6:16 hey just want to tell you that this comparison is so useful for me i’ve been choosing between the two for the past week. Love your informative content especially with the thermal configuration tests. Thanks for your effort and videos

Thanks for the comparision of s300 and s400! I think the case my next build is gonna be s400, since it's only slightly bigger, while fit a lot of big GPU.

[charleskuhn]

Amazing content and comparisons, thanks

Nice review thank you sir first build papasok pa lang sa mundo ng mini ITX pc

I found a nice 8010 fan for this… it’s called the
ID-COOLING NO-8010-PWM 80CM…. However just like you, I have all the cables tied up on the left side of the case so I’m not sure how would you be able to squeeze another fan in there. Would be great if you could do a video demonstrating this. I’m from Singapore and I love your channel btw

[daesz]

its kinda sad that the chassis fan placement is at the bottom, so it have to fight against natural convection, it would be so much better if it was on top, so it would also not interfere with PSU cables :)

Thank you so much for this video, brother! Very straightforward and clear. I wanted to make an itx build using this case. This will my first pc ever, i never use or build before . So i became scared right after i ordered.

Your informative video makes me feel better and I can know what to do expect. Especially the cooler height issue. Keep it up!

On shopee the case seller description say the max cpu + cooler height was 60mm. Did you manage to find what fans fit properly? Im planning Thermalright or Id-cooling.

I bought this case recently as well.... had a lian li sp850 but the coil whine and buzzing was driving me crazy, maybe I got a bad one? Im planning to remove it and install a cosair SF750 soon... hopefully this issue goes away as I heard its a much quieter PSU....

I take the side panels off for better temps. Then I put the side panels back whenever I wanna bring my pc to work/home.

How did you get the GPU set while it was plugged it? We can't figure out how to do it. The riser cable just gets in the way. And yes, we moved all the other wires out of the way.

would rtx rog fit the case from the previous video of s400?( i have 3070 rog and i don't know if i should get S300 or 400 the smaller is better for me because i travel a lot) thanks for the review

[V.V.K.]

Hello, my friend. My translation is not very correct. Please tell me for the best cooling of the S300 you need to put a fan, so that it would blow hot air from the case or still need to put it so that the air enters the case?

[SLnCe]

Thanks for the video. What about heatsink clearance? Could it fit a Noctua NH-L9x65 (65mm)?

[orionk]

Use a better CPU for the S300 like 7500f or 7800x3d to lower the temperatures, and also use the CPU cooler Noctua NH-L12S and you will have good temperatures.

nice build, can i know what is the name of PCI-E 4.0 Riser Cable

[clydecaguiat]

what is the alternative cooler for this case na it wont bulge? planning to get my first sff gaming build bro.

[dmonCyborg]

Meron po ba kayo review pang matx gaya nung power train p60

Some tips for better ascent:try to speak slower and calmer and try to practice in your free time ❤

Hi how is the temps compared with i100 pro ? Since i100 pro is much cheaper
