Review on π» Thermaltake Core X71 Tempered Glass Edition Full Tower Case with Pre-Installed Cooling Fans - Perfect for Gaming PCs! by Bima α
Good product, more pros than cons.
I bought this case to replace be quie!t Dark Base 900 Pro. Because be quiet! for all its advantages, we blow it very badly, inside we get a bath. When organizing water cooling with one radiator at the top of the case, with the lid open, the temperature of the video card and processor was 15 degrees lower than when it was closed, and this was at half the fan speed. Therefore, I decided to take a more ventilated case. My requirements were for the installation of the following components: mother + processor + video card, three 3.5 '' hard drives, one SSD for SATA3 and a Blu-Ray drive. The trouble is that now case manufacturers have started selling cases intended for dropsy and whistles in video highlights, and in their opinion there should be no place in cases for drives and hard drives. Well, or again cases with blank walls. Therefore, from what was available, only the Thermaltake X71 TG turned out to be sane. In general, I can still install everything that I need. You may have to make something to attach the pump to the reservoir. The case is good, but fell before the desire of the developer to tell the consumer what he should install in the case and what not. Maybe even a desire to save somewhere in production.
- Normal ventilation. Design without any crazy ideas. I wonβt particularly describe the advantages, there are a lot of videos and reviews on the network without me.
- 1) I would like the metal a little thicker. 2) The front cover is removed inconveniently. Especially from above and below, where the fingers pass with difficulty. 3) When installed in the upper compartment, the power supply has nowhere to take air from. 4) Mount HDD - quiet horror. From the theme "cheap and cheerful." One basket for three disks with some kind of plastic inside, into which the HDD is inserted. The basket itself is attached to some kind of stand. All this design can be transferred to the lower compartment. And under this design, a hole remains in the upper compartment. You seem to be moving this basket down to install the pump on top, and there is a hole instead of attachment points. Make your own stand. 5) Two more HDD mounts at the back from the same series. The same plastic masks attached to the squiggles. 6) When moving the HDD cage down, you will have to remove the metal structure for mounting the water cooling radiator with fans, it is simply not compatible with the cage. 7) Complete fans create a good airflow, there is a backlight, but they are quite noisy. We'll have to remove them from the system altogether. 8) There is no possibility to purchase any accessories for the case.
