Results on this test platform cannot be compared to previous case benchmark results, as the platform has completely changed. Also announced alongside the R6 was the Flex VRC-25 vertical GPU riser kit, slated for availability in late January, 2018. Since Fractal sent us the proper PCIe riser cable, we didn’t have to strap everything together with zip ties and the GPU and CPU coolers didn’t make contact--this is just how it is with air-cooled components in this configuration.It had good reviews and the Titanium was only slightly more when I purchased it due to a sale so the cost bump was not a deterrent.

The case comes with three 140mm Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP14 fans, designed to provide superlative airflow with minimal noise. That initially sounds like a ripoff, but it seems likely that the R6 had already gone into production by the time Fractal realized there would be demand for USB Type-C, and that this was the best compromise available. This forces testing of case fan performance in addition to the case's air channeling and airstream design. As you can see from the photos I managed to fit the additional 2 drive cage between main hard drive compartment and the power supply. Expanding on the timeless elegant form and silent modular function, that brought so much success to its predecessors, the Define R6 offers the demanding hardware enthusiast a solid foundation and flexible framework with limitless potential.This allows you to acquire a Type-C USB port to give you ultra-fast file transfers and blazing-fast charging properties. There’s not much that can be done about this, aside from focusing more airflow toward the bottom of a chassis. Other than the full glass side panel, the case is absolutely a Fractal design (a Fractal Design design?

Easy-to-clean, high airflow, nylon filters on the Define R6 ensure unwanted dust and dirt doesn't get into your system to keep it performing at it's best. More hair would actually get picked up by the front fans, and pulled into the front filter, as I had to clean that a lot more often than the bottom filter. As usual, we’re starting with only temperatures for the Define R6 in different configurations, then we’ll look at comparative data with other cases.Personally I would stick with the R6 because the top ventilation panel on the Define 7 really bugs me off and I am ready to give up on the additional features for this aesthetical reasons, if you don't care about it as you say then I would get the Define 7 for all the small but nice improvements it brings on. s budget Pure Base and high-end Dark Base lines, and the tempered glass version is a bit more than the Silent Base 800. Also it seems the 140mm fans, since they're so wide, even with the front door removed, they're still choked by air somewhat due to the front panel. slot GPU mount showcases your graphics hardware with full visibility (PCIe riser sold separately) - Highly modular interior includes six universal SSD/HDD trays that can be independently repositioned to suit components, cooling, and cable routing - Customizable 2. The Define R6 also uses sound dampened steel panels, offers future-proof component support and provides room for numerous storage drives.

Improved ModuVent technology allows an effortless transition from steel-clad sound dampened top panel to filtered high airflow multi-fan ventilation setup. A lot of this comes down to that shroud: Although the enclosure gets decent airflow into it -- roughly on-par with a case that has 2x 200mm front fans, no less -- the shroud is trapping some heat from the open face card. It doesn’t pop out all the way, though, and needs to be lifted from inside the case, which makes it feel a little pointless.

I think it does add to structural integrity somewhat, but if it can be taken off, building the case woulda been easier. I had a few extra 140s and 120s lying around and purchased a few extra to give myself a total of 5 x 140mm + 4 x 120mm fans. Sound-dampened steel panels with an elegant push-to-lock latching mechanism encase an entirely redesigned interior with unprecedented component support and storage flexibility.
