welcome to my unboxing of the Corsair Vengeance C70 I've received a lot of
0:12
requests to do a video about this particular chassis and oh well no let's
0:17
not look at that there we go uh okay so it's a case it comes in a box supports
0:23
up to six heart D okay let's go ahead and look at the other side ah this is
0:28
the military green color so this case do come in multiple colors and we are
0:32
getting the rugged coolest equipped
0:35
looking one with the military styling
0:38
now there's plenty of military sort of themed components out there particularly
0:43
on the motherboard side like isus is tough series um but we haven't really
0:48
seen a case that's really like military themed so I'm kind of looking at
0:52
motherboards like that going okay well that's like that's cool if they're doing
0:56
a complicated case mod but how does this address the needs of s of Joe gamer who
1:01
wants to you know throw his PC in something that looks like an ammo box
1:05
and go off to a l with it now we have something that makes
1:10
sense the C70 which uses um hard foam
1:16
which doesn't thrill me but it arrived
1:19
in one piece and it was uh air shipped as a single unit so probably fine based
1:25
on uh based on that totally scientific test oh that's weird the plastic is on
1:31
upside down all right it's kind of cool I was
1:35
sort of expecting the military green themed looking thing to be sort of
1:40
cheesy but it's actually not that's that's not bad actually that's very
1:44
cool we just get this plastic off here
1:47
and then we can start taking a closer look at this new case from Corsair it
1:51
comes with a manual which you may or may not need I mean their cases are so easy
1:56
to build in that it's rarely a factor so I'm not too worried about that so
2:00
carrying handles right here on the top
2:03
Let's test them shall
2:06
we if the case had broken off I would have had a broken foot and this case
2:11
would be getting a very poor review looks like we're good so you can
2:16
see these are attached very securely six rivets and there's quite a lot of
2:20
overlap in the metal here and the metal surrounding it these are just plastic
2:25
here so they're uh they're not cold they're reasonably comfortable to hold
2:28
on to and they snap into
2:31
place fire the Catapult okay don't fire
2:34
the Catapult all right uh external Impressions so we've got dual 120 mm fan
2:39
support in the top with little rubber grommets which are going to keep the
2:43
noise from being terrible uh full support for the h100 so the spacing is
2:48
right for dual radiators which is a must these days any case that doesn't support
2:52
a dual radiator and isn't like a silence oriented case is probably like not as
2:58
great as cases that do um 120 mm fan in
3:01
the back water cooling holes in the back don't use these use an internal water
3:05
cooling setup since it supports it just fine check this out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight
3:10
PCI expansion slots bottom mounted power
3:13
supply and IO Shield that is a great color on this thing though I actually
3:18
really like the paint color they've gone with here it's a very dark military
3:22
green as opposed to being a little bit on the Lighter Side there's a fan filter
3:26
that you can also easily remove and clean and there's actually another one
3:31
from the front so Corsair has learned
3:34
from their experience with the H or with the 800d where it had that really long
3:39
fan filter but by the time you like put it on the floor next to your wall you
3:43
can't actually you know reach and get it out because it's so long so they've got
3:47
an additional one from the front so that the length is only half in the uh in the
3:52
back and I put it in in correctly so I'll need to make sure that I get that
3:57
in there bottom feet are rubberized spey
4:00
things that are going on here and uh let's see oh yeah let's look at
4:06
the front oh that's cool I hadn't actually seen this yet so power switch
4:10
this a red switch that looks like that hard drive LED headphones microphone two
4:13
USB 3.0 ports and the reset switch with a little cover there it's
4:20
adorable that's so cool okay uh side
4:24
window has dual 120 or 140 mm mounting
4:29
holes for for case fans and you can
4:32
decide what you want to do there won't be any radiator mounting here though which wouldn't make sense anyway and
4:37
hopefully you can see can you see the color okay in the camera looks all right
4:41
okay uh let's go ahead and take side
4:44
panels off so these are like ammo box style side latches which again is a very
4:49
nice touch okay inside oh fully painted
4:53
inside too look at that see great attention to detail even the parts that
4:57
no one will ever see like these little folds here everything is totally painted
5:02
very very nice Corsair kudos to you on that one and the inside
5:09
so we don't find anything all that surprising this is uh fairly similar
5:14
whoops these apparently okay well these fell out in shipping but that's not the
5:18
end of the world just go ahead and slide those back in um nothing revolutionary
5:23
in terms of the internal layout this is very similar to the uh shoot which one
5:28
is this similar to reminds me of the uh
5:31
550d actually let just have a
5:35
look looks little something like that yes very similar to the 550d
5:41
although there are some differences so for example they've got two 120 mm
5:45
cooling fans here in addition to space
5:48
to mount additional 120 mm cooling fans
5:52
in the front of the chassis so check this out just pull off the front here at
5:56
least we're going to try and pull off the front we might have to take off way
5:59
to go slick uh that's why they call him
6:02
slick slick okay uh oh sorry about that
6:06
by blowing out the side panel we get a little bit of extra room for cable
6:10
management on the other side okay so
6:13
taking off both side panels now and I don't remember why I did that oh yeah
6:16
right so I could remove the front puzel there we
6:21
go two and three there we go so here on
6:25
the front you can see we can mount an additional 2x 12 mm fans between this
6:31
removable grill and I'm not sure how to remove that but I'm sure there's a way
6:36
seems to be an arrow but I really don't see how that help helps us at all um
6:41
whatever there's a grill and two more 120 mm fans so what that means is you
6:45
can have excellent air flow over your drive cages so you can actually have a
6:50
push pull configuration so even if you load this up with drives and it's very
6:54
very restrictive to air flow you'll have no problem actually forcing air through
6:59
that and then towards your graphics cards or other expansion cards and
7:02
making sure that they stay adequately cooled uh in terms of the internal
7:07
layout it's what we've come to expect from Corsair huge Cable Management holes
7:11
which are going to make your build extremely tidy looking lots of included
7:16
fans so two three 120 mm fans are
7:19
included with the case and then options to mount up to another 1 two three
7:25
four five either 120 or 14
7:31
405 uh side panel six s on the side
7:36
panel that's a lot of fans so it's definitely cooling optimized uh your
7:41
toolless optical drive cages actually look very straightforward so you just
7:45
got a little latch here there's two little nubbins on the inside there that
7:49
will latch into your drive just slide it in and then if you want more security
7:52
you can put additional screws in here or on the other side without any difficulty
7:56
look at these Cable Management Clips out
7:59
standing Corsair keeps coming up with new ways to impress me and I'm pretty
8:03
sure it's me specifically that they're trying to impress with every new case
8:06
that they release large CPU cutout large eight pin or dual 8 Pin or 8 plus4 Pin
8:12
cutout um large large cutout here for routing things like the 24 pin over here
8:17
routing all these top ones see this is something that no one ever figures out
8:21
is like all these top cables have to have a nice direct path down to the
8:25
motherboard this is extremely tidy and lots of space so you've got like an inch
8:29
space back here wherever the motherboard tray is recessed a little bit plus that
8:33
additional space from the side panel being bowed out as well I think that
8:38
pretty much wraps it up so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
8:42
at the Corsair C70 military
8:52
themed oh that's not really a military song
9:02
there we go I didn't want to finish the video without you guys having a chance
9:05
to look at it in all of its Splendor again thank you for watching my unboxing
