the ultimate diy gaming experience set

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.240
the airflow to 11. perhaps not sensible but extreme and awesome these are all

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:17.279
things that cooler master has said about the new half 700 but

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.680
is it just really heavy or is it also

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:23.039
all that stuff oh god oh my god i'm gonna blow a sphincter to

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.599
find out we got the fastest and hottest gaming

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:33.040
components on the market and we're going to be putting this case

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:35.120
up against an open-air test bench to see

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:40.480
if its claims hold true or if it's like the other half of cooler

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000
masters products thanks to origin pc for sponsoring this video origin's newest

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.399
line of custom gaming desktops offers Intel's latest 12th gen older leg

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:54.520
link in the video description

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

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:13.280
GPU okay have you noticed anything different about it well what i noticed

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

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:22.080
so you'd notice like the holes in the back plate but

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:27.520
okay i mean can this cooler even handle it no

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:31.280
it's slower than stock oh god this isn't a video about the test bench

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

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:42.159
have a price for this thing but based on the fact that it weighs

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:44.560
25 kilos that is about 55 pounds for our

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.960
american friends i can tell you it's probably not going to be minus

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:52.799
Linus there's instructions on the top of how to open it oh

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.840
oh fortunately you did find the tool thing it's in a bad location from the

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:00.799
factory in this one it's changing for the production unit oh yeah it's like

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:04.960
hidden you wouldn't

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:09.280
you wouldn't notice it if this got stuck in here there it is

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.239
yeah holy crap are these all glass yeah

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:19.840
wow that is a really aggressive looking

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:25.520
design oh my god look how freaking wide this thing is

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

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

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:40.640
going to be tedious save a couple for later when they're lit

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.480
up or i can keep it oh my god no oh no

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:45.360
and these middle ones are split we're at the point now where computer cases are

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.760
getting so complicated they're going to have to start having like a pdi

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.280
delivery and inspection fee in terms of features at the front we've got our

00:02:51.040 --> 00:03:00.239
reset and power switches our microphone and headphone jack four usb 3 type a

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:01.920
ports usb type c and this display can

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:09.680
show system information like temperatures fan rpms kind of whatever

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.680
you want to show on it it is so heavy

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.000
okay is the paint supposed to be something

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.599
special yeah this is a pre-production and they found in shipping them to

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:24.560
people that the paint gets a bit scuffed up oh got it okay you can actually

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:28.080
really tell how engineering sample it is in spots like this one other change in

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:31.519
the production version is they wanted this to be totally tool-less but they're

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

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:40.799
off which could be really really bad

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:44.319
you could kill a man with this thing tempered glass side panels

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:49.840
vibration dampeners magnetic filters whoa

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:54.400
that's where the weight is oh yeah that is

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:59.519
weighty that is substantial i mean that's what thick freaking tempered

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:04.959
glass will do for you wow uh these are 180 mil

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:06.560
200. 200 mil they don't tell you how

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

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

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:24.800
it looks like holy schnikeys you could load the top up with you can fit six

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:26.880
120s up there oh freaking what oh my god

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.800
there's so many front panel connectors on this thing it's like a bundle this

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.560
thick between all the fans and usb and

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:37.840
power switch and everything here oh you want to over vote them down yeah i want

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

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:46.240
we've been working together for five years oh this is cool they've got a

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:51.040
cable management or rather a don't bother cable management panel on the

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

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

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:02.479
sure wow it takes a long time to ramp up at

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.240
five volts give her some more juice let's see like seven volts yep so we

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

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.400
thousand RPM now that is a substantial amount of air movement i guess that's

00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:18.720
what they call turning it up to 11 maybe they meant 1100 RPM

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

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

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:32.560
it's dead i think when we started it with 17 volts oh crap

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

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.360
towards you here you go alex this is your doing can you start helping me

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

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.840
have any more cooler master fans and using these liam lee ones instead but

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:52.320
they do club together it's pretty nice yeah those are super cool yeah power

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:57.759
lead just barely reaches the integrated power hub wow this thing has tube

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:01.280
integrated RGB hubs one here one here

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.039
damn holy crap it's loaded for bear oh

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:08.160
i'm gonna leave this for now that looks like an absolute fingerprint magnet

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

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

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.800
z690 maximus extreme that hopefully has

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:25.680
the capacitor on the right way you know with how many motherboards still have

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:29.680
5.1 analog outputs we should just do like an aliexpress surround sound

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:33.680
speaker setup get subscribed if you guys want to see that these cable management

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:39.759
grommets don't appear to be compatible with the

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:39.759
back plate on this motherboard

00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:47.039
oh my finger holy crap even without the grommets it's still

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:50.880
right up against the motherboard tray look at the cooler compatibility from

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:54.639
the side uh is this supposed to be coming off like this

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

00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:03.120
we've gone with a 1300 watt power supply

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.680
from seasonic because our GPU now draws

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:10.080
about 800 watts on its own is that cooler master set out to make the power

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:15.280
supply installation completely tool-less so two of what would normally be screw

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:19.840
holes have been replaced with pins that go into the back of the power supply and

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:24.080
the other two are thumb screws like really hold it in place how the

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

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:31.440
seven there were two more on that mid plate that's nine apparently the hard

00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:35.199
drives are all tool-less too to put those in of course oh really yep they

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:38.880
have rubber instead of screws do you want to go horizontal or vertical in the

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.319
GPU i think we should let the people decide let's just have them use the

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:48.000
thumbs up and thumbs down on the video thumbs up if you want vertical thumbs

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.000
down if you want a conventional mount

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

00:07:54.319 --> 00:08:00.400
mounting how are those tool-less

00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.199
they're just posts include with the case is this fairly

00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:06.560
nice gen 4 PCIe riser it smells kind of

00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:12.080
weird though oh that's super weird can i smell it

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:17.120
sure andy we got some weird kinks around here Thunderbolt 4. what the hell what

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.879
would you connect via Thunderbolt that you would want inside your computer oh i

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

00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:28.160
i love that the theme of this build is abused hardware we've got the shunt

00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:33.519
modded GPU the motherboard that was prepped for sub-zero we've got the fan

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.599
that's not abused that's dead this is ridiculously easy to cable manage

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:43.360
basically just cram all the stuff in the thing and then

00:08:40.719 --> 00:08:47.600
close up the latches and then cover the thing

00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:49.360
do you think that six fans is enough no

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

00:08:53.680 --> 00:08:59.600
reservoir pump combos using these

00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:04.720
brackets just in case you're into it i really really appreciate

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:08.160
these radiator mounts that just come out and you're able to

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:11.760
attach the fans and stuff all of our sleepers and a lot of the custom work

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

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:19.440
better alex i have some concerns about negative static pressure here i think we

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

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

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:32.800
just completely snapped off i got pricing from cooler master how much do

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:36.880
you think it is i'm guessing 349 us the

00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:40.160
global price is 500 us and in the us

00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:41.519
because tariffs it's 650

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

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

00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.519
review in 100 years and that's one that nobody's

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

00:09:58.640 --> 00:10:04.399
feel like we should have water cooled up just to fill up that void

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

00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:08.640
lot of cable management

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

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:22.000
you did my Intel upgrade where instead of like doing it properly you just put

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:26.399
it straight through and tie it yeah it's terrible i think you mean

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

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

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.920
no one will ever know oh nice right oh

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

00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:44.959
a little arrow indicating where it goes

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

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

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.800
well it's more now

00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:00.320
i forget how this worked pull oh there there we go there was

00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:04.880
another step back okay yeah cool cool cool cool oh we never put this hard

00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:06.079
drive cage back in um

00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:11.440
bye-bye moment of truth i didn't even show the cool little block

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

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:18.480
power supply on oh well that looks really cool but why are none of our fans

00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:22.560
working like actually none of them this one is

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:27.680
working that's the one that we plugged into the motherboard okay so maybe we

00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:29.279
didn't plug in the fan hub ah and all

00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:34.480
the panels are coming off let there be light

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

00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:43.360
awesome okay ow screen's on yeah yay what's the

00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:48.560
screen showing make it yours about the 500 isn't enough to make it

00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:52.399
mine if you look here you can see they probably wanted to do curved glass here

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.480
but like Corsair probably discovered that it was cost prohibitive remember

00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:00.240
that early prototype of the 10000d yes oh yeah

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

00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:07.040
great this is why you should never give your friends your computer's password

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

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:17.200
doing here so we got prime95 firmware running concurrently i see what you mean

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

00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:26.959
it's thermals limited probably the memory is at 112

00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:32.480
that's probably what limiting is right now or 110. at the temperatures of the

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

00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:42.320
doesn't even feel like it's heated up rear exhaust yes coming right off the

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:47.600
CPU cooler here is it overclocked nope this is stock it's doing 4.9 gigahertz

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.600
let's get fogged up

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:56.079
hello we have fluid yeah

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

00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:03.040
have an idea we still have ln2 here

00:13:01.040 --> 00:13:06.399
sorry how are we looking

00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:09.839
well i'm not able to see like anything you can't see anything immediately

00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:13.120
disappears there's so much airflow uh okay

00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:16.320
it looks like it's going in and then probably up and out

00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:20.160
damn i wish our smoke machine was working

00:13:18.079 --> 00:13:24.160
how do our results look marginally worse i would say turns out fans work but

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:27.680
there's no substitute for just drawing completely fresh ambient air in i'm

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

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.760
identical the clock speeds temperatures are both effectively the same and you

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

00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:46.639
was before so for an air-cooled build is it as good as literally putting your

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:50.800
motherboard on a cardboard box no meaning it's not the best bang for

00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:54.639
the buck case on the market but i don't think that's what cooler master

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:58.320
was going for with the half 700 evo as for the looks

00:13:56.560 --> 00:14:02.399
maybe polarizing personally i think it looks really cool and i think especially

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

00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:11.920
radiators up top use this to feed them with fresh air another radiator in the

00:14:09.199 --> 00:14:14.399
bottom man loads of pump spots dead silent

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:22.160

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

00:15:04.959 --> 00:15:13.040
in a cooler master half case when we used a two horsepower fan

00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:13.040
that had the most airflow
