Review on πŸ–₯️ BitFenix Portal Support Aluminum Gaming Case - BFC POT 150 WKXKK RP by Christopher Isaac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pure aesthetics and such.

Finally assembled PC after buying this case for a long time and boy I don't know where to start. First of all, for a beginner you will spend hours doing basic cable management and believe me they really need good cable management. The refrigeration is so terrible that you have to somehow create enough clearance for air to circulate around it or it becomes a little microwave oven for all your parts. The weird thing I found was that the engineers made a good filter on all four corners to circulate air and cool it, but then they put another wide sheet of metal with tiny holes behind those filters to let the air out to keep. usually in the case. Approximately the same is arranged in the PGU area. If you put the power supply with the fan down, you can see that the main frame, to which all parts are attached, has holes for the power supply, but then a wide rail that makes it difficult for air to escape. The funny thing is that holes were made under the body, but since there is a railway there, the air doesn't come out directly from the said holes. The rear of the case requires two 80mm fans instead of one 80mm or two 40mm fans. I've swapped out the OEM fans that came with the case, even Noctua industrial fans, put an AIO water cooler on the CPU, and it's still not enough, so I'm seriously considering modifying this case. In order for you to see the full picture I will list all the parts I use in this case. : SilverStone SX800-LTI 800W, SFX-L, 80 Plus Platinum. Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 ITX. Cooler: DeepoCool Captain 120EX White. The main problem is not the CPU and RAM but the motherboard VRM, GPU and possibly the PSU. When trying to play some heavy games, the VRM stays at 80 and slowly ramps up to 90 while the GPU stays at 80-89 without falling or rising. Now I know that all ITX cases have cooling problems, but the fact is that the size of the case is not that small if you can put AIO liquid cooling and the GPU in it without any riser extension.

Pros
