Review on Case Thermaltake Core V21 (CA-1D5-00S-1WN) by Mateusz Dbski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

I saw him on the Market by accident and couldn't sleep for two months, trying to figure out why I need him. Invented. Mining rig + file server + web server + virtual machines + well, no matter what else the child would amuse. For mining, 2x RX570 Red Dragon were first bought and installed as standard, in the mother. The HDD basket cools well. The lower WD Red 3tb in the sluggish write mode is 40 degrees, the average WD Red 4tb in the frantic write and read mode (50+ torrents) is 45, the upper Barracuda 0.5Tb is 48. On hot days (+30), the temperature of the disks reached 58, but the server screws hold 65. 08/10/2022 Successfully managed to grab the third video card. And then it started. The guides for the fans turned out to be very handy. Temperatures: RX580 in motherboard with dual: 52% cooler 64C RX570 medium with dual: 54% cooler 69C RX570 extreme without dual: 54% cooler 69С The installation is simple - long metal twists, one for the holes in the frame, the second for the pin between the textolite and the backplate - voila, the card is securely hung. Outcome: A compact multi-purpose server with good cooling, accommodating three full-size video cards, while being quiet - 3 video cards are barely audible over the noise of the compressor of the refrigerator on which it stands. You can put another one, but then it will be hot and noisy.

Pros
  • Design, lots of space inside, excellent ventilation and cooling, HDD capacity. Transforms for everyone, the front panel buttons can be thrown at your discretion.
Cons
  • There is no dust filter on the bottom fan opening. Subjectively - the place in the case could be disposed of more efficiently, the extra 3 cm of height and 5 cm of depth are not particularly needed in the standard layout of the case. But when you buy a case for mining, it becomes an important plus. It is difficult to neatly lay the wires, whatever one may say, but the part still remains to hang out. Never rely on fans to be installed strictly according to the specification. I was very disappointed with the system for attaching fans to the side / top walls. I expected to screw fans directly to the cover sheet. I took Deepcool UF140 for this case. And he miscalculated a lot. List nuances: 1) The fans are attached to separate rails, which are then inserted into the housing. There are only two pairs of guides, i. E. this is a maximum of 4 fans. 1.1) The rails are only designed for "square" fans. The purchased Dipkuls did not fit, because they are round - the size is like 140, and the mounts are like 120. I took Thermalright X-silent 140 instead. 2) On one side - for example, on top - do not put 4 140 mm fans! Only 2, the second set of guides is simply not included. 3) You can't put them at an angle to each other either - for example, on top of the video cards and on the side - they rest against each other. 4) Even if you put the coolers on the side, fastening them to the cover itself, on blowing video cards - then only one, if you put two video cards - then the bottom cooler will rest.
