Pros and cons

According to our computer case expert

  • Control the speed of the built-in fans yourself.
  • The housing is suitable for overclockers by the possibility of building water cooling.
  • There are 2 fans of 140 mm built-in.
  • This casing doesn't include a power source. See our bundles for the right power source.

Description

The Fractal Design Define R5 is for the gamer looking for a stylish and silent computer enclosure. The front hinges on both sides, so you place the housing against the wall. Thanks to sound-absorbing materials on the inside of the cabinet, you can watch a film without disturbed by loud fans after gaming. The 2 built-in, adjustable fans of 140 mm blow hot air directly out of the cabinet, preventing overheating and improving the durability of your components. Place up to 3 water coolers on the inside of the cabinet, with which you overclock your processor or video card. This way you play with a higher framerate per second. And remove the hard disk bracket then place your video cards up to 44 cm long.

  • A lot of space
  • Options for Drivecage

Beautiful cabinet, lots of installation space and room for cable management. If you only have an SSD, you can even remove the drive cage. Good dust filters present at the intake fans I have cats so that is necessary. Also insulation on the sides to dampen the sound. I specifically opted for the case without a case window, but if that's your thing, they also come with it.

For a dime on the first rank

  • Solid construction, without immediately being very heavy
  • hard drives good and easy to mount
  • Lots of space to hide cables
  • for a 3-fan water cooling radiator the external bays have to be removed. That's the only downside

I liked the Define S already, but I was looking for a cabinet in which I could hang a string of hard drives. The Define R5 offers that space, with easy slides for mounting the discs. The side panels open easily and the left panel even has a handy closure with a slide and only 1 screw. There was some space above the motherboard, so you can easily connect the CPU power supply. The width allows for almost any CPU cooling, only for a 3-fan water cooling the radiator takes the place of the external bays. If they had been a little lower, it wouldn't have been a problem. sound insulation ensures a slightly warmer but quieter cabinet. The two supplied fans are of excellent quality. It's no Noctua, but they're not that bad. For 125 euros you have a lot of cabinet in sides.
