Review on Fractal Design Define R5 - ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - High Airflow and Silent Optimized - Includes 2x Dynamix GP-14 140mm Silent Fans - Water-Cooling Ready - Black by Kristiyana Briblo ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

In general, I liked the case and it has more advantages than disadvantages. Has some pros Stylish, beautiful. All edges are smooth and easy to wipe off dust, unlike gaming cases with bizarre shapes, grilles and ribs, a flight of designers' imagination. Removable filters. Shumka side walls and front door. Inside, everything is conveniently arranged for the placement of components. Quite a lot of space between the side wall and the motherboard tray to hide the wires. Evaluated when connected 6 HDD. Cons: There is no type C on the front panel. The shell of the USB ports is made of very thin metal, I compared it with the USB ports on the old case and realized that they are of very poor quality here. The built-in reobas is useless and nothing changes at all from switching it, at least the same amount of noise. As a result, I had to replace the standard fans with Noctua NF-A14 ULN and connect them to the mat. board. I inserted Orico sleds into two 5.25 bays for a quick replacement of 3.5 hard drives, as a result, when these hard drives work, there is a resonance on the case and additional noise (due to the lack of rubber pads, which are not provided for 5.25) The hole for the additional power supply of the processor is covered by a third of the case stiffener (seen in the photo), because of this I managed to push the 8-pin connector into it, it crawled through only because I disconnected it into 2 four-pin ones and pushed it in turn.
