DeepCool GENOME Review - Sidemounted GPU = WIN?

2016-08-17
with the ability to sidemount your GPU and also a 360 ml water cooling system installed this case is far from the norm so let's take a deep look at the deep pool genome welcome back to tech es city this is brand coming to you guys today with a review of the deep cooled genome and now I recently completed a build in this case although it's not fully finished and I'll talk about that later I did manage to get a grasp of everything that I like and don't like about this case and now first things first it comes in and around about 250 USD or if you're down under about 400 AUD and at that price it comes with the pre-installed water cooling kit so that's the main sale of this case though is it worth the money let's find out so first things first with this case I love the open wide window I mean I think that's definitely a thing that's coming into the PC enthusiast tech market where you want to show off your hardware and even if you're mounting it like I am on a desk you'll be able to get it as a background prop so kudos to do cool for getting that right now another thing I do like about this case is that bottom off enclosure there for the power supply I think it's a very neat thing to have your power supply isolated from your build where you've got those ugly cables and then you can just put in extensions and you've got a pretty good-looking build they'll get on the thing that definitely impressed me the most and that was the side mounted GPU option there so it comes with a 16 slot razor cable there which you can extend to their little game storm accessory there and it just makes this build so much different to normal builds in that you can just sign mount a GPU and it looks very different to your standard graphics card in slot there so kudos to deep cool I think if that's one thing that's going to sell this case it's definitely the side mounted option there even though I did have some problem setting it up initially and that's one thing that I will critique about this case is that the screw didn't go one of the screws didn't go in properly there and also when I'll side mounting the GPU these screws had a tough time going in the rear there and actually fitting the GPU 100% flush the moving along with the build I like the fact that this is a mid sized ATX case although it's just very spacious inside and also that 360 mil rat is just doesn't get in the way at all it's also got three fans attached to it and they're all white and black LED themed fans the white LEDs on there they also have it the rear there a black om themed found although for me I would have personally like to have sinned deep cool just add an additional game a storm fan there at the back and for me personally I replace this black fan with a white and black game of storm fan that I had around or if you're on a budget you could probably pull out the third-most further as fan on the radiator and just swap that with the black one taking a look behind the case say you've got ample room for cable management you've also got the option to mount some SSDs on the back trays there and they'll be completely out of sight out of mind you've also got the hard drive cages there which support two 3.5 inch drive there and you've also got no option for five point two five inch drive bays there which is something that I personally like being a hardware enthusiast that has an external DVD drive I don't really see the need for a five point two five inch drive bay though some people would need that and I would like to point that out in this review they're looking further on the rear of this case you've also got that big cut out there for CPU cooler installation and also the edges on this case were very blunt nothing was sharp at all so you will not find yourself cutting yourself in this case at all moving on to the front of the case you've got the ability to detach the front there which will reveal more of the radiator and give you the option to mount some different configurations that fans there whether it be a 20 mil fan to 140 s or to 120 fans you can do that with this case you can also mount a radiator there I believe that to up to a 240 ml round on the front if you wish to as well and also on that now you can take off the plastic grille on the top if you wish to clean your radiator in the future also on the top of the case there you've got two USB 3 ports your power reset button and your headphone and mic in Jack there looking at the bottom of the case you've also got a dust filter there for the power supply which is easily removable and you can clean that with these as well you've also got four rubber feet there which grip any surface really well so now we've got the intricate out of the way we can talk about the case itself it comes in a white or black configuration then you've also got the option for a window or no side window though I think the window is the best choice with this case as it looks absolutely gorgeous both on the outside and on the inside though on that note I did have some problems with screwing some of these things in here like the drive bays took me a little bit of a tough time there to get some of those screws in and also that graphics card at the back when I wanted the side mount I had a tough time again with some of those screws I also found the temperatures the 360 ml water cooler itself to be pretty mediocre of best and I've tested a lot of coolers in the past found my temperatures at 4.4 gigahertz on an X 99 system going all the way up to around about eighty degrees in a pretty cool environment of around about 24 degrees besides that I can't really help but like the build quality of this case and the weight of this case it's not too heavy but at the same time it's not too light I can think of other case manufacturers out there that make cases that will literally leave you with a hernia if you try to carry it anywhere another thing I will talk about with this case is the lighting of it that is the white lighting that you see inside this case is actually lit up from all those gamers storm fans that I'm using with the white LEDs on them also the cooler that goes well that's the block that goes onto the CPU does have an LED on it itself and that does have a breathing effect though I would have liked to have seen that having all on effect as well same with the radiator on the front of the case that has only the ability to have a white LED that does this subtle breathing effect and also as I said before I haven't actually finished this build yet that's why it's kind of like the cable management is really ugly at the moment I'm actually waiting on an 8-pin GPU power cable there to finish off the build and also I'm thinking of putting on the arctic cooler on that 980ti to have that whole white and black theme just stand out and also overclock my GPU a little bit better hopefully anyway that's about it for me today guys if you like this video be sure to hit that like button if you have any questions or comments about today's video or review on the deep cool genome then be sure to drop a comment in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can also in a nutshell this case it is one awesome looking unit definitely that side mounted GPU is one of a kind I think you're going to be seeing a lot more of that definitely a deep cool feature there from deep cool and I will say that yeah there are some little problems though if you watch the review and you can get through them then it's not such a big deal because the end result is definitely worth it hey guys hope you enjoyed the review and I'll catch you in the next Tech video very soon peace out for now bye there's underwear in the b-roll it's a rag it's really a rag hi there they've all I I
