what we've got on the table here is the new deep cool matrix 70 which we're going to be doing a full-fledged 4k video editing PC on now this just isn't any overpriced 4k video editing rig where money's no object I've actually done this with a budget in mind using all the best value parts that you'd want for something of a caliber of editing 4k videos now I picked this up on a bargain 32 gigabyte kit of twenty eight hundred megahertz memory and I'll put the link for a lot of this stuff in the description below we've got a 240 gigabyte SSD 2 terabyte hard drive x3 no 9 as rock fatality motherboard 12 core 24 thread 29:20 acts 850 watt power supply and an r/t X 27 t has 8 gigabytes of vram and is a pretty good choice for video editing now deep core did send in this matrix 70 and also their 240 Pro ants and fans which you can add those two elements in if you wish to go with the deep cool look but this case in particular is going to be the main focus we saw this earlier in the year at CES in its final form it's coming at a 75 US dollars in Australia about a hundred and nineteen Aussie dollars now this case at its price point compared to the competitors options wants to offer quick release on the front panel the back and also the side where you can easily quickly clean your filters and inside and change parts if you need to do that you can just detach it via two screws at the top on the side and at the rear two screws on the rear the back panel had no problems that can sort of hang freely if you leave it but the tempered glass side panel here had some sort of low rider issues where it was hanging out very far and I was really worried to the point where I left it there for about 20 seconds and it fell off completely so if you are getting one of these cases I wouldn't leave this tempered glass panel hanging around I just take it off and not rely on the sort of quick release open feature where you can have that winged look and you can mount at the front of the case three 140 ml fans or a 360 ml rad and at the top you can do the exact same thing in terms of graphics cards you can support up to a 380 ml long card and the case also supports extended ATX boards and just a quick interlude this hard drive cage has seriously been banged up and shipping I mean I'm lucky the tempered glass isn't busted if you guys didn't know the last deep cool case that I got sent in the mail had broken glass everywhere it just came pre shattered I'll put the link to that video up here if you haven't seen it already but I don't know deep cool you've got to use a different shipping carrier because this is the second time in a row that a product has come damaged I'm guessing that side tempered glass lowrider aspect as well as a result of the damage and chipping but anyway I'm sure your luck is not going to be as bad as mine we've got four SSD drive mounts here and also the option to mount an additional two 2.5 inch drives down in the cages or two 3.5 inch drives the power supply mounts in through the rear here has its own separate dust filter and speaking of dust filters you get detachable dust filters at the front and also the top of the case and lastly the deep cool logo down the bottom is transparent so you can mount some RGB LED strips behind that if you wish for it to light up with that said let's put together this whole rig and see how it turns out and we'll also be testing the temperatures of this case with the side panel on vs. off very simple test to do to see if the airflow is good and with that said we're going to be mounting 3mf 120 s's at the front of this case which nowadays is the classical enthusiasts set up three fans here radiator at the top and also one fan exhausting at the rear so here we are now at the next day with the matric 70 and this honestly took me so much longer than I'm used to spending on a PC build the reason being is we've got so much RGB cables to route at the back so this is my first complaint I guess is if you're using three deep cool fans at the front coupled with their 240 Pro then their hub only has five inputs for the fans so I ended up having to use two hubs for the RGB fence and it just ended up being two different connectors to control the RGB it was seriously a bit annoying when it came to all these cables and having to manage that and then also zip tie them a couple with the fact that I've got to use two controllers now if I want to control the RGB itself because of the case in how perform will get onto some test very soon but first off I did manage to test out the 240 Pro there all-in-one cooler and this actually really surprised me I came into this thinking this would be another mediocre deep cool water cooler which in the past I thought their air coolers have performed a lot better than water coolers but this honestly kept up with the age 59 Platinum RGB and that's my favorite all-in-one at the moment and that's a 2 80 mil with 240 ml fans this is a 240 ml solution did very well when I tested on the 9900 kf5 giga it came in at 98 degrees and the noises were very well controlled but here's where the noises differ a little bit to the h 159 Platt which has its own included controller for those fan speeds which is automatically controlled this here you have to use your motherboards PWM so noises and fan speeds are going to differ depending on what fan settings you have set in your motherboard but in terms of the actual cooler and the performance it did extremely well but here's the kicker though on a m4 with the test I'm doing here I'm actually not really going to recommend it because the block size is way too small for a m4 CPUs it's probably covering half the CPU at best but it's fine with a 12 core and you will get away with it but if you're stepping things up to a 16 core or the 24 32 cores then I would recommend getting a cooler with a bigger block that covers the whole CPU area but in terms of the cooler itself they have made the right improvements in the right direction they tell me it's got a three-phase motor and zouk Onan ceramic bearings and also internal dynamic pressurized control very fancy terms but at the end of the day I just like to sit down do the tests and the numbers will always speak for the product itself and so the 240 pro is actually pretty impressive that does come in at 120 USD and 174 AUD so you will have to like the look of this cooler because there are options out there that do come in a similar price point and do provide lower noise like the H 115 IRG Platinum for example that's still my favorite all-in-one the noises are just that little bit quieter especially on full fan speeds but lastly now with this case we're gonna run some tests while the side panel is off and then put it back on while we're playing games and then check the before and after temperatures which is the most important thing to see if this case has been designed properly so we just finished up testing the temperatures of this case in Apex legends and the GPU temperatures mainly which is what we're focusing on I set the fan speeds manually to 80% and with the side panel on it got up to sixty degrees while playing games in a 26 degree ambient environment and then with the side panel off it went down to 55 degrees so it's a case that is mediocre in terms of its attributes for cooling down your components inside I guess was that said it's more of a bling orientated case but it's still far from the worst if you guys watch my $500 PC recently you would have seen the temperatures there we're about 10 degrees with the side panel on versus off so that was pretty bad this one here is about 5 degrees some of the better examples like the f5 40 for example the temperatures actually decrease when you put the side panel on because it allows it the airflow to get directed from the front out through the rear in a channel and when you take the panel off that channels disrupted but regardless of all that this case is coming in at 75 USD or at least that's what I can find it for from B&H photo I think it's gonna be released right around when this video here is released in Australia I think it's a hundred and nineteen Aussie dollars and both these prices I believe don't come with any RGB fans you just get one fan at the back of the case and the gets the distinguishing factors here from other cases is that glass panel above the power supply that sort of is actually a nice addition I don't mind it I thought it was a little bit tacky then I started building it and I realize it's actually handy for putting in modular power supplies and routing your cables and then after you install it if your graphics card has some lighting on it in the case of this r-tx 2070 Galax card does have the under glow and it does reflect off the glass at the bottom quite nicely at the front of the case however the dust filter needs to be changed it's one of those tacky ones that sort of has the clips on the edge and it blocks air flow I thought you meant to have the dust filter in front of your fans but in this case it's behind and I do believe it actually affects air flow as we saw with those temperatures but having the dust filter behind does allow these three fans at the front to shine through and look really good in terms of Ling so I guess that's a trade-off Jenna the dust filters up top and down bottom they're very easy to remove I do like those styles so I wish they implemented that at the front of the case and in terms of airflow coming in from the front it is a little bit weak I'd like to see them and prove that but you can't alleviate that a little bit by just pressing the button and opening that up but you're still going to have the front hanging out if so and the last thing I liked about this case was the top power buttons and input outputs had a nice glow ring around all the ports themselves this was actually a nice touch I thought that and also the glass above the power supply where two good additions implemented with the matrix 70 but on that everything was really straightforward with this build very easy to build in despite having a lot of cables and being very time consuming it wasn't difficult to get it all done so to speak and there was no real sharp edges or anything that was intrusive so solid build quality solid case but it does leave a little bit to be desired in terms of a mid-range build it's pretty good for that but if you're going for real high-end components and you need really good airflow most to consider something else but at the same time this case is only $75 or at least it's meant to come in at $70 I think that's what the matrix 70 stands for for me personally though I did like the matrix 55 with three RGB fans up front I thought that was hitting really hard for the price point this has a little bit of a different aesthetic with some additional features over that and it depends if you want those features and if they're worth the money or if you're going for a non overclocked building you like the aesthetic of this case and I can recommend it but if you are going for a high and build with like a 20 80 TI for example and overclocking CPU and GPU then I would recommend going for something with better airflow guys that's about it for today's review of the matrix 70 if you enjoyed this one - be sure to hit that like button also I will say probably the most impressive thing to come out of today's video was actually the captain 240 pro cooler the all-in-one that's made some significant improvements over the previous generation deep cool all in ones of course the support and the block size 40 r4 could use some improvements in my opinion but besides that there's only some little things to fix up and I think deep core will be on top of their game in terms of these mf1 20s if you want to get them I'd really only be getting them for the looks in terms of airflow they're not that great and lastly although I'm controlling this via the controllers it does have five volt addressable RGB support from the motherboard so if you don't want to use a controller then you can use the 5 volt header in this case the x3 now I bought a heavier actually didn't have one of those headers on board so I did have to use the controllers but the good thing about the hardware is that there's no software that won't eat up any resources but all that aside let us know what you think of the deep cool matrix 70 and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon he's out for now BAE you
