Cooler Master HAF-X review

Check that out, at the back we can get a good overall look at some other oddities, clearly visible, at the top we see grommet holes for liquid cooling loops, the third hole is actually intended to be used for USB 3.0 connector leads, you can not mount these internally to the motherboard (current motherboards do not support this). Below it we can spot a massive 140mm exhaust fan.

The HAF X has 9 expansion slots, this will allow you to go for quad SLI and quad Crossfire X configurations, no matter the board type, it will fit. To the right of the expansion slots there you can see a small slot for mounting the GPU support bracket. And to the right of that, a large vent area.

At the bottom we see space for the power supply, make sure you have a PSU with nice lengthy cabling as you have a lot of ground to cover with the HAF-X alright.

The left side panel has a see though panel, and mounted to the lower left you can see a huge fan mounted. We'll discuss that one in a second when we take an inside look. But basically that is a 200mm side fan for cooling components like video cards and motherboard.

The bottom of the chassis has four rubber mounts, this helps the chassis from resonating and thus prevents the chassis from making noise. Alternatively you can mount (supplied) four wheels for a slightly more mobile PC. Due to the size and weight of the entire PC, we certainly can recommend installing these wheels, very handy. Also have a look at that huge mesh for the power supply.

The top of the chassis can hold two massive 200mm fans. The top of the case has two large open mesh vents with screens. There is a dust filter under there. The front and top bezels on the HAF X are ABS plastic with mesh covers that use an internal clipping system to lock the bezels to the chassis.
