Purple Cpu Case

Love it, purple rocks.

I got this for my mommy for her birthday and she's been looking for a hard case with the 360 spinners in the bottom, and this one is absolutely perfect! The purple is beautiful as well, the brush strokes on it give it that extra touch to make the purple not too childish!

Ever since top vents started coming into vogue, I've longed for a case like this to make an appearance, and it's everything I wanted. The key differentiator of this case compared to most other, modern cases is that it has no vents on the top. For air cooling, this is ideal because you want air to go through the CPU cooler and out the back, not go out the top and skip the cooler entirely or come in from the top and screw up the flow direction. There is a slope in front of the top-mounted PSU that forces the incoming air from the empty space at the top of the front fans down into the CPU cooler. Then the GPU area is fed by additional fans on the bottom to ensure there's plenty of fresh air. This amount of airflow allows you to run the fans at pretty low speeds, being almost silent at 60% in the front and 40% on the bottom, while not significantly reducing the cooling potential. There are mesh filters in front of both sets of fans, keeping the interior a lot cleaner than it would be without them. The panels pop off nicely with some sort of magnetic or tension mounting. Overall, the design of the toolless access and working inside this case feels like an improvement over the Meshify C case I had before. Of course, there is one compromise. If you want non-nvme drives, it only has room for a couple on the rear of the motherboard panel, and there's not much airflow in that area, so I'd hesitate to use a spinning platter hard drive. At this point, I only use nvme drives and a separate NAS for storing media, so that's no problem for me.

This case is by far the best case and only case anyone will ever need or want to own. I had tried 5 or 5 cases to fit my full water loop for gpu and cpu with hardlines. Not to mention the airflow is just something else, you can literally feel the pc pulling the air from under your feet. I will only build pc with this case from now on doesn't matter small or big build this case has the customization and room to go and upgrade. If you ever thought about it or debated about this case, just do it.

I built my PC with this case as livingroom Home theater and for gaming. CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 7600 GPU: XFX Radeon RX 6700 SPEEDSTER SWFT 309 CORE SSD/RAM: 1TB/16GB Motherboard: Gigabyte A620I AX Mini-ITX AM5 Motherboard Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L V2  PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold 850W 80 PLUS Gold Modular SFX OS: Linux (Bazzite OS), Widows 10/11 The case instructions were about as clear as Ikea furniture, but manageable and fun to build. Cable management will take some patience. If using an AMD CPU, disable the default overclocking, as it smelled like PC was melting while running at a contstant 95 degrees, regarless of air cooled or liquid cooled. Overall, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Performance on Windows 10/11 and Linux (Bazzite OS) is great and very similar, with Windows requiring more upfront time to setup with drivers. Cyberpunk 2077 - Ultra settings, consistently over 100 FPS with FSR 2 enabled at 1080p. 60+ FPS at 1440p. Starflied - Ultra Settings, mostly at 70 FPS with FRS 3 enabled at 1080p. I wouldn't recomment 1440p.

A really beautiful showcase CPU case. Thermal is good. But if you want better thermal get the ones with mesh front cover.

Having built in a Fractal Design case before, I was expecting the same kind of quality and functionality in the North. I wasn't disappointed. I changed out the provided front fans for 2 140mm RBG fans and installed an 240mm AIO at the top. The only caveat is that if you are going to install a top AIO then make sure the CPU power and CPU fan connections are made BEFORE securing the motherboard in place. Otherwise, there is no room to get into to make those connections. Very happy with the result except all of the little rubber pads coming off the feet because of the many trips to and from the assembly workbench. A little glue fixed that.

I'm using the case to carry a small desktop server CPU and ethernet switch and all the associated cables. The pluck and pick foam made it incredibly easy to fit all the pieces snuggly and safely. And it's small enough to fit under a seat on an airplane as a carry-on.

This CPU is great for pretty much every use case. It's absolutely the fastest gaming processor on the market, and also quick enough that you can run a few virtual machines on it without causing issues. Those who need to run more than a few VMs at once may want to consider one of the higher end models with more cores, but in general, developers could do far worse than this bad boy. Fair bit of warning though, it runs hot. This is by design according to the engineering team, but it will be warmer than you're used to. The processor will run to the absolute thermal limit to hit its boost clocks. Mine hits 84 C under full load from Prime95 with the best air cooler on the market. Under everyday usage though, it hovers around 50 C, which is quiet enough to not be an issue.

Works great on cpu cooling. I have the ProArt case to match and a ASUS ProArt Nvidia GeForce Rtx 4070TI Super gpu to match. My cpu that this thing cools is a AMD ryzen 7800x3d
