For airflow purposes I probably would have put the exhaust fan in the top, above the CPU. Or in the side, beside the IO shield. I do like the airflow guide on the bottom to funnel the intake right into the GPU. I'd also flip the power supply and have an opening in the bottom for it to intake outside air, but that likely would make no real difference overall. I am curious what the component temps are like under load. Really cool, unique build though. I like how it showcases the strength a well constructed wood structure has. For anyone that doesn't build their own PCs, they can be pretty heavy. The components in there aren't the heaviest, but there's a decent amount of weight that's being suspended off the desk surface with those offset feet. And I'm sure it could support a lot more than what's in it.
First off thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it so damn much! In regards to your comment...the highest the CPU reached under max load was right around 80° and that was reading was taken towards the end of a long gaming session, with multiple different game titles. It usually sits around 75 give or take, these CPUs are designed to run as high as 90° and can run quite high day in and day out for many years, but we obviously want to keep it as cool as possible. Please forgive the lack of design, this was my very first PC build EVER, so needless to say the designs will get much better in time, but in response to your questions/statements, it had no air flow issues heat rises, and the intakes are low, and the exhaust fan is high, and it's actually almost directly behind the hottest part in most cases, so I think the layout is quite well thought 🙂 and yes, it is very strong and weighs 23 lbs, so not to heavy at all 👍👍 Again, thanks for watching and commenting it, really helps my tiny channel haha 😊😊
Thank you soo much! I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I will keep it up and use your words of encouragement as fuel for the fire! I wish you the best!
Wow I really appreciate that comment! Honestly I just started taking the Channel seriously last year so I can't expect much in the way of subscribers, and my first 2 videos were nothing to brag about haha but I can defiantly promise you more quality stuff like this will be coming in the future! Again thank you for your kind words, I wish you the best!
Only 20 years or so, it's not really that old, but I'm only 29 years old and I use to play with these pieces of wood as a child, so they're old to me 😊🤗 once the wood is surfaced it's basically brand new again, and yes also very strong and stable 👍👍 thanks for watching! Take care!
Beautiful! I loved the beginning how you did a sit-down talk and I love how you did the camera shots and your camera quality is amazing! Keep up the good work my amazing uncle
First off, many thanks, and much appreciated 😎👌 Second, when you buy a CPU that comes with a stock cooler the thermal paste comes pre-applied, at least it does for AMD CPUS, I have no experience or knowledge on Intel CPUs, but I'd assume the same thing, with that said I would definitely recommend putting a little extra because it's not enough in my opinion and doesn't always spread out to cover the entire area, I've noticed when taking them apart for maintenance the pre-applied paste covers most but not the entire CPU, I've noticed the edges wanting for a little extra 🙏 you can definitely get away with the pre-applied paste though, I'm just thorough haha 🤪👌 Don't forget to like, share and subscribe too, lots of good stuff coming 😉 cheers!
So far so good, the highest the CPU got so far under max load was right around 80° and that was reading was taken towards the end of a long gaming session, with multiple different game titles. It usually sits around 75 give or take, these CPUs are designed to run at 90° or 95° I forgot which specific temperature exactly but they can run quite high for supposedly the entire life, but we obviously want to keep it as cool as possible 😉 Please forgive the lack of design, this was my very first PC build ever, so needless to say they will get much better haha but in response to your ponderings, it had no air flow issues 😊👌 heat rises, and the intakes are low, and the exhaust fan is high, and it's actually almost directly behind the hottest part in most cases, so I think the layout is quite well thought out not to toot my own horn lol Thanks for your input and appreciate you watching the whole video 📹 🙂 👍 take care!
@@104Woodworks I think it's a masterpiece and maybe even a project you wish to revisit for another person's build (or perhaps more content). Either way, I really appreciate it. If the numbers are good, then you shouldn't have much to worry about, if you keep it clean inside. I love all-wood PC case builds. They're too few and far between on UA-cam. Definitely subscribed!
@grelkath oh man, I really appreciate that, I have another pc build coming soon, no wood case but there will be a little wood working aspect incorporated into the build, also don't worry there will be more wood PC cases coming in the future, I plan to build and sell them to the public so people can use them for their own builds, but I still have a lot of trial and error before that happens haha Again, thanks so much for the sub! I'll try my best not to disappoint 😎 👌
Hello right back at cha man! I'm glad you like my shop! and I absolutely appreciate your kind words! Stay tuned because I'm not done yet 😉 much content to make, and I'm only getting started!
Hey Riley! -- so glad to see you at it again. This project displays absolutely master's level woodworking skills and the presentation is way up there too. I have been a subscriber since probably day one and have gone through your two or three channel name changes😄😁 and evolving formats and video skills. I remember always welcoming notifications of your new videos because they were never dull and your knowledge and personality made them fascinating. That's right, including the ones where you just floated around on the lake or went harvesting those fern things -- sorry forgot the name -- or built an animal pen/corral or built and ran a sawmill or just told us about your life. Watching your videos is always like one long existential moment and educational to boot! Please keep going. Thanks from Jim here in Happy Camp, California.
Wow! That's soooo fantastic to hear Jim! I was wondering if or when you'd pop back up and say hey haha and here you are, I appreciate the support man, it's quite a undertaking to start making quality content and I still have a LONG waaaay to go, but after much practice, a lot of tweaking and gathering the confidence to push on, I can honestly say that I'm starting to get the hang of it and have no plans to slow down, much more is on the way and as time goes on I'll be getting much faster so you won't have to wait so long, but it's very important to crawl before you walk and walk before you run hahah! Anyways, thanks for sticking with me Mr. Jim, it's much appreciated 👏 and I look forward to you seeing more of my creations, cheers man! Yours Truly Riley 😎👌
@@104Woodworks Thanks Riley -- you know it doesn't all have to be perfect -- I'm sure we would all like casual videos from you too! -- warts and all so to speak! Just keep them coming on a regular basis and you'll get a big audience.
@Onkelcem Greetings my man! Hope all is well over there and much appreciation for your comment! It did indeed take a lot of work, I'm actually going to be designing different cases to sell to the public along with plans in case anyone wants to DIY it 😎👌
@docolemnsx haha no, I didn't know the feature was there at the time, my band saw mill doesn't have a retractable guide rail, but this shop bandsaw does, just wasn't familiar with the equipment and only noticed that I was doing it wrong once I looked at the recorded footage and researched different components haha live and learn, that's why I said "I'm still getting use to how it works and the best way to use it" 😉👌 Any other thoughts about other parts of the video ? 📹
@@104Woodworks mate just the fact that this was your first PC build and you've actually built the case is a big deal. Not exactly fond of the look of the finished product but that's not my thing to criticize, I'm just here to learn. I've always been interested in case modding, my first attempt at cutting up a case and painting it was back in the 2000s when I was still a kid and when instead of LEDs you'd have to use neons (these were pretty fking sick btw, too bad they don't make them anymore). Now I got the tools to make myself a wooden case like you did so I've been researching the topic thoroughly. Only problem I see is that laser cutters, 3D printers and CNCs seem to grow on trees in America Land and there are a few guys just designing crazy things on their laptop, sending it to the robot and calling it a day. The results are great, but not the woodworking I'm looking for 😅 I have a few ideas for a design to put effort in, but the process involves hands on tools most of all, with some power carving... Anyway, hope to see more wood case builds from you, gtg now so take care!
@docolemnsx sorry for the late response mate, been busy milling lumber and most recently I began house renovations, more videos coming later this year haha I appreciate your words, to be honest I like the case but there are things I would change and this was only my first attempt so I sure they'll get better as time goes one ... hopefully lol 🤞😂 Those neon things sounds pretty cool! I'm turning 30 next year so I would have been anywheres from 5-15 years old at in the 2000's, feels like a life time ago! Sounds awesome! You should make a video of your creations and tag me in it and I'll give it a good watch when the time comes 😎👌 Yeah, although I appreciate machines when it comes time to batch cut or make money from woodworking, it still isn't as real as doing most or all the work by hand. Either way, I say do it up man! Just Do It 😉
This is ART. Finished product gave me goosebumps. 👏🏼
@@TTVxWhiteFang oh wow! That's freakin music to my ears! Thank you soooo much 🙏
@@104Woodworks Of course! Love the wood themes or wood paneled PC case.. so this was like a dream come true

Great build and design, but i hope you applied thermal paste before the cpu cooling fan.
