Cooler Master HAF X Case Review

Inside HAF X

Both panels are fastened to the case using black thumbscrews and we wouldn’t expect anything less in a case from this category. Before talking about the internals of HAF X, we’d like to point out that the side fan comes with a  fan guard attached to it, which helps to direct the airflow on top of your video cards.

In Figure 10 you have an overall look at the inside HAF X. The motherboard tray has a hole around the area where the CPU is installed, allowing access to the backplate of the CPU cooler, so you can replace the coolering without having to remove the mo
therboard. A few holes for routing cables behind the motherboard tray are available, two of them protected with rubber covers. The motherboard tray also features several clips for fastening zip-lock ties.

In Figure 12 you have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened to the case using black thumbscrews, which is great. The motherboard tray is big enough to hold Extended ATX (E-ATX) motherboards, and the case supports video cards up to 13.5” (34.2 cm) long and CPU coolers up to 7 ½” (19 cm) tall. You can also install the radiator of certain liquid cooling solutions on the top panel inside the case.
