Insufficient airflow for gaming
There wasn't enough airflow, which caused my graphics card to overheat and made even more noise in the end.
I had to change my case to avoid burning up my PC.

There wasn't enough airflow, which caused my graphics card to overheat and made even more noise in the end.
I had to change my case to avoid burning up my PC.
this power supply is perfect (cables, silence...).
product very well packaged (well protected).
fast delivery.
bravo LDLC.
Extremely quiet.
Bought as a replacement for a coolermaster sniper. Really quiet day and night. Correctly supplied, but no more screws and bolts. Cm brackets are present.
sober design, rubber under the power supply, lined walls for soundproofing, 2 integrated fans.
The design is well thought out for the power supply, the clearance for the graphics card and the .35p HDD racks.
But the location of the 2.5p SSDs is vertical on the right-hand side, wedged between the lined wall and the chassis, leaving only 3cm for the sata cables to pass through...BOF! when there's a big gap on the other side...
Another point, the vibration of the front panel which generates a dull noise during operation, quite annoying. Problem corrected by wedging a piece of foam in between the chassis (should be done at the factory!)
If you choose liquid cooling for your processor of this type: Zalman Reserator5 Z24, I would advise against this tower.
You'll have to install the radiator on the front of the tower, and to facilitate air circulation, you'll have to rip out the sub-glass mesh filters to make it easier for air to get in (if you don't, expect your processor and graphics card to get very hot during long gaming sessions).
If you're installing a Sapphire PURE AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16GB, you'll need a pair of precision cutting pliers to cut away a metal part of the back of the case to prevent the HDMI connections from being damaged.
And last but not least, the holes for the MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 power supply cables and the sata connections on the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING card are borderline problematic if you want to have enough space in front of the installation for adequate air circulation.
All in all, a tower that's too expensive for its design/functionality in terms of system performance/accessibility.
All in all, a lot of disappointment for a basic design...
