1 00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:03,330 - We're doing this today, the Fractal Torrent Nano. 2 00:00:03,330 --> 00:00:08,340 Which is something that I'm personally excited for 'cause I'm overdue for a rebuild. 3 00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:12,240 Now this one is white, which doesn't quite fit my needs 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,180 more of a black case guy myself but, we're gonna get it out of the box, 5 00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:19,330 see what's inside and see what the tiny version of the big boy looks like. 6 00:00:19,330 --> 00:00:22,113 We've got a patented foot brace technique. 7 00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:28,010 Okay, it's bigger than I thought it would be. I love this front grill, 8 00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:31,500 big and open, and kinda like brutalist is what they describe it as. 9 00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:35,360 It is hiding a huge, relatively, 180 mil fan 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,280 it's 38 mil thick. It's also got temper glass side panel. 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,990 Why this case is so important to me? Well, it's reasonably affordable, 12 00:00:42,990 --> 00:00:48,550 it still fits a hard drive. It'll fit like a 335 millimeter long graphics card. 13 00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:51,560 You can put five 120 mil fans in it if you wanted to, 14 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,700 or you can fit the 180 up front, two 140s at the bottom and a 120 at the back. 15 00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:02,270 So it's got tons of configuration options. It is just the right format of case for what I want to do. 16 00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:05,700 So I have a Thermaltake P1, which is like a wide boy but it's kind of cubish 17 00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:08,840 and I think it's time to go small, 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,160 but vertical. I think this guy just lifts up. 19 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,090 I don't know. Ooh, there we are. Off she comes. We got a little box of accessories in here. 20 00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:22,370 What do we got? Bunch of zip ties and a wiping cloth in a low density polyethylene bag 21 00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:26,540 and a butt load of fasteners. And I didn't even look at this guy, 22 00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:30,220 Ooh, these are the fan mount brackets. So if you wanna run a rad 23 00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:33,660 or two 140 mil fans in this, 24 00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:38,450 you have to run these brackets. So you pull the 180 that's already pre-installed in out. 25 00:01:38,450 --> 00:01:42,760 And this guy would go in and it comes with a bunch of thumb screws and all that jazz. 26 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,910 I'm not going to be doing that. So, I won't need these today because, you know it, 27 00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:51,930 I'm using air cooling. And because I'm self-serving and I wanna buy this case 28 00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:56,220 I'm literally using the same hardware that I put in my own PC. So I've got a D 15 29 00:01:56,220 --> 00:02:00,330 have the same motherboard have the same graphics card and we're gonna try and fit it in here as 30 00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:04,530 an analog to me upgrading my own PC. They say it's tool free. 31 00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:07,846 And I see this guy, but I don't know. I don't wanna break it 'cause 32 00:02:07,846 --> 00:02:11,740 oh, there we go. So, we have a filter on the bottom, 33 00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:16,020 nice filter on the front, similarly nice. 34 00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:20,670 Oh, front panel comes off. Hey, there we go. Okay, so if you wanna slide out this filter 35 00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:24,890 easy. I have the same size fan in the front to of my P1. 36 00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:28,800 It is large and it rotates slowly, so it generates less noise, 37 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,633 but we'll see how that sounds once we get it all together. Is it that time Jono? 38 00:02:32,633 --> 00:02:35,650 - [Jono] Might be! - Might be that time for our sponsor Seasonic. 39 00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:40,520 Thanks to Seasonic for sponsoring today's ShortCircuit. Seasonic's Prime TX 1000 watt power supply 40 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,010 is a good choice for high performance systems. Featuring an 80 plus titanium rating 41 00:02:44,010 --> 00:02:48,950 which means less power getting wasted during power conversion, which means savings in your wallet. 42 00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:54,170 It's fully modular with hybrid fan control and a fluid dynamic fan bearings for quiet operation 43 00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:57,420 comes with a 12 year warranty and learn more about them at Seasonic.com 44 00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:01,860 or through the links below. And I will be upgrading to one of these personally. 45 00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:06,340 So, you should try it. I grabbed a random test bench, 46 00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:10,110 which is conveniently the same motherboard I have. I think it's got a Ryzun 2700 in it 47 00:03:11,036 --> 00:03:14,940 Ballistix 3600 16 gigs. Now, normally I would have preassembled this, 48 00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:18,420 but I wanna talk about just how large this cooler is. 49 00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:23,470 This case supports a 165 millimeter cooler tower which this conveniently is 50 00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:26,630 whether it will actually be able to close its door 51 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:31,803 I don't quite know. And similarly, this is a rather large graphics card. 52 00:03:31,803 --> 00:03:36,730 I think it's probably right around the limit of 335 mill that will fit in this case. 53 00:03:36,730 --> 00:03:39,823 It does appear to fit barely, 54 00:03:39,823 --> 00:03:44,560 how its thermals will be, that remains to be seen. I mean it is meshed down there, 55 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,640 but there's no fans 'cause I mean, we're putting three fans right above it, why bother? 56 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,670 I always do these in steps 'cause if you just tighten one, 57 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:56,910 you're kind of putting a lot of load and you want everything to spread out both directions too. 58 00:03:56,910 --> 00:03:58,663 Now I can drop this guy in. 59 00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:07,530 This thing fits at D 15. Will it fit a D 15 and a graphics card? 60 00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:10,103 That's a different story. Will she go, 61 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,900 come on, look at that airflow just right out the back. 62 00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:22,070 That's a thing of beauty. So, let's actually install it now. I might be making a fatal mistake 63 00:04:22,070 --> 00:04:25,550 if I screw this in before I put the fan on. There's no finger clearance 64 00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:30,220 in here to do that. - [Jono] Just flip it on one side, its fine 65 00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:35,120 - No Jono. Oh man. Also, it's gonna be impossible to get to this plug. 66 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,880 So this four pin is going to be in there, 67 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,830 there's no way. So I'm gonna clip the power supply into it now. 68 00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:48,970 Power supply goes up here. So this is the attic style. 69 00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:53,670 Oh, okay okay. So cable's already pre managed up here. 70 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:56,810 That's gonna get trapped. So this is the hard drive sled. 71 00:04:56,810 --> 00:05:01,430 So you can mount a 3.5 inch drive up here and one, 2.5 inch underneath it. 72 00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:05,110 We're gonna pull it out 'cause I'm gonna have to deal with the cable management and then we can chuck a drive in it later. 73 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:09,822 Cables are gonna tuck down here. So I'm gonna run that four pin 74 00:05:09,822 --> 00:05:11,488 (pin snapping in place) Click. 75 00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:14,903 Lovely. 76 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,033 This cable will feed in here. 77 00:05:20,490 --> 00:05:23,710 Uh oh. Will it not fit 78 00:05:23,710 --> 00:05:27,920 with the power supply already in there? Maybe if I use the split feed, 79 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,920 the split end through. Yeah, that works. 80 00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:36,453 Oof, I almost had to deduct points there. This is gonna be a difficult wiring. 81 00:05:38,690 --> 00:05:42,640 Wow that's tight. Yeah, so I guess my one complaint now 82 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,550 is that with this cooler on there is no seeing any of the wiring. 83 00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:51,500 And getting the fan back on there is non-trivial. What do we gotta get in here? 84 00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:55,307 We need to get the.. - [Brandon] 24 pin? 85 00:05:55,307 --> 00:05:59,700 - Yeah 24 pin has access. I'm thinking more. We've got RGB to plug in 86 00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:04,530 the power header is - [Jono] I don't think that's a RGB fan. 87 00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:08,230 - No it isn't, but there's RGB, there's a plug up here. 88 00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:12,560 We'll find out what's RGB. Oh this is a bear. 89 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,750 Oh geez. I hate everything about how tight this is. 90 00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:21,330 Takin' off took getting hot. Lttstore.com 91 00:06:21,330 --> 00:06:26,100 not anymore. At least on my head. Okay, so these first screws are always hard 92 00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:30,790 because you're pushing against the IO shield. Once you get the two easy to access ones in 93 00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:36,431 then you do the hard ones. So that's in, let's do big power cable. 94 00:06:36,431 --> 00:06:41,370 Ah I do like how there's room underneath 95 00:06:41,370 --> 00:06:45,140 where the hard drive's gonna sit to jam all your cables. 96 00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:50,410 We're gonna have to get one in there for SATA. There are so many ports on this thing, 97 00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:53,833 you will not run out power options. I forgot to mention, 98 00:06:54,850 --> 00:06:59,760 look at all the pre-done cable management. Now, this one I'm gonna wrap up and zip tie here 99 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,090 but if you wanna run down and around 100 00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:06,350 particularly for the smaller cables, easy. 101 00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:09,610 So I'm gonna loosen this cable bundle here. 102 00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:12,680 So upfront we have one USB 3.1. 103 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,620 So that's the 10 gig USB-C. Then we have two 3.0s, 104 00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:20,630 headphone and microphone ports, separately. 105 00:07:20,630 --> 00:07:24,980 Reset and power, so ample IO up front. You can get other accessories, 106 00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:27,990 so if you want to get a side panel, that's not glass, 107 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:31,550 you can buy that. You can do glass on I think both sides actually. 108 00:07:31,550 --> 00:07:35,910 I mean, if you're really proud of your cable management, you could do that. 109 00:07:35,910 --> 00:07:40,920 Okay fine, I'll follow some of their handy dandy cable management. 110 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,870 So we've been doing some wiring. Now, they say it can fit a 200 millimeter long power supply 111 00:07:45,870 --> 00:07:51,580 which it can, this is 160 mil. But if you try to use the stock placement 112 00:07:51,580 --> 00:07:56,340 for this hard drive sled, you end up hitting these plugs. 113 00:07:56,340 --> 00:08:00,200 Not great. Now, you can just move it over a little 114 00:08:01,220 --> 00:08:05,110 and with a little bit of finesse there is another slot for it 115 00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:08,430 but where these cables come out, hits the tray. 116 00:08:08,430 --> 00:08:13,250 So, we're gonna just have to wrangle these guys kind of up. 117 00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:17,343 I mean, that'll go back, that's fine. But then can also, can we still fit the hard drive? 118 00:08:19,116 --> 00:08:25,648 Oh yeah, yeah there's room. Okay. Now it's time for (imitating trumpet fanfare) 119 00:08:25,648 --> 00:08:31,080 a 3080 Tuf. So, there are three bay slots back here 120 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,800 all without a frame, which is nice. These it's the top two we're gonna be using 121 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,883 that's right. Wow, there's like nothing going on up here. 122 00:08:40,818 --> 00:08:43,933 - [Brandon] Air flow. - Air flow is going on. That's right. 123 00:08:43,933 --> 00:08:47,190 It like makes this neat little wind tunnel straight into it. 124 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:52,030 I think this will actually perform really good. We've got an exhaust fan right behind the cooler, 125 00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:56,760 we've got fresh air coming in. It can get, actually, and it'll pull fresh air up as well. 126 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,380 By moving the power supply up to the top, we can use the bottom as an intake. 127 00:09:00,380 --> 00:09:05,770 So, it'll work just fine in theory. I'll be very curious what the performance numbers will be. 128 00:09:05,770 --> 00:09:10,840 Unfortunately, we can't do that on ShortCircuit. Okay. GPU in, we need GPU power. 129 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,970 Few things to note, at least for my future build in this case hopefully. 130 00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:18,250 All the fan headers are sitting up against the top of the case here, right under the power supply. 131 00:09:18,250 --> 00:09:21,820 So we had to remove the motherboard again, slide it back, 132 00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:25,790 put the fan headers in, and move it up. So, you're only gonna be doing the fans once. 133 00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:31,120 Do it ahead of time. Open up these cable management loops. 134 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,680 Well, this is about the level of cable management I expected. 135 00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:38,450 Great on Fractals part, bad on mine. A hundred percent me. 136 00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:42,163 And after all of that cable management in here, 137 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,910 I wouldn't say my finest work by any stretch but let's start putting the panels back on. 138 00:09:46,910 --> 00:09:50,630 So this is the good part. Might be one of those bottom hingey boys. 139 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:51,463 There we go. 140 00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:58,800 Okay. Okay. Am I derping? Yeah okay, it just goes over the back, 141 00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,633 that's all. 142 00:10:04,950 --> 00:10:06,513 The all important peel time. 143 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,723 We forgot the inside peel. 144 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,010 They did include a support bracket. We didn't use it, 145 00:10:19,010 --> 00:10:22,980 but it's there. Look how we have full access to the GPU. 146 00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:27,040 There are these cable management wires here, so when you actually do run your cable up 147 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,270 or all of these cables you can cable manage out, which is really nice. 148 00:10:31,270 --> 00:10:36,280 I think that's a nice feature. That's nice, right? You know, you get all your cables in there. 149 00:10:37,831 --> 00:10:42,120 Aye, it does look good in white. I think this with an RGB fan would be pretty cool. 150 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,830 They do have an RGB fan version. Look at the front of that thing. 151 00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:47,360 And it's quiet too, like... 152 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,870 I think this thing looks great and I'm definitely gonna get one, 153 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:56,080 just not in white. So with that, thanks for watching the ShortCircuit. 154 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,410 If you like any of the parts you saw on this video go check out the link below 155 00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:02,900 and of course get subscribed to ShortCircuit. Maybe check out the Meshify C case 156 00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:05,873 we did from Fractal as well. And I'll see you later.
