Corsair 2500X Review

[@alb.1911]

I am happy that your channel is haven’t a great success! One of the key is that you go straight to the point and save us a lot of times, thank you.

[@hgmyyt]

this is a brilliant review with very important details we have to know, thanks

[@TechTesters]

Glad you liked it

[@RYzE_B3Y0ND]

I loved the Air 540. My buddy bought one too and says he plans to keep it when he upgrades his PC this year. Corsair is really doing good stuff these days.

[@Patrick-y4d1z]

If you like the Air 540, the Crystal 680X is kinda like a more premium version.

[@unknowntiger9108]

[@theyoungjawn]

@@Patrick-y4d1zfrom someone who had that case, the airflow is bad. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Wood panels look incredible!

[@griffin1366]

Those black ones looked great!

[@camotech1314]

Corsair now do those for the 4000D series too 😊

[@robert3892]

An excellent review that seems to have covered all of the information the consumer needs to know. If you decide to buy a project zero or BTF motherboard you'll have even less cable clutter in the front of the case. Using Corsair iCue Link you can reduce cable clutter further. If you live in Europe the Corsair EU website is out of stock at the moment but some retailers should have stock. There might be more stock on the Corsair EU website next week.

Very informative, thank you.

Great review of Corsair 2500X Nada!

[@TechTesters]

Thank you!

[@rowanhorsley761]

Great Video...great case design from Corsair. Love the fact you can change with wooden panel look

[@TechTesters]

Thank you!

[@dumbdee4]

Amazing video as always!!

[@raycasta10]

Wanted a updated version of the 280x but this is cool too

[@Kaymen1980]

I would have loved to see that aswell.. This is basically a bigger o11 mini with arguably better aesthetics..

[@sinmiedo3]

I just got this case & I love it

[@pdegan2814]

Very nice review! I'm not a big fan of the fishbowl design in general, though this probably wouldn't be my case of choice, but it does look well done. I do appreciate that Corsair seems to be shifting to a default of not including any fans, I almost never end up using the ones that come with any case I buy. I'll be curious to see Corsair's next iteration of the more traditional tower cases like the 4000/5000/7000 models.

[@athinasdesigns]

So this case doesn't include any parts?

[@DoubleVGames]

Thanks for the review! This would be really good for living room pc

[@TechTesters]

My pleasure!

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

Perfect timing! I'm looking for a smaller ATX case to use in my new build (14700/4080) and this Corsair 2500X is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for another excellent video1

[@TechTesters]

Hope it helped!

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

@@TechTesters It did, indeed! Order placed! 😁

[@Shiv.141]

This build looks really nice .

[@robertcochran7103]

Thank you so much for posting this excellent review. The case construction does look solid to me, and I agree with you on the other points you made. You present so well. It is almost like you are also a professor at a local university. The videography is uniformly excellent and done to a high standard. I was worried that I missed an episode from you and I checked every few days -- and yes, I do subscribe to your channel. Your eyeglasses seem to be new, perhaps? I greatly enjoyed this episode. Perhaps you can consider doing a future episode on how to repair a complete system which has been physically damaged. Here is a possible scenario: a person moves a system (meaning a functioning motherboard, power supply, GPU, etc which are properly installed in a case) to another room, but in the process, accidentally drops the case. How does one triage the damage and then repair the case and its contents? I'm speaking hypothetically. I have not yet had such a misfortune. I did recently drop a very heavy uninterruptible power supply a few inches onto a desk, and it cost me part of a fingernail.

[@654321yhtaeD]

it gives me 011 dynamic mini vibes and ii like it!

[@GerbenVanErkelens]

Hmm not sure if I like these kind of cases from the design itself. I'd think I like the direction from fractal a bit more.

[@zacharystrange8920]

why didn't they make the edges flush. It literally looks like 3 cases glued together

[@dabneyoffermein595]

now give them credit, they didn't want this copy-cat chassis to have the exact same lines, there could be some trademark / patent issues. 😆🤣🤣😂

[@Tech-Ledger]

You only have the 3 bottom fans as intake. I cant imagine the crazy high thermals on this. Intake on the back and bottom.

[@JWLLMZ]

Any recommendations for something similar but slightly smaller?

[@GamePro0012]

There's also the 6500 series for those who need a bit more space.

[@justanobody4983]

For those bitching about matx. Lol

[@GamePro0012]

@@justanobody4983 True, as the 6500 can fit larger motherboards.

Thank you.

Very good review.

[@chewingcheung]

Why are these cases all designed to be on the right side of the desk?

[@Kaymen1980]

Great review 👍 Looks like great build quality as always, and if you into the the whole wood thing, sure... But this case is absolutely massive, and the top panel looks extremely restrictive.. Sure it can hold an ATX PSU, but It's not "mini" in any sense of the word.. Hope they will make a 1500x... My mini is staying 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@nalda4334]

This is how to do it right. Not those lian li o11 mini that can fix atx, too big as a case, or their previous 280x that is too small and choking the airflow

[@Xilent1]

ChatGPT recommended this video to me. Great video by the way

[@TechTesters]

Seriously? How did that go?

[@Xilent1]

@@TechTesters I was doing research on what case can hold a 4090. Then it recommended your review of the case. The last statement from ChatGPT was "For a visual overview and further insights into the Corsair 2500X, you might find the following video review helpful" Then shows the picture for the video. I watch your channel anyway, but it was interesting to get you as a recommendation for review none the less. 🤣 I'm still searching for cases, but down to Lian Li 011 Vision Black or Thermaltakes new PC cases forgot the names. The one you can sit up and on its side. Looks like capsule. I enjoyed your review in any case though. No pun intended I guess. LOL

[@AGGPEE]

I just want a mATX case without windows 😞

[@michaelthompson9798]

It appears that this case is a Corsair Carbide series looking case update. I like it but want an ITX compact version of these cases 💪👍🥳

[@gauchemode7488]

Nice case!

[@TechTesters]

I think so too!

[@IvanCshorts]

great review! maybe in the future i will get to this one, for the moment i enjoy a lot my NZXT H9 flow ;)

[@FrostedAimer]

O11 is going down on the 6500x maybe wood panels for the 2500x?

[@Keyosu]

If I go mAtx I think this would be my first pic. Love the design. Reminds me of THE fish tank with some better layout choices

[@rare6499]

Great overview as always! Corsair aren’t that innovative these days when it comes to cases. It looks good, it just feels like Corsair are often playing catchup these days with other manufacturers.

[@TechTesters]

Thanks! And you're right, no points for originality or innovation. But it's very well made.

[@OGHawkeye]

is it just me and my monitor brightness adjustments or are all these build videos with this chassis lately just seem to be extremely over lit? too much exterior off camera light

[@Hustlexcrowe]

Ive had my parts picked out for a couple months for when i buy later this year. I am kind of intrigued with the new project zero b650m back connect motherboard and now that corsair has a compatible case im actually wanting to try the combo lol On the current case i had picked out i was going to run a 360 aio on the side and exhaust on top but if i were to do aio exhaust on top and intake from the side with 2-140mm fans would that be alright? Not familiar with airflow on these fish bowl style cases

[@Fatal_Mods]

i saw the corsair 2500d airflow has 2 fans 120mm at the front can you buy the mesh for the front to add 2 more fans for Corsair 2500X ?

[@skassie1310]

to bad that all cases currently have the window in the left side. I have my PC always on the left size of my desk so I hope the cases could be swapped in the other way soon

[@TechTesters]

There are a couple of cases that can be rotated. I know some be quiet! ones had that option. Not this though.

[@skassie1310]

@@TechTesters Thank you for the reply and I hope you will have them on your desk again soon for a great review!

[@FusionKota]

Idk I think this case doesn't look great compared to options from other companies like Hyte and Lian Li. So hard to choose which one I want for my next build

[@sharlesleglerc]

"Panorama case" you can just say O11 lol. As a 280x owner, I probably still will get this...

[@willsutton54]

I had the Air540 I think ( well it was the Corsair Cube) and it was my fav case. Its sad that its a micro case and I dont like the aio's tubing resting on the GPU

[@TechTesters]

Air 540 was nice, as was the 240 (which was the mATX version, I said it wrong in the video). The 6500X is the new ATX model btw.

I cant recall the name of the original Corsir "cube" but it was what the German based the Lian li one on@@TechTesters

I have mixed feelings. I dont really like cases with large footprints altho they are small in size like this one.

would an msi suprim x liquid 4090 fit into this case (mounted horizontal not vertical)

Too big, and too expensive. Cool features. Very pretty.

[@thedeejlam]

They lost me on no-ATX at that price. Many of us still like our PCIe connectivity, especially with today's obese GPUs. // Keeping the height low but maintaining top 360 AIO compatibility I guess... for... pushing cross-product sales? And the I/O, personally, would have been nicer on the front. // Anyway, the way the grommets are placed in a 90 degree notch would be fantastic for good E-ATX-width cable management you can't even get in many bigger cases.

I wouldn't say it's a lian li wanna be. Imo they do it better with having the glass go to the edges without black boxes interrupting the viewing angles. It seems that lian li it's the only company that does that now which I would prefer they made a version that was more like this.

[@awgoodrich8]

Great review. One nitpick thiugh. Why are the bottom fans intake fans? That's fighting against the GPU fans thats trying to push air out of the GPU. The bottom fans should be exhaust fans.

[@LordAngelus]

Bro what? GPU fans are intake. And bottom fans should be intake in the vast majority of builds.

@LordAngelus Yeah you're right. They sure as heck are aren't they. Not sure what the heck I was thinking.
