Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Case Review

Inside the Corsair Obsidian 650D

As already explained, the side panels of the Obsidian 650D are removed by pushing two latches available at each panel. The motherboard tray has a huge hole for you to access the backplate of the CPU cooler without having to remove the motherboard from the case, several holes protected with rubber covers for you to route cables behind it, and several metallic clips for you to fasten cables behind the motherboard tray using cable ties.

In Figure 14, you have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened to the case using black thumbscrews. The 650D supports
video cards up to 13” (330 mm) long or up to 17.7” (450 mm) long, if the top hard drive cage is removed.

Note that the power supply can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. As already shown, there is an air filter for the power supply fan. This case has a bracket that can be moved to match the power supply length.
