Corsair Crystal 570X RGB Review | Glass Over Function?

[@Amirichi]

I bought this case and built with it, it's friggin awesome. Yes cable management is a welcome challenge, but once done right, it looks perfect.

[@pandasdreamlygon]

bought it today... its nice

[@devanshkamdar8244]

Just say already you're mad because you can't afford this.

[@RonaldRaiden]

the glass is whatever. clean it when you want it to look nice. the main thing about this case, and I'm sure others have the feature, is the fan filter screen. that is so awesome. I built my rig about 6 months ago and I've cleaned the screen twice, my heatsink is still shiny no dust

[@Thulgore]

As an actual janitor; Fuck you! =/

[@igamehackshelper]

Corsair really is an amazing company. They fixed nearly all of the problems that he had with this case. The PSU shroud is now covered, they also added a whole in it for the case connectors to pass through. There is also the cable cover in the rear that wasn't included before.

[@HardwareCanucks]

You should do and updated version of this. I just bought this one and they have changed the psu cage so it is closed at the end now and a pass thru on the top of the cage for cables instead. The button layout is also slightly changed with one usb C instead. The logos are rgb aswell.

[@EstrayOne]

indeed I bought it with the cut-out on the PSU shroud. had to buy the plate that closes the front of the PSU shroud seperatly though. and the logos are white but I really don't mind that.

[@DoomWalker42]

Dimitry I have to say that you make the best adds out of all the main tech youtubers that I watch (LTT, Bitwit, Paul's Hardware, JayzTwoCents, Austin, etc...)!!! The adds actually have quality of an almost cinematic sense and I love the whole "terminator" vibe that you got going with the NZXT cooler. I watched your review of that cooler and am seriously thinking of getting it to upgrade my Cooler Master 212 Hyper EVO so I can finally do some overclocking on my 2 year old CPU. As for the case in this video tempered glass would be nice but I would be freaked out about damaging it cause I like to move my PC around a lot for LAN parties or gaming in the living room when family come over, anti-social I know but they don't mind occasionally! :) However I have to say that the Corsair 570X would look nice with some LEDS and a full custom water loop. Thanks for the review, Dimitry - Keep up the good work!! :)

[@hadnt2379]

camera angles better than porn ffs

[@techxbd]

very very VERY Honest review! hats off Dimitri.... love this video. :) though i dont understand why no reviewer is mentioning the weird multicolor Front panel cables?!

[@HardwareCanucks]

The front panel cables are all black.

[@techxbd]

oH! i was talking abt the HD audio cables #7:20 :p

[@NYcibbyRyder]

A solution for the bottom is to mount the m.2 bracket EVEN if you don't have an m.2 to put in it. The reason is you can run the cables taut underneath it. It keeps them flat. I also found if you run the cables that need to go there up from the psu basement instead of through the rubber grommet it helps to keep them taut and out of sight. I wish I could post a pic of it to show you.

[@bandp2]

I was about to order this and thought I would just check out a review or two thank god I watched this. I shall continue my search. Thanks

[@gdeeable]

Thanks for a great, thorough review. I was hoping for this in a full tower size, and I almost purchased this one. I pulled back because of the limited space at the top for radiator fans, such limited wiring options and exposed wiring at the power supply. Thanks for exposing the flaws in this beautiful 'glass house.'

[@JohnyKnox]

Corsair released an update to this case since this video fixing a few issues. PSU is not fully shrouded and has a grommet. Wiring management could still be improved slightly but overall I managed to tuck everything in really nicely. The top has a Corsair H100i Pro with ample clearance for ram. The radiator does cover the kobo a bit bit its not a big deal. I would say my only real issue with this case is the inability to turn the lights off completely. I feel like the RGB would have been a lot better if it was part of the Link system and could sync up with my AIO cooler. And even better than that if both worked in mystic light. Overall I really like this case and I would totally recommend it now.

[@garyryan9641]

Probably one of the best reviews of corsair PC cases. I a huge fan of corsair and you've just earned a subscriber. Please upload more videos!

The production quality in your videos is incredible.

[@lancediano8014]

I just got the 570x mirror black edition, I love it, when it's day it appears to be mirror and looks sharp, but at night it becomes see through like a dark tempered glass. It fixes almost all of the flaws of the 570x the only one I found to care about was fitting my hands inside the psu shroud to be very difficult, just make sure to plug in your stuff before hand. All that being said it's an amazing case and I'd suggest it to anyone

[@seethisth4753]

If it had opening doors like on my 760t - I would buy it immediately - it's the best looking case ever.

[@sumikomei]

Thank you very much for this review. ^^ I've been eyeballing this case on the Corsair site for a bit of time and was wanting some more information on it, and now I know very clearly that it won't meet my needs. Definitely a big time saver, thanks again~

[@SuperibyP]

LOVING that ad-spot omg! You make the impossible possible, in that ads are actually fun and interesting to watch! :D

[@TheCAG1976]

This video was certainly helpful! I just bought this case yesterday. I think it was the glass which attracted me to it and it's uniqueness. I feel like it will be fine for me. I do however, worry about the dust build up on the inside, but I may just have to blow it out much often and clean the glass on both sides.

[@TheActualTed]

I love the composition of your videos. Every detail, every reflection. It makes the video original and products alive. Big like for that plant :D

[@fahrikaka]

It's like a bit better version of 460X, but with much higher prices. Come on Corsair, we're not gonna pay $180 only for aesthetics. Great video as always :D

[@ozzy1355]

this case now comes with a cable cutout on the shroud, at least mine did

[@yenkins5086]

Ozzy oh really? Where at? For the bottom of the motherboard? Or you mean a shroud to cover the front of the PSU area?

[@maxplzak2615]

yep its the updated version now everything he said in this video that he didn't like its mostly been fixed the psu shroud is now fully enclosed and the rubber gromit on the shroud for all the front pannel connectors and it seems like they extended up the mounting points for the front radiator cause i fit my h110i in the top with my gskill tridentz just fine

[@Multimeter1]

Best camera work omg! Love your work as always! You are just one of the best

[@WiiamGamer55]

I know this is an old review. To those who are watching in 2020/2021. A lot of complaints he had are fix in current versions of 570x. The power supply is covered and they added a grommet for the bottom of the motherboard cables, it helps a lot with cable management. I got mine at the microcenter.

[@Interrobang212]

That NCIX ad reminded me why my friend from northern Manitoba loves his reference 290x.

[@ChaosLegionaire]

As an update the PSU shroud DOES have a panel to hide the cables now. Guess they heard some of the complaints. So far am loving this case. Good balance between thermals and aesthetics.

[@shshankking]

I was so pumped up to get this... I have 780t for like 12-13 months but after this video, I would wait, many things did seem rushed. .

[@Wistbacka]

Great review, Dimitri! I am sad to see the compromises in this otherwise perfect case. Can you fit a 360 rad in push-pull at the front? And could that be done on the 460x as well?

[@Runslik3Wind]

Yeah i recently bought the 460x and love it I just couldn't see buying a case with a glass backpanel

[@xauthority]

You do beautiful reviews. and amazing choice of music makes a very harmonious review.

[@ydna]

I bought one of these a few weeks ago (from amazon) and it does indeed have a full sheet metal cover for the PSU shroud now. I wonder if they added it after release. Anyway I bought the white version so I ended up making a new cover to hide the black power supply on the exposed side, and I 3d printed some white cable covers to hide wires around the drive bays and bottom of the mobo.

[@kiriakosmois8060]

I just bought the new kraken x52 and the Phanteks Enthoo Evolx Atx Glass Case. Your DAT GLASS scene on the review sold me!!!!Now should i sold the case and buy the 570 in christmas? Is it better in term of spaces inside?

[@kiriakosmois8060]

Thanks for the reply! I bought also the Evga Hybrid Water Cooler for the GTX 1080 so i am going to need that space! It looks really nice though!

[@CJBoy2010]

Recently got this case, it looks stunning. There have been changes to the case since this review, the important one I've noticed is that Corsair added a rubber grommet down in the PSU shroud by the side where the front panel connectors are on the motherboard. This helps clean up the wiring but is still not as necessary a change as closing the PSU shroud.

[@BoostedBill96]

Just a little update since i just built in this case yesterday. They added a rubber grommet to the power supply shroud. If u still use a hard drive (I do) u need a sata cable with 2 flat sides! If u have one with a 90 degree angle u won't be able to put ur glass back on the cable side. ALSO I highly recommend sleeved cables. I used EVGA's cables from their G3 850 and all of their cables are fat so i wasn't able to put the cover back on. Also my last issue with the case (well more corsair) is that u cannot mix and match fans on their lighting node. I had some ML120s that i was bringing from my old case and the case comes with SP120s. If u mix and match only one set of RGB will work. Overall this case is not build friendly. Once u start mixing all of ur RGB controllers it becomes a tangled mess so quick I just stared at the back to figure out how the hell i was going to make it somewhat neat. It's a beautiful case but it's definitely not for me.

[@baristadrifter]

The only thing this case has going for it is the expert review and fluid camerawork. ;)

[@tylerjones2]

Corsair if you ever read this... Please, please, please extend the power supply shroud all the way and place a removable plate at the front for radiators or the third fan. Also place a cable cutout on the shroud for the video card power cable. This case would be absolutely perfect with these fixes.

[@Trinescity]

what would make this case perfect: -3x140mm fans in front and top, --support for thick radiators in top by making case taller -full length, sliding psu shroud -rgb logos

[@mathisb.mp4]

That commerical is sick. I got no problem with chanels gettin sponsored if the ads that cool:D

[@mk55555z]

If actually 2x (!) 20cm fans fit perfectly in the front panel (480x234mm), it's so stupid to design the front panel with 3x 12cm fans instead. Bigger fan - more air flow and less noise. I would only buy this pc case for modding it, making some changes to install 2x 20cm fans in front.

[@WWNSX]

Honestly i would chose the be quiet Darkbase Pro 900 in all black and see if i could order a second tempered glass side panel because i just want the sides to be tempered glass. The worst part of this corsair case is the top and i feel the front and top don't need to have tempered glass but hey i guess having options is okay for those that want more glass

[@Winium]

I don't understand how you can make such high-quality videos when most of the tech reviewers out there seem to just do a single take with a potato.

[@hanyoukimura]

I realize there's compromises VS the 470X, but I LOVE the way the 570X looks. Its absolutely gorgeous and I would be willing to deal with some curious oversights. If my house wasn't such a dust bin I'd be all over this.

[@hazardcobra1227]

I would've hands down bought this case right after I finished the video if it wasn't for the cable rubber grommet issues and radiator fan clearance. I really hope they are going to release a better version soon!

[@INSANEDOMINANCE]

Love the look of this case and its tempered glass with RGB fans included. But the deal breaker is probably the lack of cable management holes above the PSU shroud just doesnt make sense for how clean the rest of the case is.

[@johnanderson2194]

I total agree with the power are and the rad place but in m personal view the 5.25" Drive spoils the look and the SDD are space to route cables which are made worst by the size of the rear back plate are being over size. also if I was to give one suggestion to improve would to all for SDD mount to replace the 5.25" Drive or use a pocket type system to hide the look of them and move the SDD mount up to all for another cable cover. I my personal opinion is that case in should be large in size to have more inside or the concept Coolmaster of module Laertes while their effort of meant well but not without it faults. I would like to say thank you to hardware canucks a lot of what you do is really great in the that you all people like myself normal would be able to see the items you review so please never stop.

[@maeyham4336]

[@danyalreyaz7503]

You know why the back is visible? To show CableMod cables

[@dude5410]

You're RIGHT

[@bogdankp]

I don't know why are visible cables such a "problem" to many pc enthusiasts. I do not think the cables should all be hidden. They are a part of the system guts, and some of them should be visible, especially if they are custom color braided, and well routed. I think they give that cyborg look to a pc, it looks more alive. I like that.

[@gcprost]

I bought one of these cases. Although I am basically happy with this, there is one thing that bugs me: as far as I can tell I cannot turn of the LEDs on the fans at the front of the box. Although I think the lighting is generally attractive, I'm a video editor not a gamer. Lots of times I am working late at night in a dark studio, the lights can be distracting. I understand that I can go into the case and install a switch to disable the LEDs. This is a bit of a hassle and most of the time, I like the LEDs.

[@PaperFc]

Gerald Prost just unplug the sata cable to the fans. The LEDs turn off but the fans keep spinning

[@gcprost]

Thanks!

[@antham2997]

While i do agree with the power supply shroud statement, the clearance for the aio cooler is dependent on your MOBO people dont forget the boards are designed differently, a board like the ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO, or the X99A GAMING PRO CARBON have the ram slots alot lower down which would give plenty of space for the aio cooler. the gigabyte board you have barely leaves room for your fans. the fan controller is garbage and i would choose the new controller they came out with unfortunately that is just additional money you have to spend to software control the rgb's lighting and fan speeds.I see the case as a project to test routing skills and interior design skills. I do see what you are saying and do not disagree with what you state.

[@tolland4433]

I bought this about 4 years ago with a prebuilt and it's a cool case however the cables were done very poorly and rectifying this was and is pretty difficult. Maybe that's the case for a lot of cases tho. One thing I dislike tho is the inbuilt fan options, as I have some other rgb fans connected up to a different controller with better lighting options, creating a colour contrast. I could replace the front fans too however then it feels weird having fan controls in the case that do nothing. Nice video btw.

[@Ai_Falcon]

Do you know how to turn the lights off? and how to control the lights via a software?

[@JonessJack]

dimitri thank you for this awesome and detailed review. keep up your great work

[@ulaganath]

agreed these case wont have 5.25 bay meaning the front is only place for the radiator. . Does block the front air intake. Even a push pull will consume the hdd space. Even many trends to ssd and nvme. it doesnt mean one have to forget the current 3.5hdd . if any case misses on 3.5hdd many will have to skip that case a minmum of 3 hdd is must as most mb is supporting extended 2x m.2 hence

[@johnburke2536]

I would go with a Thermaltake Suppressor F31. Because it's a mid tower that can accommodate everything I need, and it has acoustic panels to further silence the Noctua fans inside. Did I mention I like silence?

[@francesthemutes]

So close but not quite. I'm looking forward to if/when NZXT releases an H440 Tempered glass version.

[@dinokhan403]

Nice vid Dmi-plant. xD. Bought the Evolv ATX TG for my new PC, lovely! Would your recommend this over that?

[@zackduckett8912]

Mounting the rad in front would solve the space problem, and may actually improve thermals. With all that extra space in front it seems like an ideal place.

[@pryda001]

I'd like to see an 570X variant with a solid panel on the reverse side, as I prefer the size and styling on this model over the 460X

[@ineedbigdrink8509]

[@napaextra5954]

[@panosveto5729]

I have this case and is the best and most beautiful case ever bought

[@NagveraOfficial]

Just wanted to add that for some reason that PSU shroud just doesn't look right out of the box and that Corsair actually has acknowledged that people don't like how open it is and they do sell an end cover for the 570x on the Corsair website for around $5. It's not a great solution, I would much rather prefer an extension piece like the one present in the 460x but I suppose this was all that Corsair could do so late on into production. It's not great but its a hell of a lot better

[@fakhrimub6760]

I love the exterior, but I would love to see more radiator space. And considering the space at the top, why don't they made it possible to mount 360rad too? Just add in a lil' bit more length and height and I think it will be perfect.

[@gexp4764]

Too bad I just bought a 400c a few months ago otherwise I would have opted for the full tempered glass! I like the smaller form factor, the removable PSU cover and the cut outs for proper cable management. I hate seeing messy cables when the interior is clearly visible. I hope they update the case for the next release.

[@thomasfisher1829]

I really like the overall architecture of this case, but I think they could've gotten the same look with an aluminum or steel side panel on the cable side, and a psu shroud that actually covers the cables.

[@TrueZtyleZ7]

It's been awhile since I was impressed with a Corsair case. And that was back when the 650D was released.

I bought this case last year, and it is a beautiful case. However, it accumulates dust more than ANY case I've EVER owned, and is in constant need of cleaning.

[@Bangbangthatdrum]

2nd that, lots of gaps around the glass, underneath, and behind. need dust cover kit for back and bottom and foam tape to seal the side glass panels.

[@JohnyKnox]

Are you not running a positive air pressure? You shouldn't have too much dust other than on your intake filters if you do. I just got this case so I guess I'll get to find out how dusty it is for myself.

[@legit0101]

Thought maybe I should have gotten the 570x instead of the 460x, but after seeing this review again, I am happy with my choice.

[@techfin6145]

the S340 beats this in every way, i really feel corsair have stepped back in case design the 400C , 600C , Spec Alpha , Spec M2 were all great cases at there price point these i feel are just made to jump on the LED EVERYTHING craze with most money spent on tempered glass and less on more essential's e.g. PSU shroud and cable management Thanks for reading my rant on the new corsair cases

[@jinwu3262]

Hi Dimitri, if you put another exhaust fan at the end. Doesn't that make this case very negative pressured? I notice that there is a gap between the case itself and the tempered glass on both side which is absolutely not good under negative pressure circumstance. But, if you don't put the exhaust fan, does this case have enough air flow to cool all the components down? Thanks!

[@hardwareinside]

Corsair is really good :D

[@PsychoArtur]

AWESOME prepoll Dimitriy!

[@brienatalie]

Yall they fixed these issues. Covered up the gaping psu hole and they added a hole right near the front panel connectors. Or maybe that's only In the white version? That's the one I bought.
