Building a system inside the iCUE 220T RGB was pretty straight forward, although some adaptions were required to get the job done. The first thing to go was the HDD bay under the PSU shroud. The Corsair PSU I’m using wasn’t modular, so it was just in the way for storage of cables. I could have moved it forward, but that would also mean removing the bottom front fan. It’s a pro and con scenario, but at least it is designed to deal with it.
The RGB of those fans is stunning though, so obviously I didn’t want to remove them. I thought I would snap an extra picture here to show you how they’re cycling through colours on their default setting.
There’s plenty of room in here, with good width for wider graphics cards and even two GPUs if you have the right cards and motherboard. The vertical GPU cable pass-through is handy, but quite far back.
I did use the bottom shroud as PSU cable storage. You can see a few bits on show here. However, a few extra cable ties would likely tidy that up easily enough. That large cut-out is there to free up room for radiators in the front too, which is handy.
It’s not a hugely long PC case, so GPU length is limited a little. However, the 1070 Ti I used isn’t exactly tiny, so only the extremely long cards out there may conflict; remember, measure twice buy once.
There’s a good amount of space for a fan or AIO cooler in the back too. I suspect the top mounts are good for fans only unless you can get a very slim radiator and fans in there. Conflict with the motherboard VRM heatsinks is likely though.
Large CPU coolers aren’t too much of an issue either. Albeit a Noctua D15 may struggle to fit, but you’re hardly limited to low-profile models either.
It really does look clean and tidy in there. Plus, with all that white metal, the lighting from those fans illuminates the interior beautifully.
With all the panels back in place and the case up on my desk, it looks even more gorgeous. The front panel mesh is a truly stunning design. Not only does it show off the RGB really well, but it also breaks it up so it’s not all up in your face.
The diffused look is really nice, albeit the crystal clear glass panel throws out plenty of light on its own.
As I said, Corsair was nice enough to include an extra set of SP120 RGB PRO fans. These are the same fans included in the iCUE 220T RGB. They also include the RGB 6-port hub we say in the rear of the case.
Three fans, one hub, it’s as simple as that. Albeit, I don’t need the hub this time, as we have three spare ports on the included on with the iCUE 220T RGB. So, let’s keep them outside of the case, so I can show you a little preview of how they look in the video below.
