#Define decibel update#

This stands out as the one obvious update that hasnвЂ™t been made to the case, but never fear: Fractal announced the Connect D1 front I/O kit alongside the R6. ItвЂ™s an improvement over past ModuVentв„ў designs (plastic lids that didnвЂ™t really deserve a trademarked name), but it could be executed better.ДЇront I/O includes four USB slots, none of which are type C.

The steel plate was extremely hard to separate from the filter the way the manual said to, even with judicious use of a flathead screwdriver, but was a little easier to pop off from the вЂњwrongвЂќ side. It doesnвЂ™t pop out all the way, though, and needs to be lifted from inside the case, which makes it feel a little pointless. The whole sandwich unlatches and lifts slightly when a button on the rear of the case is pressed, similar to the side panel detachment on the H700i. With the steel plate on, the top is completely closed with it removed, the top is completely open except for the filter. The top panel of the R6 is composed of two layers: a standard mesh filter, and a steel plate (backed with acoustic foam) clipped over it. Cable management is decent, but thereвЂ™s so much space inside the PSU shroud that itвЂ™s hardly worth worrying about. GNвЂ™s Steve may think rubber grommets are a waste of money, but FractalвЂ™s have a clever zig-zag pattern that allows small cables to be routed subtly. Motherboard installation can be a little cramped without removing the hard drive cages, but thereвЂ™s still a generously-sized grommeted cutout above the motherboard for the CPU power connector, typically a weak point for compact cases. ThereвЂ™s no wasted space on the interior of the R6. Side panel mechanisms that donвЂ™t suck are always welcome, and that goes double for glass. This applies to the tempered glass panel as well, which means no holes in the glass with Frankenstein bolts through them. With the screws removed, the panels can be hinged outwards a few degrees before fully coming off. The side panels are fastened with thumbscrews, but these are optional and mostly to keep things secure during shipping-the panels lock into place tightly enough without them.

Other than the full glass side panel, the case is absolutely a Fractal design (a Fractal Design design?): square, blank, and modern, with vents along the front edge. The dark versions come with 33% tinted glass, while the white versionвЂ™s glass is clear, a refreshing change from white cases with tinting so dark that everything looks grey. Our review sample was just вЂњblack,вЂќ which means white accents on the PCI covers and fan blades. Black, blackout, white, and gunmetal versions of the case are available, both with and without tempered glass. The R6 is surprisingly heavy: 12.4kg is a couple kilos heavier than its predecessor, which primarily comes down to the glass, but the steel side panels weigh just as much.
