I think most of u cats clicked on the vid cause of the title 🤣🤣 But Kosher appreciates the 💗
what parts did you put in your computer
Word, Kosher can you please link the aio bless up
bruh...I had a heart attack when u lifted the case lmao
LMAO I mean it is a carrying strap after all 😁
@@KosherTech hey I have an issue where I can't get the case rgb to sync to my motherboard or work with armoury at all. It shows up as a header but does nothing except the presets. I have an asus rog b550 wifi my hyperx ram syncs but case doesnt. I've never done rgb before but the whole build is asus products I'm confused, I had to plug into the rgb hesder 2 on the mobo because the first header is 4 pin only and my gt301 header is a 3 pin with 4 slots but there is no third pin hole so only works on the second with 3 pins. Do I need to buy a controller that can plug into the first header?

im using the same case right now and my brother put all the stuff in and when we turned it on we noticed the fans werent spinning but the rbg was working, just a note my brother has built 2-3 computers and they all worked fine
A very nice review. I just came across this case and am moving my build over from a TT case.
For anyone thinking about buying this case it is great case with good build quality and it is actually pretty compact size for atx case. Looks a lot nicer in person too.
Yeah i think about getting it, looks fine and good price.
@@teeaymusik9811 Get it bro! You wont be dissapointed. It cost me 70€ (on sale) and has 3 x 120mm rgb fans on front, one 120mm normal fan on rear and mesh front panel + dust filters everywhere. Been super happy with the case
does it come with 3 fans in front?
@@regardzz 3 x 120mm rgb on front, one normal 120mm.on rear
@@topisalonen8813 can u install 2 fans up?
Man this is a great video, earned a new sub
For those of you who are from Brazil and are not finding this on the market, there is a very new brand called "Mancer" and it has a cabinet called "Mancer Klevar" which is very similar!
Thank you for the review 👍
360 does fit with the 1 Ft GPU. You can fit 1 fan on the inside at the bottom and 2 at the front if you remove the insert from the cover.
Hey @koshertech how did you manage to put the coolers to work? Did you just need to use the back controller? I've got one but even though the light is on, the coolers don't work. Could you give any advice for the stock setup?
aye thank you! answered my questions about the aio!
The tramp stamp looks good imo its a nice design..also the tempered glass sliding is better than those ugly thumb screws
nice vid man just wondering if you could go into more detail on how to insert/install a storage drive for this case btw im not to much into pcs so this might seem like a dumb question
damn the with light inside in black case is sooo beautiful 🥰😍😍
Thanks for the video. I bougth the GT301 TUF Zaku case cause Gundam fuckin rocks. So I was looking for a resource anywhere on how to secure the spinning disk tray. I literally couldn't find a guide or answer anywhere until I found your video. Thanks a lot. I'm in the process of building my pc right now.
You just got a new Subscriber…awesome video my G One question Can you remove the strap in the front ?
Yes
Thanks for the vid. I'm building my son a PC for Xmas. He'd love this case but quick question. I've bought an Asus ROG b450-f board with 12v 4pin RGB headers. Rather than mess around with 12v-5v I thought I'd just fit a set of deep cool 12v 4 pin RGB pwm fans. But can my son still use the RGB switch for quick changing of colours to save going to the aura sync software? How is the top switch connected? Many thanks
Hey which deepcool fans are u connecting?
Just found your channel. Helpful. Thanks.
Appreciate that 💯
Great review, might get this case if I can get a 3080 on launch
@Elias Killian flixportal
@Caleb Luis Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !!
@Elias Killian Glad I could help :)
Wow this looks so majestic
How thick are the Asiahorse fans and your radiator because I'm thinking of trying to get an aio top mounted in this case
It is beautiful too. Which Corsair fan is on the back case?
I just bought mine a ROG Thor PSU, and a Asus RTX 3060ti. The Case and PSU will arrive tomorrow and my GPU 28th
COOL REVIEW!!!!
Hi bro, Which is this AIO cooler you are used for this build ?
Wait so those 240mm fans you put at the top are for the CPU? Or just peripheral?
Thanks for the vid.
Just bought this for $70 for a streaming PC. Perfect amount of fancy
Thanks for the review I was planning on buying this case 😁
💯 anytime brah brah!
The housing is tight and does not allow dust to pass through, but it has a drawback - it has very little space for cables.
Loved the video!
Appreciate it yougin 💯
Nice video mate, do you reckon it fits a 340mm GPU? using the original front fans...
Probably be a tight fit not too sure
5:30 a little TUFF hahaha
I bought this case but haven't done a build in it yet. When i have completed my build i will update info about thermals etc. And how easy it was to build on that case and if there was enough room for cable management =) Going to go w/ ryzen 5 5600x + rx 6600 xt or rtx 3060 edit: just did a build, the fans rgb lights worked but the fans didn't spin at first. I got that sorted out though. ✌
Was it easy to build in?
@@sox5801 Yeah the case also looks really nice in person and it's actually pretty compact size. I thought it would be huge but nah 😁 it has room for cable management and has this sturdy feel overall
@@sox5801 i went with ryzen 5 5600x and gigabyte rx 6600 xt
@@topisalonen8813 alrigh thanks. Im thinking of building a pc with a i3 12100f amd gtx 1660 super
@@sox5801 check rx 6600 price, it's like 50% faster and not so much more expensive
@KosherTech - will this case fit a tower air cooler type like the deepcool assassin III
Which AIO Cooler and fans did you used? I plan to buy same things so I can fit them on the top as you did.
Used the corsair H100i pro 240mm aio with Asiahorse FS-9002 chinesergbfans 😁
@@KosherTech thanks :)
How long is the strix card (in mm) that you used to show if it could fit? I may get this case with a 300mm GPU and a 360mm radiator, would that fit?
11.5 inches
Hi, building new pc and planned to mount CPU AIO 360mm in front and AIO 240mm from GPU on top. But seems it will not work, what u think? Should I risk and buy this case or no? My GPU: ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6900 XT OC
what do you think leave the fans or just get Nzxt fans
Can this case fit a larger video card like a 6950XT or a 4080?
Thanks for the vid! Do you know if this case can support an RTX 3080?
Yuuup. Swing by our discord server brah brah we'll help u out discord.gg/f5g7NA4
If anyone watching in 2022, the 3.5" HDD tray in the bottom has screw holes where you can slide it over to fit them and the 360mm Rad
Thanks for the tip, just bought this case for my little brother
can you actually vertical mount the GPU? cause I really want to buy it kinda doesn't look like you can
Is this case overkill for a i5 10400 asus motherboard, 1660ti and a couple drices? My dell spa cropped out and I'm just taking parts from to do a cheap build. I was going to get a versa h17 for 50 bucks.
Are the buttons on top or bottom because another KZheadr said they were at the bottom of the case not the top
is an Msi coreliquid 240r AIO compatible on top?
ok i just saw the cable. it seems those usb hub at the front are both 3.0
I love this case! I want it
Very thorough, thank u
💯
I mighta missed it. What kinda cord extenders you running in this if anyone can help?
Приветствую дорогой друг подскажи. Купил такой же корпус и у меня проявилась проблема после того как всё подключил, горит индикатор led белым. Потом пропал на холодный запуск а после заходит только в биос и горит уже boot и не распознает загрузочный ssd Переустановил провода от жесткого и ссд всё заработало. Но не знаю как на долго. Что это могло быть ?
Hey man. Just bought that case! What Corsair Cooler/Radiator are you using? I wanna be sure it will fit in the top.
Corsair H100i pro 240MM AIO with Asiahorse FS-9002 FANS
@@KosherTech Thanks! Mind helping me out a bit more? The last part i must buy is the cooler. Do you think a H80i V2 from Corsair or a ML120L TUF edition from Cooler Master would be ok to cool of a Amd 5600x? The H80i would fit in the rear? Or I should go with a larger 240 rad on the top like you?
I would say maybe a 240 but it depends on ur budget. Swing by our discord server brah brah we'll help u out discord.gg/f5g7NA4
on the top of the pc there are headphone port but not a mic port ? how im i suppose to use my mic
Can't make front fan RGB work with Z490-e. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I'm considering buying this case, but have a 327mm long GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO. I'll not use radiators and I'm willing to not use the fan just in front of the GPU if that is what it takes to make this case work for me. Do you think it would fit? or its a risky gamble?
Yeah it should fit. I had that Strix card installed which is bout 12inch
I like the TUF Gaming GT501 Case better I know it is older but I think you and get for the same price.
Would it fit gaming oc rtx 3070 with b450 tomahawk max? Also on partpicker it says the mobo is not compatible with usb 3.2 type c on front, should I use CoolerMaster TD500 Mesh instead?
It will fit that card. The TB mesh is also a nice case. Feel free to swing by our discord server discord.gg/f5g7NA4
Or you can move the HDD bays to the right to give some space on the 360 rad.

Hi ... I would like to know if the asus gt301 is capable enough to operate with corsair icue software or should an entire new fan kit be purchased?
You'd need to get the Corsair fans.
How did you remove the front ??
Does it support 240mm and 360mm both coolers? Does it change colour in Fans? How many RGB fans are there? Waiting for your reply?
All those questions get answered in the vid
Hi, u think the corsair h100i Platinum se with a low profile ram Will fit on top?
It might 🤷♀️
Can you adjust the RGB colors on the fan or is it just continuously cycle through RGB colors?
I don't even remember now. I go over that in the review
How to do you take the front panel off I’m trying right now but I don’t want to break anything 😂
I need to pull off the very front panel but I’m terrified of breaking it
May I ask u sir? How to turn off the RGB?
Does somebody know how much rpm are the fans spinning on?
Does it support the Deepcool AK620 CPU cooler?
I have the zaku II version of this case, but for some reason the airflow seems restricted and caused my CPU (push/pull configuration) to rise to 80° and my GPU went over 84°+ am I doing something wrong? I have 3 120mm for the top and rear blowing out hot air along with the three pre-installed in the front

Asus tuf 240 aio will fit mounted up top with gskill Trident z neo ram
Great video but how come the image on amazon says that it can take 360mm radiator front and top but you said and it does look like it only takes 240 mm on top???🧐🧐... now I’m not confused. Does this case supports a 360 mm radiator on top?
Nah brah brah not up too. Amazon sometimes makes mistakes on their specs of products
@@KosherTech if I add a 360 AIO, will I still be able to fit a 3080 ?
Hello! I have a little nooby question, the hub is just for the RGB? My motherboard has just 1 fan header and I'm not sure if I need 4 headers to connect every single fan
Yeah can buy a fan splitter and you'll be 💯. Swing by our discord server brah brah we'll help u out discord.gg/f5g7NA4
@@KosherTech hey can I use the 4 stock fans that come with the case? I will get the ryzen 5 1600 AF paired with 1660 Super or ti from MSI like the ventus or gaming x models. I won't overclock and I will just play AAA games and some esports
@@santinico2353 you'll b straight
@@KosherTech thank you!
I will order this case for my next build. It's on sale for 69€ normal price over 100€
Hi thanks for you putting in top, as sales shop said 360m rad won’t fit or not recommend to put in the front. For heat.. it looks better on the top.. give me an idea as I got a 240 mil coming as well so I’ll put it in the top. Thanks man. I’m hoping it will fit 6800 XT. In , as 320mm size the same as the available size in that slot for a graphics card.
Did they fit?
Would you recommend this or phanteks p400a? (if they were the same price)
This! Or checkout the Montech Air X, also a 🔥 case
Been searching for a while and you answered 2 of my questions. 1. How many RGB Fans can the controller hold? (6) 2. How a 240mm AIO can fit? (depends on luck since 240's aren't natively supported by the case) Thanks for those details. That strap test is big bonus.

I just want to see what will the cable management be, but it shocks me
I thought I was the only one who couldn't neatly cable manage in this case. It's not big deal TBH nobody sees it. I like the look enough to not care.
Hi, can you tell me how did you open the front case which cover front fan.. sry for my bad english
Pull from the bottom
does it fit 2 120mm fans up top?
What is this instrumental for this song name and nice pc 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Does it support matx mother board?

I don't want to sound like a critic but next time (on your own) explor the case while it is empty look for screws that keep things like the filter in place. Look at how you can place the Hard Drives and the radiator Just explore it a bit more But all in all this was stil a good review for me and a good video
I covered all that in the vid
Which Strix card did you use for the size test? 2080?
Nah RX 580
@@KosherTech gotcha! Awesome video!
Thanks brah brah 💯
Does this case have a dust filter in front of the three fans?

how to remove front filter?
How did u take out the front panel for the fans
Just pull it out
@@ese1588 like how
@@tatic5545 I pulled from the bottom. Like try and lift it up and don’t be scared to use force
hello, i have a question. if i use the stock fans that are already installed in the case, how do i know i have enough fan slots in the motherboard? i was looking at a video of ASUS TUF GAMING B550 PLUS motherboard and it only has 2x 4-pin slots and the case has 4 fans?
There is rgb hub included in the case, so you hust need to connect 1
There is fan hub behind the case where all the fans are connected and from the hub you plug one cable to the motherboard to power the fans and other cable to power the rgb lights. So you only need one fan header
I have a asus strix B550F gaming and this case does not go well. There’s no space for anything on top.
I bought this case GT301 and tried to put all components ASUS TUF. Unfortunately, the ASUS TUF LC 240 RGB did not fit in the upper part of the case because it bumps into the RAM memories T-Force Delta RGB TUF Alliance DDR4 (2x8) 😢 😞
Same, I sold it since by put it in the front all componets run way hoter
well the T-Force Delta area pretty large RAM dimms aren't them? will there be the same problem with the Corsair Vengance PRO RGB?
