NZXT Lexa S Case Review

Inside Lexa S

Both panels are fastened to the case using thumbscrews, which is excellent. In Figure 10 we have an overall look from inside Lexa S. This first thing that caught our attention was the presence of several big holes on the motherboard tray. The biggest one is used for having access to the CPU cooler backplate, allowing you to replace your CPU cooler with a more powerful model without the need of removing the motherboard from the chassis. The smaller ones are used for routing cables behind the tray. One improvement compared to other cases from NZXT we reviewed recently (
M59 and Beta EVO) is the addition of rubber protections on these holes.

Daughter boards are fastened to the case using regular screws and we wouldn’t expect anything different on a case from this price range, even though it would be nice seeing at least thumbscrews here.

According to the manufacturer you can install radiators from certain water cooling solutions on the holes available on the top panel.
