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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

An excellent case with LL120 fans included, but working inside is uncomfortable.

The case looks great but unfortunately it's too small to work in. I suspect that this is due to the compactness of the case. As a result, I managed to fit the following system into it: - AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X - ASUS ROG Strix TRX40-XE motherboard - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founder's Edition GPU - Corsair H150i Pro XT iCUE 360mm AIO- 2x SATA SSD- 1x SATA HDD - Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB Plus 1200W PSU Many reviewers remarked that it would not be a problem to hold the HDD cage even with a large PSU, but they were wrong. While the hard drive bay was there, the power supply didn't come in at all, too big. It's not even a super large PSU. Had to remove the hard drive bay halfway through assembly. The end result looks fantastic, but as I mentioned, working inside the case was excruciating - everything you place has to be planned out in advance or you'll be working. in pitfalls. I certainly wouldn't recommend buying this case for anyone just starting out building their first PC, only experienced builders - and even then, expect difficulties.

Pros
  • Great workmanship
Cons
  • Durable
