i'm always fascinated by the quality of your vidoes . everything looks Super clean and superb . super professional
Good to know about the power supply
Not what I expected with the photos I saw online. I thought it was much larger with plenty of room for proper air cooling solution. I also did not know it came with liquid cooling and its own PSU. Requiring liquid cooling clearly takes it out of my "wishlist", but I am sure most people won't have a problem with that. Very good and helpful review.
why you don't like liquid cooling? isn't liquid cooling the superior option?
@@mvargasmoran One, I don't like the idea of having "water pipes" inside delicate electronics. Two, they are far easier to break. Three, if an air cooling solutions bites the dust, your computer will slow down and save itself, or even shut down. If liquid cooling leaks then, hi. Liquid cooling might be better at lowering temps, but it is an overkill for most cases and just a way to sell product that is completely unnecessary for the VAST VAST majority of people and certainly not necessary for the gamers or editors etc of the world. That's why. Obviously that's just my opinion.
6:10 that’s a deal breaker for me. My first pc built I bought cheap broze rated 650w psu, and it was the loudest pc component, so annoying, ended up replacing it immediately to a really good one gold rated fully modular 850w, and it’s making no noise whatsoever. Lesson learnt - don’t buy crappy psu.
Thank you for posting this excellent video.Your discussion of the different components always convinces me to watch every one of your reviews. You present so well and really show a knowledge of the product under test. The videography is outstanding, certainly in the top bracket. This case offers something interesting: some USB ports at the bottom of the case. That is a useful idea.
Hi Nada, I like you and your videos very much. You give us that refined touch when reviewing new PCs and components, which is refreshing.
Glad you like them!
Hi Nada. When buying a new car, I insist the salesperson is a lady.@@TechTesters
Always a quality review and video.
Thanks you always have Great reviews. You Rock. :)
Thanks!
Thank you Tech Mama for the wonderful Cooler Master NCORE 100 MAX review! 🤭
I just built a PC in one of these cases. I also got a noisy PSU, and the two 120mm fans don't have the best noise profile. I'm going to swap out the CM PSU for a Corsair SF750, and the fans for Noctua NF-A12s, and then put some electrical tape on the stupid CPU pumpblock. It's such a shame that CM messed up what is a lovely case, with terrible accessories. I would have preferred to buy it more barebones! Also, a word of warning to nvidia Founders card owners - this case is pretty bad for airflow, one of your fans will be blasting air at a solid interior wall, and the other will be blasting air at your desk. Stick to third party cards.
If they fix the PSU noise, it'd be completely happy with it tbh. And agreed on FE cards, definitely stick to traditional fan layouts.
I'm loving my new BeQuiet Silent Base 802 :) upgraded from the Corsair 4000D I went for the Airflow format.
I really want to migrate the guts of my Fractal Torrent Nano into this case. Such a small footprint.
I saw this one on sale already, don't know if it's a legit one or not. Thanks ❤️
can you buy that rizer cable seperately?
Superbe vidéo, les remarques sont judicieuses et intéressantes , merci Nada. Salut à baby Groot!
Le travail sur les sujets traités est toujours de qualité; le style des vidéos est soigné. J'ai 6 abonnements "KZhead" et vous êtes la seule Femme de langue anglaise en plus, mais avec le traducteur j'arrive à bien vous suivre; même si parfois la traduction est surprenante. Donc MERCI, pour tout.💐
very interesting like the look
Cool case
Can you place the PSU on top and place a 240-360mm radiator for the CPU instead? on the side of course, its because the CPU AIO cooler is clearly throttling hard, cant imagine to place any big CPU like 14900KS.
As someone who works from home, the lack of idle fan stop really kills this case for me. A PC shouldn't be making any noise if I'm simply using outlook, teams and other non-intensive apps. Hopefully they'll issue a V2 and fix it. I don't have much experience with SFX PSU's, do they all make noise during intensive loads? My ATX PSU is silent no matter what load I'm putting through it.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
BTW why haven't you reviewed the 7600X till now? You present some of the most comprehensive benchmarks in the industry and it's sad to see that the six core parts did not receive some love from you.
I was thinking about this one, but instead I went with the NANOQ, which should be available in two months.
6:07 Your case is not some "monday modell" regatding PSU noise level. This PSU is according to cybenetics in second lowest tier according to noise, with 37,5 db. At this price (395€ is lowest i can find) i can not consider it a good deal. That is already an annoying level of noise.
This would be great for a Firewall ProxMox computer. Too bad it doesn't look like it can have a dual 1G/10G NIC card connection, since there is no room for it. And not many good motherboards have dual 10G NIC connections. So you can use it as a FireWall Router ProxMox computer. Its a really nice design. Maybe on next Black Friday 2024 i'll pick it up when prices drop. Because $380 for a case is pretty steep.
Not interested in the case but i like the channel and i leave a like
This is why I always go with Corsair SF SFX PSUs, Cooler Master is very hit or miss on the noise levels on theirs.
You are from Holland, but your English is absolutely perfect.
Holland is just one area in Netherlands, and no, she's not originally from the Netherlands. Her English is great, with an accent, but not "absolutely perfect" like you claim.
@@GrainGrown Lol @ accent, do you think people from Austin where I travel to work or from New Jersey talk the exact same English???, or that USA speaks the same English as England. Get real dude.
@@blacksama_ Of course not. That's what accents are. What was your point?
I am in love with my Corsair carbide 400c case and my system with rog 4080 is installed in my minimal case and it runs perfectly silent, even though the processor cooler is Noctua and 5800x3d, but this case really encourages me to collect a new case :D
Good morning
👍👍❤❤❤
Psu fan is a deal breaker, thanks.
looking very glamorous today!! even more so than usual!
It’s a giant 1960s cigarette lighter 🔥😂🚬
If I was at all interested or able to be convinced to try AIO/Watercooling I would want 100% a great warranty lol. "They might" made me laugh haha and 100% makes me not want to try it, that's so bad. Hope they DO, change that.
😁😁😁👍👍👍
I don't see why you would buy this over a Phanteks Evolv Shift 2, that is probably better looking, the same size, same general footprint, holds a 3 slot card, and can have a 3.5 storage drive plus like two or three 2.5s all simultaneously
Looks dope, but way too expensive
This case is way too expensive for what it is. The loud idle power supply is a no-go.
why are you getting so beautiful
New video= new comment
i have a Ncore 100 Max and the PSU sound is terrible
Interesting design. In winter you can just crank up FurMark and use it as a **space heater** 🤣🤣🤣
True :D
looks like a portable heater
It can be :D
@@TechTesters interesting design just different it's great
The Cooler Master SFX PSUs are riddled with quality control issues. A friend of mine had two 750w ones, which had bad and then worse coilwhine. The fan was like the one Nadia pointed out, loud.. It's a shame, as Cooler Master has really cool ideas, but often trips and falls a bit short when it comes to execution, only for another brand to take the idea and refine it better.
This is so true. I had a 750W CM SFX PSU and it had the horrible fan profile that just goes from 0-100% any time there's the tiniest power spike. I tried to RMA it but CM wanted me to pay to actually ship their defective PSU so they could send me a replacement.
I had a couple that were completely great, no issues or fan issues whatsover. Not sure still what's going on with these. I do remember that one series of SFX PSUs had some noise issues and that they did a revision quickly after, but I don't remember exactly which one nor did I have those.
@@TechTesters That's the one I had. Still have it in my closet, just couldn't be bothered spending 1/3 of the price of the PSU to ship it to CM and then maybe receive the revision months later (which was what people were claiming was happening). For now I just keep it stored in case I have a project where noise is not relevant, like maybe a media server in the basement.
*Nada, not Nadia.
So around $500 in retail. My current case cost around $150, another $150 for the power supply and $100 for cooler, it's a solid silent black no-bs minimalist look, but nothing fancy. That's like a $100 difference for novelty and design, pretty good. You know, it kind of makes sense. But they really got to sell it to you, because without putting the numbers through your head it just sounds expensive. But really what you're getting is a decently priced premium chassis with power and cooling - that's 3 things off the list straight away, already compatible and from a good brand. And it looks good. I'd buy.
If the cooler breaks, you can't buy the same parts.
Looks good but not 350 pounds good
Nope not for me.
hmm 400 dolarus, 500 with taxes; maybe if I win the lottery someday
Or when you get a job and move from your mother's basement
@@bearzilla2462 way ahead of you kiddo, sadly living is expensive and poor countries wages suck
dust cleaner. Case looks to old like from 1980.s.
You say that like it's a bad thing!
Funny. It does look like an air purifier. 😂
To old?
@@Mr.SausageFingers does it look like new futuristic look? For me like case from 1980's... i was waiting cases in 2024 to look futuristic but no... they getting even worse.
It looks so shit
