SWITCHING to the SilverStone Grandia 11 PC CASE
#hometheater #hometheatergamer #htpc
The home theater revamp is complete, but one lingering issue some of you pointed out in the comment section alluded to the PC kind of feeling out of place. While I initially said that "hey, I like the PC there!" The reality was I just didn't really want to spend anymore money. However, after thinking it over I decided to pick up the SilverStone Grandia 11 PC case to put all of my components in. Join me on my journey as I swap everything from one PC case to another, go over fan setup and temperatures and more!

    Having trouble with rats? So did I, took 5 minutes to find both birds and about 3 hours to get a good enough rat. A lot of people say check the saloon, not a single rat there in 3 hours. 2 found in sherrif's after placing predator bait. But one was poor and one got away, aftrr that the game refused to spawn rats. I left the area several times. Sleps several days, still the game didn't spawn a single rat for about 1.5 hour. What finally worked was to kill a stagg (any animal probably works) and place the body in the middle of the burned town. I slept 20 hours and came back to 2 rats eating the stagg. Keep in mind it might seem like no rats are there because they's so small they can hide behind the animal carass. Take a lap and check thoroughly.

    Hi thank you for the tutorial. I just want to ask about subwoofer volume. In my case if I set the volume to 50%, i will never get the sub volume at the same level during test tone. If I raise the volume to match the front DB level, i will end up with too loud bass during watching the movie. Is it necessary to match sub db level to my front?

    What i kind of miss in this video is why you think the 80hz crossover was not good and you had to raise it. Is it because the max output at set frequency was not high enough to match the wanted output for a smooth response? For example; you wanted it to be 82dB, but you only got a max output of 78dB, so with the crossover set to 80hz, you were unable to match the desired output, and thus you tried a higher crossover?

    Great video series; I've been watching the various parts to familiarize myself and plan follow these steps soon. A clarification please, as I couldn't find a clear answer on the miniDSP website or in the product manual online - If I want to connect 4 subwoofers to a Denon X3700H receiver that has 2 subwoofer outs, would it be ideal to use both the analog RCA inputs, then assign the front 2 subs to 1 and the rear 2 to the other via the miniDSP software, or connect just 1 subwoofer input from the AVR, and then assign all the 4 subwoofers to it?

    Great choice in case. I swapped out my Fractal Design Node 605 for a GD-11 last year, I was intrigued by the cases cooling capabilities as the Node 605 left much to be desired in that regard.. I had to get it from Amazon because it was still very new, and no retailers here in Norway had begun selling it yet. It was quite expensive, but well worth it imo. It's currently filled with an Asus z690-g m-ATX motherboard and an AVX512 enabled (for PS3 emulation purposes) 12900k running 5.3GHz and 32GB 6400c32 DDR5 ram, the GPU is an RTX 3090. And all is watercooled with a custom loop comprised of two 240mm radiators with Phanteks T30 fans, an Aquacomputer Ultitube 50 D5 reservoir and pump, CPU is direct die cooled with an Iceman DD block and the RTX 3090 has an EK waterblock and active backplate. Just yesterday I upgraded the PSU to an FSP Hydro Ti 1000w to get something more efficient than the old Fractal Design 650w bronze unit. I think it's the most powerful unit possible to fit with my space constraints without going SFX with an adapter etc.

I want to fit in a full-tower CPU for the best heat dissipation and can look really sleek while hiding that PC case hidden away in a 35U or 37U enclosure. And yeah that case is going to have rails installed. I just don't really care for all the RGB looks and tempered glass side panels. I'm a "hide your computer away if it's working" kind of guy. The only parts that are in front of me is my LG C2 42" TV, keyboard, and mouse.

      Yeah that’s the autofocus trying to figure out what to focus on causing the flicker. Recording a TV screen is always a challenge for any camera’s auto focus system due to the pixel structure and proximity. Probably should have went for single point focus on the DJI OSMO Pocket 3. I don’t have a rack and I don’t know if I’ll go that route anytime soon. Other things are of a higher priority now, namely a mini split haha.

      I play at 4K/2160p, though for Alan Wake II I played at 1800p so I could switch to path tracing. I also always use DLSS set to balanced or performance if a game offers it (or Quality if depending on performance) and will kick on frame gen if I need to. I primarily stick to single player games but do play coop games like Helldivers 2. Currently going through Jedi Survivor finally and also have been playing Outcast A New Beginning. I strongly dislike competitive multiplayer games so I never play PvP games.

    I bought one of these and even test fitted my existing rig. But it just seemed kinda cramped and while the side fans have nice dust filters the front fans just have the mesh grill. Also it was a bit cheap looking compared to my much older Lian-Li full aluminum HTPC case. In the end I've decided to wait for something better and I think Silverstone has made it - the CW04. Hard to find much info on it at the moment but it's at Computex 2024.

    • @HomeTheaterGamer
      @HomeTheaterGamer 18 днів тому

      It’s definitely a bit on the cramped side but it kind of comes with the territory I think. Lian Li makes amazing cases with awesome build quality at pretty much every price point I’ve encountered. I just did a build in the 216 for my in-laws and was just amazed at what you get for the price point. I saw the CW04 coverage from Gamers Nexus and while it does look amazing, it’s simply too large for my use case. I’d also imagine it’ll be pretty price and if I’d wager a guess, we’re looking at a $250 to $300 price point considering the feature set.

      @@HomeTheaterGamer I still haven't completely ruled out using the GD11. Problem is to use it for my main rig means buying some 80mm fans (i'd buy Noctua) and a new CPU cooler, and I would also need a 12VHPWR or 12v2x6 90 degree power connector for my 4070 Ti Super. I don't need any of this stuff for the CW04 so that does offset the cost a bit. I'll just wait and see.

      It's an awesome case. I do enjoy the aesthetic of my old case but it stuck out like a sore thumb. Really happy with this case!

    I still have a Silverstone HT PC case from my old gaming PC. I don't have time to build a new ine, but ine day. Mine is very old now, but was meant to hide like an amp or something with a flip down aluminum panel. Goid airflow, but not as good as what you have. I recommend the brand for sure.

      Definitely worth the money if you're after this aesthetic! I also looked at other cases that allow you to remove the bottom feet and lay horizontally, but those had their own sets of issues. Mainly, the AIO pump being at the top of the loop (a non-issue if I would have swapped to air cooling) and none of them would have fit into my entertainment stand. I'm thinking of doing a follow-up video already talking about some things I've noticed in more detail, but that'll be after I do a few tutorials on some home theater stuff.

    I have the Silverstone GD-09 for my HTPC. It's a little cheaper but I like the look of an all aluminum front. It looks like a premium home theater component in the cabinet. Just don't look inside. As you pointed out, not much room for cable management. For noise levels, I recommend Noctua fans. I want to be able to leave the PC on and have it not be noticeable during quiet scenes.

      Awesome! I initially looked at the GD-09 as well but I really wanted something with radiator/liquid cooling support along with the mesh front panel. Which, obviously, led me to the Grandia 11 (technically the GD-11 I guess). I may eventually replace all the fans with Noctua's, even the front Corsair fans because I typically don't have RGB turned on. Though admittedly it does look pretty cool through the front mesh panel. Even so, with the fans all set to Quiet Mode in iCue, I never really hear them. The 4070 Super fan really only spins up and becomes noticeable while gaming thankfully, and I typically play at volumes where that isn't an issue. But I'd be interested to see what difference going to Noctua fans makes, and I think I also have enough room to do push/pull fans on the radiator up front. There is always something to improve upon, am I right? Haha.

    That's a sweet case, curious that you're not using the PC for MadVR? Your specs are perfect for it to run 4k rips with tone mapping.

      I haven't dabbled into the MadVR world yet but I plan to since it's free. But yeah, you're right; the specs on the PC are definitely up to doing some MadVR goodness!

      ​​​@@HomeTheaterGamer I sense a new series coming from you 😊 yes you definitely should! I run Kodi with a Plex plug-in and have the launcher open mpc-be with MadVR and I'm golden! Plus you can still game with the HTPC

      I wouldn’t rule anything out haha. However I need to first deliver out eh promised miniDSP updated tutorials, MultEQ-X tutorials, etc. I’ve fallen behind due to just life in general but I’m getting back to making videos now. Woohoo!

    You say "not a big deal" when you encounter those little/big issues that make me completely furious and frustrated. You must be more chill than I am 😅

      Haha! I think having built quite a few PCs over the years I kind of just roll with the punches. I actually find the process of PC building to be incredibly relaxing even when shooting a video. I had a lot of fun doing it! However, if I'm fixing things around the house, that's when I get really frustrated pretty quickly, especially when I don't have the right tools for the job.

    I think it would have been a good idea to listen to the difference when in the rooms next to or underneath as I think the biggest improvement is likely there.

    Does the last setting work for LED?
