The CH160 is something that the ITX community needed. A portable case, great price, and solid hardware compatibility. The ATX PSU support makes this chassis even more appealing.
i mean, i guess, but if ur building a cheaper itx pc, around $600-ish, your gpu options are likely going to fit anyways, especially with a shorter 125mm psu like the corsair cx650/cv650

This looks fantastic. I really appreciate you adding the noise test section, as excessive pc noise drives me completely nuts. I've watched all your build videos, but this one really looks like the one I want to build.
Exactly the air cooler I was thinking of when I saw the new case! Great video as usual, Devyn! As for the ATX PSU, Enermax has one called the Revolution D.F. 12. What's unique about theirs is that it's ATX-sized, but lengthwise it's shorter than an SFX-L PSU (122mm vs. 130mm). It also has braided cables and ATX 3.0/12VHPWR support. Not being able to install the front case fan aside, I think this PSU is perfect for the CH160, G200, and other such lunchbox cases.
Try watching at 2x speed. UA-cam is so boring for me at regular speed. But I binge/watch a ton at 2x speed because it’s more compelling and more info per minute that way.
I was waiting for a build in this case! That's exactly what I planning for my build except for the GPU. Looks amazing and very portable, and that's what I looking for!! 10/10!!!
THANK YOU for specifying that you can fit a 310mm GPU in this case. Seeing builds and pictures, it looked like you could but I wasn't sure. Every review video I've seen never even bothered to test if this was the case. Now I know! I have a Red Dragon 6800xt which is 310mm and I thought I coudln't fit it in that case.
@Devyn Johnston, I really like your channel. You provide a very elegant touch to your builds. You don't rely on flashy visual and auditory effects like other channels do. You keep it simple, and your builds speak to the quality of your channel. Like I said, your builds are elegant. Keep it up!
I'm very excited about this case. Great layout, component support, cooling, and aesthetics, all for $70. And your build is a beautiful showcase of its potential.
The Asus Dual is great. I have the same model as a 7800XT. The Ch160 immediatly cought my attention. I'm more of a mATX kinda guy, which is like 0-drawbacks to a fullATX build, but this case is nice! Was already a big fan of the CH370, a mATX build with a white exterior and black interior. I'ts gonna be a long time until I upgrade again, but this will be considered. In the r/mffpc scene, the AP201 is extremely popular, similar to teh hype fo the o11 dynamic back then. This CH160 is essentially that, just a bit smaller again, but still fits everything. I think this is gonna be super popular
I really liked that case. Most small cases like that have no dust filter, which is a deal breaker for me. This one not only has a beautiful glass panel on one side, but has dust filters on the other side, plus on top and bottom. It really is one I will strongly consider if I ever end up building a small PC.
Thank you for confirming the ASUS TUF fits - pretty sure they just tested it as the largest GPU to drop in and set its dimensions as the limit - but I was confused and now I know!
I love the build. I will use it when I build mine. However, I thinks the air flow should be opposite direction. The front fan should be exhaust fan so it can also suck out hot air from the GPU. Also you will not need the near fan.
I think this will have to be my first build... If I don't build in the CH370. Aside from me needing something small to fit on my desk, I love the minimalism, portability and compact nature of this build. This build has everything I'm looking at aside from the CPU, thinking I'll get the Ryzen 9 7900 instead and the lack of RGB puts me just under my budget.
I would like to see this case with a mesh front panel. As it has a handle, I would be worried about the glass being broken every time I moved it (my current ITX build is portable and is moved around from time to time). Other than that, it's a solid case - especially at that price point.
Digging the digital display air cooler.. This case is slowly winning me over for the next build. Hopefully Intel doesn't s*** the bed with this next gen.
Weird nobody is showing any builds with an ATX power supply (just saying it fits) which I feel is what most people who'd be interested in buying this case would be using or they'd just another case (like the NR200P)
Is there any good alternatives to this case that fits identical hardware? It's sold out everywhere I looked. Also, the link to the fans is broken. What types of case fans would be doable?
Idk about that build quality... I've seen some other videos on the case and it's definitely cheap for a reason. that being said, it's still an amazing budget case.
Smaller cases can have longer GPUs. These manufacturers need to realize sandwich layout is the only logical one for ITX cases. Deepcool also needs to fix their website because it won't work.
Case looks cool, disappointed that deepcool decided against a few centimeters at the from to actually fit larger cards and or do proper cable management. Anyways. I'll keep an eye on it
I would have liked to see a comparison between the G200 (Lunchbox 2.0 video). The cases are VERY similar, and I think it would be good to know what is better/worse about each option. I have the G200, which your video helped me decide to get, but there are a couple features that I like on this case so have been thinking about swapping over (less airflow restriction, option for front fan and SFX mounting, better I/O). The one thing that I really dont like on this case is the tempered glass side panel, if they had a mesh panel I would have ordered it already.
should try find a way to hook a portable screen up to a small itx case to have a portable desktop to flex on gaming laptops (not very hard already tbh)
I would really appreciate if you could do more ITX builds with third-party 4090s because FE are very hard to come by and third-party ones are tricky to fit. Absolutely none of my favorite ITX cases on youtube are built with Asus/MSI gpus, only FE, which I understand, but 90% of the world can't get their hands on one and it's unrealistic.
@Devyn love you channel and builds. This one in particular. The FE card you managed to squeeze in was 310mm, do you think the MSI 4080 SUPER EXPERT into this case? Specifications says its 312mm in length.
Anyone looking at this build for ideas and see the Teamgroup RAM, save a couple of bucks and buy the 6400MT version. Yes, 6400MT isn't necessary and the kit actually lacks an EXPO profile, but I've been using it with a 7700X for a couple of weeks with no ill effects. 6000MT for $102 vs 6400MT for $95 is a no brainer to me. CAS latency is practically identical too.
Is this a good build overall and ill be using this case. Gigabyte A620I Rx 6700xt ryzen 5 7500F Crucial p3 1tb Crucial pro ram 32gb Corsair sf750 ID cooling IS 55 S300 case Anything I'm missing or needs to be changed? Any input on this build. Thanks
huh. i really wish this case came out earlier. because i decided to go with the GEEEK A50 MAX which has nearly the same compatibility for 10-20 dollars more. because a riser is required. due to the sandwich design but you can also stuff a 4090 founders in it i believe. i stuffed a tuf gaming 4070ti super in it. honestly the GEEEK is under rated. i would want you to compare cases.
Maybe it's just me but that pigtail PSU extension ruined it for me. I guess there will always be comromise but I'd rather prefer it if they place the C14 connector vertically on the bottom right side of the PCIE slots.
Hi. Will i have clearance problems if my nvme requires heatsink?🤔 Other parts that will go with build is 4080super, peerless asasin 120se for cooling, sfx psu, asrock a620i mobo. Thx!
I just built a pc with the 7600 and this same cooler in the CH370. For some reason my idle temps are at 44 degrees and can get up to 65-70 degrees only playing counter-strike. I think i might have not tightened the mounting hardware all the way but I'm not sure. What do you think is going on?
6:50 would an ATX Corsair RMx Shift solve the cable clearance issue? It has cables on the side, not back. I think it must fit because the case is pretty wide.
i wonder why not a rx 7800xt? i know nvidia rules with RT but it seems like amd scores similarly if not better at a similar or lower price then Nvidia without RT
Is Gigabyte A620i AX and Gigabyte B650i AX the same? For some reason these board looks identical. In my country (PH) the A620i is not available while B650i is available
Can you somehow make it vertical? SFF should be like Ncore 100 MAX as vertically using space does not really matter on a desk but if its "sideways" the length is just a few inch smaller than a normal ATX case. I wanted to buy an Ncore 100 MAX but for an 7800X3D CPU the AIO seems bad, it would be way too loud and hot also thinking of using low profile air cooler in an Ncore 100MAX and using some beefy fan at the top instead of the AIO? I am curious if that can be done and what would be the results.
Hey, Devyn, I want to know if a 313 millimeter gpu like the 7900 xt sapphires pulse will since at 8:03 u said a 310 mm will fit with a few millimeters extra i just want to know if those are arounfd 3mm extra so i can fit the 7900 xt sapphire pulse 😂
The CH160 is something that the ITX community needed. A portable case, great price, and solid hardware compatibility. The ATX PSU support makes this chassis even more appealing.
But then you can only use very short GPU
ATX PSU is overkill though, I mean it's nice you have more options but you don't need it
@@pax3974 it's overkill sure, but an equivalent ATX supply is cheaper than an SFX supply, especially for lower end units
@@kushy_TVyou’re already saving a bunch of money on this case at $70. Might as well throw the savings into a SFX PSU to maximize your GPU options.
i mean, i guess, but if ur building a cheaper itx pc, around $600-ish, your gpu options are likely going to fit anyways, especially with a shorter 125mm psu like the corsair cx650/cv650

love the minimalist vibe of this pc
