up as £36 on Amazon Uk but then I signed in and got it for £27. I've been using it for around a month on a dual boot setup and it's been fantastic so far

Hilarious and informative. ❤

this is a good idea for a vid

Jungle Leopards are great not gonna lie. I love using their block fans.

I recently build my daughter a pc and bought a 50 dollar case, DIYPC Q3. She loves it

I hate you Kyle...now I want that motherboard despite already having a decent B650 board lol. It's one of the best looking white/silver boards I've seen.

I just built my very first gaming PC using some of these same components in the same case! ❤🙂🖥️

Great video

Off brand doesn't always mean crap (Sometimes it does). I bought a $10 pair of Power King headphones WAAAAY back in 1991, and they are still going strong over 30 years later, unlike the company that made them. I bought newer name brand ones, but the sound just wasn't what I was wanting.

Knock-off pc parts brands are savior for me, i got like 8 Lian Li like fans for 40 euros no joke with same features, maybe the performance might not be the same but i mean, more rgb more fps and my cooling is exotic anyways

Klevv is a brand by Essencore, which is itself part of the SK group. Ergo, it's basically a sister company to SK Hynix, which is why it uses Hynix nand.

Wooohoooo... a new Bitwit video, I hope everyone is doing well.

The cooler unit escaped the Shawshank. Hahahahahaha.

I miss Lyle. Dude, it's pronounced "strimer" like "glimer", not "streemer". Yes, I did ask them.

8:31 I have this brand of PSU in my current PC. No problems yet (Knocks on wood)

this doesn't fill me with confidence i have that PSU ahah

A Rtx 4070 Ti Super in Singapore is really expensive it goes sometimes around 2000 SGD/1480 USD but for now it stabilized to 1300-1700 SGD

Should have went with something like a "Power Spec" brand Psu. Its Microcenters inhouse brand. Id consider that an offbrand. "High Power" makes them last I read.

with a knockoff video that would be a lyle video :D

I´m personally not someone who can accept nor will ever cheap out on parts. I happily pay the premium price for Lian Li parts instead of buying knock offs simply because Lian Li is one of the few companies who actually listens to their customers and are improving their products. I´ve been a huge fans ever since the O11D Mini got released. Which was my very first case. And that drive to improve products is why I want to pay a premium price so Lian Li has the funds to improve and offer newer and better tech. Beside the poor RGB on the fans, Ram and psu cable "extensions" I think if you set it all to a monochrome color then it can actually look very decent. And with the AiO well I wouldn´t buy any knock off AiO simply because the Arctic Liquid Freezer III is 90€ right now and it got crowned the best performing AiO 2024. So just spend the 30 bucks extra to have one of the best AiO´s on the market and yes I mean the 360 model. So still that brings the savings down to 270$ and that´s still a good amount. Considering that a 4070 Super costs around 750-800$ that amount is actually enough to get a 4070 TI Super or with some luck and deals a 4080 which would be a massive upgrade. So yes if you´re able to get a better GPU then this is worth it. And don´t worry I´ll buy Lian Li products at a premium price so they continue improving :D

Have a good one

I've had those fans saved on my Amazon account for several months now, but couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger on them yet. I worried about them being too loud under load since they’re cheap knock offs. Maybe I'll give them a try. Icoler also makes a 30mm thick fan with the same Uni Fan look. I’d be interested in the performance of those fans as well!

"and why did she run her clothes in the dryer so long ?" lol

The real question is...how long does all the off brand products last? Update us in the next couple months

Lyle might as well have built this, given how many straight-outta-China parts went into this build.

Please build another "knock-off" build using tecware case, AIO, fans, light strips, keyboard, mouse, headset and monitor ^_^

2:47 uh, KLEVV/Essencore is nowhere near being a knockoff brand. It's to SK Hynix what Crucial is to Micron.

Pretty certain their PSUs are Tier F. Here for the Fishtank.

Great video, LOVE FROM MAXSUN🥰🥰🥰

this video shows how much we getting ripped off by the so called top brands

"Braces?" I think you mean tweezers.

Even if you can afford it I would still use a Gen 4 drive instead of a Gen 5 simply because of the heat factor. Especially so if gaming if your main use. And yeah the PSU is something you DO NOT want to cheap out on. Other than that nice build.

Nice!

There's some decent "budget" or knockout brands out there. Especially when it comes to cases/fans etc.

nice video/build... what was the total coast?

I'd be kind of interested to see what the thermals would have been like if you kept the rear fan and included AIO fans and just used two 3 packs of fans for the side and bottom intake. Also, if you did get rid of the rear fan and original AIO fans, how did you populate all ten fan slots with only three 3 packs of fans?

You just needed an excuse to buy that graphics card. 😜

Hmmm. Might consider this build

Klevv actually makes a good product
