Earlier this month, CORSAIR released the new 7000 series full-tower chassis, featuring strong cooling performance, especially suitable for building top-level water-cooled game consoles. Recently, the iCUE 7000X RGB in the new 7000 series came to the evaluation room of the computer newspaper. Next, let us find out what makes this chassis stand out.

Simple shape with 3-sided tempered glass, perfect lighting effect display box

The new 7000 series has two versions, 7000D AIRFLOW and iCUE 7000X RGB, both in black and white. The difference between the two is that the front panel of the 7000D AIRFLOW uses a hollow front panel to strengthen the air intake, which can bring better heat dissipation performance. This product is more suitable for players who pursue the ultimate heat dissipation performance. The iCUE 7000X RGB black version tested this time is characterized by the use of tempered glass on the top, front and sides, which can well display the hardware inside the chassis. If equipped with hardware with lighting effects and RGB fans, the entire chassis will immediately become a perfect lighting effect display box, with better visual effects and more suitable for those players who pursue "light pollution".

In terms of appearance design, the iCUE 7000X RGB adopts a minimalist style, with a square body and no decoration of shapes and lines. The appearance of the entire chassis gives a simple yet powerful feeling, full of toughness. At the same time, the flat panel of the fuselage and the power cover with side windows are also convenient for users to install MOD kits and paste customized stickers on it, allowing users to fully develop their creativity and further enhance the personality index of the entire chassis appearance.

The chassis provides a wealth of interfaces including 4 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 3.1 Type-C port, and 1 headphone/microphone integrated port. At the same time, all the interfaces and buttons of iCUE 7000X RGB are located on the top of the chassis, which is very convenient to use.

Large internal space brings super hardware compatibility

When it comes to a full-tower case, the first thing that many people think of is its wide interior space, and the iCUE 7000X RGB is no exception. The body size of this chassis reaches 550mm × 248mm × 600mm, which brings a very wide internal space. Including 305mm × 277mm E-ATX motherboard, 190mm high CPU air-cooled radiator, 450mm long graphics card and 225mm long power supply can be easily installed into the chassis. In addition, the chassis also provides up to 10 2.5-inch SSD installation positions and 6 3.5-inch mechanical hard disk installation positions. It can be said that the iCUE 7000X RGB hardware compatibility is very strong, which can not only ensure that various high-end hardware on the market can be easily installed into the chassis, but also meet the user's installation requirements for a large number of storage devices.

Neat workmanship inside the case

At the same time, the workmanship and materials inside the iCUE 7000X RGB are also remarkable. The net weight of the entire chassis is close to 20kg, which shows that the materials used are quite solid. The internal rack of the chassis is also strong enough to shake the rack vigorously without deformation, which can provide firm support for various high-end hardware. I also observed the details of the rack inside the chassis. The seams on the edge of the rack are carefully processed, and the edges have been carefully treated. The hand feels very smooth, and players don’t have to worry about cutting their hands when installing the machine.

Intimate detail design, showing the strength of the big factory

Of course, many manufacturers can do it in terms of stacking materials, but iCUE 7000X RGB has brought about an improvement in ease of use through the optimization of details, which fully reflects the technical strength of CORSAIR.

The two side panels of the chassis are hinged, which is firm and easy to use. When installing hardware, the side panels can be opened with a single pull, which is very convenient. At the same time, the tempered glass panels on the front and top of the chassis can be disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning, maintenance or renovation of the interior of the chassis. Considering that the wires of high-end power supplies will be thicker, iCUE 7000X RGB is equipped with a 30mm deep cable management slot on the back and a RapadRoute cable management system with Velcro, cable cover, etc. Keep the inside of the case neat and tidy.

Hinged side panel for easy opening and closing

The traditional graphics card installation method can only expose its side, and the visual effect will be greatly reduced. Although many mid-tower cases support the vertical installation of graphics cards, they only provide 2 vertical graphics card slots, which cannot accommodate high-end graphics cards that generally adopt a 3-slot design. The iCUE 7000X RGB provides 3 vertical graphics card slots, which can install the larger high-end graphics card above the power supply compartment to fully display the cool graphics card.

There are 3 vertical graphics card slots on the back of the chassis, and there is no pressure to install a 3-slot graphics card

Cooling performance is still impressive

Although the iCUE 7000X RGB is not as extreme as the 7000D AIRFLOW in terms of heat dissipation configuration, its heat dissipation performance is still good. The front panel and top panel of the chassis are made of tempered glass, and no cooling holes can be opened. However, ventilation slots with a large area are set on both sides of the panel to ensure the circulation of air. At the same time, there are dust filters under the two panels to prevent dust from entering the chassis and causing damage to the hardware.

The spacious internal space of the chassis can accommodate 12 120mm fans or 7 140mm fans (the chassis comes with 4 140mm CORSAIR SP RGB ELITE fans, including 3 on the front and 1 on the back). If you want to install a water cooling system, the chassis can Install 3 360mm radiators or 2 420mm radiators at the same time. If you think this is not enough, iCUE 7000X RGB also has a customizable side fan rack, which can provide 4 120mm fan slots or install a 420mm radiator to create a very powerful cooling system . Although players may not be able to install so many fans or radiators in most cases, they can flexibly choose the installation location of the device according to the actual needs of air ducts and appearance. useful.

In addition, iCUE 7000X RGB comes with CORSAIR iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT controller, iCUE software and PWM fan repeater, which can monitor the running status of the hardware in real time, and automatically adjust the fan speed. The iCUE lighting effect linkage, "The Division 2", "Far Cry 5", "Metro: Exodus" have all implanted the CORSAIR SDK, through the real-time lighting effects, you can feel a comprehensive immersive game experience...

Total: both internal and external, enthusiasts deserve to have

As a high-end full-tower case with a price of nearly 2,000 yuan, the CORSAIR iCUE 7000X RGB has achieved the top level in terms of appearance design, materials and workmanship, high-end hardware compatibility and ease of use, and personalized lighting effects. The exterior, interior design and workmanship are impeccable. CORSAIR iCUE 7000X RGB can meet all the installed requirements of high-end players.
