Coolermaster Storm Sniper Build

[doomtomb3]

Are those all passively cooled components? Just a heatsink on CPU and GPU? Nice!

[harley7777777]

sick case even sicker pink blanket XD

[haloguy030]

should i get this with the mesh or the window? i mean the mesh gives better air flow and i want that but the window looks cooler

[Vortex1988]

Lol, noticed your mouse at the end. I have the same one. I've got the same processor too. Managed to get it up to 3.7Ghz with a Cooler Master V6GT.

[InsomniacJack09]

I couldn't help but notice that you've got an awful lot of scotties.

[Dtemplar22]

i bought this case for my gaming build...awsome case...window panel sick with vegas fan lights

[CMStormtv]

wow, thats one massive heatsink in there :D

nice build! and nice song :)

[Neurotripsicks]

NICE BED, QUEER-BAIT

[PcWizTechProductions]

ooooo-ooo-ver kiiiill psu!

[Missionimpossibles]

why replace the 200mm side fan with two 120mm ones? Surely a single 200mm would move just as much air with less noise? (plus the blue LEDs would look cooler)

[AznDuD333]

@Missionimpossibles

the newer storm sniper black comes with cm`s storm fan which pushes 142cfm with 18dba..can`t get much better than that

[imback218]

Very nice case. You just got +1 on your subscribers count. :)

[MrJordiR]

lol i boght at a really bad time i guess

[martini0209]

might be a stupid question but is the metal with the copper tubes to keep your cpu cool? That thing's a beast!

[david2n0]

What's with the cerial boxes? Lol

[KaraniKun]

Ugh..bad song choice. These things need better music. The specs aren't bad, though. lol'd at the cereal boxes.

[ziogualty]

Nice! Excellent work with cable and components seems very good too.

Thumb up ;)

[Awayze]

I'm going to get one of these cases but with a window side so if i put water cooling in, the blue fans will make the UV tubes looks awesome.

[c0nn0r180]

was that a chop bowl on your desk?

[jackburton2009]

I like the CM Storm better, it's all black inside and out and has a handle!

[jachumba85]

just picked up this case- have 2 5870's and a v12 cooler and there is still plenty of room in this case... for a mid tower... its pretty big.

[kicedz12]

that must be loud...

[ChrisConnor94]

lol are the corn flakes part of the computer?

[thisizbrian]

whered you get that sweet desk!

[Bullonieful]

... I honestly think that you don't need that giant of a CPU cooler.

[G00SE216]

i love corn flakes.

[josiprietkovic]

Hey, i see a plenty of space between the 4870 and the HDD cage.Just thinking,you could buy a larger video card.

[hitachi654]

I want one but i need a new system cuas mine is shit but how dose you system run dx 10 game (Crysis , far cry 2, dirt 2)? if you have them

[jmorris4411]

Warning for overclockers. If not going liquid cooled, do not waste your money on the optional plexi side panel. The mesh side allows for better airflow if you invert the fan to blow out on the cover panel. Great case overall.

[shardoko]

@jmorris4411 actually if you use the big 230mm fan that comes with it and invert it you will rob the CPU Heatsink of any air. Yes it will suck all the air out but it will be pulling any air away that the heatsink needs. and stall it so to say and overheat. Not trying to be rude, but if you know nothing about air cooling setup don't give anyone advice. you could cause them to fuck up there system. Have a nice day.

[jmorris4411]

@shardoko The fan doesn't create a vaccuum in the case, so robbing the heatsink of any air makes no sense. The point of the fans is to move air in such a way that it helps facilitate the transition of heat from either one medium to another or away from a source. The side fan simply keeps the air flowing in a manner that does not oppose the movement of air from another source, such as a heatsink. Having a chassis fan blow inward toward the components is not efficient by any means.

[kanun4214]

how much is the case

[lyndonrebutoc]

i got this case too. and this is the best case ever!!!!!!!

[junglepolle]

i got this case too and its fucking big!

[heavyrazor95]

Just got case and i got to say, if you like the case looking cool, buy a blue LED on the sidedoor too, it looks awesome!!

[jnfillusive]

how is the fan controller on your system is it good or worth buying an extra fan controller for the pc

[jnfillusive]

did your case come with the stock fan for the side panel or with out?

[junglepolle]

are there enough room to a HD5870 ?

[jnfillusive]

how is the fan system on that ?

[nykvarnskurken]

Do you think this one is better than the HAF 932? The dustfilter is just a plus for me.

[LilKapo818]

sex

[Andrey266]

I want to buy this case so it has esata and firewire ports on front panel i dont think I have firewire or esata on my motherboard or maybe I have one idk.

[webafile]

love this song

also just got the same case man

[heydude09876]

does the top fan knob feel like cheap plastic?

[MN12BIRD]

Nice build man! That case rocks and I love your CPU and GPU (I have the same ones haha) but I want your sound card. What do you run the sound card on most of the time? PC speakers or home audio?

[mangie222]

will a noctua nh-u12p fit in this with a 200mm on the side?

[helldrell666]

Would you recommend this case over a Cosmos RC 1100, the one with full Aluminum build?

And can you remove the top of the case, the part with the grabs that is blocking the top fan inside the case?

[GarrettBMXes]

Awesome build man, <3 AMD/ATi

I'm getting the same case soon, it's a damn nice looking case.

[monoinyourface]

wow wire mtg sucks should check out mine the rig is tight

[BugarijaBBD]

bit overkill on the cpu heatsink

[THEGAMER4LIFE1990]

thxs mate

[THEGAMER4LIFE1990]

whats the song playing mate ?

[acer0169]

Three Days Grace - (I Hate)

Took 5 seconds to find on Google.

[bambihumper]

this or haf 932?

[infrinous19]

im torn between haf 932 and antec 1200. i love the balck but i like the outside design of the haf better, :(

[SCARSAC]

na dude get this or the storm scout i got the scout and that thing kicks ass!!! im gettin ready to get the sniper

[bradrhoades102840]

@SCARSAC 800D is the best case out there, F*** coolermaster

[SCARSAC]

@bradrhoades102840 ok spend 300$ on a case dumbass i dont care

[bradrhoades102840]

@SCARSAC i only spent 180$ on my corsair 800D, It's okay to be jealous, just dont hate

[MMAliker456]

@bradrhoades102840 Am I supposed to be impressed?

[zebwalshe]

is this case good??

[helldrell666]

Does the side panel have a dust filter?

An answer would be greatly appreciated.

[stevenshl2]

Yes it does, every part with ventilation has some sort of filter

[helldrell666]

Great.From what i can see, the whole side panel is ventilated, right ?

Is the side panel air filter effective? Cuz you don't want the dust to accumulate on your motherboard and inside your graphics card, or even the CPU heatsink.

Thanks.

.

[Macsimus007]

Yes helldrell the whole side panel is actually a dustfilter. Why did you remove the 200mm side panel fan. I would imagine that would be much quieter than 2 120s

[mueller309]

at 2:19 it looked like a microwave

[Byte4870]

great video, very nice case

[koolguyg]

loving the rose mattress and pink sheets ;)

[car1513]

Im bulding my own gaming rig too, so far ive got

AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 965 3.4ghz

Xion PowerReal 1000w Gamer edition PSU

NZXT Tempest ATX Mid-Tower Case (6 fans :D)

Asus M4A78 PRO Motherboard

Im planning on getting the Radeon HD 5870, some water cooling, 8gb ram, bluray reader, 50 something in 1 card reader with temp display, 1tb Seagate or WD hard drive 7200rpm

[graymic]

that psu is so overkill... im running a 600 wat,

Phenom II 955 @ 4Ghz

HD5850 1gb

2Sata HDD 500GB each

Fatality Sound Card

6 x fans

and everything is fine...

[that1fatkiduknow]

@graymic

better to future proof then continusly dump money

[graymic]

@that1fatkiduknow I bought the psu 3 years ago lol =P so I think for £60 quid that's well spent. I would say however if you are going to spend £60 on a psu obviously go for a higher one now, but it won't be majorly different with performance with our current gen cards. unless of course you are equipping crap loads of HDD's.

[vearheart42]

@that1fatkiduknow If you sell parts on forums about a year after they are launched then you don't have to worry about dumping to much money.

[unimatrix82]

WTF ! is that a passive cpu cooler ????

[cjpalmi8]

love the corn flakes box

[bore95]

i will get about the same stuff in my pc :D and same chassi :))

[Common0ne]

No offense dude, just to be perfectly honest I think you could really do some better cable management with that case, even with my CM690 I was able to do pretty good cable management, thats not to say that it didn't take a shitload of zip ties tho lol..But anyways a very good build! Just another suggestion though..You could take all of the spare power connectors and tie them together and put them on the other side of the case. The bulky side panel will allow it to fit! Happy New Years as well!

[zackcyboy]

I'm wondering if i should get the window side panel with this case.

[stevenshl2]

Yep, they make that now :)

[ShitpommfritFraz]

Nice computer. But cant you clock ur processor more with that cooler?

Because i got a 955 and clocking it at 3.65 with a sock cooler.

[neardood1]

AMD Phenom = FAIL

1 4870 =ok for everything but crysis and FC2, you shoul get another one

I like the neatness of the cables and cooling, that would have to be one of the most organized and best performing air cooled PC's I have ever seen good job :)

[DanielandAmari]

"AMD Phenom = FAIL" why?

[Rolisups]

Fucking CRAZY CPU Cooler

LOL

Fucking crazy noisy system 100%.

[Hekynn]

Nice rig hows the motherboard and will it work with a Phenom II 965BE cpu?

[CoasterChick22]

can also buy a clear window for this case on newegg.

[hootis8]

LOL@cornflakes

[neardood1]

and all the pink stuff at 0:29 WTF it that a baby's cot?

[thepiratbay]

Is this case loud?

[stevenshl2]

Nahh

[heydude09876]

@stevenshl2 does the fan speed knob feel like cheap plastic? i have been looking into getting this, the haf 932 or antec 1200...

[FurHusky]

Too bad there isn't more blue :P I might buy this case, but definately with more LEDs :P

[Jonnyinter1]

If the CM Storm Sniper had an all black interior I would have gotten it straight away, but I got the Storm Scout instead because of the small difference in price and the all black interior looks so nice!

Great build too!

[webafile]

@Jonnyinter1

it does and that is the one that i just bought

[Jonnyinter1]

@webafile I wrote that before the Black Edition was released.

[Elmqviisten]

yo, I was wondering if you hear a scratching sound from the fan of the 4870?

[rokr41]

nice build

[mangie222]

can u tkae the bottom fan off so u can put in a corsair hx1000W psu?

[stevenshl2]

Yep!

[rfossu]

I just say Antec 900 GT is the best :D

[nikitosEXE]

what song?

[SpitreMKXII]

Is that a serious question?

[donkeyboy2k7]

how does the graphics card perform on games?

such as cod 4 and cod 5? fps? thanks n v.nice build

[stevenshl2]

The one you see in the video, 80 - 140 on max settings, at 1680x1050 but. any lower res and you'll see a much bigger improvement.

[chri475r]

what song? hihi, nice pc you have! rocks

[McrxEbsex]

haha xD Christian den hedder

ehmm hvad fanden var det nu.. 

Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About you.

[Dec0y9]

three days grace - I hate everything about you

[Origami84]

very, very nice..... especially inside. but i fear for a pc under the desktop the fron side is not impressive enough..... imho, of course. i tend to prefere more elaborate one, like those with a turbine engine-like in the front

[TheGreenSmoke]

This is a nice case and I wish Cooler Master made a full tower version so I went with the 932. This looks a lot better than the 932 though.

[gabrielpmoro]

what is the name os this song ?

[Andy1644]

You should really have that cooler 90 degrees clockwise coz the air from that backfan won't be doing anything if its up against that cooler. But if you spin it the air will come through the fins of the cooler and out the back.

[SpiralTrance]

Cool build. Do you have the fan that comes with the Scythe Orochi mounted underneath blowing air upwards?

[stevenshl2]

Yes

[chri475r]

what song? nice computer you have, also have that case! cm storm sniper case rocks!!!!!!!!!!

[mangie222]

i hate everything about you, 3 days grace

[GrizliTheBear]

Great video man, Sniper is a great case...

[leefuji]

hey man thanks for the answers but did u had to buy the side panel window separate , because on their websites and some other ones it says " side window panel (optional) .. so im confused .

[stevenshl2]

what they mean by side panel optional is that they have 2 different side panels, the black mesh and the windowed. the mesh would be default I guess.. They did release a windowed version colored black inside aswell

[leefuji]

oh ok cool !! yeah pretty much getting the black sniper edition which is all black inside .. so we'll see whcih panel it comes with . thanks :-)

[leefuji]

is this a full or mid tower ? great video :D

[stevenshl2]

This would be recognized as a mid tower, but one of the larger models.

[leefuji]

ah ok , how is the space for your 4870 fitting in there , like it is close to the HD's end ?

[leefuji]

and hows the noise with the stock case fans !! any loud ? thanks . im debating between this model or the coolermaster HAF 932 which is a full tower. both same price.

[stevenshl2]

The 4870x2 fits perfectly, more than enough room for larger cards if there are any.

As for the noise.. There is a knob you can turn to increase or decrease the fan, It's extremely quiet on the lower settings, but more obvious when you turn it up. I have it maybe 2/5 of the way turned because of the card I have running :)

[stevenshl2]

whoops, this was an older video, I have upgraded and made a new video haha

[kidowner]

HAF 932 doesnt have dust filters so you might want to rethink and get this case

[vearheart42]

@kidowner The HAF is a full tower and this is a Mid Tower. The ATCS 840 is a full tower how ever.

[kidowner]

@vearheart42 i know that? but the sniper is more like a full tower imo

[vearheart42]

@kidowner No it's not, its still just as small when it comes to what it can hold. The HAF 932 can hold an XL ATX motherboard and I'd like to see the sniper do that.

Full towers and Mid towers are worlds different and shouldn't be compared, each has their purpose. Also the ATCS 840 is a superior case to all other mentioned so far.

[kidowner]

@vearheart42 yep.. ATCS 840 is my future case :D

[aaronmonto]

Ooh, man... that Powercolor has a terrible stock heatsink. What did you end up doing with it?

[stevenshl2]

sold it to a friend hahahah

[SoylentBreen]

That's a monster heatsink.

[19BBoy74]

Excellent case choice. Plan on geting it myself. Newegg has a clear window side panel for sale now that's $25!!!

[stevenshl2]

Damn, Wonder if the side panel lets you put a 200mm intake/exhaust fan as well, I would definitely get it if the inside of the case was painted black.

[TWJ8305]

it does! 2x120 orr 1x200...

[stevenshl2]

1x200mm

[pmleffers]

overrated case, overrated song, enough said....

[morganbesh]

Ok thanks, got it working.

[morganbesh]

Hey stevenshl2, i got this case, but the fan controller doesnt work, i dont think i plugged in properly. What do you connect the 2 pin things to? i don't see anywhere on my power supply that accept 2 pin connection. Thanks

[stevenshl2]

The 2 pin is seperate, you have to plug in the 4 pin molex and the 2 pin fan controller.

the 2 pin is also bundled with the rest of the cables, as in with your front panel usb, firewire etc.

[AZJohny]

hey did u have any problems with the board when u booted the system? i got no video or post or a beep usb doesnt even respond maybe if u had that problem can u help?

[stevenshl2]

Actually, I did not have any problems with the boot, try resetting the BIOS, failure to overclock may result in your computer being unable to boot up, resetting is the only option.

[AZJohny]

o ok thnx

[phantom7734]

so the song says you hate every thing about you hahah if you hate it so much give it to me lol

[bourdvi]

hey i just got this case and i dont know y but when i want to reduce or increase the speed of my fans, it stays at the same speed? is ur case like that too?

[stevenshl2]

Did you plug in the 2 pins? because thats whats connected to the fan controller ;)

[bourdvi]

well wich 2 pin do u think u could make a vid showing cuz idk i checked all my LED are one its onlt the control and idk if u could see how u tied ur cables cuz i am like lost in the bunch of cables that i have

[bourdvi]

i checked and yes the 2 pin connector is connected but i still cant fix my problem

[bacongl]

very nice, just needs some cable managment and ure golden

[MRAZYXXX]

Mhhhhh over your Case-packaging was Cornflakes xD

[wywern209]

i want to build a nice PC soo bad but i have like no cash on hand. if i were to build a PC, a coolermaster HAF 922 or a storm sniper/scout case for me. CM makes awesome cases.

[stevenshl2]

Haha, If you already have a PC, you could just save for single part upgrades, and over time you will have your dream :), took me an year to get mine. if you like the looks, you should get a case first so you stay interested in upgrading your PC :)

[wywern209]

lol yes. i have a PC. but it OLD. like rly old. its a pentium 4 from like 03/04. and its from dell. but i can only use for school due to constraints. but if i do build a PC, it will be next yr because of USB 3.0, and such. i don't want to miss out and plus, better parts will be out by then.

[runescapeownyawe]

Why so many fans when you only OC to 3.4 GHZ and only one Graphics card running oO is that really neccesary?

[airsoftcrazy456]

All that potential and you stick a 512mb 4870 in there? ......

[stevenshl2]

Haha i have a 4870x2 now, planing on upgrading alot more

[Pointless88]

i got close to the same build. my cpu is a 920 and my card is a 1g xfx 4890. case is totally different though

[fytech]

Whats wrong with the 4870? It's beating most of the cards this days.

[bourdvi]

the geforce GTX 260, 275,280, 285 and 295 from Nvidea is better

from ATI : 7890, 4850 x2, 4870 x2 and 4890 x2

[masterjaniuk]

Lol nice build ;), good psu XD

[shantanu17cr7]

oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chesterlim15]

hi ermm i am hacing trouble for installing the side panel fan as i have no experience and i would like to ask u how am i suppose to do it? i have checked videos on how to install them but the way of installing is diff. u mind helping me out?

[stevenshl2]

what do you mean Side panel? which case?

[chesterlim15]

the one that can put 2 120mm fan the side panel

[stevenshl2]

This case right?, they come with longer screws, its very simple, once you buy the fans and case, everything is very straight forward

[chesterlim15]

k thx!^.^

[chesterlim15]

oh ya 1 more thing. i lost the screws and i wonder if i can buy those screw?

[stevenshl2]

Im sure they sell those somewhere online haha

[chesterlim15]

okie thx alot for the help. It really helped me alot ^.^

[stevenshl2]

Haha no prob!

[185dan]

can u see through the mesh on the side panel? i have p180 and it blows for airflow, well i wish itd blow more... but yea, i want mid tower, but i wanna see the inside cuz imma do liquid cooling w/ uv cathodes

[stevenshl2]

haha the side panel.. is Kind of see through.. not completely, because its so dark.but if you have liquid cooling, with those Cathodes, you can probably see them

[liamc3000]

this case has loads of potential for cable management but this guy hasnt done anything

[stevenshl2]

lol. video was made right after i finished putting all my stuff in and i wanted to see if it ran. , i have done excellent cable management since then

[liamc3000]

you should post another vid m8 i would love to see how u done it compared to me

[stevenshl2]

Haha i will >=)

[185dan]

n4p my cable management pwns both of urs ;p

[liamc3000]

u have a totally different case you fucking idiot. Also your cable management is still shit

[185dan]

hahahahaha wow man, lets calm ourselves

[kjeoy]

is this a maxi tower? If so, how would you guys compare it up against the HAF? :)

[liamc3000]

this case is much better than the haf as it runs almost silent and has better cable management. Trust me on this because ive had experiences with both cases and this was far better
