CORSAIR 2800X: Everything You Need to Know

For those who may have limited space for their desktop PC setup, or the enthusiast who just wants to squeeze the most power out of a smaller setup without having to compromise.

Micro-ATX form factor builds are easily overlooked, but they have the capability to offer just as much as its larger ATX counterpart... and that highly capable micro-ATX build starts with our 2800X case. The accommodation for large GPUs, ample airflow with up to ten 120mm fans, & more will make you forget you're using a compact case.

Compact Build, Powerful Cooling

Despite its compact footprint, the 2800X is designed to enable top-tier cooling, especially for its class. This is demonstrated by its capability of fitting a 360mm radiator atop, as well as ten 120mm fans total - four of which can provide fresh air intake from the side and bottom. Want to overclock and squeeze every ounce of power possible from your build? The 2800X's cooling capability will help you achieve that by providing healthy airflow to your components - a safeguard against throttling and/or overheating.

Wraparound Glass Exterior

Not only is the 2800X a highly functional case, but it also has an admirable aesthetic - especially for your hard-earned components. The wraparound glass exterior allows you to show off your hardware and RGB lighting without any obstruction. Have a LCD in your build? Enjoy a full view of it. Making a custom RGB lighting profile to add to the ambient vibe of your gaming setup? The 2800X's design will amplify that by allowing your illumination to fully shine through.

Both the front and side tempered glass panels are also easily removable, making the building and maintenance process a breeze.

GPU Accommodation

The 2800X's compact form factor doesn't make any compromise on supporting the largest GPUs on the market, as it provides 410mm length clearance. On top of not having to worry whether your GPU will fit, the 2800X also has a built-in GPU anti-sag arm - no need to install a separate accessory (some of them bulky) for countering GPU sag.

Easy Building Process

Smaller cases typically entail a more difficult time building in them, but the 2800X proves otherwise. With the support for reverse connector motherboards, ATX PSUs, and velcro ties & zip tie points for easy cable management, you'll be able to enjoy the easy building process rather than having to constantly squeeze your hands into a tight space.

Even our SHIFT PSUs are supported in the 2800X, in case you want an even easier time with cable management. Maintenance isn't as much of a chore either, as there's removable dust filters on the top, bottom, and side.
