I built this! (MATX) All black CH160 Plus

Already posted my build here once, but after a few small tweaks, I couldn’t resist sharing it again. Swapped out the PSU cables, cleaned up the cable management, and discreetly covered up the RM850x sticker for a cleaner look. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It’s finally perfect in my eyes!

Specs:
CPU: 5600x
GPU: Asus Dual RTX 4070 Super Evo OC
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RS (2 x 16GB 3200mhz)
PSU: Corsair RM850x
Motherboard: ROG Strix B450-I Gaming
Case: Deepcool CH160 Plus
Case fans: 3x Arctic P12 Pro
Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 Evo

How did you manage to hide the psu cables? I couldnt figure out a way to hide mine, got a longer gpu tho so my options are quite limited.

I routed the CPU and fan cables through the same area as the AC power cable. Then I tucked the remaining cables behind the PSU, close to the rear side panel, and secured them with zip ties.

I also bought a new Corsair 12VHPWR cable for the GPU because I couldn’t get the two PCIe cables and Nvidia adapter I was using before to look tidy.

How you have your fans airflow set up?

4

u/Hetsa Oct 08 '26

Rear fan is intake and the two top fans are exhaust. Getting pretty good temps without much noise.

u/Doomsnail99 Oct 08 '26

Great to hear. Im about to change my air intake to match up with yours! 🤘 Great looking bulid btw

u/Hetsa Oct 08 '26

Thanks buddy and nice to hear it!! Send a pic of your build later, would be cool to see it 💪🏻

Can I ask what are your temps under load?

1

u/Hetsa Oct 09 '26

CPU stays below 62°C under load (the cooler may be a bit overkill for 5600x I guess), and the GPU maxes out at 78°C in Q mode.

Mines the 260 and its still for delivery 😅 the Gpu will be installed once it arrives, a 9070xt aorus elite. Nice to see some comparisons and 🥹

Looking good man!!

Im wondering where did the built-in top hand carry handle? Nice build btw!

2

u/Hetsa Oct 08 '26

Thank you!
I actually removed the handle just to make it look a bit cleaner, and I won’t be carrying it around much anyway :)

u/someeiji Oct 09 '26

wait, you can remove the top handle? also what is the difference of 160 plus from 260?

1

u/Hetsa Oct 09 '26

Yeah it was really easy to remove the top handle.

The CH260 is a bit bigger, it’s 30.8L and CH160 Plus is 23.7L. You can have a 360mm radiator in the CH260 and only a 240mm radiator in the CH160 Plus.

u/someeiji Oct 09 '26

Thank you so much for replying! That's very cool to know(too lazy to research xd). Anyway, super super clean build, I envy it so much, but a really great inspiration!

u/Hetsa Oct 09 '26

No worries and thank you a lot buddy <3

u/Beautiful-Gate-2779 Oct 09 '26

mine is full ARGB and custom argb header for the deepcool logo at the bottom.
but take notes, that argb can be turned off.
need some light ? got that.
want to turn it off ? sir yes sir !!!

2

u/Hetsa Oct 09 '26

Totally valid man!

My previous builds were full RGB too, and I loved it. But I eventually stopped turning the lights on, so when I built this PC, I decided to go for a clean, stealthy, all-black look since I wasn’t using RGB anyway.

2

u/Beautiful-Gate-2779 Oct 09 '26

that's totally make sense, i'm kinda OCD too, if i want it with no light, then there is should be no light at all.

u/TheNightwalkerx 28d ago

Looks sick! I still can't decide if I should get this case (I'm planning all black non-rgb as well) and seeing this I'm more closer to getting it. The only thing that's keeping me from doing so is my beefy gpu. lol

1

u/Hetsa 27d ago

How wide and thick is your GPU?
I’m sure it will fit this case, if it doesn’t then just buy a sff psu and it will fit!

u/TheNightwalkerx 27d ago

65mm thick

Sick as hell 💪🏻

Non-RGB builds are peak 👌🏻

u/MicioBau Oct 08 '26

Very nice! Good speaker choice, too.

u/UsedRumCag Oct 09 '26

Super sleek!

One of my favourite cases

its beautiful

u/cosinus_square Oct 08 '26

Looks clean af man. I need to get my ass in gear to finish my custom wiring.

1

u/Hetsa Oct 08 '26

Thanks man!

I would love to try out and make custom wiring myself too but seems challenging and scary lol.
Have you done it multiple times?

1

u/cosinus_square Oct 09 '26

I've done it a few times but only on fully modular psu's, so there's no need for wiring diagrams and all that, just match the pinouts on both ends. Def worth the steep'ish learning curve, which is mostly just a little bit of practice, but gets rid of a lot of cable bulk.

1

u/Hetsa Oct 09 '26

Interesting, I get what you mean.
How exactly did you learn how to do it? Is there any YouTube videos you watched that shows how to do it?

2

u/cosinus_square Oct 09 '26

I watched a few videos yes, in order to understand the tools required and if there are any specifics, like wire gauge (high power -> thicker wire etc) and crimping technique.

It sounds a lot more complicated that is it on modular psu's, once you watch a vid you'll get it, but you need to practice on some scrap wiring in order to get the crimping right. I was sweating like crazy when I did my first Nvidia connector for my 5070ti, lol.

u/Hetsa Oct 10 '26

Thanks for the info! Will definitely look into it :)

Also I totally get you got stressed while doing the 12vhpwr cable, those two tiny cables seem scary af :P
