Xclio 777 Your Thoughts?

kellaway225 · 4 Apr 2010 at 18:54

I was wondering what people that have used/do use this case think of it, i am talking mainly about the Cooling do you think that the cooling is good enough, i know it has SO many fans but i just wonna make sure as i am thinking about upgrading to this case, i am looking for something with a bit more space and better cooling then my CoolerMaster Scout and was thinking what is this case like? anyone know the dimension differences between the 777 and the scout? like how much taller, thicker and everything is the 777 compared to my current case. what do you think about the Fans? are they too loud or anything?

Any other info you feel that i should know please share, struggling to find a place in the UK that sells them though

maybe the Bay is my only option? or the forest (do you get what companies i am talking about?

)

Should be called as Xcrap Noise Turbine.
Half of the fans (made of bling bling plastic) are away from components needing cooling and all of them have direct noise escape path.
Internal layout is old (Chieftec) and very cheap stamped airflow blocking meshes.

you speaking as someone that has owned one?
what are the differences between the 1000, 2000 and the 777 versions?

Anything with Xclio on the front of its title should automatically bypass the consumer market and be sent straight to some sort of recycling plant.

are they really that bad?

Tacky looking plastic pap. That would be a downgrade from a Scout.

kellaway225 · 4 Apr 2010 at 19:43

Thanks fore the info, could you recommend a case with better cooling and space inside - not that this one is bad it might be my environment that is making the heat go upwards of 47c when in a game and not on full load

pastymuncher · 4 Apr 2010 at 19:48

47 degree's is nothing. Is that the cpu or gpu or case temps? You could do what i did with my Scout and fit an extra 120mm fan in the front above the 140mm intake by using tie wraps to fix the fan to the 5.25" bays.

kellaway225 · 4 Apr 2010 at 19:51

thats for the CPU, the GPU can hit around 60-70c when gaming as well

thats an interesting an idea, did doing that improve temps? why not going with another 140mm? or wasnt there enough room?

EsaT · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:26

Those temps are perfectly normal, in fact especially high end graphics cards often run around 80-90C.

kellaway225 · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:29

yeah but seeing as some people have been getting less with the CPU when on full load and i get 11c MORE even when i am not on full load just gaming for like 30mins doesnt seem quite right

Different ambient temperatures, Different setups, Even different pastes can make differences between setups. Not everyone is the same.

The Scout is a brilliant case, nice and quiet and ample airflow. If you really want cooler, Then you're looking at something like the haf 932, Antec 902 or something along those lines.

If I were you though, I'd keep that case unless you were really struggling with it, Your temps seem very good.

maybe its just me, being my first build maybe its getting to me. i might give Prime a go tomorrow and see what temps i get then

my friend has an xclio with some other nice stuff, and he likes his, hes had it for like 2 years now

kellaway225 · 4 Apr 2010 at 22:43

thanks, what does he think about the build quality?
what model does he have?

Nemesis379 · 5 Apr 2010 at 01:09

He has this one: http://www.xclio.com/products/case-a380.htm#details

it runs completely silent i cannot hear anything from his PC whatsoever

They're a basic chassis with poorly designed and made plastic bits tacked on. £150+ for the 777/1000/2000 too :eek:

With that sort of money you should be looking at 3 or 4 brands, Corsair, Lian Li, Silverstone and maybe some of the Coolermasters (most notably the 840 ATCS).

Although, you probably don't need a new case at all. Could you post some pics of your current set up. There might be easier/cheaper ways to improve the cooling.

OMG that thing is eye poison. I'd rather put my components in a toilet bowl. (hmm maybe a mod idea forming

)

There simply is no other PC part manufacturer that offers such little value for money.

Badly designed, cheap & poor quality cases are not what people should be paying 100+ sheets for.

kellaway225 · 5 Apr 2010 at 11:27

from what i have read many people like there 1000/2000/777 models
but maybe i am worrying a bit too much
i have tall the fans going max and get around 28-32c when idle and upwards of 47c when gaming
maybe a better cable management would help things, but that is something i have no clue about

So do millions of flies like crap, but that doesn't mean it's good for human consumption.

And remember no matter how good case airflow is CPU temp is primarily up to heatsink's performance. (and different CPUs have different heat production)
