Cooler Master HAF X Full Tower Chassis Review

BundleIf you’re not already sitting down, we advise you to do so as this case packs a punch when it comes to accessories. First up we have the ever simple installation guide that features diagrams and pictures and includes thorough detail on getting your components installed and running inside this case.

Also included in the box is a speaker for installing onto your motherboard header, cable ties to help tidy things up inside the case, an 8-pin power extension lead due to the sheer size of the case and location of the eATX power connector as well as a USB converter cable. The USB converter cable can be used opposed to the blue USB 3.0 cables which connect the front panel USB ports to the rear I/O. Instead you can connect the USB connectors directly to a motherboard header if you wish, but from the looks of things, the header is for USB 1.1/2.0 so we really advise against this.

Due to the size of this case, and we aren’t kidding, it truly is huge, four included casters are supplied to install onto the bottom of the chassis as well as including the relevant screws for an easy installation.

Other screws that are included are power supply screws, motherboard standoffs, some extra thumbscrews, relevant optical drive and hard drive screws and a handy socket tool to tighten the motherboard standoffs.

There is also an optional graphics card support bracket which can be used with two functions in mind. The first being as a GPU support for heavier and longer cards, whilst the second function involves the installation of a suitable 80x15mm fan to assist in cooling your graphics card.
