- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2024Style Name: AirflowSize Name: 6500DColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseI previously built my last PC in the Corsair 540 Carbide (the grandfather to this case). Such a good case I kept it around for 9 years.
But time and wear and tear decided it was time for a new case.
It's not a perfect case for everyone. It is for me (wouldn't have 5 starred it otherwise) but I can see where some people would have issues.
I like to completely air cool, no AIOs, no water loops and for that this case is perfect. Needed to have space for a noctua nh-d15 and keep a 7800XD and a 4090 cool. It does...nicely. I've yet to beat 70 degrees under heavy load but of course I have 13 fans running as well. It also had to fit a specific dimension for where the case was going. Any taller or deeper and it wouldnt have worked.
It's a great case "IF" you only want to air cool and you couldn't care less about RGB. Of course you can buy new parts and swap them out on the case so it looks different (such as a glass panel for the front) but then why not choose to buy that or a similar case like the lian li evo to begin with.
If the case has a problem (and it does if I'm honest) its that Corsair tried to hard to cover every base for options they actually dropped the ball a bit and made it a bit bad to cover all those options. But as a pure air-cooled case (which is exactly what I wanted) within a dimension threshold it was the ONLY case to do the job.
So yeah. great case...for me. May not be for others.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2019Style Name: Tempered GlassSize Name: 680X RGBColour Name: WhiteVerified PurchaseThe corsair crystal 680x is one of the best cases I've ever laid my hands on, it's the definition of an overkill enthusiast case & the price shows it.
If you dont mind paying the premium for corsair products ( trust me I don't! ) then the 680x is the way to go, its covered in tempered glass and RGB and just screams quality. The included fans are quiet, bright & all cable managed into a controller that plugs into your RGB controller module.
The case is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be, being nearly twice as wide as my old NZXT s340 so having a lot of room under or on your desk is kind of essential.
So apart from being super high quality and having a lot of RGB what else does the 680 have to offer? Well with cable management slots in abundance it's hard for your system not to look super clean and organized.
There is plenty of space and mounts for fans / watercooling radiators & even a slot to vertically mount your GPU ( though I would of really liked to of seen a corsair vertical GPU riser included with the case to make use of the vertical slot, considering this is one of the more premium cases on the market).
So my overall opinion is that this is a fantastic case, it's super easy to build in, looks flashy & has a premium feel too it, it really does show off your build. The drawbacks to the case are quite minimal, being that it's a lot larger than first anticipated ( though this isnt necessarily a drawback ) & I would of like to of seen more RGB fans included ( to fill all the fan slots ) and a vertical GPU mount, though what you get for the price is already quite good. I'd advise anyone in the market for a flashy premium case to buy the 680x!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2022Style Name: Tempered GlassSize Name: 680X RGBColour Name: WhiteVerified PurchaseDon't listen to the amateur reviewers and guessers, THIS is the review you need, from a professional having just tested it for 24 hours:
The Great:
It's a GORGEOUS case! The glass panels are silky, the white finish is smoother than a chocolate bar ad.
The design is clearly engineered by techincians. Everything is where it should be and everything is easy to disassemble and reassemble, from magnetised filter strips to the pull-out filter tray at the bottom.
The Good:
Every component in existence WILL fit inside this case, but it will take some creative engineering on your part if you have a 3-fan AIO (cpu water cooler) and a 3-fan GPU (graphics card).
I've included pictures of my first boot to illustrate the GPU is best fitted vertically (you will need a GPU extension cable, the case does not include one) and the 3-fan water cooler radiator & fans must be fitted to the front of the case (as per seller's diagram).
My GPU is an Asus Geforce RTX 3080 and my water cooler rad is a Gammaxx L360. As you can see, the air flow isn't compromised and my CPU doesn't exceed 56 degrees C while tested on high-end game running.
The case isn't heavy or awkward, despite it's size.
The extra screws and cable-ties are plentiful and good quality, despite what others have said.
The Corsair RGB fans and controller are high end products and produce lovely displays, much more advanced than standard 4 or 3 pin RGB controllers. There are 3 empty sockets for 3 more fans (or devices) on the existing and there is an expansion socket for a second controller if needed (allowing for 12 devices in total).
There's 3 brackets for the old 3.5in size hard drive and 4 for 2.5in hard drives. I managed to remove the 3.5in drive holding bracket and separated the 2.5in bracket for use on its own. Again - creative engineering required!
The Bad... Yes, there's some bad, alas...
You will be paying at least £90 of the case price just for the 3 Corsair RGB fans and controller units. If there was an option to buy without, I would have taken it as I have plentiful cheaper RGB fans I could have used. This case felt totally that Corsair are finding ways of promoting / forcing out their controllers and iCue software solutions to customers who want RGB. I like to choose, personally.
Depsite the case coming with 3 RGB fans and 1 standard exhaust fan, there was no power splitters or options provided with the case. Each fan, effectively, had no means to its own power source or switch. I wasn't so much concerned with the exhaust fan, easily fitting to the MB 'Sys Fan' power pins, but nothing for the pretty fans at the front? Come on Corsair! What cost is a 3 pin fan power splitter or independent speed switch on the case somewhere?
My last niggle is that there's no support for vertical graphics cards, despite there being two vertical PCI slots to encourage it. There's plenty of support for the Power Supply Unit in the closed portion of the case, so why not an optional bracket just to keep the Graphics card in place? I've installed it as Corsair have intended me to, and the sway of the graphics card is a concern, even knocking a little on the glass panel side as I moved it. Again, for the money paid, it would have been pennies for a screw-in bracket to fit from the base to allow the card to rest...
To conclude:
It's a 4 star, close to perfect (but not quite there) case with an awful lot going for it - but as you would expect at this price.
Be ready to fork out some more £££.
You will need a fan power splitter / controller / switch.
If you've got a 3 fan graphics card and 3 fan AIO CPU water cooler, you will need both a PCI-e extension cable and some sort of additional support bracket for the card. If you fit it horizontally, air flow will be compromised that close to the water cooler rad and anything longer than my Asus TUF RTX 3080 won't fit horizontally at all.
If you've already got more Corsair RGB fans, great - you've got space to add them on this case. If not, get ready for a mis-match mixture of rainbow skittles that might make you turn all the RGB off to admire the dark instead!
Happy Case Hunting!

I've installed it as Corsair have intended me to, and the sway of the graphics card is a concern, even knocking a little on the glass panel side as I moved it. Again, for the money paid, it would have been pennies for a screw-in bracket to fit from the base to allow the card to rest...
To conclude:
It's a 4 star, close to perfect (but not quite there) case with an awful lot going for it - but as you would expect at this price.
Be ready to fork out some more £££.
You will need a fan power splitter / controller / switch.
If you've got a 3 fan graphics card and 3 fan AIO CPU water cooler, you will need both a PCI-e extension cable and some sort of additional support bracket for the card. If you fit it horizontally, air flow will be compromised that close to the water cooler rad and anything longer than my Asus TUF RTX 3080 won't fit horizontally at all.
If you've already got more Corsair RGB fans, great - you've got space to add them on this case. If not, get ready for a mis-match mixture of rainbow skittles that might make you turn all the RGB off to admire the dark instead!
Happy Case Hunting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best case I have ever owned.
Style Name: Tempered GlassSize Name: 6500XColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseI have been building my own computers, just as a hobbyist, since the early 90s. This is the best case I have ever installed in...and the panoramic glass, PLUS the airflow to compensate for the glass panels, is perfect for me. It has two compartments, and again GREAT airflow. It can handle larger/longer video cards that caused problems in my last corsair case (Corsair Crystal 680X). I have 6 120mm fans, plus 3 120mm fans on a top mounted 360mm radiator (Arctic III), and a 140mm fan for exhaust out the back, for a total of 10 fans, and next to zero noise out of the case (Corsair SP and LL fans).
I love this thing, it is a joy to work with...and I picked it up on sale for approx $150. Great price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Case!
Style Name: AirflowSize Name: 6500DColour Name: WhiteVerified PurchaseIn my opinion the build quality is pretty well on this case. Obviously individual parts taken of this case may seem bendy/flexible because they are ment to work together so I’m tired of seeing complaints about that. This case is extremely heavy with a full pc in it so I couldn’t imagine Corsair making the panels any thicker. This whole build was to swap my all black pc into a lighter case and step outside of my comfort zone. This is definitely a wide boi compared to my Obsidian 500D. I got some cables from cable mod to tie in the color contrast and used both black and white fans to give a certain look. This pc case is built with icue link in mind but cable management wasn’t too bad with my dinosaur wiring routed everywhere. I tried a few configurations with the case and finally opted for the glass panel on the front. Check out the other pictures to see what the black panels looked like with the white case. If Corsair sold black feet separate I would’ve kept that look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Completamente la pena
Style Name: AirflowSize Name: 6500DColour Name: WhiteVerified PurchaseSi estás dudando en comprar este gabinete espero resolver tus dudas comentando que es lo mejor que he visto. Es precioso, se nota de alta calidad y no decepciona en ningún aspecto. Me decidí sobre este modelo sobre el 6500x por que no soy fan de los paneles de cristal en el frente y lo siento poco práctico, y este modelo es super versátil aparte de precioso.
