Raidmax Viper GX Gaming Mid Tower Case (Black) reviews

After reading many reviews and doing a lot of research for a new case that would fit my new twin fan radiator, I had some reservations as to wither or not this case would be suitable…All I knew is that it would fit the radiator and its fans.

To make a long story short, I had nothing to worry about. This case is awesome, and looks great to boot with its green LED fan in the front of the case. Benchmark testing of my Intel i5 system with ATI Radeon 6950 saw the case keep things cool. The only real issue with this case is the size of its side window…which is small.

Overall it is a great case when on a budget and looks every part the place on a gamers desktop.

This is a good case, even with five fans in it, its still quiet. Lots of room for cable routing and comes with Velcro ties for cable management.

I would highly recommend this case, it looks good and has a lot of good features about it.

Pros: This is a really solid case with good cable management, it can fit massive graphics cards, and it looks just fantastic.

Cons: The side panel window is very small, both pre-installed fans are Molex only, and the plastic front and top are fingerprint magnets thanks to the glossy finish.

All in all, it's a great case with few flaws. Awesome for the value.

This was my first time building a PC and I picked the Raidmax Viper GX to house my components. I picked this case because I like the way it looked and it met my requirements that the case had to have at least 2 front mounted USB 3.0 ports, and there was support for 240mm radiator for water cooling the CPU. The case also came with 2 Raidmax fans supplied, there is room for a total of 6 case fans (including the 2 on the radiator).The inclusion of a 2.5" Sata “hot swap” port at the top of the is a handy feature, allowing the user to plug in a 2.5" sata drive without accessing the inside of the case.

I found the process of assembling the PC to be pretty easy and hassle free. The only problem I had (very small problem) was it was a little tight fitting the motherboard (ASRock Fatality Gaming K6) in after I installed the water cooler radiator and fans (Cooler Master Nepton 240m) in the top (it had to be done in that order) due to the shielding / armour over the i/o ports. My Nepton came with Cougar fans instead of the original Cooler Master fans, they were secured with thumb screws that stick out 5–7mm which stopped me installing the motherboard until I removed them and swapped them for flat headed screws which solved the issue. I found there was ample room and cutouts for cable management.

Some people wont like the plastic used for the front and top of the case, it will attract finger prints. I don't mind it, the rest of the case is made from steel and is quite sturdy.

It's an impressive looking case. A little larger than I had expected but that is OK. I'm now looking forward to collecting all the components necessary to complete my PC build.

Great Case, LED lighting and Air Pressure are really nice, perfect to prevent dust buildup. The only minor downside is the exclusive Molex-only connector for the front fan (due to you only having one system fan slot on your motherboard), however with a semi-decent PSU this will be fine, just make sure you have extra Molex connectors!
