Review on Corsair Carbide Series 678C: The Ultimate Low Noise Tempered Glass ATX Case in Black by Brian Hrdlicka

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good case, but I have a problem with it.

The side panel on the motherboard side has been annoying me and looks like it's going to be a problem. So it stinks, but the case overall is beautiful and I was paranoid that it wouldn't cool well due to negative reviews saying this case had cooling issues. I don't notice any cooling issues and have great idle temperatures under 30s when using the ghost cooler on a Ryzen 7 3700x with an MSI B450 motherboard. The case itself isn't super quiet with a mesh upper, but it's not loud either. The temp I'm getting is related to the top mesh, not some solid part that can and probably will restrict airflow. So, to end this review, my biggest disappointment with this case is the side panel on the motherboard side as it's already warping a bit. Not happy they didn't design it better so you can put it on and take it off easily. It already pisses me off and it gets gross to take it off and put it back on. I bought this new from Revain for 130 so not a terrible price for a nice case. I'm happy with that.

Pros
  • Pleasant
