Product Information

This Fractal Define R6 review looks at build quality, thermal and acoustic performance, and cable management features.

Improved third generation ModuVent technology allows an effortless transition from metal-clad sound dampened top panel to filtered high airflow multi-fan ventilation. It might have to do with the define R6's filter, as it is very close to the fans, like 1-2mm distance.

This temperature drop is to be expected with all the noise damping and baffles in the way of airflow.Conducting thermal tests requires careful measurement of temperatures in the surrounding environment. Expanding on the timeless elegant form and silent modular function, that brought so much success to its predecessors, the Define R6 offers the demanding hardware enthusiast a solid foundation and flexible framework with limitless potential. I'm sure the R6 will do better with the larger fans it has, even with the top and bottom closed off, just like the SX-800. I picked whichever color was cheapest at the time of purchase and made sure to get the solid-sided variant because those side panels have the ever-desirable noise-dampening panels. We ship all products in unopened boxes directly as received from our manufacturer in brand new and in perfect condition.

Removing the front panel, expectedly, demonstrates that the R6 could run way cooler with an open face -- but we’ll see if the enclosure makes-up for this in acoustic performance, as that is ultimately its marketing objective. Seamless tempered glass and sound dampened steel panels with an elegant push-to-lock latching m The back also has some improvement for cable management and the most notable one is the different position of the fan hub that now is at the top and is better. Designed from the ground up, the Define R6 goes beyond iteration with a profound stride of innovation – the latest and largest step in the legacy of the world-renowned Define Series.

Worst-case my house burns down and I still have off-site copies, though admittedly a little out of date. HDD bays are removed, the metal plate used to hide the HDDs can be moved inwards to extend the motherboard tray, like the eATX plate included with the Bitfenix Shogun. It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a Fractal case, but boy has it been worth the wait, as up for review today we have the brand new Define R6. Designed from the ground up, the Define R6 goes beyond iteration with a profound stride of innovation.

However, when I passed that case down to my youngest son, I didn't go with any fans mounted in the bottom since the Be Quiet case allowed me to have 3 X 140mm front intake fans. Also announced alongside the R6 was the Flex VRC-25 vertical GPU riser kit, slated for availability in late January, 2018.
