At the start of this review we moted that the Corsair Carbide 330R was simply a silent version of the 300R, and indeed, as the internal layout is damn near identical it would be very easy to argue this point. However, to say this is somewhat over simplif...
Solid construction and excellent build quality inside and out, 240/280mm radiator support (radiators under 30mm thick) in either push or pull configuration, Serviceable dust filters for all default intake areas, Noise dampening material on the top, front
Very few cable management loops at the back of motherboard tray for cable ties, Short front panel audio cable, Top cover cannot be used when using 2x 140mm fan or 280mm radiator
Corsair's Carbide series is meant to be their mainstream and more affordable line but the superb build quality and accurate machining shames other manufacturer's mainstream offerings. Of course, there were concessions made by Corsair to keep the 330R's ...
In the 330R's favor, its primary competition in the marketplace consists of the Fractal Design Define R4, which it generally beats handily. That's really the target; I love the Nanoxia Deep Silence cases and would easily recommend one over the 330R, but N...

The new Corsair Carbide 330R has two features that Corsair is hoping to attract people to buy the case. The first would be its sleek clean look. Before, we had to pay more bucks for a simplistic looking but fully-customizable case with the class like what...
Quiet fans, Internal silencing foam, Support for large aftermarket CPU coolers (175mm), Support for large, highend graphics cards (450mm), Toolless design, Builtin fan controller
Nonmodular (3.25" bay), Fans can be heard on high fan setting
Let us recap my reasoning and scoring method before diving into my final words. First I look at what the company is saying it offers. For example, say the company states the case supports large / long graphics cards or ten quiet fans. In this example, I e...
Abstract: Not so long ago, you only had a handful of options if you were looking for a silent case. Luckily, things have changed in 2015. Hardware.Info tested no less than 20 silent cases for this review, and compared them to four of the classics. Which case stri...
Sleek and attractive exterior, Capable cooling performance, Keeps noise levels in check, Easy to build into
No fan controller, Only four harddisk bays, Cable holes lack rubber grommets
The Carbide Series 330R is Corsair's second attempt at building a chassis that balances low-noise operation with capable airflow. Introduced as an economical alternative to the high-end and highly-acclaimed Obsidian Series 550D, the 330R is, for all inte...

A high-quality, low-noise chassis that is a good foundation for a quiet system....

Abstract: As cases that focus on reducing noise tend to do, the Corsair Carbide 330R has a very minimalist design, opting for the 'less is more' approach in a similar vein to Fractal Design with its Define R4 chassis. In fact, these two cases are almost identically...
Clean looking, Great dampening, Durable, Well equipped
More storage space would be nice, eTeknix says:
“Corsair have done it again, creating a product that is well-built, that looks great and performs even better. It's perfect for those who don't want to see or hear their system when working, but still want something that looks bold and stylish regardless...
