What are some unusual and unique cases as of late that are good for water or air cooling?

#

Ideally not just another box.

acoustic goblet Dec 12, 2024, 4:13 PM

I really don’t care how it looks, as long as it fits my requirements, has good thermals, and no glass.

Cooler Master Sneaker X Gaming PC Desktop – Intel i7 13700K – NVIDI...

Design from the ground up by JMDF, which was first exhibited at the “Case Mod World Series 2020”. Aesthetically the design is taken from the iconic sneaker, perfect for those sneaker heads to have an additional collection that can function as their PC.

Oh it literally is a shoe lmfao.

acoustic goblet Dec 12, 2024, 4:17 PM

What did you think shoe meant

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 4:18 PM

Thought you were telling me to use my shoe as a PC case.

#

For a raspberry pie of smth

acoustic goblet Dec 12, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

Can’t go wrong with shoe

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

Maybe something a little more normal? I really like some cases like that Shark Case, TT Tower 900, TT Helicopter, Cougar Gemini X, Fractal Torrent (My current case), Fractal Design.

#

I like more geometric cases that still serve function.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

bleak holly Maybe something a little more normal? I really like some cases like that Shark ...

Tower 300 that's about it

#

Z20 maybe?

#

If you mean like unique but normal that's a really hard question

#

I think only the tryx comes to mind

#

And that's not worth recommending

#

More like a beta test than a unique case

tender rapids Dec 12, 2024, 4:47 PM

Montech XR

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

serene siren Tower 300 that's about it

The Tower300 is neat if only it weren't so small.

#

Z20 was decent. Montech XR felt too generic. TRYX was okay? Some just felt like a more bare bones enclosed chasis.

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

serene siren If you mean like unique but normal that's a really hard question

Unique/Unusual but functional.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

Both the 300 and Z20 are functional

#

Hmmm

#

Oh the antec wood series is a bit unique

#

Most of those are good if you stick to sub $110

#

It's a bit unique

#

It won't be in a year

#

Oh sup01

#

Sup01 is very unique

#

Probably one of the most unique this year but still conventional size

#

I don't think anything really tops that this year

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

serene siren Most of those are good if you stick to sub $110

For case budgets, about $300 is where I cap out. I don't mind paying extra for a genuine quality case.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

I simply don't recommend beyond $110 unless there's a really particularly good reason

#

So the answer is I don't have another suggestion.

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

Fair. I am willing to spend more but always prefer spending less.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

It's just not worth it

#

Been burned enough by buying premium in this space

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

The Sup01 is somewhat interesting.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

I don't like spending unnecessarily anymore

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

The GPU is front mounted?

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

The gpu is indeed front mounted

#

Upright riser mount

#

Aio behind mobo

#

Ssd's under a mirror below the mobo

#

It's unique

#

I nearly bought one but I managed to fix my loop so decided not to

#

Between this and the dan A3 I wouldn't touch anything else from lian li tho rn

#

Those two functionally are interesting

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Why I am particularly interested in getting another pc case is that, once I upgrade my GPU and PSU I will have all the extra parts needed minus a case and ssd for another pc system.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

Yeah I really can't think of any other unique cases

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

Do you know of some nice pc cases that are more geometric, curved/angled glass, and or meant to have the mobo flat.

For some reason I always loved how the Cougar Gemini X looked when it was placed sideways.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

Sup01 is probably the most odd that's within the realm of reason

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

bleak holly Do you know of some nice pc cases that are more geometric, curved/angled glass, ...

King65/king95 probably

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

Oh flat mobo

#

No

#

Light base 900 was mentioned earlier and vetoed, that's a non standard layout now

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

I saw that.

#

It looked quite interesting to me.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

And i know like 3 cases that do that and I don't really agree with any

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

bleak holly The new Be Quiet Light Base 900 is interesting albeit a box but at least a unusu...

.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

Main reason being the glass can't support anything

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

Glass?

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

So you just take up desk space

#

Yes glass

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

Oh that's what you mean.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

It's highly impractical in turn for a different layout

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

Yeah I have kinda given up on the space aspect when I started buying cases like my Fractal Torrent haha. I usually buy massive 2-3M L shaped desks now.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

And this is where I deviate lol

#

I've been sizing down

#

I can fit everything I had in my O11 inside my Dan A3 with no losses

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

I would love to have a mobile pc for travels but I have yet to find a small portable pc that is very expandable feature wise.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

In fact my performance improved

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

Ideally I would like to get into custom loops at some point in the near future (for aesthetics).

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

Take my advice

#

They're a pain and extremely not worth

#

Lol

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

How big of a pain?

#

Isn't it just an refillable AIO?

#

with a lot more points for leaking.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

Like if you have even something slightly wrong it's the equivalence of disassembling a normal pc several times over and no

#

If you're obsessed with messing with a computer it's an easier pill to swallow

#

Big numbers fun performance

#

But if you want a daily functional pc they can be pure cancer

#

Tech has reached the point where water cooling makes basically no sense anymore anyways

#

The last bastion was intel's cpus

#

Those have been remedied now

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

I do like messing with my computers but I also like them functional and visually pleasing (I know I am picky in this regard).

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

I'm aware

#

I'm not going to advocate for it tho

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

Understandable.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

Just tell you to turn back ye green soul lmao

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

How often do do maintenance on your loops?

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

At least once a month

#

And this is, fixing an issue, not changing water

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

....

#

How does it break that often?

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

I use low maintenance loops which are a 6 monthly thing

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

bleak holly How does it break that often?

Something you plugged in, maybe something loose, or maybe the paste isn't giving that perfect temps you like anymore

#

I'm being pedantic here but it's really barely any better than an aio for wayyy more work and that comes from someone with two low maintenance builds

#

The aesthetics aren't worth it lol

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Yikes. Yeah I'd gonna have to give it a deep think over before doing any loops.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

I stress this point btw, low maintenance loops

#

I use zmt, no uv or coloured liquid

#

Low turnover mix

#

I make the effort to avoid maintenance

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

But back onto the topic, the SP01 looks interesting though I prefer more geometric cases. Good example would be like my Torrent, Cougar Gemini X or the Hyte Y60. Neither feel like yet another box.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

Y60 is terrible

#

So are the accompanying Y70 and Y40 these days

#

I'm gonna defeat that train of thought now lol

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

Aight, no Y60

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

Not enough gpu ventilation to make them worth it at all

#

Any of them

#

I got not much a bearing on that cougar case and the torrent is old news

#

I still can't really think of another like, out there case

#

One worth it anyway

#

There's always unique for any price

#

Maybe corsair 2000D?

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

Ideally a pc case with a really nice clean interior so I can get fans that focus on performance rather than aesthetics. Yes I of all people the ARGB fanatic is considering minimal lighting.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

bleak holly Ideally a pc case with a really nice clean interior so I can get fans that focus...

Less rgb is immensely less painful in anything pc building

#

That is compounded when you add liquid cooling btw

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

I felt that one for sure.

#

Daisy Chaining 12 ARGB fans and making sure the wires didn't stick out like a sore thumb when the wires were to short to reach the motherboard was a complete nightmare

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

2000D

#

Maybe fractal terra?

#

Terra is one of those few exceptions

#

It's very small tho

#

Fractal era, north

#

I just remembered those

#

But north isn't unique per se

#

Era is tho

#

Era is very unique

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

2000D is way to small, I need to be able to fit an ATX board, 360 AIO, and however gigantic the 5090/5080 will be.

#

Unless hmm. I use the new case for my secondary system which is mATX.

#

Era is indeed interesting

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

ATX is a dying breed

#

Most boards now ship with x1 lane wiring on subsequent slots

#

Regardless of the slot size

#

So the benefits of using ATX have just about disappeared

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

That's unfortunate.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

mATX is starting to take the fore, and we have a whole generation now with solid budget mATX

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

bleak holly That's unfortunate.

It mainly existed in the first place for multi pci/e input, now all of that is integrated/sunset so

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

Do mATX come with a lot of nvme slots?

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

They can

#

No guarantee like with anything

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

I go through a lot of storage and need fast storage.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

Itx can ship with 3 slots now

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

Wow.

#

I remember getting 2 being a pain in the ass.

#

I had tried to go the mATX/ITX path on AM4.

#

Settled on a low end mATX AM4 to make the 5700G I won work.

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:30 PM

#

I would keep things simple personally, the matx route and a Dan A3 is impressively competent

#

I have room for a 5090 if they go a slot bigger again

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

Dan A3 has that much space?

serene siren Dec 12, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

Got a full 13TB system in there yes

#

It's basically atx, but shorter board and not a stupid waste of psu space

#

And thus, matx and small af

#

It builds on the sama quzao/jonsbo concepts from earlier on

#

Which also build on the Dan A3's concept as well (twist of irony)

bleak holly Dec 12, 2024, 5:35 PM

Damn they haven't even released yet

#

Man if I wasn't already swapped over to dan A3 I'd have liked that

#

I was debating the normal one but I couldn't commit to it cos the glass side panel would've been against the wall (left hand side)

Ah well

acoustic goblet Dec 12, 2024, 6:20 PM

Lookup the Sama im01 tho

i have

i think im going with the jonsbo z20

it costs $45 + $13 for a mesh sidepanel

i should probably buy an aio ngl

it would be better to do a 240mm aio at the top with a 120mm intake on the side

#

wouldnt this be kinda fire

ill probably use my air cooler and just have it intake from that back 120mm

acoustic goblet Dec 13, 2024, 3:31 AM

serene siren You want 140 or you cut off your max GPU length

but like a maximum gpu length of 280mm is still hella high

#

The Gigabyte Windforce OC cards are like 260mm

#

So found this online, a 16cm psu

#

the corsair rx850m shift is the same exact size

now my question is how much space there is for cables on the side

or theres the corsair rm850e

140mm

serene siren Dec 13, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

That'll work

#

8800XT won't be 3x8

#

But odds are there will be a number of long AMD cards so keeping that gpu compatibility open is a big plus

#

Like XFX for example

acoustic goblet Dec 13, 2024, 3:57 AM

well also a smaller psu = more cable room and airflow

serene siren Dec 13, 2024, 3:57 AM

Other than that any recent card will fit

serene siren Dec 13, 2024, 4:00 AM

#

acoustic goblet why?

Elevates the front fan if you want it at the front

#

The ez(studios) solution is to just stick the front dual tower fan at the back

#

Use one less fan

#

But worth consideration for your budget

#

If they're tall sticks, like not typical LP, that should be noted

acoustic goblet Dec 13, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

the max cooler height is 164mm

serene siren Dec 13, 2024, 4:07 AM

Good working example of this, many 450W+ cards on aios are 240mm, they almost all run issue free

#

The 240mm is not a concern

It's just heat capacity really

So yeah you'll be fine

acoustic goblet Dec 13, 2024, 4:08 AM

ill probably use the air cooler to start with

then upgrade when i feel the need

swapping a cooler is easy

serene siren Dec 13, 2024, 4:08 AM

sand atlas Dec 14, 2024, 5:50 AM

Hello, doing a new build for my son on a Sevenhero EMBL panoramic Micro ATX tower, with an MSI Pro H610M-G WiFi MB. Everything is up and running except the LEDs on the fans. The case has an LED button and an LED SW plug that I connected to JRGB at the bottom right of the MB but lights still don’t turn on

#

I don't think there's a manual online for that case, so you will have to check for any physical manuals for the case, but my guess is that the argb on the fans are powered by a hub somewhere in the case that's either sata or molex

You don't plug that LED SW into the motherboard, that's for a standalone controller so it cycles through the lighting modes without software control. You risk short circuiting if you plugged that into the board.

#

If the case has a cable like that, I'm guessing it also came with a controller to plug it all into, and that controller is going to need power, usually SATA.

#

If it doesn't have a controller then that button will be useless, but you can still use it as a reset button or clear cmos button if you plug it into the right spot.

hushed quail Dec 18, 2024, 9:25 PM

Thank you, I got the lights to work eventually and yes that cable wasn’t used. There is some MSI software that controls the lighting. And I didn’t see a controller

Don't need 1200W

850W will cover it honestly

#

Invest in safety not capacity

Hi everyone- With the rumored leaks and PCIe 5.0 support for RTX 5090. Will a 1000W Gold be enough with AI overclocks?

elfin trout Dec 27, 2024, 10:19 PM

#

Would not recommend using any AI overclocking tools at the moment they're all just predefined v/f curve with a little bit of offsetting, but I'd also wait until we get reviews before deciding

#

5090 might draw more power than expected or it might draw less, it could spike more than expected or spike less, can't know until it comes out

earnest light Dec 27, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

With higher rating like Gold plus and ATX 3.1, it should be enough for those huge spikes right?

elfin trout Dec 27, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

Gold plus...?

#

The atx 3.1 standard itself barely changes anything, it's just the new connector that currently only Nvidia is using

#

The tripping from spikes from the 20 series era was because of how OCP was configured on those PSUs and how 20 series had much higher sub 20ms spikes

earnest light Dec 27, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

elfin trout Gold plus...?

elfin trout Dec 27, 2024, 10:26 PM

Thank you Sir. Really hoping it's enough. A 1000W PSU is a huge difference from just a few years ago. I could have never imagined needing anything over 850W for just gaming

earnest light Dec 28, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

I decided to just swap out to 1500W PSU. Reason is because a top end 4090 build already recommends a 1000W. So I can only imagine needing more for the next generation with some OC.

#

I opted for Corsairs HX 1500i EpicEgg

elfin trout Dec 28, 2024, 6:03 PM

Might need to switch it to single rail if it ever trips the multi rail ocp

earnest light Dec 28, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

Single rail?

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

PSUs supply power using rails for voltages

#

Some psus use multiple rails for certain power types

#

HXi has a toggleable multirail/single rail switch

#

Meaning it has multiple 12v rails

#

Multi rail can be really annoying if you don't load balance properly

#

You can basically trip part of the psu and shut the system down but only part of it cos that rail was running out of spec

earnest light Dec 28, 2024, 6:11 PM

#

OK Thank You, I'll look for YoutTube Videos on how and learn more about it

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:12 PM

#

I don't think you'd need a new psu here

#

Cos a 9800x3d is only like 110W max

#

I would not expect a 5090 to use over 900W

earnest light Dec 28, 2024, 6:12 PM

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

earnest light I don't? but a 4090 already recommds 1000W

The recommendation is a blanket statement

#

You can run a 4090 off a 750W if you know what you're working with

earnest light Dec 28, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

My build does have lots of RGB and PCIe Gen 5

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:14 PM

#

Well lots of extras may play into it

#

Depends if the psu has a single rail to the advertised spec or not

#

Some psus allow up to the PSUs advertised amount on just 12v parts

#

Not all

#

Some add the 5v and 3.3v to that limit

#

So you get much less wattage for the unit

earnest light Dec 28, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

I don't know, I just don't want to have to worry about needing more when I start messing around and OC'ing

#

Plus next Gen GPU's always tend to draw more power

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

Next gen is ada refresh

#

Ada is voltage dependent

#

Vrel perfcap

#

It won't be power hungry unless they don't give it nearly enough voltage

That's what my tought process was until I saw 4090 Power consumption. I'm currently using 850W for my 3090 and I thought going to 1000W was crazy

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

4090 power is a nominal 525W overclocked with peaks slightly higher

#

If a 5090 reference board is 1x12vhpwr then the board is limited to 675W max

By spec restriction

earnest light Dec 28, 2024, 6:22 PM

They were saying this about the 4090 until like the last week before the announcement then the tdp claims dropped by 25%

#

All the early cards were designed for 600W then last minute they manage to drop it to 350-450W

#

I would wait

I would if I could, but knowing myself I'll end up spending it on something even if its loans

Lol

#

Along with having a noisy fan

Hybrid or not

But fr the evo is one of the largest cases for fitting a psu

Not much else fits 180mm

elfin trout Dec 28, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

serene siren But fr the evo is one of the largest cases for fitting a psu

I really think most cases are fine with having a much bigger psu, like north xl for example, up to 300mm if you take away a single hdd tray lol

#

P500a can do 250mm taking away 2 hdd brackets

#

most of the cases I would consider large and spatious have plenty of space in the bottom for an ultra long psu as long as you don't use all the drive cages

#

p500a image for reference

#

Even with something smaller, td500 mesh says it only supports up to 180mm but you can clearly get more space if you take out the drive brackets

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:35 PM

#

I mean yeah if you like those

elfin trout Dec 28, 2024, 6:35 PM

#

I don't think it's a issue for most cases

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:35 PM

#

Dual chamber is almost non existent at this size

elfin trout Dec 28, 2024, 6:36 PM

#

I mean personally I've never liked dual chamber cases so I don't consider them much lol

#

most standard cases have no problems just taking away a drive cage and fitting much bigger psus

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:37 PM

#

I think pcpp is lying to me rn

#

It's saying the o11 mini air fits a 200mm

#

And I know that's a lie

#

Only seen antec c8 and o11 vision compact so far for any dual chambers that are actually decent

#

But I can't tell if they actually are compatible

chilly path Dec 28, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

It's probably a "You REALLY want to attach all the cables you need to the PSU before you screw it into the case" situation

serene siren Dec 28, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

Yeah I think this site doesn't know

#

Tower 300 fits 180mm max

#

Dan a3 doesn't list any support for a 200mm, it can fit it but it thinks it can fit it with a 334mm gpu which is not correct

Pretty sure pcpp is lying lol

With the rumored TDP of RTX 5090 at 575W and 120W for 9800x3d. Does a PSU of 1500W makes sense for a high end build with RGB and OC?

Not even remotely lmfao

For the record I'm being generous there

I've done my 600W 4090 on an 850W

#

Pick the right psu and you won't need even 1000W

earnest light Jan 5, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

Corsair PSU is what opted for.

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

Corsair ≠ good

#

You should shop by model and review

#

Especially, on the psu

earnest light Jan 5, 2025, 5:14 PM

Corsair and NZXT seems to be the only PSU that are compatible with next gen GPUs

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:14 PM

Every brand makes firebombs (including gamemax)

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:15 PM

That's not true at all

#

All you need is a 12vhpwr plug

#

You don't need anything else

#

Almost every psu brand has these now

earnest light Jan 5, 2025, 5:15 PM

How about ATX3.1?

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

That's the revised cable spec

#

Which any new unit will have

#

It's been out for like a year now

#

Try not to buy native 12vhpwr btw

Two questionable power plugs is more risky than an adapter with one imo

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

earnest light Would you have model recommendation for Corsairs?

No, and the reason is corsair doesn't make any game changing psus anymore

#

You can get similar quality from other brands nowadays

earnest light Jan 5, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

But still a good quality right? Reason I'm insistent on Corsair is because I'm trying to limit my brands for my build

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

The core reactor ii is better

#

The gv1000 is comparable

#

Here's the thing

#

Psu brands are almost all resellers

#

They buy from an oem

#

Slap their brand on the front

#

And away they go

#

Corsair is one of the few that are in house but they've long been long out of the race for best psu for a long time bar the AXi (Which is a pointless buy)

#

Nowadays you have multiple brands sourcing the same good oems and putting out competitive units for much less

#

It's like looking at noctua

#

They were hailed as the kings of air cooling for years

#

They got comfortable

#

The competition learned and caught up

#

Now they're just an expensive brand that relies on brand loyalty

#

There's no real benefit to spending 5x the price of a thermalright these days cos there's only lost money out of pocket

#

It's the same with corsair

earnest light Jan 5, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

My friend loves Noctua fans 😆

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

Their psus aren't bad either but you pay for the brand now and you get objectively worse overall

#

You get a worse psu for more money

earnest light Jan 5, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

What are the top brands now on to your opinion?

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

Again lad

#

modelbrand

#

I don't go by brand

#

Everyone has their good hardware, everyone has their bad

#

Like corsair fans are garbage

#

So are their ram

#

Their cases used to be good but they cut costs starting with the new fishtank series

#

Their $300 aios lose to $60 options

#

There's so much to say for corsair

#

And more importantly not being brand loyal

#

There's a reason why the atx standard exists

#

It keeps things very universal

#

If you try tie yourself to an ecosystem by buying one brand you'll just be sinking extra money in for no benefit

earnest light Jan 5, 2025, 5:32 PM

For me it's Esthetic-Performance-Quality then Brand

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

Tell me what I don't know already about it

#

Corsair is not worth it

I know its not a good priority but that's just what I prefer

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

It's your choice lad but it won't change my suggestion one bit

#

I don't empathise with brand loyalty

#

Because of that very thing we have an nvidia card coming that looks to be some 50% more expensive

elfin trout Jan 5, 2025, 5:33 PM

#

In the end, you're getting the same OEM anyways for the PSU, Corsair uses CWT for RM/RMx/RMi, Core Reactor II also uses a CWT platform.

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:34 PM

#

And the core reactor does it better

elfin trout Jan 5, 2025, 5:34 PM

#

There would be no difference in manufacturing quality, it's the same OEM making it. Core Reactor II uses a newer platform made by CWT

serene siren Jan 5, 2025, 5:34 PM

#

Yep

#

But it also costs much less

#

So they do it better lol

#

Objectively speaking, you pay extra for a sticker here
