Corsair has launched the FRAME 4500X, the latest addition to its FRAME Modular Case System. This mid-tower chassis boasts a striking panoramic glass exterior, offering an unobstructed view of internal components from multiple angles. Designed for both aesthetics and functionality, the FRAME 4500X combines premium features with enhanced cooling capabilities, making it an attractive option for PC enthusiasts.
Key Takeaways
- Wraparound panoramic glass for a stunning visual display.
- Modular design inherited from the FRAME system for customization.
- Flexible cooling options, including the InfiniRail Fan Mounting System.
- Includes pre-installed reverse-rotor RGB fans for enhanced airflow and lighting.
- Ample space for high-end components, including large GPUs.
Design and Aesthetics
The standout feature of the FRAME 4500X is its single-piece, wraparound panoramic glass panel that seamlessly extends across the front and side of the case. This design not only provides a spectacular view of the build but also allows for easy access to the interior thanks to a precision mounting solution that enables quick removal of the glass. The case’s top and side panels feature ventilation with a unique “waterfall” pattern, contributing to both airflow and visual appeal.
Cooling and Airflow
Corsair has equipped the FRAME 4500X with its InfiniRail Fan Mounting System, a top-mounted, adjustable rail that allows builders to position 120mm or 140mm fans precisely where needed. The case comes with pre-installed reverse-rotor RGB fans, either the RS120-R PWM ARGB or the iCUE LINK LX120-R RGB models, which provide effective, low-noise cooling and unobstructed RGB lighting. The chassis supports up to ten 120mm fans or five 140mm fans, with additional mounting points on the top, rear, and bottom for continuous airflow. The power supply shroud also includes dual 120mm fan mounts for direct GPU cooling.
Component Compatibility and Build Features
The interior of the FRAME 4500X offers 460mm of GPU clearance, accommodating even the most powerful graphics cards. It also includes a built-in adjustable GPU Anti-sag Stabilization Arm for added support. The case is designed for clean builds, supporting the latest reverse-connector motherboards from ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI. Cable management is simplified with ample space behind the motherboard tray and integrated Velcro straps. Additional build-friendly features include QuikTurn screws for easier fan installation and a reusable screw box. For storage, a combination drive plate can hold one 3.5″ HDD and two 2.5″ SSDs. The front panel I/O provides modern connectivity with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and a combo headphone/mic jack.
Availability and Warranty
The Corsair FRAME 4500X Series cases are available immediately through the Corsair webstore and its global network of authorized retailers and distributors. The cases are backed by a two-year warranty and Corsair’s worldwide customer service and technical support network.
