Cooler Master nepton 240m features an exclusive pump design and 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:26.640 their new silencio fans to provide impressive near silent performance click 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:29.279 now to learn more The Fortress F5 is the 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:34.680 more expensive smaller and more refined little brother to the raven 00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:36.840 rv5 a similar Case by Silverstone it 00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:41.440 first shows us this refined Style with its front panel a very sleek and clean 00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:45.480 looking metal finish accented only by a reflective strip along the bottom which 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:49.719 has an illuminated Silverstone logo behind it and the slot loing optical 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:54.320 drive bay on the right hand side the left side panel is a plain Metal finish 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.399 with a relatively small window cutout and that same reflective strip along the 00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:01.920 bottom just without the Silverstone logo this time my only gripe with this 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.880 particular panel is that I would have liked to see the window shifted up a 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:09.439 little bit this would have pulled the expansion cards and a little bit more of 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:14.520 the motherboard into view and done a better job of hiding the cable clutter 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.360 at the bottom also the right side panel is more or less the same as this left 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.520 side panel just without the window cutout at the front of the top of the 00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:27.439 case we have a set of solid and satisfying power and reset buttons which 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:32.720 are on either side of a flip cover which hides the audio headers dual USB 3.0 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:38.079 ports and two fan switches which have high medium and low settings despite 00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:42.759 only being labeled for high and low behind the top IO we have more top IO 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.920 because of how the motherboard is oriented once you slide the protective 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.840 Grill back and lift it off of the case you're able to access all of your 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:54.079 motherboard and expansion card IO along with the power in for your power supply 00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:57.880 unit all the cables that you would need to run to the top of your case because 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:01.719 of how the io is laid out are managed through a sizable port hole in the back 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:05.680 of the Tower below this Cable Management hole is the grill and removable fan 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:09.479 filter for your power supply and while I do really appreciate removable fan 00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:13.760 filters this one can be a little bit frustrating to remove as it doesn't have 00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:18.800 anything to grab onto and it is set into the case I would have appreciated if 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.000 they had the fan filter do a slide in mechanism through the top of the case 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:26.280 instead which is actually what I thought they intended when I first saw it but 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:31.200 it's not and for the last stop on our tour of the outside of the F5 is the 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:35.160 underside which is going to be fantastic for anyone who intends to keep their 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:40.080 computer on a carpeted surface to explain this the bottom of the tower is 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:41.800 completely flat and solid made of metal 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.200 and just has four little miniature rubber feet allowing for extremely 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.959 limited air flow and largely removes gross dust and particle pickup which 00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:54.239 would be expected from a c computer with a bottom intake which is placed on a 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:58.159 carpeted surface but to allow for pretty much any air flow at all there's a 00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:03.440 fairly sizable Gap built into the bottom which allows the two large large 180 mm 00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:07.680 air penetrator fans to breathe quite deeply through their removable fan 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:12.080 filter which is also tucked in neatly under the bottom of the case Silverstone 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:15.519 notes in their very detailed manual that you can remove the filter by simply 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:19.840 pulling it to the side but this doesn't seem entirely possible due to a plastic 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:23.680 lip which actually helps keep the filter in place I would alternatively suggest 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:27.599 that you just place your hands on both sides of the case and pry down on the 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:31.599 fan filter with your fingers pulling it directly off instead of attempting to 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.959 slide off the doors on this case are quite unconventional to open them you 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:38.720 will need to venture back up to the top of the case reaching under the lip of 00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:43.319 the side panel and you will find a hidden switch in one fluid motion you 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:47.560 can both press the switch and pull up the side panel freeing it from the case 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:51.959 quite elegant overall I would like to note but please also note that you will 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.519 need to press the switch down when installing the doors instead of just 00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:58.879 pressing on them to get them back into position please don't break that little 00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:03.519 switch another thing I noticed when removing the doors was the shape of the 00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:07.760 support structure for said doors it lends itself to the function of being a 00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:11.959 handle as well now I didn't find this feature noted anywhere in their manual 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.040 but they seem very solid and easy to grab hold of so I decided to ogre test 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:20.560 it they passed with flying colors luckily enough so you heard it here 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.840 first the f25 also happens to feature handles once you enter the main 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:28.040 compartment you'll be able to see exactly how those large 180 mm fans in 00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:31.360 the bottom will be able to cool your various components because of this this 00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:35.639 awesome cooling setup we decided to install an air cooler and not bother 00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:40.120 with its fans as set included fans will be able to take care of it already which 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.759 results in a quiet and quite cool looking setup but if you want to install 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:49.240 a liquid cooler you would be able to fit the radiator either in the 120 mm Grill 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:55.600 slot above the CPU socket or you could remove the dual 180 mm fans in the 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:59.360 bottom and install up to a 2X 140 mm 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:01.240 radiator or a 3x0 MM Radiator in that 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.960 bottom placement on the left hand side we have a squeeze Mount hard drive cage 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.919 which is quite easy to use and holds the hard drives quite securely while 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.880 allowing for a securing screw if you're worried about them at all above the cage 00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:17.880 is a vertically installed power supply it is recommended to install a power 00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:19.800 supply no longer than 160 mm here but if 00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:24.479 you did need more space for a longer power supply you could remove the hard 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:30.360 drive cage below allowing essentially any consumer power supply to fit just 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:33.720 fine this Tower allows for up to 34 14.2 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:36.039 mm long graphics cards and 162 mm tall 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:39.199 CPU coolers the CPU Cooler spec does seem a little bit conservative though 00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:44.400 but that kind of makes sense cuz Silverstone probably doesn't want your cooler pressed up against the window 00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:48.199 which is definitely understandable that brings us to the inside view of the 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:52.440 Silverstone logo from the front of the case which I would have really liked to 00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:56.600 see in black plastic instead of white as it is visible from the outside through 00:05:54.400 --> 00:06:01.160 the window and sticks out like a sore thumb the wires also don't help with 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:05.000 large unsleeved sections close to that white panel behind the motherboard tray 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.599 there are two well-placed and easy to use SSD mounting spots and the 00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:12.080 installation housing for the Slimline optical drive that we noticed on the 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:17.319 front of the case the cable management options back here are quite limited 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:21.560 however with only a couple zap straps Hooks and no default runs it can get a 00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:26.960 little messy and while the motherboard tray is quite solid which feels quite 00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:30.000 nice it's also kind of annoying because there's a lot of support structure 00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:33.800 behind the motherboard which will definitely obstruct your cable runs last 00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:38.520 but not least there's the fact there is no rubber grommets to hide the cable 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:43.000 mess which is visible through the left side of the case and that side window in 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:47.000 conclusion this is an absolutely beautiful case if you're looking for a 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:51.400 refined sleek and elegant look which uses solid metal construction throughout 00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:55.039 it will perform quite well it also performs quite well in air cooled 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:59.879 environments thanks to that built-in airflow allowance to the Beast 180 mm 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:04.680 air penetrators in the bottom of the case but it does suffer from the cable 00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:08.759 management department a poorly sleeved power supply and stock wires from the 00:07:06.599 --> 00:07:13.360 front IO paired with a complete lack of rubber grommets can hamper the overall 00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:17.599 look which is greatly disappointing when compared to the extreme attention to 00:07:14.919 --> 00:07:21.039 detail given to the rest of the tower speaking of attention to detail our 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.680 friends over at chiro have a fantastic new product that they would like us to 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:29.080 show off today well technically it's a series of new products that they have 00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:34.639 titled their flavors lineup these are an adaptation of their wildly popular Dan 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:38.639 bort 10,400 Mah portable battery bank 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:40.199 that we showcased in this video not sure 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:45.159 where they're going to put that they have seven new flavors for any type of 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:49.879 taste chocolate vanilla banana vent matcha which is Brandon's favorite 00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:54.639 strawberry which is lion's favorite I'm sure you can see why it's freaking pink 00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:59.199 and pumpkin hm that's pretty cool that they're releasing a pumpkin one so close 00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.840 to Halloween eh yes it is and chiro 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:04.800 thinks so too so they're offering a special deal on their pumpkin flavor in 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:09.720 the celebration of Halloween from October 31st to November 2nd the pumpkin 00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:16.319 flavor will be available through Amazon for $29.99 on the first 50 units that's 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.319 ridiculous and $39.99 for every unit 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:21.759 after that which is still fairly ridiculous you can check out their whole 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.520 flavors lineup in the link in the video description and I want you guys to let 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:30.360 us know in the comments do you have any kind of choice like which which one is 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.760 your favorite color does it even really matter to you I'm sure they'd love to 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.919 hear what you have to say so let us know in the comments down below also in the 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:42.320 comments down below let me know what you thought of the F5 if you don't like commenting below 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:45.080 videos and you don't like YouTube comments you can jump over to the Forum 00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:51.120 if you don't like the ads while you're there you can become an awesome subscriber person
