Thermaltake Core V71 Tempered Glass Edition E-ATX Full Tower Tt LCS Certified Gaming Computer Case CA-1B6-00F1WN-04

This case is LARGE. (room for)Four 200mm fans is an accomplishment, size prerequisite. But it is relatively quiet as a result. 200 mm fans may not be the "static pressure" king, but their size affords them a relatively premium airflow to rotation speed ratio. I've got a 5900x under a deepcool ak620 with an rx6900x in this case, and thermals are absolutely not an issue. As configured, despite running entirely air cooled in an "older" style case, the system benchmarks above average for the hardware. Better airflow can of course be had at a better price, and in a smaller, more practical case. That is, unless you'd also like an optical drive. BD-XL anyone? This is easier said than done in 2022. (I'm reviewing on 1/2/23, but I purchased this case for a build several months ago.) There is the Fractal Pop Air. Notably cheaper, still decent airflow, I think it can fit a pair of 140mm up front. I wasn't aware of that case at the time, and I'd say this is probably a bit better airflow still. This is on the nicer end of cases. The build quality is quite sturdy. The side panel is tinted tempered glass, and extends the entirety of the panel. There are high and low controls for the three preinstalled 200mm fans, but an additional y-splitter would be necessary to install a fourth matching fan to this controller. They are three pin fans, so no on board power management. Likewise, if you swap to different fans, you'll be forgoing the fan and light controls on top of the case. The included 140mm rear exhaust fan is also a simple three pin, but will be the only one that needs to be connected to the board directly. (no controller space by default) The stock fans are nearly silent on low, and still quite quiet on high. They are some of the cheapest 200mm fans you can buy if you need to replace, or just want that fourth slot filled. And, they are beyond perfectly adequate for consistently strenuous use. My 5900x tops out low-mid 60s under a dual tower cooler, and the hot-spot on that 6900xt peaks about 80. And the size of this case will easily facilitate dual water cooling solutions. I plan on using this case for an unreasonably long time. It's so good. Thermaltake offers retooled variants of this case with closed off panels, the drive bays removed, and 200mm fan support removed... if you're into that sort of thing. Check out newer models in the "core" series for decreasing value as time presses forward. This is a nearly extinct breed of magnificently versatile PC case.

Space, on the same level as my HAF-32. Took the 8 drives, and 3 SSD's in the back. Has filters to keep the dust out. Added massive fans 2 top, and 2 front, 2 120's on bottom, 140 exhaust. Ryzen 3800X at 4.2, 32 gigs Gskill Trident Z. For power, I went with a bit coin 1600 watt power supply, because it offered lot's of connections, and then some. I can game full tilt with the Evga GTX 1660, and not ever once blow hot air out of it. Bought the power supply right here. Has not skipped a beat. MOBO is an Asus AM4 X570 TUF GAMING With WIFI, these boards are new. Booted out of the box and never looked back. Fans supplied by Dark Flash. Case is epic. It will also take a couple liquid coolers. Drive cages are mods, you can change the case to how you need it. You know you want one. :) ROCK SOLID. There is also a 1TB Crucial 3D NAND NVME on the board. Heat sink matches design of board. Cheers!

This is the second time I have purchased this enclosure. It is just very attractive and roomy. I can remove the hard drive cages (since I use M.2 drives) and I can hide all of the cabling behind the motherboard mount. One side of the case is tempered glass and the other allows you to stash all of your excess cabling. In addition, the middle backside of the motherboard is visible from here allowing you to mount your water-cooled processor with ease and not have to completely remove the motherboard. Because of the glass there isn’t a side fan to move air over your video card, but you don’t need that. Why? Well, the case comes with three 200mm fans and one 14mm fan. This moves plenty of air over the video card. Larger fans are better for moving airflow and it keeps them quiet. Airflow follows a cubed relationship with RPM, so this case beats all. Slow fan RPM and high airflow and quiet. It is really designed for water-cooled systems, but works just fine either way.

Overall, a very sturdy case with large, quiet case fans. I purchased this particular case because my preferred Corsair cases are out of stock everywhere (or are only available at insane 2X/3X MSRP prices). I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality of this Thermaltake case, but I am compelled to share two major downsides to this case: (1) There was a very strong chemical odor coming from the whole case for several weeks, even when hardware was not yet installed. I could not believe how overpowering the smell was. Totally impossible to be nearby. How could anyone sell a product in such a condition? I needed to keep the case in a well-ventilated place for several weeks before the odor went away. (2) Carrying this case safely is very awkward! The front and top surfaces detach easily, and if one accidentally relies upon those surfaces for getting a grip, they will likely suddenly break away. The case offers no convenient way to grip the case for carrying. Obviously not a big issue if the case won't be moved for years -- but, if you might move the case from time to time this design flaw might cause inconvenience, or worse. One other detail which disappointed me was the way the side panels fasten to the case. For a case in this price class I would hope for hinged panels which remain attached to the case, or at least some way for the panel to swing out a small amount without falling off the case. But, with this case it is rather easy for the panel to crash down once the rear panel screws are removed. As I mentioned, I plan to keep the case for the long term. It's solid, and the case fans are surprisingly large and quiet. And the particular implementation of modular drive bays in this case is nice. However, I wanted to share some of the downsides of the case to help other people make better informed choices -- and maybe inspire a wider discussion about how product out-gassing should happen before products are sealed in bags and shipped (in scenarios where an average person would say that the product odor is initially unbearably noxious).

The case is perfect for my needs.

BIG inside, you can mount most anything in there. I like the three cages for drives that are individually removable. I removed one in the middle and created a lot more air flow from front fans , over the PCH and on to the back fan. The front, back, and top included fans are large, quiet and move a lot of air. The top mounted controls and USB ports have nice long cables that reach all headers on an ATX form. Plenty of room to fit the largest length graphics cards (PCIE). At bottom after an 850W psr leaves a lot of room for more fans, spare drives etc. The only down side item are the side door mounting screws, they don't fit very well. Difficult to screw in but they do hold. Large clear glass door on left side allows sight of the lighted fans inside. Heavy and tempered glass..

I noticed on my Core V71 that the fans weren't running that were supplied with the case. After a frustrating week of calls and requests I found out that Thermaltake no longer supports this system even though they still sell it. My Fan Control board went bad (other reviewers have had this go out as well). I tried to order another. Well, they don't have any! Even if you purchased a NEW system and the board went out they couldn't supply you with another. I am very disappointed with Thermaltake and will NOT be recommending or purchasing their equipment in the future.

I needed to upgrade my PC for my business, and because I have a lot of data I need to store (in the form of 3D models) I needed a case that would allow me to have plenty of hard drives. The case is massive, yet surprisingly not too heavy. I have had no issues with cooling and the case makes zero noise, which is nice since my printers make more than enough noise to compensate. I think the only complaint I have is the face pops off a little too easy but it is sturdy and very easy to put back on.

This tower is not for the timid. It is very intimidating from it's size to it's weight. The tower is not light. It got it with lots of loose metal shaving and rivet heads laying all over. It would have been nice it they had cleaned the unit before they sent it out. I did not find any sharp edges like some cabinets have in them, It has plenty of space to install a multitude of drives to 10 mechanical types. The cabinet comes equipped with 3 HUGE fans. (now if I can only figure out how to get them to work?) Haven't figured that out yet, but it looks like they light up. It has a nice TEMPERED glass side. It is missing sound deadening like my other cabinet. It has top, bottom cleaning screens. Comes with a Video card brace for those heavier cards and has horizontal slot covers for future expansion. Over all NICE STRONG CABINET BUT HEAVY

Both my PSU and 420mm radiator cannot fit. The case is incredibly selfish for its product only. I am literally screaming while assembling this case. Although possible, drilling holes for my radiator to fit on. Or the PSU that is completely loose and I cannot really do anything about it because the PSU HOLE IS SMOLE. Its like a Black friday at a Party but everyones doodle and whoodle is insignificant. Literally measured, PSU hole is smaller than 1.4 by 5.6 inch. AND NOW PSU IS KINDA LOOSE, what you gonna do about that ThermalTake? Huh how about I send it back and you drill a few more holes for my 140mm fans and 420mm radiator and make the Psu hole bigger, yes? Look I dont want to get a Pc case and drill holes myself. Take the initiative to drill as many holes as you think your user will need for some other purpose. Btw MY PSU IS STILL LOOSE WHAT DO I DO! Do you want me to cut a bigger PSU hole? Do you seriously think everyone has a saw? God DAMN IT. This is just a load of garbage you threw at me. I am not buying any other cases from you in the future THERMALTAKE. Take my words for real. Cya. Thanks for reading my comment. Bye.

Algo que ya sabemos que tiene este gabinete pues lo estamos buscando precisamente por ello, todas esas ranuras para los discos duros. Hijole! Pura belleza. Si se las quieres quitar y ponerle enfriamiento liquido personalizado, creanme que si alcanza y sobrado! Los ventiladores incluidos son buenos y me fascino que tiene un boton de apagado del led (Ojito que como yo monte un servidor en este gabinete, me viene de perlas pues los leds apagados y la pc encendida, brutal!). Sin necesidad de quitarle ninguna "ranura de expansion de los discos duros", creo que cualquier gpu (Tarjeta de video), le cabria. LO MALO! Pero no tan malo... No tiene cable de expancion para el puerto PCI exp de la tarjeta de video, o bueno, no lo incluye. Ustedes preguntaran, "Bueno y por que es algo malo?" Es que el gabinete si, Si serñores que si! Si trae su apartadito para montar una tarjeta de video de modo vertical <3! Es lo unico "malo" Pero no tan malo, por que supongo que seria mejor que compres uno de mayor tasa de transferencia y si lo trajera incluido, de verdad aumentaria mucho el precio del gabinete. Ademas, si eres como yo que te habias comprado un soporte para el gpu, pues listo, asunto arreglado. Conclusion. Excelente producto, bastante versatil y comodo para trabajar y darle mantenimiento! Tanto asi que me compre otro igual pero para mi pc personal.

Being in the computer industry, I have purchased numerous cases before but this Thermaltake case is the best I've worked on. Easy to work on, lots of room inside and the most important feature is that all drive bays come with the HDD brackets. Other cases you need to purchase additional brackets. The fans are great, very low sound and moves a lot of air. I picked up additional fans from a local computer shop for the bottom and top of the case. No problem installing the additional fans. Overall, I am very satisfied with this case and recommend it. Excellent value for the price.

PC tower case arrived on schedule, shipping box in good condition. First I will start with the good about this case. If you read my entire review you will read about the pro's and con's as well. It is very large, probably the largest PC case I have ever owned. In the photos I display it next to the average PC case and it towers above and is longer and wider. I will point out that this was exactly what I wanted, I wanted the biggest case I could buy to fit everything I planned inside it. I wanted this case to build a monster size media server for streaming my own content in my household to our tv's. It turned out to be so much more than I expected, there was so much space I was able to install 5 NVME drives using additional pcie slots and two GPU which fit into the case perfectly without any modifications. The case can support 8+ 3.5 drives and I say 9Disks+ because you can remove the top 12 inch fans and mount even more Sata drives if you really need the space, and you can buy inexpensive mounting kit to mount the 9th disk in the DVD Bay. I went with 2X8TB 2X16TB, 2X18TB drives mixes of some 8TB total 84TB. Good cable management was also possible using supplied ties and Velcro traps that came included with the case. A full size ATX motherboard fit nice, them Ryzen CPU covered by a huge corsair A500 Cooler. This cooler is an absolute beast and it keeps temperatures down no matter if your running the cpu at 100% for days on end doing transcodes, file transfers and VM's. My point is that the cooler won't fit in alot of smaller cases, it comes almost right to the glass panel it just fits and I was soo glad I had the space to mount it, its beautiful and better than water cooling. The case itself can is supplied already with 3X 30mm fans, 2 front, 1 top and a rear facing 120mm black fan. The 2 front fans and one top rear fan are white and glow a nice blue when powered on. I added an additional inexpensive 30mm black non lightup fan on front top without any modifications the holes were already there. It doesn't come with it because it can be alternatively used as a second dvd bay. There is a high and low setting right on the case to set fan speeds and they are wired directly to the power supply by a dedicated harness which was very easy to set up. additional fans I installed I used power from the motherboard and I drilled holes in the back of the Sata drive bays to fit two additional 140 mm RGB corsair fans. I removed the 120mm OEM and installed 140mm RGB from the 3 piece kit I purchased separately. I have a tonne of airflow and I need every bit of it. This case is very loud when first booted up it will be too loud for a bedroom, I had to manually adjust every fan speed in the Bios according to speed/temp settings and it became silent and wonderful and I sleep with it in my bedroom. I don't hear it unless it is processing alot of media and ramps up the cpu cooler and RGB fan speeds. I also can switch on the high speed setting on the case for non motherboard controlled fans. I will also mention that I am an advanced computer/server expert, I buy all my parts from Amazon.ca for several reasons. They have the biggest selection more than anywhere else. They seem to carry every component and part I could ever need and they are my go to store for all computer related items. I have had to return some items but I was deeply disappointed because I had realized that there is an additional brace that screws to the drive bays from the top of the case to the bottom and it was not included in the package. The case itself came with two noticeable scratches one on the front grill and on the top a slight dent. It was not that noticeable and I didn't discover it until I was too far into building the server, and I didn't want to pull the motherboard back out and other components once I had started. I contacted the seller Thermaltake at least a dozen times with no response, I included in my messages that I was just looking to get them to ship me the missing support brace. They completely ignored me and I never to this day two years later have ever heard from them. Amazon went out of their way to credit me a partial amount of $50 and on a $300 case I thought this was fair but I still would have liked to have had the brace. The Sata drive bays are mounted very sturdy even without the brace, the don't budge at all in fact the brace is probably more for vibration dampening than anything else. But the sata easy removal bays were wonderful and they have rubber mounts which can save on hard drive wear and tear and lower vibration and noise. They are a good feature and removing or swapping a drive is soo easy. minimal screws are required i think just 2 front and 1 bottom side. The rest of the drive is held in place with snap in clips of good quality. I have had no issues with this case in 2 years running, I have never shut the server off and wiring and everything works perfectly like day 1. I checked every single case on Amazon and I chose this one over all the rest, it has great cooling and huge 30mm fans and lots of airflow between the disk bays. I am at 60% capacity now of 84 TB I have been downloading from usenet nonstop for 2 years to build a high quality Emby media server and I estimate I won't even need to buy the remaining 3 disks for 2 years or more. Everything is fully automated running Unraid OS license key from OfficeRat.ca I got at a discount price unlimited drives. This is a beautiful case and everyone that sees it is either jealous and my mom is proud of me when she sees it. That I built such an amazing machine that our whole family gets so much use out of. I would buy this case again because disks are coming out in 22TB now by Seagate Exos enterprise and you don't have to buy many to make a wonderful media center and cancel your streaming subscriptions, do self hosted and reap the benefits.
