00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:10,240
the airflow to 11. perhaps not sensible but extreme and awesome these are all

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:17,279
things that cooler master has said about the new half 700 but

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:19,680
is it just really heavy or is it also

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:23,039
all that stuff oh god oh my god i'm gonna blow a sphincter to

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:27,599
find out we got the fastest and hottest gaming

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:33,040
components on the market and we're going to be putting this case

8
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:35,120
up against an open-air test bench to see

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,480
if its claims hold true or if it's like the other half of cooler

00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,520
link in the video description

14
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:08,720
well this is about as hungry as it gets these days in it oh well especially that

15
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:13,280
GPU okay have you noticed anything different about it well what i noticed

16
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:17,759
is there was a little bit of goop on the p mode q mode switch i was thinking more

17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,080
so you'd notice like the holes in the back plate but

18
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:27,520
okay i mean can this cooler even handle it no

19
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,280
it's slower than stock oh god this isn't a video about the test bench

20
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,920
launch just build a pc got my jerry rig everything box cutter yeah now we don't

21
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:42,159
have a price for this thing but based on the fact that it weighs

22
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:44,560
25 kilos that is about 55 pounds for our

23
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,960
american friends i can tell you it's probably not going to be minus

24
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,799
Linus there's instructions on the top of how to open it oh

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,840
oh fortunately you did find the tool thing it's in a bad location from the

26
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,799
factory in this one it's changing for the production unit oh yeah it's like

27
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,960
hidden you wouldn't

28
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,280
you wouldn't notice it if this got stuck in here there it is

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,239
yeah holy crap are these all glass yeah

30
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,840
wow that is a really aggressive looking

31
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:25,520
design oh my god look how freaking wide this thing is

32
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:30,879
they were like no it's not wide enough yet let's put the i o on the wide see

33
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,310
it's not really the side it's the wide it's the side of the vibe oh this is

34
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,640
going to be tedious save a couple for later when they're lit

35
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,480
up or i can keep it oh my god no oh no

36
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:45,360
and these middle ones are split we're at the point now where computer cases are

37
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,760
getting so complicated they're going to have to start having like a pdi

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,280
delivery and inspection fee in terms of features at the front we've got our

39
00:02:51,040 --> 00:03:00,239
reset and power switches our microphone and headphone jack four usb 3 type a

40
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,920
ports usb type c and this display can

41
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:09,680
show system information like temperatures fan rpms kind of whatever

42
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:09,680
you want to show on it it is so heavy

43
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,000
okay is the paint supposed to be something

44
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,599
special yeah this is a pre-production and they found in shipping them to

45
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,560
people that the paint gets a bit scuffed up oh got it okay you can actually

46
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:28,080
really tell how engineering sample it is in spots like this one other change in

47
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,519
the production version is they wanted this to be totally tool-less but they're

48
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:38,799
going to add a screw here because apparently they ran into issues where people would pick it up and it would pop

49
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,799
off which could be really really bad

50
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:44,319
you could kill a man with this thing tempered glass side panels

51
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,840
vibration dampeners magnetic filters whoa

52
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,400
that's where the weight is oh yeah that is

53
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:59,519
weighty that is substantial i mean that's what thick freaking tempered

54
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:04,959
glass will do for you wow uh these are 180 mil

55
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,560
200. 200 mil they don't tell you how

56
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:11,439
fast they go though so i kind of want to just try that right now two 200 mils in

57
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:17,199
the front a 120 drawing in air at the bottom and then two 120s at the back and

58
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:24,800
it looks like holy schnikeys you could load the top up with you can fit six

59
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,880
120s up there oh freaking what oh my god

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,800
there's so many front panel connectors on this thing it's like a bundle this

61
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:34,560
thick between all the fans and usb and

62
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,840
power switch and everything here oh you want to over vote them down yeah i want

63
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:41,280
to see what they do at 17 volts how did i know that was coming it's almost like

64
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:46,240
we've been working together for five years oh this is cool they've got a

65
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,040
cable management or rather a don't bother cable management panel on the

66
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,880
back here and you basically just go yep i don't want to see any of that anymore

67
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,160
and you cover it up we need to stick a sticker i guess just like put it here

68
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,479
sure wow it takes a long time to ramp up at

69
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,240
five volts give her some more juice let's see like seven volts yep so we

70
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,039
ended up at around 750 so let's see 12 volt now now we're moving this is over a

71
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,400
thousand RPM now that is a substantial amount of air movement i guess that's

72
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:18,720
what they call turning it up to 11 maybe they meant 1100 RPM

73
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:23,120
all things considered it is not loud no not at all is it a current limit again

74
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,199
it doesn't want to go faster really yeah it's going down oh it's smoking

75
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:32,560
it's dead i think when we started it with 17 volts oh crap

76
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,840
oh it stinks it's a good thing it doesn't turn on it'll blow its smell

77
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,360
towards you here you go alex this is your doing can you start helping me

78
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:44,800
build this thing because it's pretty clear this is going to take a team effort i do feel kind of bad we don't

79
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,840
have any more cooler master fans and using these liam lee ones instead but

80
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:52,320
they do club together it's pretty nice yeah those are super cool yeah power

81
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,759
lead just barely reaches the integrated power hub wow this thing has tube

82
00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:01,280
integrated RGB hubs one here one here

83
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:03,039
damn holy crap it's loaded for bear oh

84
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:08,160
i'm gonna leave this for now that looks like an absolute fingerprint magnet

85
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:12,160
we're gonna take that off last oh my goodness it's still heavy now's probably

86
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:18,960
a good time to take a closer look at our test bench we've got a 12 900 k on a

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,800
z690 maximus extreme that hopefully has

88
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,680
the capacitor on the right way you know with how many motherboards still have

89
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,680
5.1 analog outputs we should just do like an aliexpress surround sound

90
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,680
speaker setup get subscribed if you guys want to see that these cable management

91
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:39,759
grommets don't appear to be compatible with the

92
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:39,759
back plate on this motherboard

93
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:47,039
oh my finger holy crap even without the grommets it's still

94
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,880
right up against the motherboard tray look at the cooler compatibility from

95
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,639
the side uh is this supposed to be coming off like this

96
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:59,680
oh the whole thing's moving now a really cool feature of this case by the way

97
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:03,120
we've gone with a 1300 watt power supply

98
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,680
from seasonic because our GPU now draws

99
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:10,080
about 800 watts on its own is that cooler master set out to make the power

100
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:15,280
supply installation completely tool-less so two of what would normally be screw

101
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:19,840
holes have been replaced with pins that go into the back of the power supply and

102
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:24,080
the other two are thumb screws like really hold it in place how the

103
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,240
freak many hard drives can go in here at least one two three another four that's

104
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,440
seven there were two more on that mid plate that's nine apparently the hard

105
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,199
drives are all tool-less too to put those in of course oh really yep they

106
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,880
have rubber instead of screws do you want to go horizontal or vertical in the

107
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,319
GPU i think we should let the people decide let's just have them use the

108
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:48,000
thumbs up and thumbs down on the video thumbs up if you want vertical thumbs

109
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,000
down if you want a conventional mount

110
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:56,080
they're all thumbs up wow wow let's go vertical so this also has tool-less GPU

111
00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:00,400
mounting how are those tool-less

112
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,199
they're just posts include with the case is this fairly

113
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:06,560
nice gen 4 PCIe riser it smells kind of

114
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:12,080
weird though oh that's super weird can i smell it

115
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:17,120
sure andy we got some weird kinks around here Thunderbolt 4. what the hell what

116
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,879
would you connect via Thunderbolt that you would want inside your computer oh i

117
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:24,479
thought i had a fart but i feel like if i let that one go i'd get some solid so

118
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:28,160
i love that the theme of this build is abused hardware we've got the shunt

119
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:33,519
modded GPU the motherboard that was prepped for sub-zero we've got the fan

120
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,599
that's not abused that's dead this is ridiculously easy to cable manage

121
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:43,360
basically just cram all the stuff in the thing and then

122
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:47,600
close up the latches and then cover the thing

123
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:49,360
do you think that six fans is enough no

124
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:56,800
we can add two more in the bottom let's do it the hell am i looking at here triple

125
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:59,600
reservoir pump combos using these

126
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:04,720
brackets just in case you're into it i really really appreciate

127
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:08,160
these radiator mounts that just come out and you're able to

128
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,760
attach the fans and stuff all of our sleepers and a lot of the custom work

129
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:16,080
that i've done i've just stolen these from master cases and this one's even

130
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,440
better alex i have some concerns about negative static pressure here i think we

131
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:24,480
need more fans yeah i'm already working on that all right okay i don't actually know how

132
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:28,080
to wire this thing up i just put this on the middle pin of the bottom one and it

133
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,800
just completely snapped off i got pricing from cooler master how much do

134
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:36,880
you think it is i'm guessing 349 us the

135
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:40,160
global price is 500 us and in the us

136
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,519
because tariffs it's 650

137
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:46,800
yeah that's more than i thought it would be and i thought it would be really expensive so this is like a 10 000 d

138
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,519
competitor in the way that they're looking at it well now i feel stupid that this is our first kind of case

139
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,519
review in 100 years and that's one that nobody's

140
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:59,920
gonna actually buy don't put that in the video but look at the space here yeah i almost

141
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,399
feel like we should have water cooled up just to fill up that void

142
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,640
we ready to fire it up are we having a little bit of cable management yeah a

143
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640
lot of cable management

144
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,600
it's good looking i got to give it that i'm going to do this the dirty way like

145
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:22,000
you did my Intel upgrade where instead of like doing it properly you just put

146
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:26,399
it straight through and tie it yeah it's terrible i think you mean

147
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:30,480
tight and perfect you know they say that beggars can't be choosers what i'm not a

148
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:36,399
beggar i could buy my own pc i'm an influencer now Linus i'll cover it

149
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,920
no one will ever know oh nice right oh

150
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:43,279
that's my favorite kind of cable map crap this isn't going to work oh there's

151
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,959
a little arrow indicating where it goes

152
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:49,600
if these were data cables we would not do this oh shoot there's an RGB lead

153
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:54,320
here rap it's heavy now you're saying that like it wasn't in the first place

154
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:56,800
well it's more now

155
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:00,320
i forget how this worked pull oh there there we go there was

156
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:04,880
another step back okay yeah cool cool cool cool oh we never put this hard

157
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,079
drive cage back in um

158
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:11,440
bye-bye moment of truth i didn't even show the cool little block

159
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:15,120
that it had for all of the front panel connectors yeah you also didn't turn the

160
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,480
power supply on oh well that looks really cool but why are none of our fans

161
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,560
working like actually none of them this one is

162
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,680
working that's the one that we plugged into the motherboard okay so maybe we

163
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,279
didn't plug in the fan hub ah and all

164
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:34,480
the panels are coming off let there be light

165
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:38,160
is it okay to plug in usb headers when the system's on i mean no but yes

166
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:43,360
awesome okay ow screen's on yeah yay what's the

167
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:48,560
screen showing make it yours about the 500 isn't enough to make it

168
00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:52,399
mine if you look here you can see they probably wanted to do curved glass here

169
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:56,480
but like Corsair probably discovered that it was cost prohibitive remember

170
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,240
that early prototype of the 10000d yes oh yeah

171
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:04,079
what's the resolution of this display i don't know it looks pretty good it looks

172
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,040
great this is why you should never give your friends your computer's password

173
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,680
should we get the smoke machine while we wait for the smoke machine to fire up why don't you talk me through what we're

174
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:17,200
doing here so we got prime95 firmware running concurrently i see what you mean

175
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:22,639
about the GPU how high did the thermals go on this so it's power limited then no

176
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:26,959
it's thermals limited probably the memory is at 112

177
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:32,480
that's probably what limiting is right now or 110. at the temperatures of the

178
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:37,839
CPU or the GPU we're going to be looking at core clocks yeah this top exhaust

179
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:42,320
doesn't even feel like it's heated up rear exhaust yes coming right off the

180
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,600
CPU cooler here is it overclocked nope this is stock it's doing 4.9 gigahertz

181
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,600
let's get fogged up

182
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:56,079
hello we have fluid yeah

183
00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:01,040
bang oh i told them order the good one and they came back to me with this i

184
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:03,040
have an idea we still have ln2 here

185
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,399
sorry how are we looking

186
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:09,839
well i'm not able to see like anything you can't see anything immediately

187
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:13,120
disappears there's so much airflow uh okay

188
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,320
it looks like it's going in and then probably up and out

189
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:20,160
damn i wish our smoke machine was working

190
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:24,160
how do our results look marginally worse i would say turns out fans work but

191
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:27,680
there's no substitute for just drawing completely fresh ambient air in i'm

192
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:33,920
actually surprised oh i'm not i mean it's like damn as for the GPU it's

193
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:37,760
identical the clock speeds temperatures are both effectively the same and you

194
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,720
should know it's about a half a degree cooler in here now in the case than it

195
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:46,639
was before so for an air-cooled build is it as good as literally putting your

196
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:50,800
motherboard on a cardboard box no meaning it's not the best bang for

197
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:54,639
the buck case on the market but i don't think that's what cooler master

198
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:58,320
was going for with the half 700 evo as for the looks

199
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:02,399
maybe polarizing personally i think it looks really cool and i think especially

200
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,880
for a water cooled build man could you ever do a cool loop in here hey two

201
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:11,920
radiators up top use this to feed them with fresh air another radiator in the

202
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:14,399
bottom man loads of pump spots dead silent

looking for another video to watch maybe check out the last time we did a build

216
00:15:04,959 --> 00:15:13,040
in a cooler master half case when we used a two horsepower fan

217
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,040
that had the most airflow
