Cooler Master HAF X Full Tower Chassis Review

Interior

The doors on the HAF X open a little bit differently to most cases; instead of sliding towards the rear of the case, the doors open by pivoting the rear of the doors outwards and then removing. Once removed we can see the inside has some unique added extras and everything is colour coded to match the exterior in black.

The other side opens up in the same fashion and shows the room available for cable management. For users who change their motherboard components such as CPU coolers or processors will find that the cut-out hole for easy changing of these components is a real godsend. There are also rubber grommet style pass-throughs for your cables.

Inside we can see the cooling that makes up this case starting with the top fan which is a 200mm fan and is black to match the rest of the case and with it’s low RPM and low dBA sound level, this fan should be fantastic for airflow whilst keeping noise down.

The rear has a 140mm fan which once again is black and doesn’t feature any LED’s. Obviously this can be taken out and changed for a different fan but from what we’ve seen so far, the stock fans should be more than sufficient.

As said, there are rubber style grommets for passing your cables through and making the case as tidy as possible for all of your components.

There are plenty of included cables which plug into the front panel connectors. There is also a PCB style panel for connecting SATA data cables and a 4-pin Molex to give power to the dockable drive panels that are including in the set of 5.25″ drive bays.

Also included is a plastic shroud type device which hooks over your graphics cards and be be installed with an optional fan to give the most extreme cooling to any system.
