Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Corsair iCUE 465X RGB Mid-Tower ATX Smart Case in Stunning White: A Must-Have for Gamers by Zach Clements

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Difficult to install Motherboard

All in all a pretty good case but I have a couple of questions: 1. The top doesn't open and isn't removable and neither does it if your CPU -Cooler is very close to the top and you install it before installing the mobo in the case, the top center mounting screw of the motherboard and to a lesser extent the top back is almost inaccessible. I had to use a parts puller, some pliers and a long CPU cooler hex screwdriver to get them in. It hurts a lot. In the next version, they should just screw the screws on the top and make the grid panel detachable.2. There is no gap under the bottom of the ATX mobas, so you can't put a multi-slot PCI.3 card there. There are no cable ties on the tray at the bottom of the moba mount - these are typically used to secure fan cables. I had to use mesh to attach them which was inconvenient.4. There really isn't enough room in the PSU/3.5" drive bay for a typical power cord and 3.5" bay AND there is a "ledge" that prevents the 3.5" bay from opening can be removed directly - you must either bend it or remove the power supply to get it out. It may or may not exist. but I'd rather have two fixed fan mounts with no dust crevices. The same applies to the rear fan mount. What I like: 3 free intake fans, space for 3 more exhaust fans. The aforementioned warning about the missing fasteners on the top of the PSU. Good glass panel so you can look inside without opening it. I wouldn't recommend buying this until they fix the top so you can put the moba screws in.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
