A C70-inspired design, rebuilt for modern PCs
The WARTHOG is Corsair’s response to long-running requests to revisit the Vengeance C70, a case that debuted in 2012. Rather than reissue the original, Corsair based the new mid-tower on its FRAME 4000D chassis and wrapped it in a more rugged steel exterior. Integrated handles attach to the frame, while perforated 3D-Y grilles on the front and top are designed to promote airflow.
The front panel continues the military theme with guarded switches for power, reset and lighting, plus a “REMOVE BEFORE BUILD” tag over the USB-C port. Connectivity includes a 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and a combined headphone and microphone jack. Rear I/O illumination is intended to make motherboard connections easier to see in dim spaces.
Cooling, compatibility and build features
Corsair’s InfiniRail system on the front and top lets builders adjust fan placement, while the chassis also provides additional fan mounting points. It supports up to 13 120mm fans or seven 140mm fans and has three locations for 360mm radiators. A built-in GPU support arm helps steady long, heavy graphics cards; Corsair lists support for GPUs up to 400mm.
The RapidRoute 2.0 pegboard motherboard tray supports customizable cable routing, and the case accommodates reverse-connector motherboards for less visible cabling. A dedicated pocket behind the tray provides space for an iCUE LINK System Hub. Corsair also highlights compatibility with its iCUE LINK ecosystem, allowing supported fans and coolers to connect through a simplified cabling setup.
Two versions, with different cooling included
The standard WARTHOG ships without fans, giving builders room to use existing hardware or choose their own setup. The WARTHOG RS includes two 200mm RS200 intake fans and one 120mm RS120 rear exhaust fan. Corsair says the RS fans use Magnetic Dome Bearings and AirGuide technology, and connect to the motherboard for fan control.
Both models are offered in Black and Olive Drab. US pricing starts at $179.99 for the standard version and $199.99 for the RS. Corsair says pre-orders are available, with shipments expected within four weeks; select retailers and system integrators are also offering the case.
