#Psu shroud install
I had to move the already installed fan all the way to the top, and was able to install the card no bigge. Please note, it does, however you will not be able to fit 2 fans on the front for intake. I got this case for my first build and made sure it would fit a 3070ti. Overall, I love this case, I can't stop admiring it, it was well worth re-building my PC. It has little rubber pads on the tray which the drive sits on and they work great. But in this case I can only hear my drives when I'm holding my ears up to the case which is a crazy difference to the tooth-grating sound I had to deal with before. One of the things I love about it the most are the hard drive trays - my last case had my 7200 drives rumbling like crazy, I even replaced one because I thought it was faulty.
I also had to arrange my power supply cables carefully because the cables are round and very thick, but overall I found managing cables to be quite easy. The reduced space does make certain things more difficult, for example fitting the SATA cables into my ATX motherboard was difficult because there wasn't much room at the side for me to access the slots. One of the reasons I swapped is because I wanted a smaller, lighter case, and this one is a nice size and weight without being cramped or flimsy. Visually I think it's gorgeous, I have the white version and it looks very sleek and elegant with the mesh front panel.
#Psu shroud manual
Highly recommend it for newbie builders as it comes with a manual and all screws are labelled inside which you may not find in cheap cases.
#Psu shroud Pc
I did a case swap into this case (previous case was a GameMax Vanguard VR2 and my first PC build), and this case was such a pleasure to build in in comparison. Main advice chhose parts to go in this wisely. I should have got the Meshify 2 but everything is in place now and cooling is excellent aith all temps on cpu and gpu staying low. The case specs say it will take a long GPU but not if you are front mounting a AIO. A smaller GPU would eliminate this issue. This was mainly because my GPU is three fanhned at quite long. The the fands had to be put in a push through configuration and even then because of space they pushed the front silter out so it only clips in a top and bottom. a great AIO but woulds not fit in top mount position so have to put it in front. The AIO is question is the Arctic Freezer II. The problem came though when trying to top mount the AIO.
#Psu shroud plus
I put a Asus Tuf Gaming B550 Plus in it which fitted perfectly.
It does take an ATX card but to be honest think mATX would be better. However the C stands for Compact so bare this in mind when using for ATX build. This is a great case and bought off back of reviews. This looks to me like a major design flaw, but the fact that so many manufacturers are doing it is making me think I must be missing something, unless the quest for aesthetics is truly trumping everything else.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2021 And if we really care about getting more air to the PSU, wouldn't it be better to remove the shroud so it's not being boxed in by a solid piece of metal to begin with? The PSU has its own intake fan and exhaust grille, and neither of its two sides which face into the case seem to be designed to benefit from any additional airflow. If the intention is to use this air for the benefit of the PSU itself, then I don't see the need.
Based on some video reviews I've seen, it looks like this is the situation in at least several other cases and isn't unique to this particular design. The problem seems to me that a large part of the airflow directed in from that bottom fan and from the front fans will flow under the top of the shroud, get caught inside it, and then get pushed out of the bottom of the case again, never reaching the main chamber where it'll actually be needed. This case has space to mount two 120mm fans or one 140mm fan on the bottom below the hard drive cages, and I plan to put one 140mm intake fan there. It is a solid surface with no grille, and overlaps at least one of the mounting points for the bottom fans, depending on configuration. I haven't started building in the case as I'm waiting for other components to arrive, but at a first glance it looks like the shroud could have a serious negative effect on airflow. I know it hides all the power cables from view, but I don't particularly care about looks and am wondering whether I should leave it in or remove it. The shroud did not factor into my decision to buy the case and I'm wondering what functional purpose it serves. I have just bought a Phanteks Enthoo Pro, my first case which comes with a power supply shroud.
