Bitfenix Raider Case Review

The Top, Bottom, and Rear Panels

The top panel of the Bitfenix Raider is meshed, with space for you to install a 200 mm fan, but the case doesn’t come with this fan.

The reviewed case has four USB 3.0 ports, the traditional audio jacks, and a single-channel, analog fan controller. The three fans that come with this case are connected to this controller. You can also install the optional top and bottom fans on this controller. Since this controller is a single-channel model, you will change the speed of all of the fans at the same time. The USB 3.0 ports use two internal connectors, so make sure you install a motherboard with internal USB 3.0 headers.

The bottom panel has an air filter for the power supply fan and for the optional bottom fan.

On the Bitfenix Raider, the power supply is installed at the bottom of the case.

The case comes with another Spectre 120 mm fan installed on its rear panel. This fan is connected to the fan controller.

This case has seven expansion slots with vented covers.

The Bitfenix Raider has two holes using rubber covers for hoses of liquid cooling solutions. These holes are 0.8” (21 mm) in diameter.
