Review on Fractal Design Define R5 - ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - High Airflow and Silent Optimized - Includes 2x Dynamix GP-14 140mm Silent Fans - Water-Cooling Ready - Black by Kenta Kajikawa ᠌
I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!
The case in work for more than 2 years pleases. Silence and excellent cooling on a powerful machine: ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X / Palit GeForce RTX 2070 / CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16*4 Gb / Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB + LONDISK SSD960GB + HS-SSD-C2022 476GB + several HDD (TOSHIBA, WDC and ST) / SeaSonic SSR-850GD. The previous case (I assembled the car in 2022) was Thermaltake Solano Black, which is also very decent. But the current one will definitely be cooler. I took it for 8540 in 2022, now the price has increased by a third, but I still don’t see an alternative to it.
Pros
- An excellent case for a solid car (I assembled it in 202202220, the kit cost 180+ sput). Excellent soundproofing. The size is just right for a computer. The table is placed on a stand on wheels. It is possible to place a heap of hards. The iron is heavy, benign, most of the wires can be removed under the mother, assembling the system unit is a pleasure. Lots of (8) places for propellers, enough space for a powerful cooler per CPU and for a video card. Those. the case according to the characteristics is almost ideal (as for me).
Cons
- Not much. Is that a bright blue LED on the face. Heavy, of course. After 2 years and 2 months, the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X processor burned out, and when I took the car for diagnostics, I suffered and blew my back.
