Hey guys! I'm getting ready for a new build and I'm curious if anyone has used this case or has any feedback on what they think of it. I haven't seen a case like this but it looks like it would provide good cooling. The motherboard I/o and gpu are top mounted so the gpu is vertical, seemingly to create better air flow. It has good reviews I'm just not sure about the company or if this layout is more for flash than function. Some pics from the Amazon page included as well. Thanks for your feedback!_20191219_130312.thumb.JPG.1cf84527fc5b84290222f4c300f05e3b.JPG_20191219_130408.thumb.JPG.5634b88b5527e809b25b5bdea3e8f02c.JPG_20191219_130442.thumb.JPG.78b87d4d0dbe00acd49fba202e1cc1d7.JPG_20191219_130252.thumb.JPG.18a9c34863b9f2eeeda3a646b3a6f4bf.JPG

Firstly looking at that case what I can see is very restricted front air intake (at least from pics provided) which will cause quite high temps, also if the front is restricted and all hit is going up anyway there is nothing on bottom too push it up. Very weird design imo. If you want that type of layout there is other cases (can’t remember from top of my head which one now)

   @Whiro tag or quote will do the trick

Thank you for the feedback! I saw it while I was browsing and it looked interesting but I'm not 100% on how well it functions. It looks like a newer case so I haven't been able to track down much about it other than the few reviews on Amazon.

Never heard of that brand. That sort of design isn't anything new though. It is just a case that has an inverted motherboard. The likes of Silverstone and Bequiet have cases with 90 deg board rotation.

 

 

Good to know. After seeing this I was curious if other companies made cases with a similar layout but I might just end up going a more conventional route. Thanks for the info!

An inverted case can have better cooling than a conventional one though. The Silverstone Raven RV02 for example is one of the best cases in that respect.

You’re right in that but biggest difference between Raven RV02 and this case is that Raven have all intake fans on the bottom which makes airflow great going from bottom to the top, this case in the topic is completely opposite trying to do same as normal cases doing (front to rear). That’s why imo it’ll not work to great anyway, specially that gpu will be hugely on the way of airflow

That is one difference, but the case pictured above does have the three intake fans blowing directly at the gpu so that will help with temps. As for cpu you would probably want an AIO rather than an air cooler.

Correct. A good apples to apples comparison would be the Coolermaser SL600M
