Gaming PC Case
specialized personal computers designed for playing video games. Gaming PCs typically differ from mainstream computers by using high-performance video cards and high core-count central processing units that sacrifice power efficiency for raw performance. Gaming PCs are also used for other demanding tasks such as video editing. Many gamers and computer enthusiasts choose to overclock their CPU(s) and GPU(s) in order to gain extra performance. The added power draw needed to overclock either processing unit often requires additional cooling, using upgraded air cooling or water cooling.
for this we need a powerful Gaming pc case, the enclosure that contains most of the components of Pc. Gaming pc case can come in many different sizes . The size and shape of a Gaming pc case are usually determined by the form factor of the motherboard since it is the largest component of most PCs. Gaming pc case are also referred to by their size (such as ATX case, Mini ITX case, etc.) Consequently, personal computer form factors typically specify only the internal dimensions and layout of the case.
there are several manufacturers of Gaming pc case like ( Antec, BitFenix, Cooler Master, Corsair, Fractal Design, In Win Development, Lian Li, NZXT Corp., Phanteks, Rosewill, and Thermaltake)" wiki".
I have had the flagship Cooler Master HAF-X case since the day it was released in 2010. It is now 2021 and after upgrading my first gen i7 990x to the new i9 9900k, new motherboard, ram, and gpu I figured it was time to upgrade the case as well.
I loved the original cosmos 2 when it came out in 2012-2013 but I felt the $350 for the case with no side window in 2013 was too much. Now a lot more cases are around the $300 mark due to inflation and what not. Plus cases have better features nowadays.
I was stuck between the c700m and c700p. I hated the silver on both, and hated the fact that the c700m was $500 although I love the front rgb lights on the c700m. So when I saw this black edition c700p was coming out it was a no brainer as it was only $50 more than the original c700p.
They addressed every single complaint with the original c700p.
The power supply and hard drive cage shroud on the original c700p looked terrible, it covered most of the pc. I like how they changed it in the black. They made it just a full one piece power supply shroud that covers the whole bottom so you can hide your cables. I also hide my dual bay pump/reservoir since I didn't have enough room to fit it in the dual bay slot because of my reservoir.
They fixed the tint on the side panel. The original c700p had a dark green tinted side panel that was hard to see through. With this side panel it's so clear that it doesn't look like there's even a side panel on.
They give you 4 hard drive cages, as well as 4 ssd cages that are already installed. Whereas the original only had the few ssd cages and 2 hard drive cages.
My only complaint is that I have a 360mm rad in the front that was intaking air and it would case the fans to be much louder because there is almost no ventilation to the front fans because of the front cover plus the dust cover. I took the dust cover out and the fans were still much louder. I just ended up swapping the fans the opposite direction so they blow air out of the front of the case.
I have fit 4 radiators in here. 360mm radiator up top, 360mm radiator up front, 240mm next to the motherboard, and a 120mm radiator towards the rear.
If you are running push/pull with a radiator up top you will need to use slim 120x15mm fans for the top of the radiator otherwise the top dust filter wont close. I learned that the hard way because all of my fans are 120x25mm.
So I'm going to order some noctua 120mmx15mm slim fans to add push/pull to the top radiator.
The stock rgb wave sequence of the case is nice however I decided to keep the rgb to a minimum after seeing how good everything looked in all blue. So I plugged the included rgb header to my motherboard and now I have the case lights doing a pulsing blue which matches the build much better. You are able to set static colors from the case light button as well.
The included fan controller was a bonus as you can plug in six 3 or 4 pin fans. The only issue is there are only two speed options on the case, high and low which will either run the fans at 12v(100%) or 7v which is about 60%. You can get better control by plugging your fans into your motherboard fan headers and adjusting it through software if your motherboard supports that. Plus I have to stand up every time to reach the fan speed button on top of the case.
The side panels on this case are a dream, they are magnetic and you can take them off the case in a matter of seconds, you just open the side panel all the way and slide it up and it comes right off. No tools required.
All in all this case is absolutely amazing. I thought my haf x case was big, being an e atx case. But this case is definitely a few inches taller and longer. It's great because it gives you a ton of room for watercooling or even air cooling if you're into that lmao. You could honestly mount another radiator where I have my reservoir in the pics and then just mount the reservoir on any of the radiators. So you can fit another 240mm radiator if you wanted, or maybe even a 360mm.
So many options with this case. I had a porsche hood crest from a spare hood from my car so I decided why not put it on lmao. Although I think the colors ruin the blacked out look of this case, maybe I'll by a blacked out porsche hood crest :
