what's the first thing that you think of when you hear the term RGB because it's everywhere people love RGB for some reasons some people hate it for other reasons and if you were to take a few steps back a few years ago gaming companies started implementing VAR gb in their gaming peripherals gaming keyboards had that he might hide that and now we're slowly starting to see gaming headset adapting that feature which i think is pointless because when you're wearing an RGB gaming headset you're really not noticing what's going on because you're so focused on gameplay but I think in my opinion that's just a marketing strategy but why is it so important why are people embracing RGB why is it a must-have feature in a gaming peripheral or gaming mouse or perhaps even a GP or a motherboard it's pretty straightforward because people want to color coordinate their setup to a particular color scheme so in my case I love the color blue I'd love to have a blue team set up but sometimes I'd like to change things here and there depending on my mood and I want to set it with my own color schemes so there are few lighting effects that you can take advantage of with RGB if you have that implementation now we're slowly starting to see case manufacturers take advantage of that and that's awesome because when you have case lighting inside built into the case you can take advantage of its lighting effects through software and you can control the lighting effects through software I'm so excited to show you guys what I've been working with the past few days and you can sort of take a look at it behind me right there this is the novice 450 ROG from the folks over at NZXT now I know what you're thinking it wasn't this case around a few years back yes you are right and in fact Dimitri has taken an in-depth look at the case so I'll leave a link in the description if you're interested in the full review this case is a little different from its older brother because NZXT has collaborated with ROG to emphasize the RGB lighting compatibility with a chooses or a sink and I'll get to that shortly it's also geared towards users who are picked up in ROG motherboard in our og GPU build and rog based gaming PC and I just can't believe I said ROG more than two times but regardless let's dive in right after this creativity is fueled by the best instruments it doesn't always come easy and in the process you often realize how important quality is the Rd 400 by OCC gives you quality and speed with M de to interface the schieben and flash and a PCI bracket making it possible to focus on what matters investing storage that makes a difference with a five-year advance warranty alright let's address the price point of the Knox's 450 ROG because it does not come cheap price at $180 it competes against the Atlantic's evolved 80 xt g the 570 hex from corsair the master case maker 5 from Coolermaster and a few more so what makes this case stand out from the competition well there's the ROG branding with the subtle aggressive design elements on the side panels the exterior has received a gun great finish complimenting a gun great paint motherboard and I'll admit the analysis for 50 was originally designed to go hand in hand as an ROG exclusive gaming PC I mean just look at it everything from the angular front and top panels to the aggressive vents for proper air flow describes NZXT slub 4 ROG now the make things even better this case features or a sync RGB lighting technology what that means is that there's basically RGB lighting everywhere and I mean everywhere and that is software controllable including the under glow the 2 LED strips can say - I see one at the top and one at the bottom the logo engraved into the power supply shroud and the power button has also received this treatment I have to admit the attention to detail in terms of lighting has not been compromised and I appreciate MCHC for setting that standard and that's the main selling point for the Noctis 450 ROG or a sync allows all the LEDs display the exact same color literally exact color coordination since it comes from one source which is a motherboard there is something that I'd love in Dixie to address in their next revision and that is the GPU compatibility for example I used the Strix Arts 480 to test the aura compatibility and to my surprise the included hardware bracket got in the way when mounting this card obviously eliminating that solved the issue if you're planning to take advantage of all six drive bays you might be disappointed the rest of the components were thrown in for aesthetic purposes for example the mighty Kraken X 62 was mounted on top of the 1700 X the showcase that gorgeous infinity edge display speaking of these 1700 X I'm currently in the process of switching over to it as my primary rendering workhorse so I'm super excited for that and stay tuned for that video for the benchmarks the rog crosshair 6 here on motherboard was an excellent fit for the case because it features two 12-volt RGB headers one of which gets populated by the four pin RGB cable for the case lining and it works fantastic the dominators special edition memory kit from Corsair adds a little bit of character to the build showcasing the white LEDs but if you're serious about color coordination G skills tried and Zr GB memory would be an excellent fit as not only it looks sexy AF but it's orison compatible as well taking a look at the software it's fairly simple and intuitive to control lighting in my case I'm greeted with various lighting effects tabs like static breathing color cycle rainbow comment flash and - which sounds ridiculous strobing option for the LEDs to react according to system temperature and music each can be set to either synchronized across components or set individually including the PCH districts and the GPU I wish there was brightness control options to slightly tone down the color but perhaps we could expect that in a firmer update well guys there you have it a simple and short showcase video featuring the NZXT Noctis 450 ROG I was definitely excited when this case showed up in the studio because I had the right components lying around to take advantage of the lying capabilities with Aurra the ROG crosshair 60 or motherboard was a beast and it's a great foundation if you're looking to build an X 370 based high-end rising gaming system the other components were sort of hand-picked the memory was just lying around but it looks pretty cool the Corsair memory just fantastic and also blends in really well with the set but I did have a small wish I did wish for something that NTC could work on the future and that is support for their new a aya coolers to take advantage of the Orlan capabilities because I've used the X 62 or I've currently used the X 62 to cool these 1,700 x inside that case and the only way to control lighting is through a cam software but maybe a Susan NZXT can work some way to sort of link both those software so we can synchronize lighting effects throughout the entire systems or components so I think they'll be pretty awesome but it's also challenging but I want to hear your guys or I want to hear your thoughts about this build or this case what do you guys think about it are you sold on the whole RGB thing plus what are your thoughts on or capabilities leave a comment down below I'm evil with hurricane X thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one oh hey there NCI XCOM is Canada's leading a tailor for anything your mind desires just keep within those categories which are plenty and get tempted by the weekly deals visit ncx calm for all those sweet deals
