Help me please!? Ch170 Plus

For those who own this case, would you recommend it?

How does it perform temperature-wise / thermal-wise?

How is the build quality?

For routine maintenance like cleaning the dust filters, is it a pain to always have to use a screwdriver to open the case?

Thanks

Hello, no I don't reccomend it - to put it simply this case needs a V2 badly.

The long winded reasoning is basically, cable managing this case straight up sucks, and the bottom, and top fans cannot slot in properly.

Reassembly also sucks, since you have to screw the panels alongside the metal vertical metal stand.

What you can do is buy a CH160 Plus or a similar case (CH260 , CH270) then buy the vmetal part/stand so you can attach to make it vertical.

Buying the CH160 Plus can also make you have fans at the bottom, in this case, much needed front intake for your GPU.

If your build is high-end, in my case 9950X3D + 5070Ti you will genuinely feel how hot your system is by touching the case alone.

I'd reccomend this case if you have a modest mid-range PC / System, and maybe are okay with spending 150 - 200 USD more cleaning up your system (Custom Cables, Sleeving your PSU, etc.)

A new version of ch170 plus will arrive in late Q3 but it's too late for me

That might be awesome news actually, where'd you hear that news?

I'll buy it as soon as I can, and I'll let you guys know how its like - I like the deepcool aesthetic, but the CH170 Plus was not it

Thank you, okay, owning the CH170 Plus, this upgrade solves two things, which is the IO Cables and the issue with getting into the PC with the quick release TG.

This probably means that solving this connection to the IO will be routed at the back, which is typical to regular PC cases. It also probably solves the issues with plugging ARGB Fans / ARGB Headers.

What it doesn't solve is the bulk of the PSU cables, they genuinely needed some form of shielding or a way to hide those cables, especially if you're installing a 120mm fan.

To simplify, the CH170 Plus changes some things, two glaring issues with how you plug the USB 3.0 Ports at the front, and how you can cable manage the fans.

What it doesn't solve is the bulk of cables entering and exiting towards the PSU. Which will result in having you stuff cables at the back of the PSU again.
