For SSD mounts we have two dedicated SSD mounts right in the front which are easily removable and help to boast your priced storage drives through the tempered glass adding a bit more to the aesthetics. The cage has two tool less drive caddies which can be used to mount a 3.5" drive or even a 2.5" if required giving the MB500 a total of four storage drive options which should be enough for most people out there. Its aimed at mid to main stream gamers and so has four storage drive support, is light weight to carry along easily during LAN parties & with that nifty little RGB controller of its own it can give even the gamers still rocking the older DDR3 platforms a hint of RGB making the MB500 a more comprehensive case with widespread reach. For valorant hacks have the white LED illuminated power button in shape of the new CM logo, a reset button, audio jacks and a two USB 3.0 ports with no USB-C type which is alright since this is not a premium case and is aimed at main stream gamers and USB Type-C is still not a mainstream connection standard for devices.
My gripes from this case are small and limited, firstly we have only two USB ports in front and secondly the case is only available in one color option as I would've loved to see this case coming in another color way of pure black or maybe a pure white to amplify the whole RGB look. Now by using this connector which requires a SATA plug for power, all the RGB fans connected via the provided one to three RGB cable, one can control the lighting on the fans and make them change color and pattern using the reset switch on the front IO who's cable would be connected to the controller rather than the motherboard in this case. To be honest I'm really happy and surprised as to how simple the installation procedure was using the MB500 especially when it comes to wire management. We found a lead tone (flute), and I showed how I'd layer a melody on top of these other ones by laying down a simple two-bar line.
A thing worth keeping in mind here is that the front fascia is only vented at the bottom where the two 120mm fans are installed so in-case you plan to add three 120mm fans or go for a 360mm radiator in front the third fan on top would have almost no fresh air to suck in leaving is redundant so my advice would be that users of this case should stick with the stock two 120mm fans or can swap them out with two 140mm ones for optimum performance if required as anything more than that is not worth it. At the back the case sports the standard seven expansion slots along with a MasterFan Pro 120 Air Flow RGB fan. Only on exhaust MasterFan Pro 120 RGB is used & CPU cooler is the AMD Wraith RGB and its set to default settings via the BIOS while rest of the three case fans are directly connected to the molex connector. Also the front has support for radiators of upto 360mm but look close and we realize that even a push-pull here is possible as the PSU shroud leaves enough space for a radiator along with extra fans on the inside of the case since the other fans will rest between the metal frame of the chassis and the plastic front fascia.
Up Close with the Vengeance! We have with us the Vengeance LPX 16GB 3600Mhz kit rated at 18-19-19-39 at 1.35v along with the generic Airflow cooler which is backed up by two years of warranty. The Corsair Vengeance LPX Airflow is basically a bundle of the Vengeance LPX memory kit along with the Vengeance Airflow memory cooler. The Low Rider from Corsair now comes bundled with a cooler! I said ESPN2. From the commentators, to the organizers, to the ones competing for cash prizes over $50,000, you have to think that an opportunity like this is something that only comes once in a lifetime but it only feels like the beginning! Pricing of this bundle is not yet out but we'll update you once we have any words upon the same but its definitely expected to be lower than the two modules bought separately. The bundle comes in a grey box which is the signature color scheme of the Corsair Vengeance LPX Memory kits along with the rendered image of the RAM and product name neatly printed right and occupying most of the front fascia. Following the same trend Corsair decided to converge the two worlds together and bring out a bundle known as the Corsair Vengeance Airflow which thanks to Corsair India is on our table right now for review!
An atrociously small image of the Vengeance Airflow is at the left hand side, yeah right there that tiny little insect thing on the box you see, that's the cooler! Inside we have two 8GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX Memory, the Vengeance Airflow cooler, interchangeable color accent covers, two mounting brackets, speed control cable and a quick start guide. Open the box and you'll find yourself a cardboard case holding everything in place, greeting you with the quick start guide. All you'll miss is a decal from Corsair since everything else you need is right there in the box! We all know that Corsair is a brand that outshines when it comes to cooling devices for PC namely in the form of their Hydro series CPU liquid coolers and the same can be said for it memory kit lineups which has gems like the premium Dominator and the infamous Vengeance LPX.
