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 Elang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

Initially, I didn’t have the most powerful system and two regular fans were enough for me, though I still advise you to buy a third fan and put it in front. Over time, I upgraded and now I have 1080ti and 2700x, there are three fans for this, two for blowing in front and one for blowing out at the back. In this scenario, my video card warms up to 70 degrees with a fan speed of about 50-55 percent, it still becomes audible, not critical, but when you start to accelerate in pursuit of a quiet assembly, it’s already difficult to stop. Therefore, I am thinking of buying three more quiet fans and making a configuration of four for blowing in and two for blowing out. A few years later, I caught fire with thoughts that I want to change the body to another one for a change. I looked at various proposals and came to the conclusion that there were no adequate reasons for changing the corps during this time and scored on this idea. Unfortunately, I do not have normal photos, so I am attaching what I have. One o'clock in the morning, I have to sleep, and for 40 minutes I gasp at the review of the case, which in the end I really liked and serves well, I hope it's worth it. :R

Pros
  • I've been using it for a few years now and have no complaints. It dampens all noise well, is quite spacious and it is convenient to assemble a system in it, which can then be upgraded without any problems. I really like its flexible layout and many build options for various tasks. During this time, there have been no significant changes in the market, for the sake of which it would make sense to change it, and, so far, it does not seem that such a thing is foreseen. The support of the guys deserves special respect, I really like this attitude towards customers, it is very captivating. They willingly answered my problems that arose at the beginning, in the end they even sent fasteners for the front door, which did not open very smoothly. As a result, I didn’t need fasteners when I figured out how to open the door normally, so this didn’t become a problem for me, since the filter doesn’t often have to be cleaned. In general, the entire front panel was sent to individual people for replacement, I had no problems with it, although there were also concerns about this. The kit comes with a vast number of screws and various fasteners, neatly arranged in boxes and carefully signed. I rebuilt the system in it a couple of times, there are small abrasions in places with screws, but this is not some kind of drawback. The steel is quite thick and holds up well. At first, the covers did not fit snugly, I wrote in support, it turned out that you can tighten the legs on them, then they will fit snugly.
Cons
  • Of the things that sometimes get me - sometimes the filter located below starts to vibrate, as I understand it, this happens because of the basket with hard drives. This rarely happens and is solved by simply pressing a finger on it, it stands very close, so it’s not far to stretch. I'm thinking of moving the hard drives up soon to add 3 more fans, hope the filter stops vibrating It still passes dust, but the smallest, so you still have to clean it. It also settles on the turntables from the inside. I recently configured them normally to turn off when idle. It seems that it stopped sucking in all the garbage, for this there is a good software - Argus Monitor. Which is not very expensive, but can replace Commander Pro if you have enough ports on the motherboard for turntables.

Pros: Lots of space for 3.5 hdd. Well blown. Different cons: no mesh on top. There is not much room for cable management in the back, although I have nothing to compare it to.
