Hello mff friends, I wanted to share my experience building with the Deepcool CG330 3F. I sort of upsized from my Asus AP201 into this because I’ve always wanted a dual chamber fish tank case. Also as you can see in the last 2 pics my cats have started to outgrow the AP201 and I wanted something a little wider 😂. I still want to go smaller and am holding out for the new DAN C4 Matx or itx but wanted to scratch my itch and see what a fish tank is like. 

While the Deepcool is not quite the same build quality as the Asus (thinner steel and more ABS) it still holds up rather well. I’m still working on my cable management but the second chamber has plenty of space for my RM850x and fan controller. I was rather impressed with the Deepcool case fans, they are FL12S (2 reverse on the side) which top out at 1500rpm, they’re very quiet and have nice RGB which matches my Arctic fans nicely. Plus there is room for 2x140mm fans on the side which I may swap out later. The viewing angle is lovely as expected, I am a bit annoyed about the light that shines through the white edges of the glass but that could be easily fixed with some tape. The size is also not that different from the AP201, it’s maybe about 80mm wider and 20mm higher but it’s 40mm shorter length. It would probably feel larger if your pc was on for desk. Lastly the panels are a bit annoying to take off, there are hand screws in the back and the front glass is not removable, so not quite as easily accessible as the Asus. Overall I’m happy with the look of the case; the quality for the price is fine, it’s a breeze to build in, and it has solid component clearances. (My cats seem to approve of the added width)

My thermals have improved a bit as well, going from 2 bottom intakes and a top and side exhaust on the Asus to this have dropped my CPU temps about 10c and GPU about 3-4c under load. So now sitting at about 50-60c under load for both CPU and GPU. There’s a lot more breathing room for the air cooler in this case. It also has magnetic dust filters on the top and bottom, which is nice for me because it stops at the cat fluff and dander from falling through like it did on the Asus.  

My specs:   
Mobo - Gigabyte B650m Aorus Elite ax ice  
CPU - 7800x3d  
GPU - Powercolor Hellhound 9070xt  
RAM - G.Skill Flare X5 32gb CL32  
Cooler -  TL Peerless Assassin 120SE (with 2 Arctic P12 Pros)  
Fans - 2x Arctic P12 Pro reverse and 1 Arctic P12 Pro  
PSU - Corsair RM850x

Anyway that’s my take, I’d say I’m pleasantly surprise with the quality for value. Let me your thoughts, suggestions, or comments!
