Corsair 6500X Case – iCUE LINK RX RGB Fans Review Discussion

Quote

Today, we delve into the realm of dual-chamber PC cases with the Corsair 6500X. Heavily inspired by cases like the Air 540, the Corsair 6500X delivers modern PC amenities while embracing new motherboard standards.

Motherboard manufacturers are pitching a future with little to no visible cables. MSI, Asus, and others are developing motherboards with reverse connections; common connectors like fan headers, and 24-pin are contained on the backside. The current challenge is that most of the available cases on the market are incompatible with these proposed, competing standards. Corsair's solution is to develop cases that support all of them. Courtesy of Corsair, we've been provided with this forward-thinking case and several RX120 RGB fans. Are these products right for your next build? Let's find out.

FANTASTIC review of the case and fans (pun intended). Very professional and thorough. Nice work, Brother @RageSet.

 

That is a really nice case, too. It looks like the front glass panel is hinged rather than screwed or snapped to the chassis. Is that accurate?

 

A trend with rear chamber cases seems to be moving the PSU up from the bottom and having it kind of centered on the rear I/O panel. My O11 XL EVO is like that as well. There are pros and cons to it. I don't like that the PSU partially covers the CPU back plate access hole with the PSU positioned there. But, otherwise I think having the area beneath it open has some benefits.

Very good review @RageSet  I didn't know you was an RGB snob But the nice thing with most chassis you can remove the blingy bling or disable it. I'myself have an Corsair box (1000D) but prefer not to use any of the iCUE LINK ecosystem that follow Corsair products. I hate such type tech. All in all Corsairs boxes are built very well. So it seems this chassis follow same path as for Corsair's older pc chassis. Again, thanks for a very good review. Thumb up from me.

The front glass panel is on a hinge. You can take it completely off (unlike the 680X RGB) if you want. I can see a company developing a distroplate for this case if it popular enough.  Thanks for the kind words brother!

Yes brother, I am an RGB snob but only as a compliment to custom water cooling. Thanks bro for the feedback!
