A few weeks ago Corsair introduced their new Carbide 600 Series cases and now the company is ready to add yet another model to the series. With the new Carbide 400 series, Corsair introduces two different cases, where one is called “Quiet” and the other goes by the name “Clean”. In this article we're going to have a close look at the Clean version however the main difference between the two only concern side panel and noise dampening materials.
At a first glance the Carbide 400C is an elegant case with rather simple yet unusual design. Unlike with the Carbide 600, Corsair is only using metal and plastic on this case and there are no aluminum parts. The Carbide 400C Clean is a mid-tower case offering enough space even for multi-GPU systems. The front doesn't feature any large openings and there are only a few small air intake holes, which help with cooling. Like the Graphite 760T we've reviewed quite some time ago, Corsair decided to equip this case with a huge and easily removable window made from plexiglass. On the Carbide 400C the overall quality of the window has been improved by adding two big metal strips, which improve the stiffness. The I/O connectors are placed at the top of the case and we find two USB 3.0 ports and two classic 3.5mm audio jacks. |
