PC Case Review: Corsair iCUE LINK 6500X RGB Mid-Tower ATX Dual Chamber - Black
The time has come for the next generation cases. I chose the Corsair 6500X RGB Mid Tower ATX Dual Chamber PC Case. This allows for having a clean look while maximizing air flow for the PC. The case has plenty of room for fans and AIO water cooled radiators.
I purchased additional fans: 1 RX140 RGB (140mm) for the rear airflow to exit the case. 3 RX140 RGB (140mm) for the airflow to enter the case from the bottom. The reason being air is cooler at the bottom of the case as hot air rises. The radiator that cools the CPU should be located at the top of the case to let the hot air exit the case. The radiator should also be located at the top of the case, because air bubbles should be able to rise. You don't want air bubbles to accumulate at the CPU level.
The only criticism I have for this case is that the buttons and ports are located at the top of the case. This allows dust to accumulate which is not good if you want to use those ports. I have simple put some electrical tape over those ports to keep them clean.
