🔮 CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB White ATX Smart Case with High Airflow and Tempered Glass Review

The strength of this case lies in its weakness: it's big. But in this case, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. I actually think this case has a lot of value, although before it arrived I thought it was expensive. But I forgot to factor in the fact that it came with three LL120 series RGB fans already installed and connected to the Commander Pro in the case (cost $100 plus saved installation time). The case offers plenty of room to work, and that made it the most comfortable build I've…

Aesthetically pleasing case with plenty of mounting points for heatsinks and fans. The dual compartment design is based on and improves on the concept popularized by Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic. Supports all types of power supplies and motherboard sizes. Each fan slot can be populated with a 140mm fan for superior cooling or a quieter fan, but the gap is only designed for 2 140mm fans at the front. Introducing the 680X with LL120 RGB as the rear exhaust fan. The actual product features a cheaper…

The build quality, looks and dedicated cable and PSU compartment are excellent! Lots of fan mounting options (I have 6 in total) and while it's hard to call it an airflow beast, it certainly has good airflow and I haven't had any temperature issues, even on stress tests and games like Cyberpunk 2077 maxed out. My GPU settings will allow it. However, powerful GPUs cause problems here. You can see the problem in my picture - I have a GeForce Vision 3080 and it's half an inch away from the front…

I hope to give this product a higher rating if/when I get a replacement. The box it came in was damaged. Definitely not scary. It had a small puncture mark on the bottom and two corners were slightly bent as if something heavier had been placed on top in transit. As my first case I bought (the first complete computer built from scratch) I thought it was some screws attached to a little pocket on the side of the case. When opening the box and pulling out the case with foam protection, tons of…

PC cases don't change often. Normally one buys a new motherboard and processor every now and then, but in my case (!) I just wanted to upgrade. My previous case was bought for what was available at my local Fry's Electronics store at the time and I wasn't very impressed with the Thermaltake View 31. It didn't have a PSU shroud so all the ugly cables were just visible. The rear cables were visible behind the glass, which was odd. It also had flimsy thumbscrews and the panels were a hassle to…

I think it's a great case and I'm completely satisfied with it. HOWEVER, I have built many PCs over the years. If you are new to PC building, be aware that if you have a mATX sized motherboard, the installation will be tricky. If you're patient enough, go ahead, but if you're an impatient person, you might want to consider a different case model or use an ITX-sized motherboard. Some common confusions in this case: 1) Yes, mATX will fit, but will block the cable. Holes and prevents the selection
