welcome to my unboxing and Showcase of the zelman z11 Plus hf1 or Hellfire one
this is pretty similar to the Zalman z11 plus that we took a look at before so
we're not going to go too much into the details of the case itself but more into
what separates the hf1 Edition from the
regular case you can also check Che out my previous unboxing of the
zelman z11 plus just by searching for it
on the YouTubes so let's go ahead and open this
up you got your hard foam packaging not my favorite but the corners are well
protected so I wouldn't expect you to run into any issues with this particular
one now what's special about the HF sorry yeah HF one addition of the
case is the fact that it has a pretty neat color scheme that if you're into to
you know you know dark and demonic games
like uh you know Dungeon Crawlers that involve like hell and fire that uh might
be a pretty good match or if you wanted to do a theme system around something
like that so let's go ahead and check this out so the right so the z11 plus is
pretty much what we've come to expect good cooling so the whole front has got
uh excellent ventilation let's go ahead and
oh oh oh I was so close so close to
getting it in one piece so at the front we've got our 120 mm cooling fan we've
also got ample ventilation the hard drives get again ample cooling from the
additional ventilation that's available here the side window is actually very
very unique so it kind of pops out which might seem like kind of an odd design
choice at the beginning but then if you go oh wait what if the end user wants
a huge Tower cooler on their CPU that would be a way to achieve it
cuz there's lots and lots of room for that at the top you've got a little tray
for storing things you've also got your front USB 2 front audio front USB 3
power switch reset switch and your hard drive indicator LED but I actually kind
of like these designs as long as the manufacturer leaves enough space for
ventilation where it looks clean from the front and you've got lots of cooling
from the back so you know business in the front party in the back
um this one like the design I've seen ones in the last little while that I
didn't like it as much cuz there's like this much of a gap and like no actual
room for air flow but this is this is fine okay from the back you got your IO
you got your 120 mm fan you got seven PCI slots in your standard standard
these days I guess it didn't used to be standard not that long ago but uh bottom
mounted power supply so let's go ahead and uh open this baby up so you guys can
whoops it's okay don't worry about it you can if you haven't seen the z11 plus
yet you can have a look at it from the inside so there's an 80 mm cooling fan
that's going to take care of your drive cooling also got a black sleeve cable
it's good little details like that do count you guys and then in the front
you've got your red LED fan in the back you've got another red LED fan in terms
of included accessories you've got oh look at that they include an eight pin
uh Power extension see again details
detail that count all your included Hardware as well as a couple PCI
brackets and then you can mount this is actually neat as well because a lot of
the time the uh the back of your PCI E
slots can get extremely hot because graphic cards are hot and they blow heat
down on them so you can throw a little 60m fan in there to take care of that
you've also got another 120 mm red LED
fan up here in the top and these are all using silver cables I don't mind silver
cables I'd prefer black but it's not the end of the world you got your cable
management holes you got your motherboards CPU cutout for easy
installation of large aftermarket coolers uh this is kind of disappointing
you've got a USB 3 pass through so you'll plug these into the back of the
board would have preferred to see an internal header in this day and age
you've got another 80mm fan on the other side that might come in handy again for
Drive Cooling and all of your drive rails are
included where exactly hold on a sec yeah so apparently that's the same
mistake I made last time that's an SSD Mount I mean a f you could put a fan
there it's up to you uh as for the hard
drive mounts you just use these rubber isolation grommets and screws slide them
in here it's pretty much tooless although you have the option I guess of
uh of installing a screw no probably not do you I don't see
anything okay so they're tooless um all black interior which is a
must these days and my opinion and ample
room for cable management see I can even like jam my hand back there should I
should I see fit so thank you for checking out my unboxing and uh stay
tuned we're going to show you guys what this will look like with like a red themed color build inside it all right
so we did a quick build it's not a complete build or anything like that but
we've got a Maximus 5 formula in there we've got the zman cnps
9900 and that's the red LED version so you can see the red LED fan that comes
in the top the red LED fan that comes in the back you got a very cool glowing
effect going on inside this system because it's got like a frosted uh or a
smoked uh a smoked side panel you can
see through the top it's got like kind of a neat sort of you know hellish glow
the front again you've got a bit of a glow so overall would I say that the red
hf1 Edition is cooler than the regular
uh z11 plus yeah actually I mean it looks great we've got a fatality 1000 W
power supply in there so that's why you got some additional red red glow coming
from the bottom and then there's the it's very quiet too actually I kind of
surprised at that I was usually you get those sort of I mean it's zman so that
should have been my expectation but usually you get those like uh
performance Edition parts and they tend to be like really really loud that's
what it looks like the side panel off looking good actually okay so thank
you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the zelman z11 plus hf1
