Corsair Vengeance C70 Case Review

[@TastyPC]

That's good feedback, thanks. The end bit was going to have music but I gave up looking for decent royalty-free music and it had been recorded without sound.

[@theDudeOfDudes]

If I were rich I would hire you to read me bedtime stories. The most relaxing pc case review on youtube, but still in depth and interesting. Good review.

[@flipskaterdave]

if you were rich you wouldnt be hiring her overnight for a story lbh

[@RuslanTuleubekov]

:D exactly

[@matrixmodulator]

well said!

[@MikeZak101]

she pretends to be posh, i can hear a lot of cockney in what she says

[@TastyPC]

They're just parts I wasn't using, or borrowed from other rigs. I mentioned I'd like an Asus Sabertooth mobo in the video. The graphics cards LEDs turn red under use. Thanks for the support.

[@TastyPC]

I've never used an Arc midi, the case in my previous vids is the Arc MINI. In the mini the top cage is removable and the bottom one isn't. however if you really want it removed you could drill the rivets out.

[@TastyPC]

I do test the hardware I review when possible. I tested the fans in the early videos, no point in testing cases as people change the fans anyway, and I couldn't test the PSU or waterblock due to lack of equipment. I'm not getting paid anything to make these videos and money's tight. The website is in the design stages but I just don't see me having time to do written reviews as well. Thanks for giving feedback though, it's always welcomed.

[@TastyPC]

I have a 600T as well. I prefer the C70 but I do miss having the huge space behind the mobo for cables that the 600T gives you because of it's curved side panels.

[@TastyPC]

I hadn't noticed he had uploaded a review. I've been waiting to see if he agreed with my thoughts. I agree with you completely, the only reason I felt I had to justify my opinion is because I'm new to reviewing.

[@dhenryrmu]

I bought my C70 Q3 of last year. When I was researching cases, I came across this vid which is what clenched it for me. You are very informative and thorough. So, thank you!!

[@TastyPC]

Agreed, but I don't get to choose the components I use in each build. I have to make-do with what I already have. I only had a single red LED strip so that's what I used. I asked for red cables as the theme I use most is black/red so they were the best to have. The green C70 would look amazing with a black/green theme though.

[@TastyPC]

That's good feedback. The end bit was just a little extra that I thought I'd show after of the review.

[@bangyahead1]

I also like the fact that you showed the H100 fitting cleanly inside it, which is another part I've planned on for the upcoming build. Thx again mate.

[@stromgol8888]

Corsair are very solid when you talk about design and cable management.I just bought a 600t and all my friend are very impressed when they see it. Good review !

[@TastyPC]

The window is very easy to replace but I hope they bring out different side panel options.

[@bangyahead1]

This is by far your best review. You are relaxed and quiet with none of that high pitched "looking at the" which grates on my nerves. Use phrases like "here we see the" Youre getting better. Keep up the good work.

[@svarvark]

Saw one of your videos for the first time and got so suprised by the quality that i went and watched all of your videos and subscribed soon after. I think they are all of very very good, but the thing that strikes me the most is seeing and hearing the change in your confidence and how comfortable you have become infront of the camera in just so few videos. I think you are a realy great reviewer and if you keep being yourself and honest i think you have a great future:) keep up the good work!

[@teefuses]

I would listen to you talk about anything. You manage to make everything interesting.

[@Aeros802]

It should be noted that this case is modeled after a military weapons canister, hence the military green color. I have this case with an Asus Sabertooth 990 FX which is a perfect match. The sabertooth is colored in military colors as well and military graded components along with a certification warranty unique to it for long lasting. Looks amazing.

[@MrYendor65]

I got the Sabertooth 990 fx 2.0 as well and I just wish I had this case to go with it!

[@husky3g]

@@MrYendor65 Here in 2024. I rocked the Sabertooth 990 FX 2.0 until 2017 when a friend gave me his old 4770K to go in my desktop and the motherboard with it. It was a decent mid-range system in 2012, but it did not hold up well. It's one of the many reasons I abandoned AMD after 2017 and still have not bought an AMD product since. They are miles better in the CPU space now than they were in 2012 and 2013 but sadly AMD promised better CPUs and support for AM3+ and never delivered. All they gave us were the 9590 and the 9370 which were just severely overclocked and high TDP 8350s. They still struggled to match Intel's single-threaded performance in 2013. The Sabertooth 990 FX was a $250 motherboard when I purchased it. Money that could have been better spent on a basic ATX Intel board for $70 and a 4790K instead of the 8350 and the Sabertooth. I am still feeling burned because I was stuck with that build for half a decade and the CPU really struggled to perform a lot of basic tasks and was a massive disappointment in CPU intensive games, performance wise because back then, most games were still only using 1-2 cores, so actual IPC was what was important and not core count and it's why Intel was beating AMD to death in the CPU market until they released Ryzen which still took some time to catch on.

[@k_lead3244]

You the only reviewer that covered the two un-grommeted water cooling holes. Great job on the review!

[@johnny64j]

thanks lauren you are a breath of fresh air,iam hunting the best info on parts for my new pc love your honesty i think i have watched all your vids and came away a bit more educated we need more people like you keep it up

[@ran4df]

This is your best review to date, you seem a lot more relaxed and confident keep up the great work

[@TastyPC]

Yes, I'll review it, should be up within the next week. Yes I recommend it :) Thanks for the sub.

[@davidminor1254]

To me this is still one of the best Corsair cases made even though there are downsides to it. Back then in 2012 however I went with the TT Level10 GTS due to size constraints.

[@TastyPC]

The C70 doesn't fit a 360 in the roof without modiing. The top grill isn't wide enough. It is possible to mod a H100i/H80i pump and people have done it, but personally it's not worth the hassle. Go for a Swiftech H220 pump/block for that sort of thing.

[@wdbaudio]

I really liked this review and its nice to see you grow more and more confident as you do these reviews :) I love the shots at the end showing the finished rig - are the graphics cards asus matrix gtx580s? I really like their glowing logos :D Keep up the great work!

[@TastyPC]

Takes time, I don't have anything exciting to review at the moment. I've got a few small videos semi-filmed, so I should have something uploaded soon.

[@4thNebula]

Love the red individually braided cables with the army green case. Thank you Corsiar for excellent ventallation out the rear!

[@TastyPC]

It's just a case review. I didn't use the rig like that. I was just showing what would fit in the case. :)

[@TastyPC]

I've moved from the Corsair 800D to the Vengeance C70. I don't own a Arc Midi. My rigs will be explained in an upcoming subscriber video :)

[@TastyPC]

I asked them, they said they have no plans at this time. However they did say that it's very easy to mod.

[@gulllars]

I really liked this review. You seem to be amongst the best video case reviewers on youtube. I loved how you went through the case methodically and got all the design features, and stated your oppinion on them and how they were implemented. A suggestion for improvement in later case reviews would possibly be to detatch all removable parts and talk a bit about what you think of it then. The example here would be removing the lower 3,5" drive cage (or possibly both), and test with a small PSU too.

[@milkydromida2512]

Just a quick thanks for the review. I bought one today and are totally thrilled with it. Funny intro to video -- You had become the Queen of PC Fans, so this was a welcome change...

[@jonshadow4052]

Got this case a few days ago, nice case very happy with it. Good review x

[@SCARSAC]

that is an awesome case and it does deserve a 5 star and the cable management at the back looks just fine! and i am new to your channel and i really like you, and you are very through and you have great tech knowledge

[@Christosan88]

This is my first pc build ever and when i saw this case and i fell in love with it much like your videos. And coincidentally my build with an amd phenom 2 black edition 3.7 with the asus sabertooth 990x, grouped with crucial ballistix ram its the perfect build for a military enthusiast or bf3 player. Best of luck to you and your page!

[@TastyPC]

I've been into PCs for about 3 years :) I've heard good things about MNPCTECH but I live in the UK so I can't say for sure.

[@gordonbrown7290]

Thaks for making this vid I To see on how it looks before, and after cause, I really, really Want this Pc case

[@TheDeadFormat]

I bought this case after your review. I actually care about my components now, after watching your videos. I must admit, as a person who initially watched one of your videos only because there was a pretty girl in it, I found them to be very informative and helpful. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

[@bdfun1]

Best review yet. Keep up the great work and maybe you could do a review with some benchmarks on your build.

[@TeslaRifle]

Great review. I really love the "ammo can" styling Corsair did with this case, this video review caught me completely by surprise.

[@SheepInACart]

Its good to see somebody that seems to actually use and understand the products they review rather than just more unboxing and "I think this may allow you too.." style comments, good video. On a slightly darker note its a bit of a shame the audio isn't better quality, it seems to be a bit "boomy" and max out at times, so your probably either talking to quietly or to far from the microphone (lower frequencies carry better, hence to close is wind noise, to far is to louder low frequencies).

[@gulllars]

Also, i like your commentary on design and style. I'm more of a function over looks type of guy (hence my HAF-X), but i like to hear the style perspective of cases too, and not too many reviewers go into that beyond superficial esthetics. I also liked how you went a bit deeper into the looks of the fans when you reviewed them. I think a segment on style and design in reviews can be something that separates you in a positive way from other reviewers. (but still with substance in the reviews ofc)

[@snozbucket]

Thanks for the awesome review, I've been hunting everywhere to see if there was a space in the front panel for an intake fan, be surprised how many reviews didn't say that. Cheers.

[@Anothy]

I'm about to buy the same colour case. I'm glad someone else likes this case. All I seem to read is negativity regarding the look of the case. I quite like it how it looks. Thanks for the review.

[@Alexis_Mos]

Nice video Lauren... What colour should i choose for the fans with this military look case? red or sth else?

[@Jez1963UK]

I was really hoping to learn how noisey the pc would be, so I was disappointed that for that part of the review, you switched the sound off ! Subscribed anyway an well done, you are a great reviewer so no need to keep putting yourself down

[@basscadet75]

Any PC is going to be as noisy or as quiet as you make it depending on the fans. Noise is kind of a BS benchmark for cases; just use quiet fans, or fewer of them. If you're a huge OCer or you're running 4 graphics cards (which you can do in this case), then your rig is going to be loud. So I understand why she turned the sound off.

[@CustomComputing]

wow, I thought the case was hideous, until you had it with all the cables and the red lights glowing. The case is a 5/10 and your cable management is about a 8.5-9! the colouring of red LED's and the red with the camo ended up being a great Idea! you have amazing taste and good work on your first case review! you really need to review other companies soon, corsair is decent, but would like to see others

[@joshuaszeto]

Thanks for the review. I didn't even know such an ammo can-ish case existed. I think I might need to buy one now. I do wish they had a plain side panel without the window though.

[@TastyPC]

The cables I'm using are not custom sleeved. They are made by Corsair, and are fantastic quality. :)

[@rabellogp]

I'm in love with this case! That's a great military style (the reset button cold be the power one, just for the pleasure of opening that little cover every time =P). You did a perfect job in your system. Those red cables and brown fans are just perfect with this case! And congratulations for your nice reviews!

[@harbscantina]

Extremely nice setup - I'm putting mine together now and have basically gone for the same colour scheme you have with the cabling :) Great review btw.

[@secpendragon9760]

Absolutely gorgeous case. Love the military green and the ammo box design. Love the review, thanks so much!

[@BeyondParadise808]

Thank you for the review. Especially about the length of the PSU mattering if someone wants to install another fan or radiator. First review that I saw mentioned this. I'm glad you mentioned it because some of us liquid cool both the cpu and graphics cards. Two thumbs up for the review!

[@quistan2]

Im a new subscriber to your channel. I found you in pursuit of building my own Rosewill mid-tower blackhawk rig, which I am chronicling. I seen this case at my local PC store and instantly fell in love. Solid review, I know its an older vid but thanks. Next build will be with this case, many other good cases out there but I just love the aesthetics of this one too much.

[@coldlettersofficial]

I would like to see more reviews on other components. (like this one) Keep on doing your fan comparisons but I think we all want to see more than that.

[@YasumotoUS]

Feedback: your use of depth-of-field with the final footage definitely gave the photography a higher-end feel. Nice.

[@SimplyAngelov]

Good stuff! You're a unique hardware reviewer. Most women in tech videos are just posing, looking pretty and reading stuff they don't quite understand off of some screen or a piece of paper. Seeing you tinkering with this case is really refreshing and enjoyable and here's my suggestion - do some hardware installing on camera and don't be afraid to improvise and show your personality. Guys will love you and their girlfriends will hate you (which is a good sign :-) )! Keep the reviews coming!

[@sedgleyathome]

Nice one as I just brought myself a new BitFenix Shinobi XL Case and overclocked Intel i7 2700K @ 5GHz at 1.36v and it a good case. Your video review is really good - keep it up the great work. Shame I cannot see your overclocking temperature monitor like running prime95 stress test for all of us to see it and also the case temperature too.

[@thinkforaminute]

Nicely done review! Not a fan of the style of this particular case but I love the removable dust filters and the cable clamps. Did you notice any noise (vibration or rattling) from the filters when the fans were on?

[@ArcadePC]

Great review Lauren! It's okay to make mistakes, we are only human. Keep the great reviews coming! Happy Holidays to you!

[@ren642653]

Finally you have more videos, I was waiting to see what you were going to do next, and good review

[@Arteolike]

Your video's are one of the best on You-Tube regarding computer parts reviews, obviously your in your starting stages so reviewing three and four hundred dollar parts is rather difficult for you, but your video's are so professionally done and presented. Get ready cause your gonna get big on You-Tube soon, and I'm not just saying that because your one of the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. I'm given you a sub

[@runningman6371]

Very good review. Keep up the good work. I have a few suggestions for the future. 1.Explain, and show all the extras that come with the case.Its nice to know what's included. 2.You should also show taking the front panel off, so people can see if its a real pain or not. This is a review. Good or bad, it all counts.The front panel does not come off without both side panels removed.This might be a deal breaker for certain people.

[@DanteBrisingr]

Video looks great and the case is epic.only recomendation is that you go through basic parts faster like drive mounts,etc

[@TastyPC]

He's a legend, 5 gold stars :)

[@ZAngryGerman]

Good review, covered most of the bases very well. Would have liked to see some double checking on the spacing between the fan mount holes for the 140mm fans to see if they fit the standard radiator spacing before claiming a 2x140mm rad would fit, as they looked like they may have been different spacing from the 120mm. Keep it up, look forward to the next video!

[@TastyPC]

ooooooo!!!! Nice!! There a lot cheaper then I thought they'd be as well. I might get some for my AX750 in the Arc Mini

[@litsmoderngaming]

7:36 the only instance i see a cream n choco Noctua fan match aesthetically with the rest of the computer

[@HackerL96]

So cute the old Lauren :)

[@TastyPC]

How would plexiglass give him a plain side panel without a window?? It would look horrible.

[@Feathez]

So roughly 18 Lbs. Thank you for that, Pretty slick case and will take a look at it for a future build.

[@MrCh1cken]

Just found the channel. I don't know how this case was not on my radar back then. I was running SLI, two optical drives, and a four HD RAID setup. Totally outdated for today with NVME SSD's, fast high capacity USB drives and online video content. Anyway, your build looks a lot better than my rig did ten years ago.

[@snoozinglion8596]

Excellent review! Very thorough and concise... I'm looking at cases right now and this has been very helpful. Kudos ;)

[@DahSkada]

Im gonna get 2 more 120mm fans for the front (push/pull) for better ventilation in the case and also better hard drive cooling. The side panel gets a clear acryllic or plexi. should be pretty easy to do.

[@TastyPC]

You could probably contact corsair and ask/buy a replacement rear side panel. Then you'd have a plain panel on both sides ;)

[@MikeIllusion92]

Excellent review! All the information I was after in a pretty short video in comparison to other reviewers.

[@mackuss]

Great review! Love the honesty. Looking forward to more!

[@MattiasKullberg]

Nice review, You said your old case was a 800D, What would you say are the pros and cons when comparing this new one with your old case.

[@ImToMainstream]

Yes they do have them in i just pre-ordered some for my AX1200 no ETA as of yet but for £60 you cant fall off

[@FLEAISTHEGODOFBASS]

Hey Lauren great review , keep up the good work , may i ask , will a noctua NH-D14 fit this case with fans on the side panel? I suppose it will fit like no problem without fans.

[@hk0O7]

Very complete review, well explained, and the camera is excellent!

[@Feathez]

I am curious how heavy is the case empty and the weight with your current set up inside? Great review keep up the great work!

[@TastyPC]

Slick does not suck, take that back, slick is awesome :)

[@Rancho.Jimenez]

Who makes that fan controller? This case came out clean so did the Review

[@evolutionpr]

There is something different today, you seem really happy. :) It is good to see a change in your facial expression while watching your videos, it makes them that much better. :)

[@Gdeft]

What is that fan display on the front of the case. Looks slick. Happy to see your review a case now :).

[@sallydefyindsky9806]

Nice review and I love that case. I'm not a big fan of the holes in the side window but I saw where you could replace it with a solid window.

[@bangyahead1]

Excellent review. Thank you. I had been comsidering this case for an upcoming build and you helped make my mind up. I want it. I will go the black one though.

[@mrmonsterapple]

Can you go over how much the case weighs with and without a full build? I would like to know especially since this case has handles. Metric and imperial units please. Keep up the videos. Very informative! Thanks.

[@TastyPC]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@dtfr69]

might i recommend adding that the majority of builders don't like the mesh style window. it is easily changeable to a solid piece of plexiglass. the window is just held in by screws that screw into the plastic black bezel on the outside of the case. so it really is a easy fix. Oh and you cable management is better than most i have seen. keep up the good work. PS i am trying to get into doing reviews. i also watch every review from as many reviewers as i can on an item to be completely informed on the product before buying. Again GREAT JOB on your first case review.

[@MrTwisted003]

You did a great job, much improved :) I have to agree with the side panel...the whole point imo is to see inside. Especially as many fan options there already are. I wonder how this would look in an all black scheme with the green... How to see more sooonnnn =D

[@TooleralusAEnima]

I like the color too since I'm going for the military green color theme for my first build. What I'm disappointed about is more about the size and overall look of the case. I'm thinking about having my case painted to military green since Sabertooth 990fx is sort of the same color theme. won't go into more detail since this will be my custom build

[@ForkKingGovi]

I have this case in white and so far I have only found two problems with it, first is the dust filters at the bottom are really loose, they come out so easily. The other is the power and reset buttons, it takes a decent amount of force to actually press them, not enough that it's difficult, but its a lot more than it should be to press a button. Other than that, it's an amazing case, so glad I got it.

[@hanstollo]

Hey, just stumbled upon your channel looking for info about this case. Great Review! How long have you been building PCs? I think your Rig looks great. I'm about to transition from an X58 platform to an X79 Build. Like everyone else who is looking into this case, I'll be pairing it with an Asus Sabertooth board and green corsair ram. Trying to find a good company in the U.S. to do a custom paint job. Any recommendations? Thanks again for the info and keep it up!

[@mcasuse]

Wow That is an amazing build! The case is sweet! I wish it had the room for a push/pull on the H100 that is a deal breaker for me.

[@LutherLeonard1]

I love this case look and upgraded to an i5 12600k with an 3080 it works great. Keep the videos coming. Cheers!

[@HackAttackx10]

Solid build, nice review, I would like to mention that during the video I heard a ton of noises, almost like there was sticking or water noises while you were talking. Just wanted to bring that to your attention because it was really distracting during the video. Thanks

[@utgcwcg565]

I really like this case...good video btw, i just suscribed. I honnestly think you are very good at this reviewing thing, nice channel we have here!

[@Vonklieve]

But, finally, five out of ten for effort and being able to do these videos. You are far braver then I.

[@1962moe]

best review I have seen on the c70 case I bought !! also you are very beautiful and that lovely brit accent just make the review that much nicer to watch
