The 6500 and 2500 Series are compatible with new reverse connector motherboards
CORSAIR has once again made headlines by entering the dual chamber PC case sector. Leveraging the superior direct airflow and robust performance characteristics of its predecessors, the 680X and 280X, the newly introduced 6500 and 2500 Series usher in a new era of customization possibilities. The 6500 series, with its roomy mid-tower frame, is perfect for creating a high-performance desktop, while the more compact 2500 series suits micro ATX configurations perfectly. Their dual chamber structures facilitate an easier assembly process, ensuring effective cooling and a sleek, professional appearance. Featuring compatibility with the innovative reverse connector motherboards, these cases offer the flexibility to switch between fully meshed airflow or tempered glass sides, along with a variety of both practical and visually appealing add-ons, signifying a significant advancement in dual-chamber case technology.
The introduction of reverse connector motherboards transforms PC assembly. These boards, including models like the ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero, feature strategically placed connectors behind the motherboard tray, streamlining the building process and achieving a virtually cable-free aesthetic in the main case compartment. Integration with the CORSAIR iCUE LINK ecosystem enhances this clean look, facilitating seamless connections between fans and internal components and minimizing the need for various cables and connectors.
The 6500D AIRFLOW and 2500D AIRFLOW models are engineered for superior cooling, equipped with mesh panels on the front, side, roof, and bottom to accommodate the airflow demands of high-performance components. For enthusiasts who favor aesthetics, the 6500X and 2500X models are designed to impress, showcasing your setup through two clear tempered glass panels.
By separating cooling and cable management areas, the dual-chamber design allows for more direct airflow to heat-intensive components. The 6500D AIRFLOW and 2500D AIRFLOW support up to four radiator mounting locations, offering extensive cooling versatility, while the 6500X and 2500X can accommodate three radiators, ensuring effective cooling for even the most demanding builds.
The 6500 and 2500 Series come packed with features designed for user convenience, including CORSAIR’s new Quiktur fan screws for easy installation, tool-free front panels, fabric pull tabs, and flexible doubleshot grommets, all crafted for ease of use. These cases also offer extensive customization options, such as alternative wooden and aluminum panels, vertical GPU mounts, and more, all available through the CORSAIR webstore.
“We have a strong legacy to uphold with respect to dual chamber cases, and we really wanted to up the ante to make these the most attractive cases to build in,” said Aaron Neal, Director of DIY Product Marketing at CORSAIR. “Fans of our 680X and 280X will find that we honor that legacy while adding in plenty of new features that vastly improve the PC building experience.”
For anyone planning a new PC build, be it a mid-tower or SFF configuration, the 6500 or 2500 series cases are the go-to choice. To achieve peak radiator cooling efficiency, pairing these cases with the latest iCUE LINK RX Series fans is recommended.
