Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Corsair 275R Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Gaming Case - White: Optimal Cooling and Slick Design by Jason Przystup

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect attitude! on computer cases

This case is very well made. Good rubber feet, a solid glass panel, magnetic inlet and outlet latches, and a vented PSU cage that allows you to mount the processor up or down. So I bought a cheap $500 iBuypower "gaming" computer (actually appears to be only $479 at the time) from Revain and decided to upgrade when funds allowed. I bought iBuypower 'Enthusiast' which has since been unavailable. This computer came with an Asrock b450m/ibw motherboard which is basically an Asrock b450m/ac (ibw doesn't show up on the asrock website, only ac but they look the same). Anyway, it came with a Ryzen 3 3200g, 8GB of RAM, a stock cooler, a 450W PSU, and I think an NVIDIA GT710(?) graphics card. He now has a Ryzen 7 3700x with a Noctua nh-u12a cooler, a 750W Seasonic Platinum PSU, 64GB of RAM and a Zotac Rtx 2070 Super. Yes I made the most of this motherboard. The only way to get more is to upgrade to an x570 motherboard and I honestly don't need it as everything runs very smooth and cool. I overclocked the RAM to 3400 and the CPU to 4.4 GHz at 1.325 volts. In a standard chassis that only allowed one 120mm fan for the intake and one for the exhaust, the Ryzen Master had mine a little warmer at idle than I would have liked. Includes Corsair 275r Airflow. This case allowed me to install a pair of 140mm Kaze Flex fans in the intake and then use a pair of 120mm Noctua a12x25 fans as the rear and top exhaust. Since the PSU cage allows it to be mounted up or down, I did it that way too, so technically I have 3 exhaust fans, although the PSU fan doesn't pull as well as my 2 noctuas in those rear and up positions .Exhaust. Now my computer idles between 33 and 37 degrees which is cooler than before when I only had 2 fans in the whole system. I've never done a caseport before and was nervous about the front panel connections or that I might fry something, but I watched a few YouTube videos and it worked! Couldn't be happier with the end result! Thank you Corsair for developing such an amazing, well thought out and relatively inexpensive case! I am very happy with the end result!
