Are you all okay with Double Eleven? Have you purchased your favorite items?
In fact, I have always liked large chassis. In addition to being domineering, it can also provide better internal space, heat dissipation, and hardware installation, so I don’t have to worry about not being able to install it. Today I will bring you a flagship full-tower chassis product-iCUE 7000X RGB. Currently, there are 2 versions of this case, 000D and 7000X, front main cooling, the latter mainly focuses on lighting effects, and both versions provide white and black color choices. Today's protagonist is the iCUE 7000X RGB black full tower chassis. So, let’s continue to see how the installation effect is.
[Dangerous, dazzling domineering]
As a full tower case, the Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB gives me the feeling that it is big, it is really big. In terms of size, the iCUE 7000X can only be described as a giant. The new iCUE 7000X has two colors: black and white, but the price of white is slightly more expensive, so there is no need to explain too much.
Three-sided tempered glass (top, front, side) front panels are all 4mm thick. Be sure to pay attention when disassembling well. It is not cheap to break. The front roof is designed with snap-on design, which is very convenient to disassemble. The front panel I installed accidentally fell to the ground, but there was a blanket on the ground, which allowed the glass panel to escape.
Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB comes standard with 4 SP140 RGB ELITE fans. For daily installation, such a fan configuration is completely enough. With the water-cooled fan on the top , the entire air duct will be built like this. Of course, if you like to use air cooling, you can also buy a set of fans to install. The SP140 RGB ELITE fan comes with ARGB lighting effect, especially in dark light, don’t be too beautiful! The front IO interface of
Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB is designed on the top. As a flagship product in 2021, the interfaces are all the highest standard, including four USB 3.0, one USB 3.1 TYPE-C interface, audio/microphone combo jack, and key opening and restart keys. The iconic yellow color of Corsair can be seen everywhere on this case, such as the USB port on the top is a good example. The top has the standard of 140mmX3, which is just installed with Corsair H170i ELITE LCD 420mm cold radiator, which is perfect.
The right panel is made of metal, and the corresponding flow guide holes are reserved with the fan. I like the double-layer design, just block all the wires. I have to say that white is pleasing to the eye, and the more I look at it, the more I like it.
You can see the burly chassis of the entire tower through the back. Corsair iCUE 7000X has 8 expansion positions, and supports vertical installation of graphics cards. Do you like this chassis design?
[Huge, plenty of space]
Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB case has a huge space inside, supporting split water cooling. If you have the ability to do it, what are you waiting for? The chassis supports all specifications of motherboards from E-ATX to ITX. Of course, players who purchase this chassis will not choose ITX motherboards, and it is not good to install, haha!
If the vertical graphics card slot of the three-slot is not enough, then this chassis also has a black technology. The expansion slot can convert the part into a vertical position. It can be achieved through the vertical graphics card slot in the figure below. Therefore, it can be seen that the flexibility and expansion of the chassis are very good.
Corsair iCUE 7000X chassis also has a fan installation position on the side. If your graphics card is water-cooled and cooled, you can use this position to install the cold radiator. It supports up to 420 cold radiator or 480mm fan (120mmX4).
Because it is pre-installed with 4 SP140 RGB ELITE fans, in a position that takes into account the chassis fan installation, Corsair designed two hubs , one supports lighting effect and the other does not.There is also the hub of the Corsair logo with an RGB lighting control system. If you buy a Corsair fan, you can plug it directly. If it is from other brands, they are not universal. Please be familiar with this. In addition, there are two temperature monitoring sensor probes on this controller , which are used to monitor the temperature in the chassis and adjust the speed of the fan.
Corsair iCUE 7000X chassis has a total of 9 hard disk bits. If you use a high-end motherboard, almost all M.2 hard disk installation bits are available, so the expansion performance of this chassis is very powerful.
[Corpsy Ship H170i ELITE LCD 420mm]
American merchant Corpsy Ship H170i ELITE LCD 420mm Elite Edition is a flagship water cooling model with a size of 420mm. Both appearance and performance are very top-notch. After all, as a manufacturer of light pollution , the lighting effect is absolutely first-class.
iCUE Commander Core intelligent RGB lighting controller, this is similar to the chassis, integrating lighting and speed control. Support up to 6 RGB PWM fans.
heat dissipation fins are very dense, have many waterways, and the workmanship is also very good. Such a large area of heat dissipation fins can quickly discharge the heat generated by CPU.
Three 140mm Corsair ML RGB magnetic levitation PWM fans, support speed regulation and RGB lighting. The fan speed is 450~2000RPM and the air volume is 97CFM. Provides strong air volume to the chassis and air cooling to the maximum extent. In addition, the zero-speed mode can be turned on through the iCUE software, which is suitable for winter, haha!
H170i ELITE LCD display size is 2.1 inches, with a resolution of 480*480, with a 24bit color depth, an ultra-high brightness of 600cd/m², and a very delicate display effect. can be used to display CPU temperature in real time, liked dynamic GIF pictures, funny pictures , or team icons, etc. The water cooling head uses a high-performance silent centrifugal water pump, which has a high flow rate of 820ml/min, but the noise is less than 20dBA. Simply put, the fan sound of your graphics card is much louder than it.
Nowadays, many manufacturers like to directly spray silicon grease . First, this can save some silicon grease, but make it easier for novices to install. We know that many newbies apply a lot of silicone grease and thick, but this is actually a waste. Corsair H170i ELITE LCD420mm Elite Edition uses a split copper heat dissipation base, which is matched with 128 ultra-high-density micro-water channels per inch, which can maximize the heat dissipation performance. It is also very easy to crush the flagship processor. As for the installation platform, both AMD and intel were taken. It is still okay to use high-standard water cooling to press 12900k or 7950x, because there is no 13900k, so I dare not make a conclusion here.
heat dissipation water pipe is 45 cm long. You can install it on the top and front of the iCUE 7000X full-tower chassis. It is not suitable for ordinary chassis. After all, some full-tower chassis will not support such high-standard water cooling. The cold pipe is made of black casing low-permeability rubber material, and is wrapped with a layer of protective mesh. It is sturdy and durable, which greatly improves the service life.
[HX1500i]
chose this power supply mainly for RTX4090, but it is unlikely at present. It is reported that the price has doubled, especially brands like ROG, which directly reaches 28,000+, so you can only wait and see. This time, the power supply is the second flagship HX1500i, which is enough for later upgrades. The power supply of
I feel that the cable has been arranged for you properly. I won’t introduce it here in detail. Just buy and use it with confidence.
power supply has 80Plus platinum certification, and the conversion efficiency can reach 92%; it adopts digital design LLCh resonant topology circuit and DC to DC conversion to ensure stable power output and reduce the noise generated by coil whistling. It is equipped with a 140mm fluid bearing fan, which not only has sufficient air volume, but also supports the fan's zero-speed mode to improve the silent effect.
power supply comes with a type-C interface. It is connected to the motherboard USB interface through the included dedicated cable, and can customize the fan speed through the iCUE software. At the same time, it can detect the power settings to dynamically switch the single-rail/multi-rail overcurrent protection. This is one of the best places of the American Corsair HX1500i. The motherboard module port adopts a 18+10PIN design, and the number of 8PIN PCI-E/CPU module ports can be easily used with dual CPU motherboards, and can also be expanded into multiple graphics cards for power supply.
Nissan capacitor, standard for high-end power supplies, rated Nissan capacitor of 105℃, durable and stable.
power supply supports AC input: 100V a.c. - 240V a.c, +3.3V load is 25A, +5V load is 25A output is 150W, +12V load is 125A, and the output power is 1500W.
[MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War Motherboard]
black and gold, this is the consistent design of MSI flagship motherboard. This time MSI MEG X670E ACE is no exception. The Golden Dragon and MEG logo on the cooling module also show the positioning and identity of this motherboard. As the flagship motherboard, MEG X670E ACE God of War uses a super power supply configuration of 22+2+1 phase 90A. For better heat dissipation, MSI uses reinforced L-shaped heat dissipation fins. If you just need to observe, the power interface is usually designed to be placed on the right side, here is a good review.
almost covers the entire motherboard's heat dissipation armor. The power supply part is a thickened fin-type extended heat sink, which is paired with MOSFET heat dissipation base (back heat dissipation), as well as direct-touch thermal heat pipes, efficient thermal gaskets and metal armor on the back, forming the entire heat dissipation system. Of course, you cannot forget all the M.2 heat dissipation armor designs.
The biggest change in AMD this time is that the processor has changed from the PGA pin type in the past to the LGA contact type package. Now, there is no need to worry about the processor pins being bent anymore, haha! AMD yes. This time, the standard pin of the LGA1718 is divided into two halves, and the humanized design is still continuing. This time, you can directly use the AM4 standard radiator. Simply put, the old radiator can also be used.
MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War motherboard adopts a larger E-ATX board type, so you see the M.2 SSD installation bit designed next to the memory. It also adopts a real tool-free installation design, and its M.2 frost armor is also thickened. Zen4 motherboards only support DDR5, and there is no DDR4 standard. At the same time, it brings the latest AMD EXPO protocol, which supports one-click overclocking and is very convenient. 4 DDR5 memory slots, maximum 128G dual channels, supporting OC frequencies up to 6600+MHz.
M.2 is all covered with frost armor, and it is all double-sided "sandwich" design, so there is no need to worry about the heat dissipation effect. As a flagship motherboard, MSI MEG X670E ACE God of War all support 5.0 channels. After all, there is also an armor design. The first one is still directly connected to the CPU and supports PCIE 5.0X16 channels.
Let’s introduce the I/O area of God of War. There are 3 physical buttons designed on the top, namely the smart mode button, the U-free BIOS button and the BIOS clear button. In terms of interfaces, it can be said to be a complete dominant: 3 Type-C interfaces, the following two support USB3.2 Gen2 x2, and the top supports USB3.2 Gen2 and DP output. There are also 8 USB3.2 interfaces, one of which supports U-free BIOS. The 10 Gigabit wired network card and WIFI 6E wireless network card support 5.1 channel output. In general, the motherboard at this price can be equipped with almost all the products.
[XPG S840 and S11]
XPG Winglong S11 SSD does not come with cooling armor. In fact, the slightly mainstream motherboard cooling armor is now fully covered, so it doesn’t matter whether there is or not. The length specification is 2280 and the size is about 0.5*23.5mm. This solid-state drive adopts a single-sided layout, and all the storage particles are placed on one side. The main control of
XPG Winglong S11 is Lianyun MAP1202A, which adopts a cache-free solution design, after all, the price is here. It supports the third generation Agile ECC+4K LDPC technology and NVMe 1.4 protocol, so its overall performance is still very excellent.
You can see that the PCB has 4 memory particles on a single side, with a single capacity of 256GB and the number is NH14TAA144256G.
[ZOTAC (ZOTAC) RTX3090 Apocalypse OC 24G]
ZOTAC (ZOTAC) RTX3090 Apocalypse OC 24G graphics card Boost frequency has reached 1725MHz, and the power supply materials are 16+4 phase specifications, TDP350W, as for other parameters such as 24GB GDDR6X video memory, I believe everyone is familiar with them, so I won't go into details here.
In addition, this SOTAC RTX3090 Apocalypse OC 24G graphics card does a pretty good job in cooling. It has a huge heat dissipation module composed of 7 heat pipes and 3 fans on the front. In addition to the metal back plate, there are two additional small fans on the back, which handles the heating problem of the video memory on the back of the RTX 3090 well.
interface is very rich, with 3DP and 1HDMI, which fully meet daily usage needs.
five heat pipe design has excellent heat dissipation effect, and even when it is fully loaded, the temperature is around 70℃.
[Installation Experience]
The entire installation process will not be displayed one by one here. Fix the iCUE H170i ELITE LCD water cooling on the top. Then install the motherboard and graphics card, and install a fan on the side to improve the heat dissipation effect. If it is on the top, make the air duct more natural!
I would like to say that the transparent window here can be designed larger so that the power supply can be displayed better.
Installation is convenient and can be said to be very easy to complete. Let’s see if the effect after lighting up is particularly cool. Especially the lighting is relatively unified, so it looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
The front effect display is black, so the color of the glass is a bit dark, which still has some impact on the lighting effect. After removing the front panel, the effect is obviously different.
The effect of cold head is particularly good? After the installation is completed, I stared at this cold head for a full minute, haha!
[Dark light effect display]
[MSI MPG321UR-QD]
MSI MPG321UR-QD is a flagship display under MSI. It has 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and supports HDR600. The panel's material has a higher cost and more difficult training QLED (quantum dot technology). The P3 color gamut can reach 97%, which can be said to be both literary and military. Moreover, it has a complete functional interface and strong expansion. It can be said that if you have a sufficient budget, such a monitor is completely your first choice.
【iCUE】
Corsair's iCUE control software does not need to be introduced too much! If you have a full set of Corsair products, the lighting effect will be very Ness. Accurately identify the H170i water cooling and iCUE Commander Core smart RGB lighting controller, as well as my Corsair keyboard.
software can control the speed mode of the fan, the lighting effect, and even control the display mode of the lamp beads.
water-cooled display screen can also be set. The effect shown above is the built-in modes, and of course it also supports customization, such as dynamic pictures or static pictures display. The data of the display can also be changed, such as CPU load, GPU fan speed temperature, cool liquid temperature, etc.

[Summary]
First of all, thank you for watching. This Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB case, as a flagship product, did not disappoint me. However, here is a piece of advice. When moving, you must do what you can. You must pay attention to the poor waist. This case is really too heavy after adding hardware.
