Product Information

We're making continuous improvements to the compatibility checker and would love to hear your feedback!

Because the fan controller only contains 9 (6xnon-PWM|4xPWM) headers I opted to plug one case fan into a fan header on the motherboard. As usual, we’re starting with only temperatures for the Define R6 in different configurations, then we’ll look at comparative data with other cases. Opening the top had a much less dramatic, but still significant impact on temperature, and average CPU temperature was 52.Practical, robust, powerful and ultra-designed, it will satisfy gamers looking for a top-of-the-range case. This is a newly standardized test for us, and helps determine how much headroom a case has to thermally improve its design. A metal cover obscures the drive from external view in the standard layout, like the Cooler Master C700P. Note the black noise dampening paneling; this is the same paneling on both sides of the case and contribute significantly to keeping the case quiet.

The conversion isn’t anything as dramatic as invertible cases like the Dark Base 900, but it’s also a little beyond just removing the hard drive cages. Use of these and any missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit from Klarna and other lenders. It also houses a Nexus+ Smart Hub, giving you superior control of six additional case fans and three extra PWM devices via your compatible motherboard.It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a Fractal case, but boy has it been worth the wait, as up for review today we have the brand new Define R6. The hard drive bays are held in place with one captive thumbscrew and a plastic tab that hooks into the chassis. Liquid cooling options offer incredible versatility with the Define R6, with support for radiators up to 420mm in the top, 360mm in the front and up to 280mm in the base of the chassis. Designed from the ground up, the Define R6 goes beyond iteration with a profound stride of innovation – a sizeable step forward from preceding models of the world-renowned Define Series.

It’s an improvement over past ModuVent™ designs (plastic lids that didn’t really deserve a trademarked name), but it could be executed better. The push button release for the top vent could be either a little less elaborate or a little more useful, but the fact that that’s the only (very minor) complaint with this case is a point in its favor. The spacious and fully adaptable framework of the Define R6 sports nine fan mounts, integrated PWM fan hub and support for radiators up to 420 mm, making it the perfect platform for building your dream water loop. Designed from the ground up, the Define R6 goes beyond iteration with a profound stride of innovation - the latest and largest step in the legacy of the world-renowned Define Series.

Black, blackout, white, and gunmetal versions of the case are available, both with and without tempered glass.
