Cooler Master HAF X

Zitat: + Staubfilter für Netzteil und Lüfter + Vier vorinstallierte Lüfter + Frontanschlüsse inkl. USB 3.0 + Verschiedene Kühlungsmöglichkeiten für Grafikkarten + Räder am Gehäuseboden + SATA-Dockingstation + Schnellverschlüsse für Laufwerke und Festplatten - Keine sehr leisen Lüfter

Zitat: Positiv: + Schickes Design + 2 riesige Lüfter innovatives Belüftungskonzept + Relativ leise + Saubere Kabelführung + Schnellverschlüsse für optische Laufwerke + Wakü-Vorrichtung Negativ: - Oberer Lüfter etwas laut - Keine Lüftersteuerung

Zitat: Cooler Master has moved the HAF full tower chassis into a new category with the HAF X. The main check boxes for entry into the high-end design and ultimate performance category has been hit, with some good design and value decisions on display throughout. Roller feet, hot swap SATA bays and the 2.5" HD adapter are welcome additions to the functionality of the HAF full tower line. The full coating of black paint is a nice touch, and the redesigned side window is another substantial improvement over the previous generation.

Zitat: In de inleiding vroegen we ons af of de HAF X een waardige uitbreiding is van de welbekende HAF serie. Daar kunnen we kort over zijn. Wat ons betreft is er met de HAF X een dijk van een behuizing geïntroduceerd. De airflow is zoals verwacht uitmuntend en een multi-GPU opstelling is dan ook koel te houden. Een nadeel is dat de behuizing bepaald niet fluisterstil is. De enorme ruimte om hardware in te bouwen stemt dan weer tot tevredenheid. Je moet er gemiddeld echter wel zo´n 175 euro voor betalen en dat is een flink bedrag, zeker gezien de prijs van zijn illustere voorgangers. En dat is eigenlijk gewoon te duur, vooral gezien de wat tegenvallende afwerking en kwaliteit van de plastic onderdelen (fan duct, geleidingssystemen, etc.).

Zitat: The HAF X is a better case than the HAF 922 and can easily cope with the demands of today´s toasty hardware. Not only is it a great case for an air-cooled PC, but it´s so well thought out that building a system in it should be a pleasant experience, whatever hardware you have. The fans are so much quieter than the Antec Dark Fleet DF-85´s are at full speed so maybe Cooler Master could consider using some higher RPM fans with fan control next time. There´s potential for water cooling too, although there´s little need to make the HAF X any quieter than it is out of the box thanks to its enormous fans keeping that din very low in the first place. While your subjective aesthetic preferences may differ, we all feel that it isn´t a great-looking case by any standards, though. The Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 isn´t exactly a looker either, but it did a noticeably better job of cooling the CPU, even at its lowest fan speed setting. It´s a tough call between the HAF X and the Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 - one has fan control and awesome CPU cooling, the other is quiet out of the box and cooled our graphics card extremely well. There are downsides to both though, and as we mentioned in the Dark Fleet DF-85 review, we´ve been playing with some other cases recently too, and would advise waiting to see more before making a decision.
