this is one heck of a case is that what this is meet the thermaltake Corp III snow edition a fully modular wall mountable chassis with dedicated support from ITX to ATX form factors across the spectrum it'll even fit motherboards larger than that but if you're aiming for a more mainstream build you can fit so much into this case it's also very modular as you'll see here shortly for instance the P 3s include optional riser cards and modular PCIe slots that can be oriented vertically or horizontally additionally ITX builds allow for the PSU to be turned fans side out useful especially if you've got flashy RGB functionality built in this thermaltake tough power grand se power supply is an excellent combination of efficiency reliability and customizability its tier 2 80 plus gold rated and fully modular as well a button on the back allows you to switch between several pre-programmed color combinations the same goes for the 360 millimeter AIO thermal take sent over as well is number as much RGB as possible and they definitely delivered this red is not only huge but fitted with three 120 millimeter ring fans that's two eyes packing full RGB potential however the controller included with the kit does not come with a wireless remote meaning you have to place it somewhere accessible if you expect to change the color scheme often the radiator combo pushes my 6700 K to 4.7 gigahertz at 1.32 volts temperatures after about 30 minutes of out of 64 peg 75 C so nothing too crazy with the right fan curve pump and fin density this one will outperform a crack in X 62 hands down and for about the same price granted this one is significantly longer now because this case will be my test bench for the foreseeable future I decided to opt for a platform that more of you will have that's more mainstream that's why I went with the 6700 K instead of an X 99 CPU it's still very overclockable compatible with zi1 and zi2 70 motherboards and will not murder your wallet as quickly as its higher core counterparts will the motherboard is as rocks very own Z 270 killer hence the large K spanning the entire board and I must say I'm thrilled they've included these unique accents they seem to span the entire new lineup of Intel boards expect the same from asrock in the case of a m4 16 gigabytes of group ddr4 silver to match the silver and well okay this is weird it's a 4 gigabyte AMD r9 380 that's right a 300 series AMD GPU until my two 1080s arrived for my custom water loot build that's coming very soon by the way I'm not willing to part with the 10 70s in Heisenberg and this thing is an absolute steal on line 120 US dollars check eBay and other retailers just temporary this is a test bench after all so any component is subject to change and be tested here so you're probably wondering at this point why I chose the thermal take a Corp III as my test bench because that's not what it was intended for right well it's an open air case as our most test benches but unlike most of those the p3 includes proper radiator mounting plenty of clean cable management space via the back door and a super clean aesthetic especially with the acrylic window in place for my purposes however I don't expect I'll have this window on for very long the metallic posts that hold it in place though are extremely heavy and sturdy you can lift the entire PC by these handles here it's perfectly fine but are also completely removable as is most of the cases structure cable guiding cutouts and rubber grounded sleeves wrap around the motherboard standoffs and support for up to a 420 m120 support for up to 420 millimeter AIO is available so what do I not like about the case well not much Thermaltake kind of nails in here I do wish the cable cut out toward the bottom of higher up but I'm aware that they want support for extended units completely fine separate glass would be a nice alternative to acrylic and I'm told of that version is in the work so no harm there either I don't like the fact that there's no slot for the rear i/o shield that is admittedly a bit weird I don't see any harm in including one but at this point I really feel like I'm just being picky everything was beautifully thought through it just so happens they're not all of its design choices complement this build factor here it's a trade off of being universally supported so can it really be called a case if it's open-air I really think so it supports everything a case would and includes a removable back panel for hard drive and SSD support cable storage and excess peripherals it just doesn't have sides that's really it but that's ok this case isn't for everyone but it's for me and my NEADS and I wouldn't change a thing about it you can find links to all parts featured here in this video's description by the way I think these components from thermaltake make for an excellent test bench what do you think if you liked this video be sure to give it a thumbs up thumbs down if you feel the complete opposite click the subscribe button if you haven't already I will catch you in the next video this is Salazar studio thanks for learning with this
