Corsair Launches the 6500X and 6500D into a sea of very similar cases. Thing is did they do it first and their horrific lead times have really shot them in the foot?

Pro-tip: Consider buying the airflow version, even if you think you'd like the glass, because you can't buy a conversion kit the opposite way... It's really silly. I regret buying the glass version now because I'd really like to mount a reservoir to the mesh-side fans.

I still got my air 540 case use another now. Tho ill never get rid of the air 540 case, as for me it made my day every day using it. This new case is nice as well. Tho i hope they make 1 that'll fit a couple 420 rads in it. & a few 360 rads to go with that. Now that'll be a seriously nice case to own. Glad your channel is still around loved the content over the years Keep up the great work mate.

Despite having a 5000D I'm really liking this case.

I'm gonna upgrade from a 5000d airflow for sure.

There is less space for cables in top and left side of the motherboard because this case is dedicated for MSI Project Zero & ASUS BTF concept motherboards where all connectors are reversed, on the back of motherboard, where all cables are hidden and not displayed in front. ASUS even do have Advance BTF which is motherboard with power connector for graphic card, so you don't have power cable sticking out from your graphic card in front of your eyes at all.

Corsair's vertical mount is now available on their site.

Excellent video. Really like the look of this case and the way the mesh looks. I would def want to mod this to fit 3x140mm fans on the side panel so they could match the bottom 140mm's and a single 140mm on the back.

I got this in black all setup with 10 link fans and the link 360mm AIO at the top, got the6500x in black with a black zotac 4090 and an i9 13900K with 64GB dominator titanium 6400mhz what vertical mount are you running? also does it come in black? i really want to vertical mount my 4090 in this case ^^

Having the ability to replace the exterior panels with wood seems to be a clear response to the Fractal North, and I'm here for it.

I'm still using my 540 Air Carbide with a custom water loop. This new airflow case tempts me a lot.

Just bought it, but I can't unscrew the upper hinge, the screw just rotates in place, luckily it's enough to completely remove upper hinge which is held by 3 screws, but it's still a bummer.

How did you obtain the vertical gpu mount? I have not found one for sale anywhere. What gpu bracket did you use? My CoolerMaster bracket will not fit this case.

@steveaustin4118 3 ай бұрын

looking at that i'm thinking glass front a 360 rad top and bottom and a large res pump combo in where the side fan would go

can the D version fit 4 360mm radiators at the same time?

5000D user Day 1 in the UK but Project Zero and this case are my next build for sure

@CarlosDeBernardMrAgapi 3 ай бұрын

i need to get the carbon cutters for my dremel for that case, to open the lower portion. it is known that part close like that is not bueno for airflow. or print a 5mm spacer. but i like the case. has a good pointers. if where me mover the io panel to the center so be out of the rads fans. did love at l;east they fix the 5000d issue but i think they could do that higher like a few mm since using something more than 27mm rad is a no no aside that look ok i thing!

Ah, a nice "grab your cup of tea and a biscuit and sit down for a rant" length TTL video. Nice case, and if I didn't already have an O11 Mini I would probably have considered it. And the ding is back (for now). Praise the ding!

I have completely outgrown the RGB phase, so I'm fine with the black model.

Hey Just wanna ask? On their Website they say 3x140mm on Top and Bellow? Is that Correct..But sadly no 420mm Radiatio.

@dozilla77 Ай бұрын

Just watched another review from KitGuru tech and he was able to mod the case to fit 3x140mm fans on the side panel. I don't believe you can go bigger than 360 for the radiator though.

Water cooling should never be applied to the top, because the hot air produced by the video card goes out. Water cooling should only be placed in front or on the side so that the air comes in from the outside. It is always much cooler outside than inside the house. It is 25 degrees Celsius outside and 40-45 degrees Celsius inside the house.

@vlad_8011 3 ай бұрын

You said wrong fan combo - top and bottom - triple 140's or triple 120's.

I’m running a 5000d case with Ian li fans, not a fan of the link fans so if I get this case I’d just use my own lian li fans fs

@psttech4290 3 ай бұрын

i thought it was a modern 540x/680x rather than like any lian li

@anthrussell23 3 ай бұрын

corsair did this kinda case before lian li, i had a Corsair Carbide Air 540 about 10 year ago, only thing that new is the side intake

@tompayne4945 3 ай бұрын

As a loyal 540 owner, this is the first case for YEARS that has really exited me. some really nice touches, i think the only downside is the relative incompatibility with 140mm based builds. the mesh side is very well implemented IMO, and plenty of ways to create airflow and have a glass front for looks with no compromise to cooling. The screws alone make it worthy of the innovation award surely?

@PaulHogan-fp7un 17 күн бұрын

Tom, you open the video with a statement that this is the 6500X, but it is actually the 6500D Airflow, isn't it?

Price is the biggest problem here,£170 in the UK compared with the NZXT H6 flow at £100 with money as tight as it is I would definitely go with the H6 as it's just much better value for your money.
