Review on Computer case Fractal Design Define 7 Light TG black by Wiktor Wnkowicz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

I will highlight the main points. This is my third FD case. Considered buying Fractal and only Fractal, this is love. The last Torrent, however, disappointed me, but we will not dwell on it. Define 7 compared to the previous R6 is already more elaborate and pleasant to assemble and operate: - Slightly larger in size - Instead of screws on the side panels, there are already latches (very convenient), - Removing the front panel from plastic stops has also become more convenient, - All the same soundproofing on the panels, - Legs are taller, bottom air intake is better (with fan/s) - Good complete set, the deaf top panel can be replaced with a perforated one. But the main reason for the purchase is the ability to install the RTX card in a vertical position using the native FLEX B-20 riser. Provides a free space of 9cm to the glass. For this reason, we do not choke the propellers on the video card (like on the R6 and only for the GTX), we provide better air exchange in the case, and thus reduce the core/memory temperatures in the load by an order of magnitude. And! importantly, we lower the temperatures of RAM and m2 ssd disks, of which I have three. In general, Fractal Define 7 is a solid, modern and rather spacious case where you can implement any of your ideas, up to bombing water custom. All good.

Pros
  • - All in the comments
Cons
  • - I initially knew what I was buying, so I didn’t really get to the bottom of anything. But I will make one point. During the assembly process, when you don’t particularly know the design and specifics (and the instructions will not help here), you may encounter the fact that you will have to disassemble and reassemble everything. Let me give you an example: I assembled almost the entire system, it came to connecting and mounting the HDD on the rear panel, and then I realized that the basket is fastened with screws from the inside of the case, and in order to remove it, you need to remove the plastic partition and unscrew these 4 screws. In order to remove this partition, you need to remove the metal holder for the CDROM, which, in turn, is on two screws, which can be unscrewed only after removing the entire front panel. Plus, I also had to remove the radiator, which was also located on the front panel, because otherwise it would not have been possible to remove this HDD basket.
