Corsair Crystal Series 680X PC Chassis
All your base are belong to us Corsair

Heck yeah, meet the Corsair Crystal 680X RGB PC chassis, which we review. The Crystal series has been a favorite of ours, spacious, dual chambers and fantastic looks can be achieved with it. In the year 2019, of course, a chassis needs a bit of brain and, as such, Corsair added an RGB Node for you to control the included RGB fans with their proprietary iCUE software suite. By doing so they are offering a chassis designed for ease of use, fantastic cable management, good storage options, and downright terrific looks as the side, top and front panels have been fitted with tempered glass. 

I think it is fair to state that Corsair went far-out with this one, you will notice tempered glass to the left, front and top as well. Combined with three RGB configurable fans (LL120 RGB) you tag any color design that suits you the best as an RGB lighting controller is housed inside the chassis as well. Then the chassis interior; well, spacious and airflow are two things that come to mind next to a rather exquisite look, feel and design. 

 

 

The Corsair Crystal is all about visuals with all that glass and, as such, every segment has been designed to hide away the nasty stuff. Cable management on the right side was a challenge for one, but as you are about to find out they solved that in a simple and effective manner by making use of a dual-chamber design. Corsair also hides the HDD and SSD mounts inside that second chamber at the right side (behind the motherboard). Your power supply is nicely covered up there as well. You will spot many grommet holes with rubber inserts and an all-black interior, including dark cables and connectors. This mid-tower sized chassis can house mini-ITX, micro ATX, ATX but now E-ATX form factor motherboards as well. You may mount four SSDs at the back side and three HDDs (alternatively two SSDs) in the slide-in tray located at the motherboard side of the chassis. At the front, you will spot USB 3.0 (x2), USB 3.1 Type C (x1) and 3.5 mm HD audio jacks.

The 680X comes pre-fitted with 3x LL20 RGB fans for improved aesthetics. Extensive air and water cooling options are included as you may install up to 8x 120mm or 7x 140mm fans for proper cooling potential, with room to mount up to four radiators – including one 360mm. It's also equipped with magnetic dust filters on all intake fans which allows for easy building and maintenance. 

 

Material Metal ABS / Plastic / Tempered Glass
Internal Drive Bay 3.5" x3 / 2.5" x4               
M/B Form Factor E-ATX / ATX / Micro-ATX / Mini-ITX  
Power Supply ATX 12V, PSII Size and EPS up to 225 mm
I/O Port USB 3.0 x2, USB 3.1 Type C x1 HD Audio
Expansion Slot PCI-E Slot 8+2
Supports High-End Graphic Card up to 330 mm
Dimension (HxWxD) 423mm x 344mm x 505mm

 
Anyway, have a peek at the chassis, and yeah... due to that lovely, yet reflective tempered glass, photos in this review are a bit of a challenge, but we're sure you'll get the idea. Have a peek at the Corsair Crystal 680X and then head onwards to the next page please.

Corsair K70 PRO RGB keyboard review
The Corsair K70 RGB Pro keyboard is the one we’re reviewing today. It’s not the first one from the K70 series checked on guru3d. Previously those were K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, also in a low-profile version, and as a TKL, so overall, there shouldn’t be any significant surprise as far as the general concept goes. Corsair K70 RGB Pro takes some K100 RGB and (most of) K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION (already mentioned) features. The suffix “Pro” wasn’t used yet, so probably it was the right time for that.
