Corsair Carbide 275Q review - Product showcase – exterior

Both of the side panels are made of steel. We’d like to remind you of the basic specs here. The body is black, which is the most universal color. At 460mm x 211mm x 455mm (L x W x H)/ 18.11 in x 8.3 in x 17.91 in, the size is a bit below the average for today’s standards. The following motherboard form factors are supported:

• ATX,
• M-ATX,
• Mini-ITX

The chassis is very stable (despite the fact that it’s quite light), and the side panels are secured by the thumbscrews. When you look at the top (from the front), you will see a cutout for incoming air at the bottom of the front panel.

At the back, you can see a similar approach. The design is focused primarily on silence, and the rear fan mount allows for some height adjustment. 

The manufacturer includes two 120mm PWM fans. Corsair doesn’t provide any information about the fans on the product page, but the maximum rpm is 1300.

We can see 7 horizontal and 2 vertical expansion slots, so in a traditional (horizontal) setup it’s possible to have dual-slot cards in Crossfire or SLI mode. The PSU bracket is not removable. It’s a pity because it would have made it easier to install a unit. The rear fan mount is not fixed, so it is possible to adjust the 120mm fan/radiator mounting height.

 When you look at the bottom section, you’ll find feet that have been rubberized to prevent unwanted movement of the chassis on the floor. The provided dust filter covers the PSU area. It’s easily removable (pulled to the back) for maintenance. It also allows the PSU to catch a breath. 

You'll find a standard I/O panel on the top (like in most cases nowadays). It consists of a standard set of two USB 3.0 ports, reset and power buttons, and audio jacks. The top part doesn’t contain any ventilation mesh in the standard setup (there’s a removable cover that allows you to change this situation, but we’ll talk about it later). Let’s continue to the next page.
