As per topic title, how to choose for a i7 system?
Wat are the pros and cons?

I was actually in your place, couldn't decide between the two.

From what I understand 600T have bad airflow. One guy recommended me to change the fans to 2 x NZXT FN-200RB 200mm Case Fan and 120mm Scythe Fan for the rear (Ultra Kaze 3000). Since I can't find any shop or person selling those NZXT fans, I'm leaning toward HAF-X although I'm quite concern with the lack of dust filter at the bottom especially the PSU part.

Ya ke? My place very dusty. Seems got construction forever going on
But PSU bottom fan can't find filter?

Well, you could try;

But I don't think there's a specially made dust filter for HAF-X bottom. My room is very dusty too. I thought of buying those dust filters from the link I posted and try to place it at the bottom, somehow. Dunno if it works though.

dust filter can be bought so don worry.

Thanks for the links but how to fit the filters under the PSU under the Rig?

I don't think there's screw holes below the case so might have to do with wires or nuts and bolts.

Anything to get the job done I guess.

I'll have to look at the physical thing 1st to find a better way.

i'll go for haf-X 4 sure..roomy and has air intake on side panel...
as i7 sytem quite a heat maker...

HAF-X@RM550 for sure

both for me also a tip top product... only thing u need side panel or not..for me..i would go for 600T as its imported overseas..HAF x also good..but way too big haha

600T can looking for this review

HAF-X, no doubt..
But it's heavy...

haf x.. i got 1..
its heavy but u will not carry it on your shoulder while gaming/using it
big space inside
dust filter is good, only wipe out to clean
got wheel, very nice
no heavy mesh that will restrict air flow like 600T

haf-x with my rig weighs at least 30kg

mine got WC setup attached... superheavy.. but feels awesome.. hahahhah

yeah, go for HAF x lol...great airflow but dust can be cleaned at leisure time...^^

hope Corsair will make a few improvement over 600T...
mesh panel,bottom intake...coz it's also a nice kickin' ass case...hahahaha

I got haf-x for myself as well. Airflow? HAF-X. Aesthetic? Corsair.

i agree with zapdos9. I wish the they would combine the HAF's superb airflow with the Corsair's impeccable build quality and aesthetics.. I would've bought the Corsair if it were a full tower.. the 800D is just too expensive for me..

But the HAF does collect A LOT of dust... And bloody hell its heavy..

haf-X superb airflow..
600T superb elegent..

Just want to note you guys lingloong is now selling the NZXT fan I mentioned. A friend of mine is going to buy a 600T and replace the stock fans with NZXT's.

i will vote for haf-x..look garang maa

finally 600t with side panel is coming
but the color not very nice
now dunno how to choose...

CM HAF X more better because it is Full Tower Casing

well, some people dont like heavy giant metal boxes hehe..
i personally think the corsair looks good.. but the haf performs better..
and i like big heavy metal boxes..

HAF-X... you don't have to upgrade again for another 10yrs or so

take on haf-x la.

agree with u bro
also like heavy metal boxes..its look cool

Corsair good deal now RM479 (maybe tak laku ) but been using it and no such thing as 'bad airflow' Cable management setup IMHO bit better than Half-X (I have both and 1 CM Scout)

omg this thread is still alive...
if multi gpu, i would say HAF-X would be better

Really?



For majority of users who rely on air cooling, this case is not recommended for them. But don't let me stop anyone from buying this case as it is your money, not mine. I do agree however it looks stylish.

relying solel;y on review itself and making conclusion is subjective but respectfully is your own conclusion either based on owning the product itself or just merely relying on reviews..go on a google all the reviews, you will find the opinions or conclusions that varies..bottomline, if the individual is using the particular brand (in my case, corsair), he is in a better position to state his opinion based on experience owning it right? like I said I have both corsair and haf X...not much difference cheers

just need to remove the top drive cage for better airflow..

HAF-X ...

For water coolers:
Can easily fit triple radiator at top. Potential to fit another 240mm radiator at bay. another potential 240mm at HDD cage area ( if no long graphic card )

For air coolers:
High air flow, good cooling for GPU. Dust filters ( though not so effective )

Feature:
Support E-ATX board. 9 slot for quad SLI setup. Good cable management feature.

Downside:
Its heavy, made of steel.

Personally I own a HAF-X, its an ideal case for all people, good pricing and feature and its full tower. The downside is its very heavy once fitted all hardware inside.

I'm kinda bias towards all things Corsair. They make good shit, and the design is well thought of.

I'd go with 600T!

LOL at the airflow diagram. What if I said that no air flow for the CPU area due to all gpu already sucking the fresh air out due to the stock exhaust design ? There are no such thing that little or no air flow at the heat sink area. And the 2nd concept, wont the radiator sucking all the hot air release from GPU ?

There will be still plenty of air for the CPU area unless the top exhaust is a very powerful fan.

yes i agree haf x is a good case but it also come down to your personal feel about these cases also..

yeah..Haf-x is in a league of it's own..i agree with lichyetan..fully built very heavy, then again it's a full tower case meant for mid-hi end rage WC where else 600T is a mid-tower, perfect for beginners WC setup

design wise, I like Corsiar 600T more on the design. But HAF X on the interior and because its full tower. But actually, HAF X is a full tower that are not in maximum full tower size.

i second that..

My room is very dusty too. I thought of buying those dust filters from the link I posted and try to place it at the bottom, somehow. Dunno if it works though.

what casing are u using..?

da buy ke blom ni..lollz

so, ape kptsan owner page ni?..
mana 1 yg mnjadi pilihan?

NZXT phantom...
