@@martinmonsterbale1305absolutely agreed. It’s not a tall case by any means, but the length and GPU support etc is awesome. To be fair, with slim fans fitted to the thick radiator the Freezer III would’ve fit. The cooling wouldn’t have been quite as wholesome though
@@blatant6500 it wouldn’t, honestly. The IO shield was the smallest of any motherboard I own and it still wouldn’t clear by quite a long shot. Perhaps you had a motherboard which has a removable IO plate there could be a slim chance… or just fit slim fans to the Freezer III instead 🫡
PC part picker can really help you with some of this. They generally do the research to make sure components like coolers and other things fit inside cases. It is a good place to start, you can configure a system in a case and see if anything throws a conflict error.
@@AgentKenshin PC Part Picker wouldnt have caught this though (i know, because i have it in my build list right now). but its not big deal buying parts that dont fit. you just RMA them and get something else. Hopefully your existing PC still works though haha. because then yea, it does suck.
Hi Matt... You're excelling more and more with your videos every time. Really strong. 👍👍 I'm full of excitement and joy every time you post a new video. Love it 💯❤🙏
Hey, I just started to watch your video and I couldn't wait to express this: How amazing was that introduction of your vide, I really loved it. Really original. Thank you for your amazing content.
I just came across your channel as this was the first video on this case. Your production is insane!! I was able to fully understand this case, and loved the airflow section. Music on point as well. Only thing I'm still left curious about is if phanteks t30 fans would fit in this beauty.
Why did you swap the argb fan on the radiator? Was it because they are better fans or for asthetics? Pls answer since I am doing a nearly identical build.😅
The song at the end is Nightcap - Fire (Instrumental Version). It's on Epidemic Sound, a service that licenses music for creators, and I would guess the other songs also from there.
I was exactly looking forward to seeing the arctic cooler freezer III (240) fit in this optimized for liquid cooling case... or any miniitx case ... so, with the cooler master n200p (similar as this case) I installed my freezer III on the bottom, installed glass side panel, and now lay it on its side (glass down) so intake on the right.... radiator is blowing out left.
Seems like it would be a great case for air cooling. Plenty of air flow with all the panel perforations. And yeah i am a sucker for a tempered glass side panel which i think would be great as an ala carte addition if one so desires. Gotta see a little bling inside especially if its a MATX case ( and not a tiny airflow restricted SFF case).
Question Matt: A lot of people in this kind of dimension with 3 bottom/front inflow are opting to make the rear an inflow not exhaust for positive air pressure... what was your thought in keeping the rear as exhaust...? Also now please do a temp comparison VS the current GOAT of mATX cases.... Ofc I'm talking about the AP201
MATX build off of two champs! Sounds fun 😎 I personally like to the keep the exhaust in a config like that as an exhaust. It helps remove the GPU heat before entering the radiator. The far side of the radiator still collects cool air from the other bottom intake fans just fine. I don’t think the temp differences are enough to question it either way 🫡
I have a question for the author. Why can't the power supply be positioned with the larger fan facing the outer wall, so it draws air from outside instead of hot air from inside the case? As I understand, the external front wall of the case has openings for air intake from the outside. Or there is no holes in front panel?
Great vid as always ❤. So the case is a smaller AP201 with better fan support and looks more aesthetically better. Looks like I found the perfect case for the next build.
Isn't it a lot better to bring in cool air through the radiator (intake through the top and exhaust through the back and bottom? That way GPU hot air won't pass through the radiator and instead immediately exhausted out.
Just ordered mine today with the wood front kinda excited to build it, Have to wait for the new Ultra core in Oct thats whats going to live in this one. Parts & Pieces till then.

Вы сделали большой рывок в качестве съемки! Мои поздравления! Раньше смотрел с удовольствием, сейчас просто ЖДУ НОВЫХ ВИДЕО! Это такой экстаз для перфекциониста. p.s. Корпус крутой но останусь верен своему ap201 🥷
The video was superb quality, top-notch no doubt! and I REALLY LOVED the case but I have a burning question, what is the song or the artist you used? I feel like that was a really nice cherry on the cake
Man I wish this was available when I built my current rig last year. I thought having the biggest case and more upgrade options would be fantastic, but it's such a hassle to do anything with because it's so massive. A small form factor is what I'll probably do next and this case looks great, though I am concerned about GPU clearance so I'll have to double check on that when the time comes if I go with this case. I currently use a 4-slot 4090 and it definitely doesn't seem like it'd fit here.
Shhhhhh Matt. The dirty little secret is MATX is the sweet spot and since it isn't the most popular form factor you can save some bread by going with it over ATX or ITX. Soon as the manufacturers catch on they will raise the prices to match the trend. Let's keep it hush hush shall we?
Such a clean build (as always) ! Arctic freezer 360 definitely have clearance issues in some cases (even bigger ones). But it performs great so they say.
Man! Love watching your videos! Love the case and the simple design. Also the Arctic P12 Max are awesome. I've a build with the Asus Prime AP201 and it is just super quiet and cool. 😎
@@mihaibitza5021I hope you got it!! I just ordered the white version A3 Lian Li case as I’m building a budget itx pc for my wife to use for work and school !!

your videos alway make me want to build everytime... but when I actually building a PC... I feel too tired everytime 🤣🤣🤣... Thank you again your vid complete my day 👍👍👍 EDITED - watched the end... you are not a good dancer LOL
Hey Matt, I love your clean and minimalistic builds and this one is no exception. However, I noticed that this build has a -ve airflow (more air out than in) which will result in more than usual dust build up over time. This is why a +ve airflow is the ideal way to counter this issue which also allows more cool air coming inside for better cooling. Also, since there are no intake fans in the front and the bottom fans have been covered by the the gpu, there is no direct cool airflow coming towards the motherboard which I think is not ideal. Wouldn't it be better if the rear exhaust fan is flipped to act as an intake fan which will result in a +ve airflow in the case and better cooling ? Or am I missing something ?
Looks good :). Love the front input at bottom. In other line of cases, I would love to see something similar to NCORE 100 for MATX boards with really good ventilation :).
@@Mr_Matt_Lee I think that companies must made then modular enought to move around the borders. My PC is in the wall, IO ports on top wouldn't work haha. But for people that use under the table is usefull.
To answer the question “Will the Arctic Freezer III 360 fit in this case?”…. 💀
Crazy how much fits but also how small they’ve made that case
@@martinmonsterbale1305absolutely agreed. It’s not a tall case by any means, but the length and GPU support etc is awesome. To be fair, with slim fans fitted to the thick radiator the Freezer III would’ve fit. The cooling wouldn’t have been quite as wholesome though

My favorite part of your videos is the airflow visualization. It’s so useful to see. Awesome work.
Always answers the question when you see that phat ass GPU installed
Buying parts that end up not fitting is genuinely one of my biggest fears, lol. Another amazing build. I like this trend of small, compact PCs.

brilliantly done Matt
This guys editing is next level, no other tech youtuber can compare

Much love From Australia Matt. Bringing a minimalist cinematic to the video is so good - Love your videos mate
Thank you 😄 Much love back at you from the UK my friend!
Im glad they finally released this one, ive been waiting for this to change my big case with this one so i could take my pc easier to other places

Damn thats a sick case, great video on this one. I love how you go over the cooling configurations in a clear and concise matter.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoy those sections of the videos as they take quite a lot of time to film and annotate 👌
An awesome showcase of this case. Just ordered it for my father in law. Great video
5 months late, but damn. You're doing something crisp and different here. Got me pumped at the end!
Best PC build channel on UA-cam.
Awesome Build! Thanks to you I have been motivated to build with this case! I really appreciate all of your builds. Thank You for your great content.
Just want to say that the production value in your videos are through the roof. Great job.
the quality of this video was superb loved all the transitions great video
such a neat build and airflow path chosen by Lian li for this very clever and very practical.. no nonsense RGBs in sight.
Yessir! 👌 The design has been really well defined that’s for sure.
Last PC I put together was like 15 years ago, I cannot seriously believe how fans are in these modern, albeit super neat builds.
This guy video is so smooth can have a nice cup of coffee and watch him
Absolutely spot on choice of components, and a very nice build. Going to buy one (even though not needed!) based entirely upon your video.
Ah the weekly dose of chill pc building vids… thanks bro!

This comment is so wholesomely wholesome ☕️
Matt you could add 1 smaller fan below the PSU there, to maximize air flow
This dude has serious editing skills. Subscribed!!!
Be a case worth looking at to do a build for a younger brother.
Great stuff as always 👊

air flow dynamic of this case is better with 2 fans on the bottom and thats it. Thermals skyrocketed when i installed the two on the side.
Money and time spent to sit in a chair and watch a screen. Life is crazy. Dope video as always.
I'm more curious if something like the Noctua Chromax or the Deepcool Assassin IV would fit in this case. Def an amazing build though.
Cool intro and nice build. All that was missing was you pointing at yourself when you saw yourself on screen 😎

Love the case and the simple design. Also the Arctic P12 Max are awesome. I've a build with the Asus Prime AP201 and it is just super quiet and cool. 😎
I wonder if the temps are good with 3 intake and 4 exhaust fans. Might be sucking out the cool air faster than its circulating inside.
Temps are in the description. Nothing to complain about at all ✌️
Having a Jonsplus i100 Pro right now thia Case is Interesting!
Can we do a dual 360mm Radiator Setup when modding the Bottom?
Nice build as always but the case it self is kinda like Asus AP201 or Jonsbo D31. 🙂
Great video, Love the TV section at the start!
Glad to see the GPU has a whole 1.6789mm clearance before rubbing against the intake fans.
at 0:55 I thought the phone on the coffee table was displaying a picture of an egg being cooked in a black fry pan LMAO
the beautiful airflow tho .. i also using the P12 Max for my build imo it is the best fan you can get for a pc
I'd make the rear fan as an intake to have positive airflow. Would that be a good idea?
i love your story and presentation.
