Corsair Obsidian 650D Gaming Case Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[driveandkill]

I always have to laugh when he fingers the gromets xD

[smirndirnz]

this or the nzxt switch 810 :O

[aeroaa2]

@smirndirnz i will personally go for this

[WALKERR360]

hahahahaa after seeing @candlejac 's comment and watching the video - when he was fingering the gromets i nearly died lool

[GhettoGopher]

Can a dual radiator fit in the top of the case?

[PotatisUtanSill]

@GhettoGopher There's room for 2 120mm or two 140mm. I assume your talking about a dual 120, so. Yeah, you should. But i don't know for certain.

[misdekpkac]

Gimme one

[CAsharp50]

have they updated the usb 3 cables to fit into the motherboard?

[couer1911]

I have had so many problems with this case. All 3 of the stock fans have failed within the first 2 weeks. The actual case design is very good but the fans are the cheapest I have ever seen. Bear in mind that this is a great case but you will HAVE to buy extra case fans.

[636Castle]

I wanna have a nerd out session with Linus one day. D:

[derbigpr500]

No air filter on intake 200mm fan?

[VvDragonheartvV]

@derbigpr500 Er. Did you watch the whole thing..? The front bezel is a filter itself. Removable. The top 200mm is an exhaust by default. Though Demi Flex has a filter should you swap that to intake.

[NerdyLikes]

Swap it like it's hot.

[zzzuicideee]

not that i have any room to talk but your skin contrasts with the wall ;)

[SpadeAce90]

i take it that this case is a mid tower

anyone can clarify?

[Dmanplayer723]

@SpadeAce90 yes it's a mid-tower case......

[Kagstrom2100]

I just can't stop looking on this video, i so badly want this cace :(

[angryaznman]

@Kagstrom2100 i want this kase as well

[9ggubZprod]

@Kagstrom2100 Just buy it already.

[Kagstrom2100]

@9ggubZprod Ya for like 225 Dollars!

[9ggubZprod]

@Kagstrom2100 Quality costs, lol.

[Kagstrom2100]

@9ggubZprod Ya :(

[UpYoursNightmare]

are those adapters for USB3.0 currently available, and are they in the box or do you have to buy them seperately? I know corsair and they are really good, and i do expect them to deliver it with the case. I just wanted to be sure.

[couer1911]

@UpYoursNightmare They are available but do not come in the box.

[VvDragonheartvV]

@UpYoursNightmare You need to buy the adapter seperately. Far as I know they don't come with it. I have the 650D but first gen model. Not sure if the latest ones come with it, but far as I know, no.

[rawrmadmonkey]

8:33 super funny

[Willasap43]

Whats the little box under the hdd cages for?

[MultiSnoopDawg]

corsair 650d or 600t white???

[Willasap43]

@MultiSnoopDawg There quite similar, you just have to decide what looks best, and the 650D is better for water cooling(Higher Roof)

[MultiSnoopDawg]

@Willasap43 But aint the 600t more out of plastick=more scratches and bigger likely to break? I do like the white one more in looks, but for my inside i use a mother board thats mostly black but a little green, and does white and green fit? in that case, 600t is my way. Thx for help :D

[Errick32]

Probably the best overall case out. It's big, beautiful, great features, great quality, & it will hold just about any part on the market

[UrbanZooKeeper]

You should at least take it out to dinner before testing the grommets like that...

[desertfox1792]

Does anyone know if they still have a pass through cable for USB 3.0 or standard mobo headers?

[VickeLang]

lol seriousface at 8:34

[Ri1seAgainst]

500r



[Denis28343]

03:25 Че он там про русских говорит?

[easy4440]

like your show:)

[candIejac]

Oh yea baby, finger those gromets, mmmmmm baby.

[rzmonk76]

keep up the good work

[Filoz64]

why dosnt carzy russian talk... but he talk when he films with esther :L

[olestokk]

@Filoz64 in some new videos he talk, he says "im not crazy!... -.-"

[ZZPiranhaZZ]

HOLY CRAP IM WEARING THE SAME SHIRT AS YOU ARE WEARING

[PeekMePlay]

sooo ugly

[Filoz64]

swap it like its HAWWT swap like its HAWWT

[Syrius187]

The look at 8:34 !!! LMFAO

[schabadas1]

this or the 600t?

[InverseBlue]

gonna order this soon, how much does it weigh?

[TheRealLyricsGuy]

Which should I get?

Corsair 650D or Cooler Master HAF-X ??

[wowalex94]

@TheRealLyricsGuy HAF-X :)



[TheLarhf]

@TheRealLyricsGuy Depends, do you like a slick, clean look or an over-the-top "rough" look?

[flashfith]

This is a better case than 800D. Minus the size.

[oboyy]

you forgot the pop-out lid on the front for fan cleaning

[KggFaTaL]

@oboyy You didn't watch the entire video...

[oboyy]

@KggFaTaL The guy in the video was presenting the outside of the case and missed it so I assumed he wasn't well informed about his job and stopped watching the video

[BMF123321]

is this better than 800d?

[TheWretchedWorld]

@BMF123321 for aircooling definitely

[TheKillerFabivs]

@BMF123321 Of course not.

[ChickenWln]

Can i use Gigabyte x79-UD5 with this?

[IAmDaiCarmuhh]

@ChickenWln No, that Motherboard is Extended ATX, this case only fits ATX and Micro ATX. Good luck.

[eventfularse]

"Give me a moment here guys" *stares threateningly at the camera man*

[JonasAndStuffDK95]

Would this case be okay for watercooling`?

[Triffgits]

@JonasAndStuffDK95 I'd say yes, since it supports a 240mm radiator on the top, and has a bunch of grommets around the case for tubing and whatnot. I don't have mine yet, but I've looked around a a whole lot at reviews and I'm absolutely going to buy this case.

[Triffgits]

@JonasAndStuffDK95 Oh uh, I'd also recommend taking a look at the Carbide 500R, I think it's got a nicer enclosure for 240mm radiators.

[To0t]

@JonasAndStuffDK95 yes, the top fits a double 120mm radiator, the front fan area can also mount a rad. reservoir can be houses in the drive bay area. and the pump can be attached where ever you want

[UrHideless]

This or 600T?

[Triffgits]

@UrHideless I think this one has a little more clearance at the top than the 600T, but as he said in the video, "Don't quote me on that."

Overall, I'm prettsure this case is designed to be the best of the 700D and the 600T all in one nice little package.

[Triffgits]

@UrHideless *Pretty sure.

[mobibrandon]

Yeah paul is great, but Linus actually unboxes the items then has a first look. That makes the experience better I think. Paul mostly unboxes off camera then reviews.

[DARQMX]

I like this guy kinda but that dude from newegg destorys him as he is a lot more prepared. Linus is just funny to watch cause he is dumbfounded a lot. Haham

[1john1992]

@DARQMX Linus isnt scripted, newegg could be paid for all we know to say what he says.

[achojj]

"So that, did that." lol

[kewie727]

THOSE GROMET HOLES LOOK PERFECT FOR MY PERSONAL NEEDS

[madmadmax321]

would the XSPC Rasa 750 RX240 WaterCooling Kit fit in this case?

[AlpinestarsR6]

Which is better this or the Cooler Master HAF X?

[FpsMercenary]

great fan cooled case, if you was go to wc i would recommend the 800D but for a nice fan build this is a great case. it also comes down to how much you want to spend on a pc if your determind to go wc i can only say 800D because of the space and design of the case.

[buonchieuphoco]

I used to think Canadians are on the same side with the Russian until I watch this :)) so funny ROFL

[JJROADSTA]

'swap it like its hot' LOVE IT <3

[To0t]

have this case and the wiremanagement is the best thing about it

[don2xify]

i'm in love with this case..i was gonna buy from cyberpowerpc but they took this case off the menu..so i'm buying from newegg instead.. lol

[MrTast]

Are you capable of using two 6990s in this one?

[NahkaZ]

Swap it like its hot

[604mistermagicman]

how does this case compare to the corsair 500R carbide case? ive seen reviews for both and in terms of internal features it seems very similar!!

[themetalgod50]

@604mistermagicman the 650d is a mid tower but i think its more than a full tower because you gat alot of plat to work inside

sory for my englich im french.

[themetalgod50]

@themetalgod50 place



[TheHaxis]

@604mistermagicman I got this not that long ago, and I was seriously surprised (pleasantly) at the size of it. It's a really nice case and quite frankly is HUGE on the inside. I'd almost say it's a small full tower.

@MrTast Easily, I'm pretty 6990s fit without a problem, but even if they don't, you can take out one of the hard drive cages to give you more room.

[fswah6]

I love my 650D :D

[cinderbleh]

get freaky with those grommets

[MrShadowFate]

can you change the front fan to another 200mm?

[laxzzzen]

Swap it like it's hot :D

[Catatonicwater]

No top dust filter :(

[MrOwlgoesw00t]

@Catatonicwater Why would there be a dust filter on the top? The dust and hot air goes up through the top, why would you want to keep the dust in? You didn't think that one through did you? :P

[Catatonicwater]

@MrOwlgoesw00t Given that all other openings are filtered, there really shouldn't be any dust in the machine. I would have liked a df on top for when the machine is off and just sitting. Dust is sure to fall onto and through the top mesh... that's when you will get dust in your machine.

[Gun4HireGFX]

HEY FUCKING REJECT you forgot to mention you can click the grill on the front external of the case to access another fan filter for the front 200mm fan

[WNT2CUP]

>>>08:35<<< *Death Stare @ Camera Man* 

[sotirispa]

make a review for CORSAIR 500R

thanks in advance :D

[Syrius187]

@sotirispa There is one by him...

[PCGamerL4D]

Building my new rig in this :D sexy case

[nousername21]

This is my next case!

[mynonblondes]

Can you screw in a fan on the thumb screws for the removable Hard Drive Cage ?

[J0hnCl0sed]

this one or IAN LI PC-8NWX

[vaughnscheunemann]

nice case, but I liked the 700D better. Just seems cleaner.  This is nice to.

[s4m5on]

booo i wanted to put two noctua 120mm or 140mm fans on the front of the case for intake corsair makes good products but I wouldnt call them a fan manufacturer

[peterdoa1]

not worth the price

[LikMiDik]

Awesome review, this case will be the one I use for my next build. Also is the top piece removable?

[SnipeMeNot]

swap it like its hot hahahahaha

[Vloeibaarstikstof]

Fit my GA-990FXA-UD3 in this case ?

[Hunt3r2k]

@twagsire1 if u push 4 he just say poooo

[putty1574]

@Hunt3r2k He said HOLD 4.

[GrazerPitbull]

Mich würde interessieren ob mann an der front hier nur ein 200mm fan einbauen kann oder ob hier ein 120 oder 140mm Fan auch geht ????

Mfg

[KamikazeKite]

Love how he manhandles em grommets

[TheVers1on]

Hold 4 for sex.

[TrolleLOL]

@TheVers1on

Hold 8 for fisting!

[Pollack007]

@TheVers1on I held 4 and im still a virgin:(( do i hold F4?:)

[crazy88boss]

lol, Linus is so mean to the camera guys. Stupid hench, pay attention to what I'm doing or I won't feed you!

[Xxd3cayxX]

@crazy88boss lol, That is so funny. I was watching the other videos and notice he bosses around the camera guys

[TheRealLyricsGuy]

@crazy88boss When did he say that?

[FedoraFTW]

why is this case off newegg?

[TylertheGeek28]

@FedoraFTW it isn't now, maybe they ran out of stock ? if your watching Linus u should buy it from NCIX ; )

[FedoraFTW]

@TylertheGeek28 it says it's deactivated, i dont live in Canada. better off with Amazon

[TylertheGeek28]

@FedoraFTW yeah they just ran out of stock

[soul516]

Should I buy this case, my friend is selling his to me for ~$100. I currently have the Cooler Master 310 and I'm very(!!) interested in this case.

[sparten9999]

@soul516 $100 is a steal for this case i just got 1 for a build im doing for my brother but it looks so nice. my personal build is in the 600t but after seeing this case im a bit jealous and might ask him to switch

[soul516]

@sparten9999 Ye this case is super nice looking. I'm not that into windowed cases, but when the rest looks like a dream I don't think the windows will bother me that much. The 600t is a good looking case as well, but it's not as sleek as this one or the 800D. And the airflow is really good and even better if the HDD bay is removed.

[kerwin65]

your an idiot.....

[TiT4Z]

will h100 fit in this case?

[eskis9743]

@TiT4Z yes it would, it can support a double rad at the top

[spikemaul]

Will the Corsair H100 fit in the top if this case?

[mikedoerfler]

@spikemaul

yes, though I would recommend you get the H80 for airflow purposes

[eskis9743]

@spikemaul yes it would

[Mr1Puff]

Just built my computer using this case. I had to build my computer in under 2 hours and had to pack it within the two hours. When I arrive in my dorm at college I will defiantly straighten my cords and do a better job than I did. Watching this video makes me feel horrible.

[FubuMushu]

Quit fingering the case!

[Tobaman111]

Just bought it. Thanks for the review!

[ComradeNF]

Why are you fingering the gromits? 3:58

[PsalmLove]

BEAUTIFUL CASE

[Smeire1]

This case or the Cooler Master 942 HAF X ?

Why?

[EndlessElusion]

hey linus do you know if this can fit a Radeon 6970 i have a mid tower case now that fits my Radeon 6970 snugly and i want to get a new case but i dont want to buy a case if my BEAST of a card cant fit into it

[stjo555555]

fuckin ugly case.i prefer nzxt case.look better and much bigger

[themasterbaitor69]

finger those grommits!

[CaseyTheDrummerBoy]

650D vs 600T?

[TutorialsPcBlog]

@CaseyTheDrummerBoy 650.

[stammusr]

@OMAHA2231:I don't want to

[OMAHA2231]

"why are you down there?" That's what she said :D

[AcidDaze]

Anyone know if these usb3 header adapters have been released by anyone yet?

[GreatGeneralUrsus]

00:26 that's what she said lol

[JacopoLecce93]

Huuuuuuuuuuuge!!! Ahaha Great review Linus as usual!!

[WeirdoMikey2T]

00:24 why are you down there?  hahaha

[stammusr]

keep pressing 4...

[OMAHA2231]

@stammusr troll.. go back under your bridge

[4628JP]

Of coarse, we end it with an SSD on top, but with the side panels and bevel completely off, along with the drive cages.

[parreapalol]

large graphics cards will fit with the hdd cages installed, but you can take out the one at the top and mount it at the side of the other if you want more cooling to the card/cards.

[unknowed1980]

which case is better for liquid cooling, this one 650D or the 800D?

i like this one because its midi-tower.

but most people use the 800D for watercooling.

i must get this one? or go for the 800D large one:)?

THNX

[abi2478]

@unknowed1980 depends, if you want to build an ultra water cooling (for whole pc parts. CPU, Grapichs card, chipsets, etc), obsidian 800D has a big space for em, but if you want to have a CPU only water cooling, 650D is enough

[unknowed1980]

@abi2478 ok thanks, so you say that if i want my 2x 6950 and my cpu watercooled the best solution is the 800D? or can i still have the 650D midi-tower?:) thanks again for quick response

[bundieberg]

cant wait to get mine :D

[X3meSc0p3r]

but,will it blend?

[Jdwill1014]

i love all the features of these corsair case but i just wish they where all i huge sqaure

[Jdwill1014]

linus got mad WAT R U DOING DOWN THERE!!!! lol

[Doggepe]

Just like the 800D we have all of our front panel connectors..

"What are you doing down there?!"

[MeAndLinux]

Thumbs up if you wont to have it white :P

[PancakesGaming]

@MeAndLinux Thumbs whore.

[MeAndLinux]

@PancakesGaming :DD
