Thanks @M1k3H, I'll bear that in mind.

I'm thinking of going for the white one myself @scorchedbee. I've always had black/dark grey/gunmetal before, so feel like changing it up. Let us know what you think of it.

That i will do, coming from a kolink Castle, which for the money is a lovely looking case, but airflow is dire!

It looks nice in white:
I swapped the fans for the white Shadow Wings 2 PWM, pretty much the same spec as the originals, but in keeping with the colour scheme.
(ignore the terrible state of the carpet, my cat likes to sleep agains the wall there and the room needs decorating badly, I just haven't found the time

Nice. Must say that I like that you can do something with the case's lighting without having to use mobo software.

Unfortunately you can't - that's running off my motherboard headers (the pink strips are the Phanteks Neon Digital strips)

Really? Maybe I'm confusing it with another case, but I thought reviews said you can cycle through a few modes/colours via the button near the front I/O.

My bad - I misread that as "I like that you can do something like that with the case's lighting"... I blame the 3 hours of sleep and not enough coffee
Yes, you can cycle through a few modes/colours with the button on the top

Can someone with a 500DX to me a favour and check if my motherboard would fit inside?
Official suport for largest size is ATX but my motherboard is slightly wider.
Standard ATX = 30.5 x 24.4cm
My board = 30.5 x 26.4cm
It think it might work looking at the pictures in this thread, just looking for confirmation.

Mine came today, i have ordered a h100i RGB Platinum but i couldnt wait! So transferred all over read to put the new cooler on when it arrives!
Unsure what RGB to go for but a really nice case! Only tip, which is probably a total idiot thing not to do, is to intstall the cpu 8pin cable before you screw the motherboard in. Was a bit tight for space.
I am thinking of putting the rgb cooler master fan, when the aio arrives,under the psu shroud blowing to the GPU, maybe only at 300rpm, just for aesthetics more than anything
Lovely case though and really happy with it.
Time to test temperatures now!

Your GPU bracket needs more RGB

I think it needs refilling! Just fit perfectly so thought why not, quite like it too!

Yeah. it's a nice touch. Looking good overall. Temps nice and low?

Under Prime95/Furmark :
Vega 56 = 75 degrees, hotspot 91 degrees
Ryzen 3600 = 84 degrees
Gaming:
Vega 56 = 72 degrees, hotspot 88 degrees
Ryzen 3600 = 76 degrees.
I do have a corsair h100I Platinum on the way so hopefully that will bring temps down on cpu, also the 140mm fan in the roof will then go in the front which should lower GPU a touch, bear in mind vega runs hot anyway!
Was also thinking, the coolermaster RGB fan to go under the psu shroud, blowing into the gpu at a silent 300rpm (Mainly for looks tbh)

Settled on my colours until the h100 comes, then will have a dilemma! top two 120 fans red or white!
Associate
so the h100i fits, barely! My god its tight to the ram ha

its literally sat ontop of the ram, all screws in however. So a heads up for anyone dont buy snazzy tall rgb ram with an aio!
