their new silencio fans to provide impressive near silent performance click
now to learn more The Fortress F5 is the
more expensive smaller and more refined little brother to the raven
rv5 a similar Case by Silverstone it
first shows us this refined Style with its front panel a very sleek and clean
looking metal finish accented only by a reflective strip along the bottom which
has an illuminated Silverstone logo behind it and the slot loing optical
drive bay on the right hand side the left side panel is a plain Metal finish
with a relatively small window cutout and that same reflective strip along the
bottom just without the Silverstone logo this time my only gripe with this
particular panel is that I would have liked to see the window shifted up a
little bit this would have pulled the expansion cards and a little bit more of
the motherboard into view and done a better job of hiding the cable clutter
at the bottom also the right side panel is more or less the same as this left
side panel just without the window cutout at the front of the top of the
case we have a set of solid and satisfying power and reset buttons which
are on either side of a flip cover which hides the audio headers dual USB 3.0
ports and two fan switches which have high medium and low settings despite
only being labeled for high and low behind the top IO we have more top IO
because of how the motherboard is oriented once you slide the protective
Grill back and lift it off of the case you're able to access all of your
motherboard and expansion card IO along with the power in for your power supply
unit all the cables that you would need to run to the top of your case because
of how the io is laid out are managed through a sizable port hole in the back
of the Tower below this Cable Management hole is the grill and removable fan
filter for your power supply and while I do really appreciate removable fan
filters this one can be a little bit frustrating to remove as it doesn't have
anything to grab onto and it is set into the case I would have appreciated if
they had the fan filter do a slide in mechanism through the top of the case
instead which is actually what I thought they intended when I first saw it but
it's not and for the last stop on our tour of the outside of the F5 is the
underside which is going to be fantastic for anyone who intends to keep their
computer on a carpeted surface to explain this the bottom of the tower is
completely flat and solid made of metal
and just has four little miniature rubber feet allowing for extremely
limited air flow and largely removes gross dust and particle pickup which
would be expected from a c computer with a bottom intake which is placed on a
carpeted surface but to allow for pretty much any air flow at all there's a
fairly sizable Gap built into the bottom which allows the two large large 180 mm
air penetrator fans to breathe quite deeply through their removable fan
filter which is also tucked in neatly under the bottom of the case Silverstone
notes in their very detailed manual that you can remove the filter by simply
pulling it to the side but this doesn't seem entirely possible due to a plastic
lip which actually helps keep the filter in place I would alternatively suggest
that you just place your hands on both sides of the case and pry down on the
fan filter with your fingers pulling it directly off instead of attempting to
slide off the doors on this case are quite unconventional to open them you
will need to venture back up to the top of the case reaching under the lip of
the side panel and you will find a hidden switch in one fluid motion you
can both press the switch and pull up the side panel freeing it from the case
quite elegant overall I would like to note but please also note that you will
need to press the switch down when installing the doors instead of just
pressing on them to get them back into position please don't break that little
switch another thing I noticed when removing the doors was the shape of the
support structure for said doors it lends itself to the function of being a
handle as well now I didn't find this feature noted anywhere in their manual
but they seem very solid and easy to grab hold of so I decided to ogre test
it they passed with flying colors luckily enough so you heard it here
first the f25 also happens to feature handles once you enter the main
compartment you'll be able to see exactly how those large 180 mm fans in
the bottom will be able to cool your various components because of this this
awesome cooling setup we decided to install an air cooler and not bother
with its fans as set included fans will be able to take care of it already which
results in a quiet and quite cool looking setup but if you want to install
a liquid cooler you would be able to fit the radiator either in the 120 mm Grill
slot above the CPU socket or you could remove the dual 180 mm fans in the
bottom and install up to a 2X 140 mm
radiator or a 3x0 MM Radiator in that
bottom placement on the left hand side we have a squeeze Mount hard drive cage
which is quite easy to use and holds the hard drives quite securely while
allowing for a securing screw if you're worried about them at all above the cage
is a vertically installed power supply it is recommended to install a power
supply no longer than 160 mm here but if
you did need more space for a longer power supply you could remove the hard
drive cage below allowing essentially any consumer power supply to fit just
fine this Tower allows for up to 34 14.2
mm long graphics cards and 162 mm tall
CPU coolers the CPU Cooler spec does seem a little bit conservative though
but that kind of makes sense cuz Silverstone probably doesn't want your cooler pressed up against the window
which is definitely understandable that brings us to the inside view of the
Silverstone logo from the front of the case which I would have really liked to
see in black plastic instead of white as it is visible from the outside through
the window and sticks out like a sore thumb the wires also don't help with
large unsleeved sections close to that white panel behind the motherboard tray
there are two well-placed and easy to use SSD mounting spots and the
installation housing for the Slimline optical drive that we noticed on the
front of the case the cable management options back here are quite limited
however with only a couple zap straps Hooks and no default runs it can get a
little messy and while the motherboard tray is quite solid which feels quite
nice it's also kind of annoying because there's a lot of support structure
behind the motherboard which will definitely obstruct your cable runs last
but not least there's the fact there is no rubber grommets to hide the cable
mess which is visible through the left side of the case and that side window in
conclusion this is an absolutely beautiful case if you're looking for a
refined sleek and elegant look which uses solid metal construction throughout
it will perform quite well it also performs quite well in air cooled
environments thanks to that built-in airflow allowance to the Beast 180 mm
air penetrators in the bottom of the case but it does suffer from the cable
management department a poorly sleeved power supply and stock wires from the
front IO paired with a complete lack of rubber grommets can hamper the overall
look which is greatly disappointing when compared to the extreme attention to
detail given to the rest of the tower speaking of attention to detail our
friends over at chiro have a fantastic new product that they would like us to
show off today well technically it's a series of new products that they have
titled their flavors lineup these are an adaptation of their wildly popular Dan
bort 10,400 Mah portable battery bank
that we showcased in this video not sure
where they're going to put that they have seven new flavors for any type of
taste chocolate vanilla banana vent matcha which is Brandon's favorite
strawberry which is lion's favorite I'm sure you can see why it's freaking pink
and pumpkin hm that's pretty cool that they're releasing a pumpkin one so close
to Halloween eh yes it is and chiro
thinks so too so they're offering a special deal on their pumpkin flavor in
the celebration of Halloween from October 31st to November 2nd the pumpkin
flavor will be available through Amazon for $29.99 on the first 50 units that's
ridiculous and $39.99 for every unit
after that which is still fairly ridiculous you can check out their whole
flavors lineup in the link in the video description and I want you guys to let
us know in the comments do you have any kind of choice like which which one is
your favorite color does it even really matter to you I'm sure they'd love to
hear what you have to say so let us know in the comments down below also in the
comments down below let me know what you thought of the F5 if you don't like commenting below
videos and you don't like YouTube comments you can jump over to the Forum
if you don't like the ads while you're there you can become an awesome subscriber person
yeah that's how awesome and get rid of all the ads on the Forum and jump back
to YouTube and subscribe because we make cool videos and stuff also like and
dislike depending on which color you like that's doesn't make any sense but
