Corsair Crystal Series 280X review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/04/2018 02:00 PM [ 24 comment(s) ]

We review a new dual-chamber chassis from Corsair, it is the Corsair Crystal Series 280X. Based on the popular Air 240 this is a small mini ITX and Micro ATX form factor chassis that will not just house the smallest, but also the biggest stuff inside your computer. A high-end graphics card and liquid cooling? It is all not an issue, next to that you can now add three tempered glass panels and the options for RGB fans with an included Commanded series RGB fan control that you can control with your iCUE software suite.

Looks amazing, with a nice form factor.

I notice a distinct lack of thermal performance testing in most of Guru3d's latest case reviews. Why is that?
I'm going to assume that front panel restricts a lot of airflow, so I hoped to get that info here.

Looks great! One question though, why are mATX mobos more expensive than ATX mobos? Less material and components right?

ITX is a form factor that sells in way fewer quantities compared to ATX. Smaller batches are more expensive to fab, and that drive prices up. Well, that and once something is a bit more exclusive, they know exactly where to find that hard earned cash of yours
