CORSAIR iCUE 7000X RGB

　This time, we will introduce CORSAIR's new all-tower chassis "iCUE 7000X RGB", which can carry a large radiator of 420 mm or 480 mm.

　The ICUE 7000X RGB is a modern full-tower chassis. In addition to the unique capacity of the full-tower chassis with super-large radiators, it also uses modular interiors to improve workability and customization, as well as the design of RGB lighting in 3-sided reinforced glass panel specifications.

　In addition to introducing the appearance and functionality of the iCUE 7000X RGB, this review will also introduce assembly examples using high-specification PC parts. If you want to build an exquisite one, be sure to check the results of the iCUE 7000X RGB.

420 mm water-cooled tower "CORSAIR iCUE 7000X RGB" is white and black.

iCUE 7000X RGBのホワイトモデル(CC-9011227-WW)

　The CORSAIR iCUE 7000X RGB is CORSAIR's new full-tower chassis with reinforced glass panels on three sides. The size of the fuselage is 248x600x550mm (width × height × depth). The shape factors of the installable motherboard are E-ATX, ATX, microATX and Mini-ITX.

　The ICUE 7000X RGB has a color variation of white (CC-9011227-WW) and black (CC-9011226-WW). The function of these two colors and the number of reinforced glass panels are not different, so it is better to choose according to the combined parts and your preferences. In addition, this time we introduce white models.

Free tools and open side panels

　The side plate of the ICUE 7000X RGB is a door type that can be opened and closed by free tools on the left and right sides, and can be opened and closed on the hinge on the back side of the shell. The side panel is opened about 180 degrees, so it is easy to access the interior during maintenance operations such as cleaning.

　In addition, if the screw on the upper part of the hinge is removed, the side plate itself can be removed. In the assembly operation of PC, the workability can be improved by removing the side plate.

Modular inspection of the internal structure of water-cooled radiators and fans that are easy to install

　From here, we will examine the interior decoration of the iCUE 7000X RGB. The interior of the left side of the chassis is the space for configuring major components such as the motherboard. The white model is even painted white inside, the front side is equipped with a cable cover, and the bottom face is equipped with a cover covering the periphery of the power supply unit.

　These covers can not only hide the cables that are easy to twist, but also change the number of cooling fans and the size of the radiator that can be installed on the front side by removing or replacing parts.

　In addition to setting the wiring space, the right side also serves as a space for installing 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch storage devices.

　The wiring space on the back of the motherboard installation space is covered by a metal inner door. Like the side plate, the inner door can open and close the hinge arranged on the back side around the axis, or it can be removed by pulling it up. Because of the invisible metal side panel on the right side of the iCUE7000X RGB, there is no visual meaning to hide the cable through the inner door, but it is expected to prevent the cable from clamping on the side panel or dust accumulation.

8 3.5 inch 2.5-inch combined bays + 3 2.5-inch bays for up to 11 storage spaces

　The ICUE 7000X RGB standard has 11-slot storage bays. These include two "HDD cages" with four 2.5-inch drives, two corresponding pallets, and three 2.5-inch drive pallets with a total of 11 slots.

　The HDD cage is modular and can be stacked with HDD cages in addition to being removed from the shell. The standard is arranged horizontally on the bottom of the right side, but you can also focus on stacking two layers in the front.

A cooling system that is easy to install fans and radiators through modularization

　The ICUE 7000X RGB is equipped with fan seats at the front, top, rear and front. Among these fan brackets, only the rear is integrated with the chassis, and the other fan brackets are modular and can be removed from the chassis.

　The front fan bracket is capable of carrying four 120mm fans, three 140mm fans and a radiator of 480mm (120mm x 4) or 420mm (140mm x 3). The fan support can be accessed by removing the glass panel and dust filter in front of the housing and can be pulled out from the front side if the retaining screws are removed. In addition, three 140mm fans "iCUE SP140RGB ELITE" are installed at the front desk.

　The rear fan bracket can be fitted with a 120 mm or 140 mm fan and can be installed with a radiator size of 120 mm or 140 mm. As mentioned above, the rear fan bracket is a chassis all-in-one and is not equipped with a dust filter. Since many tower shells are like this, for the rear, this is a design, assuming the installation of an exhaust fan. In addition, the rear is equipped with a 140mm fan (ICUE SP140RGB ELITE) as standard.

　Located on the front side, the fan bracket, known as the "motherboard tray" in CORSAIR's manual, can carry 480 mm radiators in addition to four 120 mm fans. However, because the cable cover covers this position, it is necessary to remove the cable cover in order to make effective use of the cable cover.

　When opening the side plate on the right side of the housing, the front fan bracket is accessible and can be removed from the chassis if the retaining screw is removed. The dustproof filter is fixed on the vent of the side plate with a magnet.

Try to assemble a two-tone high-specification computer using a water-cooled cooler with a 420 mm radiator

　Now, let's take a look at an example of PC assembled using iCUE 7000X RGB. In this assembly, CORSAIR uses the newly designed integrated water cooler "iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX", which is conceived to be combined with iCUE 7000X RGB.

iCUE 7000X RGB向けに設計された420mmラジエーター採用オールインワン水冷「iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX」。

　The air conditioner, which uses a 420 mm radiator and is standard with three 140mm fans, is expected to be available in Japan in the near future. If you are considering homemade in iCUE 7000X RGB, be sure to consider the imported CPU cooler. This review only introduces the situation at the time of loading, and the performance is expected to be verified and submitted for review in the near future.

　For other parts, as shown in the following table. It is characterized by the use of a large number of CORSAIR products and supports management in iCUE.

　The actual assembled PC takes the following photos. In this structure, which is equipped with multiple devices corresponding to LED lighting, in addition to the general power cable and signal cable, it is also necessary to route the RGB LED control cable, so the cable wiring becomes complicated, but In the iCUE 7000X RGB, the wiring space is set on the right side of the back side of the motherboard, and the left side of the glass panel side is also equipped with a cover to hide the wiring, so the PC is assembled to give people an intelligent impression.

　The 420 mm water-cooled iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX for this time, although fixed on the top windshield, is only designed for use in the iCUE7000X RGB and is fully suited to the size of the top panel. The installation of large radiators is often very heavy work, but in the case of iCUE7000X RGB, the water-cooled cooler is installed when the fan bracket is removed from the chassis, so the operation is also good.

CORSAIR products that support iCUE can uniformly manage lighting and fan control

　In the CORSAIR manufacturing parts used this time, the shell (housing fan), CPU cooler and memory correspond to the practical software "iCUE" of CORSAIR.

　In iCUE, in addition to the control of LED lighting, you can also control cooling fans and water-cooled pumps, monitoring functions such as operating temperature and rotational speed, and firmware updates of the corresponding equipment.

　When it comes to RGB LED products, it gives the impression that the rainbow color is gorgeous and shining, but if you use iCUE to control the glowing color, you can also create colors that monochrome LED can't buy. If you use products that support iCUE to fix LED carrying parts, you can also have a high degree of joint luminescence, so users considering buying iCUE 7000X RGB should be aware of the existence of iCUE when choosing parts.
