Fractal waited until the very end to release the best case of the year and drop the mic. Coming from a proud Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX owner.
yah i have 570x and man do i want this case
Will probably switch out from evolv,cant watercool due to its nature. :(
Nah, not the best IMO. I really don't like the fact that there is not enough space\clearance for push-pull configs. If this case had extra clearance on the top, this case would be just perfect. A lot of other mid sized cases have better clearance on top, so why did Fractal not go this route as well?
Push pull is stupid. Glad they did not make it even bigger.
care to elaborate why it's stupid?
Fractal Design Define R6
Features: all of them
You really have outdone yourself
One of the nicest custom water cooled designs I have seen. You didn't go overboard on the twists and turns. Sometimes functional form is better looking than flashy form for the sake of it. Well done. This is inspiring.
The "wall" that can be removed to fit deep radiators can actually be fitted flush with the motherboard tray. Something this builder, and many others, seem to be unaware of.
Great point! I think many builders miss that.
The builder seems to have forgotten to push in the middle part of the front panel, bothering me slightly, but an awesome build in a great chassis!
Knew this was GGF by the wall..Excellent as always!
Damnit just when I convinced myself I wanted to build a small system in a super small case, you come along and show me this super sexy case. Damnit Fractal!
Fractal is the best case brand on the market right now
Ton of youtube guys have been review in this case it's nice to see what you do with your own channel.
That dude does some amazing custom loops and builds. Really like the R6! Well done Fractal
This case in the gunmetal color is so clean, the TG side panel blends bezel blends in nicely with the sides of the case, along with the blackout internals and white LED power button.
I wish I could still buy this instead of the Define 7 as I don't like the design changes they made with the new angular feet, more logo's killing the clean look, the cutout patterns and it seems many share the same sentiment. Keep the experimental designs in your other cases like the Meshify and Torrent series.
Hopefully FD strikes a balance between the classic look with the updated features in the future with the Define 8 to hopefully replace my 2014 Define R5.
Should've used that drive cover panel on the back when the sleds were removed.
Literally the perfect case. Need this now D:

This case is indeed top notch , however one thought suggestion with the removable front -right section could you guys come with a optional variation where , the back wall
continues , or a mountable section to make it continue for reservoir mounting . Just my vision
just needs a spot at the bottom for two hdd if you decide to take the wall out. A tray like most have in the basement but with a way to attach a pump to the top of it would make it look pretty nice.
GGF yet again showing the way with his custom loops
Send those to Argentine, here is impossible to find one!
These case are amazing iv managed to find a cheap nock off like these as I cant afford the price tag of yours gutted but thats life but on a bright note I do use your power supplies alot so thats a good thing I guess. Love the build n parts. Thank you.
Very slick build. Though I would have liked to see you guys use the GPU Riser Cable for a vertical mount here, as a custom liquid loop is the best scenario to ever use it. Would have been a very nice showcase :).
I'm shopping for a new case, really wanted to get the Define S until you guys released this. Now I'm wondering if the Define S will get a refresh. There's so many drive cages in the R6 and other features like the door and moveable 'wall' that I won't use. (Most will only 'move' the wall once, into the default position of the Define S.)
The R6 was a great update. Now I'm eagerly awaiting news for an S2.
Yup, nobody should almost ever use the vertical mount on an open air card, but it's good for loops.
WoW What a fantastic case and an awesome build Thanks for posting :)
Why fractal, why!!!! I waited a year for a case like this. Last march I finally caved and made a new hardline custom watercooled build in a phantek evolv. Don't get me wrong, I love my build and the evolv is a good case but the R6 is heavenly :'(
seriously one beautiful build! great attention to detail. I wish I had a little extra cash to play with high end components + liquid cooling. mmm, mmm.
only thing that ruined it was the colorshift RGB.. set that shit to blue or grey.
Nice Case , I have Define S /w custom . With Caselabs gone , please consider making a larger case supporting 2 480 rads you guys have the market Run With it !!!
I didn’t realize how old this video was until he pulled out multiple 480GB SATA SSDs lol
Bet you hand was tired after this build. Using only a manual screwdriver. Going HAM.
the cosmetic panel that hide the HDD mounthing holes can be repositionned at the back of the case (flush with the motherboard tray)
You could have done that to clean the look of the build a bit more :)
Beautiful build. Wish I’d gotten the R6 but I’m not sure it was available when I did my build. I have a Define S. It’s my 3rd Fractal case.
was gonna upgrade to the meshify C and buy a fan hub, but since this just dropped in everyone's faces i now have to wait till this is available. will be switching from a thermaltake chaser mk-1. I seen Alot of reviews for the case, and the only thing that I would've changed would be how the vertical gpu mounts, best case scenario for it is to get a third-party 7 slot to dual or quad vertical adapter mount (requires some light modification but doesn't choke gpu as much) but i dont plan on vertically mounting my gpu so its fine foe me but those who want to may want to make sure you have a blower style cooler on it as the other cooler designs will suffer.
Stop teasing, we want to have it available in store!
This is a nice case...tempted to swap to it from my Air 740!
I was never wrong to buy fractal case over coolermaster this time. Top quality at valued price..
Hi guys,
Just to confirm, I have successfully mounted an 140MM EKWB CE in the back, 360MM EKWB PE in the TOP, and an 280MM EKWB CE in the front.
Everything just fits, the screws of the 360MM are almost touching the 280MM rad because EKWB uses ball shaped screw heads.
But it does work, and it works great!
From what I can tell you can even fit another 120MM PE in the bottom, but I didnt do this, so try at your own risk. Looks like plenty of space though.
As a PSU I am using a Corsair RM750x, so that PSU and a 120MM would work!
Enjoy builing in this awesome case!
Damn if only I had that sitting on my desk
4:25 For anyone trying to see if there case has a faulty power switch. Glad to say mine isn't!
Awesome time lapse videos, good music too
I really want to get this for my next case. So nice
Finally the new usb 3.1 gen 2 front panel is available (6/18/2018) from Newegg
This is a gorgeous case. Well done :)
Can’t wait to grab this case 🤩🤩🤩
1. What other quiet case I should be looking at in comparison to this? Also air or water cooled quieter? The white is nice, but don't like the black front.
How did you attach the res/pump to the fans ? - Thanks
ok its straightforward looking at it now but can you tell me the fitting for the Res mount as love what your doing as saves so much space !
Awesome build!
Never seen those beautiful DDR modules before, ordered 4 of those after seeing your vid.
How is the clearance for the mem? Going to have a 360 on Top too (30mm)
And those res mounts, brand and Where to get?
That rig looks sick!!
why does everyone sponsor this one guy specifically? sponsor declassified systems and youll have a ces masterpiece
I think I just fell in love....
Awesome video! Really liked it!
so clean
Looks dope!
Case has so much flexibility
I thought this was a GGF Events video for a solid 20 seconds.
clean ass build
The Gpu return line should have been made at a different angle ,. So as to not make the cables off set like they are. I like my cables straight. even if they have to be re-routed differently.
Thanks for a great vid. Yes, great case, about as close to perfect we may get - possibly the best in it's class currently. I just hope the next version (R7) has a REMOVABLE PSU shroud. It is REALLY ticking me off that it is not removable. If I'm paying $300+ here in Australia for a Seasonic Titanium Or AXi Corsair PSU WHY oh WHY would Fractal force me to cover it up with that damn shroud when the gorgeous glass window affords such a great view of a magnificent high end PSU. It is a modular PSU so making the cables look neat is easy! No need for a shroud - OR, make it removable! Couldn't have been rocket science difficult to make it removable, surely Fractal?!! Oh, and they need to make the top twin piece roof easier to separate. Does anyone, including the reviewer, know when the R7 is due please? If these two things are fixed I will be insisting they take my money !
Got this genius idea right now! Make tshirts with "Do you even R6?". I would defin(e)itely buy it. ;)
Love this case - but can you make the white version all white? Not white with a stainless front panel?! Thanks!
Beautiful case and build!
need to get make of those thumb screws on the front hhd cover panel and make it magnetic or tooless
fractal should consider using silicone grommets for the HDD trays instead of hard rubber grommets which don’t dampen HDD noise. I have a Define R4 and my backup drive is a 1TB Samsung HDD. When the drive spins up I can hear it hum and it’s annoying. I had a case before it with Silicone grommets and I never heard the HDDs I had in there. There was three HDDs in the case. Two in raid 0.
Nice music, Awesome case
Beautiful build great job
Did they do a push/pull setup in front? I'm probably getting this case when it finally releases and am trying to figure out rad sizes and why they went with a slim rad up top. I could see in this specific build, if they used the same rad up top it would block off access to the ports of the from rad. But I wonder if you took away the push pull in front and did just pull that you'd be able to fit a 45mm rad up top as well.
0:54 aren't we supposed to install DRAMs starting from the 2nd slot first? Or that rule is only for AM4 motherboards?
simple and sexy build
I love this case but I sure wish Fractal Design would make this in a desktop version.
This is a desktop version...
A Perfect Case
beautiful case for cooling but i prefer meshify c cause of size
Very nice Build boy this Colors my Favorite JEAH ^^
ok but why do you push air out of the front???
Took out my disgusting power shroud I shall now water build
#GGF , I Thought NO-ONE Would EVER Compliment RGB With a TRUE Custom Build that Is EXACTLY What """ I """ would have in WOULD LOVE TO OWN , """ BUT, """ YOU have Hit the Nail On The HEAD !!! BEAUTIFUL !!! maybe a little of a time lapse wait , BUT_ BEAUTIFUL !!! THIS MY DOO`s and DOODET`s , is what a PC """ SHOULD """ Look like . THANK YOU @FractalDesign I WOULD Be PROUD to OWN a pc with this design implications and layout , a minor tick here n there , But , What the A , NO-ONE is Perfect !!! But , Getting CLOSE DOE !!! Absolutely LUVIT !!! colors , rgb ,water cooling , CASE , fans ,aio, Even right down to the MOST IMPORTANT parts , The Motherboard ,CPU,Meomory-DAT RGB : SPOT ON !!! :), ( just the Right addition Without going Overboard ) ,SSD`s,and The AIO ` S-x2 , Im Drooling , ( :D..... ),,, . need i say more
Instead of teasing for months, make it available to public ASAP!
i have the Fractal design S and i loved it forever. this though. love the entire case! except i still would like the 2.5 ssd slots on the back
The R6 has two SSD slots on the back, they can simply be remounted to the PSU shroud as show in this video, if you choose to do so
Fractal Design on thanks for the information really live your cases. They're so awesome because they arnt blingy and weirdly shaped like other companies. They're very sleek and smooth and also very smartly built
It's cool but how about a water cooling build maintaining the function of at least a few drive bays including the 5.25?"
Why did you put dustfilter on the top exhaust vent? You want to keep dust from getting in not from getting out! The only thing its doing is restricting exhaust airflow and keeping dust from escaping...
Epic build
Can't wait till I have enough money to put a beast pc in an R6
What size of reservoir are you using in this build. Is it a 150 or 200. Hard to tell sometimes, thanks for any feedback. Much appreciated. I have this case myself on the way to do a build for my son. Want to do a custom loop and not buy a res that’s too tall. We want to easily be able to remove the top of the res if need be. Going with 45-60 mm rad in front 360, and a 240 on top, he wants to maintain a optical drive for recording bootleg CDs.
as you attach the pump to the radiator you can send the link where you bought it.
Beautiful!
Beautiful
The not completely properly snapped on front panel (look at the middle hook) triggers my ocd hard.
Would have been cool to see the GPU vertical seeing as it's an acrylic GPU block
But..Where does the air come in because all the inlets are blocked by radiators
3:49 God I wish running tubing was this easy xD
Love this case, gonna get it for my next build, really think you guys need to find some way of keeping some HDD bays in the rig with the HDD cover removed though SSD's are great but i have some rather large HDDs that im not gonna be able to use
You still can mount 2 HDD's on the removed cover. You just have to put that cover back on the other side of the case, as far as I know
A. proAkdag you can but it prevents you from mounting a 360mm rad up top and thats my plan for the case, 360 in the front, 360 up top, res to fill the space and nickel plated copper tube hardline
As well as the USB type-C stuff discussed in other comments, I wish Fractal would stop putting the power/reset buttons on top of the case, or cover them in some way. Do you not have cats? :) They like to stand on top of cases and power down PCs if the buttons are up there. (Even if you disable the power button, a paw standing on it for 10 seconds will power down the PC via the BIOS.) Aside from the power buttons and type-C shenanigans, I really love the Define line. The R5 is the best case I've worked with, and I loved the R4 until the R5 raised the bar. Having the PSU filter come out the front (as on the R5 and R6) is still fairly unique, and any case where it comes out the back (as on the R4 and still most current cases from other people) is a deal breaker to me now.
This case is my future case from corsair spec 01 user.
Can anyone tell me why is the cooling route like this
Res > gpu > cpu > rad > rad
so, they put a dedicated opening for a fill port at the top, a pretty unique and convenient feature, and then they don't even use it in this promotional build, unless i missed it. neither did they incorporate that panel that would hide HDDs if there were any, another special feature here. or the less unique, but still provided slot for a vertical graphics card mount.
it's a nice build, sure, but i feel like this could've been done just as well in any other case of similar size and would've looked just as good. i get it, it's about "look at all the cool stuff you can put in here", but... it just doesn't make use of any standout features the case offers, is what i'm saying
not every pc needs a fill port, my custom loop doesn't have one drilled through the case, I just have a multiport cap on top of my res :)
Where did you get such fasteners for water cooling ??
Pretty nice build..I would like to know how these products are avail in places like dubai
When will this be released in Canada? I'm postponing buying my first computer until this is available!
Very coo, im about to get my own R6 case with glass, is custom waterblock best or closed where you dont need to fill it?
Nice build!
There it is, in this video, the usb c connector wich I miss on the *stock* front panel.
Do you have to sacrifice the rear fan just to fit in two 360mm rads in this case?
Secondly can I fit a 420 at the top and a 360 at the front or would that be too tight?
Sacrifice rear fan to get two 360 rads in.
Beautiful :)) good job
Were those extension cables or just braided cables that plug directly into the PSU? I have a semi modular power supply and I’m not sure what the best option for using braided cables is.
How thick is that front rad? I'm looking to install a 60mm EKWB EX 360 and D5 pump in the front of the define R6 I have on order.
Jordan Brett that'll be fine there is 17cm of room
