May I ask what CPU you are using with that L9a cooler and how do you experience it doing? Is it doing good or bad etc?...

it's not an option for me, can't register a Vietnamese address there. W360MOD should also carry it since the case and the bracket come out of the same factory, no?
I'm going to use R9 3900X but with Eco mode etc. from my research thus far. Will let you know once I put everything in the case later.
that's a damn shame. but thanks, can't wait for the case to arrive and start building in it. Worst case I shall be cajoling the few friends that I have left in the UK
I ordered mine via OCUK, and sprung for the 120mm bracket. I waited to long to order it from W360MOD, and it was sold out. Luckily it looks like It will come out to about the same price, even with the bracket due to different customs agreements between Canada and the UK along with less shipping.
Apologies in advance if I missed this upthread, but has anyone employed the 645LT for GPU cooling?
short update on my experience with the case.
parts in case:
Temps are fine, CPU, while gaming, stabilizes at 78. Now I have to do something about the fan curve as it spins up and down while gaming...
If I could have a few improvements, it would be that top panel would stay in place without screws (and screws hidden) just like the side panels.
parts in case:
- Asus B450-i & Ryzen 3600 + fan duct
- Powercolor 5700XT red dragon --> now with 2x120mm Noctua fans (as the original fans are a PITA) with undervolt
- SF600 Plat PSU and some Corsair LPX ram

So the case arrived yesterday. Really excited to build it. I followed the manual and everything came together very nicely, very satisfied customer. A few things that I experienced:
- The power extension cable makes installing 92mm fan underneath the mother board somewhat challenging. Had to really pushed it aside and jammed the fan in the gap to screw it down
- I use the Corsair SF750 and since the power socket is flipped (?) it made it difficult to plug in the power extension cable - there's a very hard bend on the cable that you can see from the pictures
You should route a bit of the power cable towards the riser cable that way the bend is not so tight, just my 2c.
thanks, I tried it already but doesn't have much effect since the case frame pretty blocked the path there
interesting mine went through just fine (made a u shape so it bends back in), if I have a chance I’ll take a photo.
Mine too, I made a little loop, was hard the first time, but now it just goes in with no trouble.
You can also route the GPU cables through the front of the case if its easier.
Nice one, glad you're happy with it. Although, why didn't you get the chromax CPU cooler and fans? Having it all black would look so much better than those vomit tan and poop brown colours.
Because I'm a Noctua snob? Jokes aside I reside in Vietnam where Noctua availability is very limited, not everything in standard tan and brown is available let alone the fancy Chromax stuff. And even if the Chromax were available why would I spend more for them when I don't even see the cooler & fan behind the not-window-side-panel? Especially as it's not facing me at all?
For reference here is my view of the case, ain't she a beauty
@dondan is there an install guide for the the HDPLEX 400w? I'm just a little confused as to how to go about mounting it, and I don't really want to ding up the case through trial and error.
I also wanted to just let the rest of the community know that: Nothing really prepares you for how tinny and premium this case is.
I watched all of the relevant youtube videos.
I have been researching / prepping for, at least, two years to buy and build this case; and I was still surprised at how small, the case is, and how it makes my old Obsidian 250D look ridiculous, by comparison.
The camera really does add to your perception that this case is bigger that what it actually is.

The screw bag includes 4x 5mm stand offs add these to the inner front of the case next to the gpu. Now you mount the hdplex on it.

Has anybody heard of anyone cooling a GPU with the 92mm Asetek AIO?
Anyone? ... Bueller?
