Included Lighting Node PRO: This turns the 680X into a smartcase and allows you to control and synchronize RGB lighting through iCUE software across all iCUE compatible products including fans, RGB LED light strips, DDR4 memory, keyboards, mice and more. A 360mm Radiator and 240mm radiator will fit top and front, but you have to mount your fans on the inner side, and room for pipe runs is very limited, especially if you plan on mounting the XD5 on the front. If you do happen to go for front and top mounted radiators, you will find that you will have limited mounting choices for your XD5. Removable top, front, floor and PSU dust filters: Keep your system looking great long after your build is finished.

High-speed USB 3.1 Gen-2 Type-C front panel connector puts future-proof connectivity within easy reach. A vertical GPU mount puts your graphics card center stage, perfect for showing off custom GPU cooling or your latest upgrade. Also, I am planning on using soft tubing, only because it is my first build and I want to make it easier on myself, and I believe it allows for a little wiggle room here and there. I more or less went the route of the "reference build guide" for the 680X. You can see the photos below, I didn't have room for the XD5 pump in the main chamber mainly because of the front XR5 360mm radiator. I ended up putting the XD5 in the "ugly" side of the case (realized I should have maybe used a 45° fitting on the outlet after I filled the loop, also cable management wasn't done at the time of the photo).The glass pane at the top can be easily removed using the four knurled screws and the side window is no problem either. It is magnetically held in place. The door can be opened via the rear hinge. Only one screw must be loosened, if the disk is to be completely removed. However, the windscreen cannot be removed. Install up to 8x 120mm or 7x 140mm fans for massive cooling potential, with room to mount up to four radiators. Outstanding High Airflow Cooling: Four cooling fans and Direct Airflow Path layout delivers cool air to your PC’s hottest components. The Crystal 680X is designed for high airflow while retaining the iconic Crystal Series aesthetic. To achieve this, we have mounted the panels 7mm further from the chassis than in previous Crystal Series cases. For those who prefer the style of Crystal Series, CORSAIR has included an extra pair of top panel shorter rubber spacers Three tool-free 3.5” drive mounts in a modular drive cage: Installed from the rear, the cage can be removed entirely

There is more than enough pure cooling power available due to the built-in radiators and the fans should also be more than suitable for this. Even if the components generate a lot of waste heat, we should get this under control with this and with almost inaudible fans. The 680X comes pre-fitted with 3x LL20 RGB fans for improved aesthetics. Extensive air and water cooling options are included as you may install up to 8x 120mm or 7x 140mm fans for proper cooling potential, with room to mount up to four radiators – including one 360mm. It's also equipped with magnetic dust filters on all intake fans which allows for easy building and maintenance. Custom builds needn’t be cluttered - a distinctive dual-chamber design makes it incredibly easy to assemble an immaculate system that keeps cables tidy and out of view. A few things to note, I wasn't sold on the vertical mounting of the GPU, but I love the way it looks in your setup, what kind of PCIe Riser Cable are you using? I want one that will be compatible with PCIe 4.0 since I have it and wouldn't want to abandon it for aesthetics only.Three Tempered Glass Windows to Show off your Hardware: Fitted in the front, roof, and a hinged easy-access side panel door.
As you can see a vertically mounted GPU is essential if using the XG7, and front mounted XD5. The GPU and Pump/Res will overlap. The CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB and the CORSAIR Carbide Series 678C are available immediately from the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors, as well as direct from the CORSAIR webstore. And now for the sad part, I don't think I flushed my radiators well enough and didn't bother flushing with a pump or filtration system before installing them, and now I believe my XG7 and XC7 are acting as filters for whatever was left in the radiators.Top 240/280mm fan mounts: The top cover can house 2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans, with room for a 240mm/280mm radiator. Easily install up to 3x 3.5in and 4x 2.5in drives in tool-free drive mounts, for high-capacity, flexible storage configurations. Bottom 120/140mm fan mounts: The bottom can house 2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans, with room for a 240/280mm radiator. High-resolution images of the CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB and the CORSAIR Carbide Series 678C can be found at the links below: For my below configuration I have a top and bottom mounted 240mm rad. I intend to change the air flow soon to find the optimum.
