How Quiet? Yes. | ASUS Prime AP202 + Noctua Micro ATX PC Build

#Noctua #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - following our previous liquid cooled AP202 video, there was a lot of hype for an air cooled version... Say no more! Sam gets stuck in with a Noctua cooled system and it hits hard... Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! 00:00 - Sam Receives a Gift 01:15 - Prime AP202 White Overview 02:12 - Motherboard Assembly 04:18 - Prime AP202 Assembly 06:51 - Managing the Cables! 07:30 - GPU Install & Finalise 08:26 - Noise Levels 08:49 - Airflow Visualization 09:14 - Cinematic & Desk Setup 10:53 - Coffee Thanks 10:59 - Who the Heck is Noct-Owl!? It goes without saying that the ASUS Prime AP202 is a solid choice for a Micro ATX chassis. In this configuration, Sam opted to install the side fans as intake to assist the CPU cooler with airflow, whilst the bottom intake fans directly cool the GPU. With low volume in mind, the Noctua cooling setup always hits the sweet spot. At 50% fan speeds, the PC was basically inaudible over ambient room sound and that's something we never take for granted when gaming and editing. Also, after what feels like an eternity of waiting fo ASUS to drop their white GPU’s, Matt finally got hands on and purchased a 5000 series. How great does the PRIME RTX 5070 look in all white?

The ASUS Prime AP202 might be a premium case option for Micro ATX but it truly excels when it comes to showing off your hardware whilst being very functional. As for the Noctua cooling, well... You all know that we're a sucker for that brown and beige aesthetic at this point! What's your thoughts on the Prime AP202 Chassis?
