Review on πŸ’Ž CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB: Ultimate ATX Smart Case with High Airflow and Tempered Glass, in Sleek Black by Tony Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

no hard drive cooling. they will overheat if you install multiple hard drives

This is a beautiful, well made, huge case. However, the hard drives and the power supply are in a separate compartment from the motherboard for a neat look. There is no active cooling in this separate compartment. It offers space for 3x 3.5" hard drives. The slots for them are close together, there is no air gap between them and there is no fan in the entire compartment. My power supply (also a Corsair) has a fan for cooling, but only that runs when needed and doesn't push nearly enough air to cool the disks. The average ride was almost 60 degrees at idle. The rest crammed in alongside it was 50+ as well. I had to fit an extra fan to cool the disks to keep cool.Not recommended.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Expensive
