Thermaltake Overseer RX-I Review

[flex06250]

does it support an asus P8P67 LE ?

[matawin2]

@flex06250 it it only supports mini atx and asshole pie

[vBDKv]

I would buy this if it wasn't so incredibly ugly and full of plastic. Over time, that plastic is going to make so much noise it'll drive you completely insane.

im have VIRGO 914

Thermaltake Overseer RX-I VS Coolermaster Storm Trooper?

[Carmaddude]

Debating on the Thermaltake Chaser or the Overseer. Which one should I get?

[hintingyou]

does the right side of the case open up as well? :)

[byDiceify]

@hintingyou don't think so :/

[TinPanduric]

Hello, I bought it yesterday. Just a question. Are the 3 more optional fans really needed ? Can you link me or something with every fan on in dark pls :)

[comneard55]

@TinPanduric probs about 11 12 max

lets just say its lighter than i though..

Im 15 and i can lift it and walk around with it quite easily.

Its a pretty nice case, if you want a good case, pretty small, and good functionality, i would get this.

[shaneanus]

I just brought this, cheers for the great review... Cheers

[rubatos]

Great review, thank you!

[ChaseWWinchester]

Great review. Thanks.

[Beckinzaleth]

hi !!! one question ...

can you hide cables with this case?

[vuckotadic]

@Beckinzaleth Yes

[robinZBG]

Shall I get this one? Cause the case I have is too small to fit my extra van, HD 6950 and an 5.1 audiocard in it. So I'm looking to buy a new case. Is this a good option for me? And it has USB 3.0 right?

[Wowmasta21]

@robinZBG You don't need a 5.1 Audio Card with an AMD HD 6950. The 6950 has 7.1 built in. 7.1 is better than 5.1..

[robinZBG]

@Wowmasta21 then how do I use it? There aren't any 5.1 or 7.1 plugs in my HD 6950. Just slots for the cables for my monitors. Sorry I'm kind of a noob in this stuff.

[nekzeht17]

@robinZBG hahaha...

[nekzeht17]

@nekzeht17 wowmasta21 was referring to the cards support for 7.1 or 5.1 audio so it means that the HDMI output of audio supports 7.1 and 5.1.... and i think you were thinking about the audio jacks, obviously there are no audio jacks on the graphic card because HDMI port already includes the transmission of video and audio data... so if you were thinking about audio jacks definitely it depends on your mother board...

[Cloud9Zone]

where can i buy one of those drives

[comneard55]

Is this case good if you want to take it to lans etc

[OmgImSue]

@comneard55 Not really, i mean it weighs about 15 kg.

[comneard55]

@OmgImSue hey man, i have bought this case, its pretty light??? i dont think its 15KG...

[OmgImSue]

@comneard55 Really? The site where I want to buy says it's 15kg. How much do you think it weighs?

[MsTheVK]

the graphic card looked like the Nvidia GTX 480 ...h got the same one lol

[MsTheVK]

i bought this one today =))))...its great!

[Defarnz]

Should i buy this for my Sabertooth 990FX?

[vuckotadic]

@Defarnz If you like it, why not?

[patrickkroppe]

Should I get this, or the nzxt phantom?

[GfXGodZ]

@patrickkroppe I've got the phantom, but after watching this I HAVE to get this case! It looks so much better than the phantom, and has a side window!

[wackojackgoff]

@patrickkroppe

phantom doesnt perform aswell in cooling but it does look cooler

[MyAltruistic]

very good review,as always.just giving an idea,why not you include some review of the cable management for the cases.just a little info/peek would do..cheers!

[hudcofudco]

I've actually got this case and i love it , granted that all my previous cases have been pretty much standard ones, it does look awesome and is well laid out and very functional, glad i got it :)

[diablo1105]

Good review. However, I prefer my FT02 over this case. Just installed the rest of the CP05 adapters onto the HDD bays so all hot-swap now :D

[1995bbboy]

will this case fit the gybibyte g1 assassin

[bloodgard]

@1995bbboy the assassin is a stand atx so yep

[Eumusic1]

Finally.Also reviewed here: bit-tech . net

[1995bbboy]

will this case fit a gygibyte g1 assassin???

[Pollack007]

is this better than the 650d?:p thanks

[AgentHydra]

@Pollack007 as far as airflow definitely, Obsidian cases are notorious for having terrible airflow (I know, I have a 650D). As far as features and aesthetics its pretty much subjective.

[Pollack007]

@AgentHydra ok thanks cause i have the 650D and my temps are good its just im thinking off upgrading and i dont know which case to get:PP

[VortezReviews]

@Pollack007 The 650D is in a different league really - btw if you like the Overseer check out Chaser MK1, personally I prefer this compared to Overseer.

[pharaoh9000]

@VortezReviews you say you like the chaser mk1 over this overseer... please explain why.

[VortezReviews]

@pharaoh9000 It looks better, has more features like fan control and for a little bit extra to me just seems a better option.

[0peppers]

@VortezReviews Hey mate I noticed you mounted the psu with the fan facing up. I get it was just a demo to see the system in the case but would you mount the psu with the fan facing up? I've seen people doing that and I don't get it. Isn't the fan intaking air? It makes more sense to mount it with the fan down doesn't it?

[VortezReviews]

@0peppers The fan is an intake - some prefer to have it draw in air from the underside of the case but personally many cases have little clearance here so there isn't much air going to be drawn in - also i know most cases have a filter but dust/dirt will be sucked up.

[0peppers]

@VortezReviews I see. Thanks for your reply. Although from what I see on the Overseer the feet are tall enough for clearance, unless you decide to place the case on the carpet wich would be a no no. I guess it's just a prefference.

[VortezReviews]

@0peppers Yeah exactly. Either way - it does the job!

[hevimetallimias]

@VortezReviews Does it matter a lot which way you mount it? I mean to PSU's & / or cases heat etc?

[KBest20]

Good review as usual, like the Chaser Mk1 more though.

[Nagby3]

who like blue mixed with red?

[TheGreatDefective]

@Nagby3 America. Britain. France. I could go on and on..

[Nagby3]

@TheGreatDefective i'm french but i hate this color mix

it isn't because it is on our flag that we all love it

[VortezReviews]

@Nagby3 The red is a motherboard LED ;) not the case!
