23:36 My Conclusion On The 6500X

[ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

I first bought the Lian Li o11 but then realized I had purchased a BTF motherboard…Lian Li does not currently make a supporting case. So I returned it and got the Corsair 6500 that does support it and love it. I do prefer the hinged door over the disassembly door that Lian Li has. Overall, I am a fan of the new computer case from Corsair.

10:02 I’ve got the same case that has 4 usb 3.2 at the front panel and I’ve been looking for the best motherboards that can support it. I am preferably looking for z790 motherboards. PLEASE HELP 🙏🏾

[ADFilms]

Beautiful build. That case does look pretty cool, nice work!

For the black cable conflicting with the white components on the new Corsair iCUE link system which uses the same removeable cables for fans AND the CPU cooler and custom cooling components if you have those you can get white cables for them too and maybe you could potentially get other colours too at some point in the future since the cables are removable

[ceuser]

We need a case that can accommodate push/pull AIO with a thick radiator like Arctic Liquid Freezer iii and have enough room for fans to cool the gpu and everything else inside the chassis.

I bought that board for my son's PC and the NZXT B650E for mine. We both love the white aesthetic!

I did a build with this and the MSI Project Zero... I did go for the link. It was actually a good and bad decision. At the end of the day, the back-side portion of case space is claustrophobic with all the cables back there--the FULL length of the cable. And they all congregate around the PSU. You'd think this system would make cable management easier, but in a way it makes it kind of tougher. The harddrive bay also gets in the way of the CPU power connection on the motherboard. You have to remove one of the HDD trays and feed the cable through the HDD bay. Annoying, but anyway...

Point is, the LINK system removed a bunch of other fan cables I would have had to manage, but the hub itself turned out to be an annoyance. First of all, my fan connections were coming from the top of the case while the USB mobo ports are on the bottom. The RBG wire is at the top of the mobo, too, but that's at least pretty long. There's only so much cable length coming from the LINK hub, so between that and still being able to reach the fan cables, it became a headache. You also need an extra 8-to-6 cable.

Corsair's vertical mount is now available on their site. Be aware that if you use a bottom mounted radiator in your case these brackets will not work/fit.

[bonanzabrandon]

I think the most interesting part of the case is the wood accents that you can buyer separately. Corsair definitely noticed the Fractal North. Also, the support for reverse cables is nice.

[JakeBilling]

Personally I feel cases in this design are a little too large and look quite empty. Don’t get me wrong it does look clean, I don’t know, I really want to like them but they’re becoming too bulky 🤷‍♂️ I couldn’t see myself building inside a case like this, where would you place it, it’s too big for most desks 😮😅 Great video as always!

[mniakan]

15:06 like clockwork here we are with Marcus and another radiator

But seriously though I did a build in one these cases a while ago and they’re… they’re certainly a ride let’s just say, it’s high quality and premium in all the wrong ways and we ended up getting a lancool 3 in white the guy who ordered it first cause the top panel was sagging heavily when we put a 360 radiator on it

Upgrading from my 5000d to 6500 thanks for the review

[user..]

Amazing case, I really like that corsair did come up with an O11 competitor. If you want to go for a corsair ecosystem but still want such a kind of case this is perfect.

[rameal]

Hey I don’t know if you still check these comments but I’m having an issue with air flow with this case. When I first started it it was around the 24*c but I let it run and now it’s pushing 80*c how should I have my fans? I have a liquid cooler up top one fans on left side three on the back panel and 2 on bottom panel

[Aquantia-xuqw]

I still don't understand people mounting AIOs in such cases on the top instead of on the side.

[FlyTimeRC]

I just got the black RGB version with a new Corsair 360 aio and Rx fans to match the ones that come with the case. I'm excited to refresh my build with this case. It's about $700 that's a lot but it will look amazing. And I'll have tons of room for any future upgrades!

[calvinm]

What is the temp of the room when you do these tests, PC Centric?

[Robbie-yeoo]

this is on amazon so is it just the case or do i get everything for a pc because i’ve never had a pc and i saw it on amazon for $400

[taiki]

What white motherboard would you guys recommend for a white pc build?
Is it worth to invest into a white X670E or is a B650 enough?
