The Weirdest Case So Far: HYTE X50 & X50 Air Case Review & Benchmarks

Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Duronaut on Amazon - https://geni.us/tpgcPMw It's weird, but we like it. This review looks at the Hyte X50 and X50 Air cases, which take some risks on design but manage to do so while keeping thermal performance overall competitive. In this review, we test the Hyte X50 and X50 Air for thermals, acoustics, build quality, cable management, radiator and fan compatibility, drive support, and more. Testing includes frequency spectrum benchmarks of the "acoustic glass" panels, Schlieren photography of the louvered vents and mesh side panel, and thermal benchmarks for CPUs and GPUs.
