Corsair has unveiled two PC cases, the 2500X, 2500D, 6500X, and 6500D, designed for mATX and ATX form factors, specifically made for Asus and MSI motherboards with reversed connectors.

The cases are available for retail via Amazon UK, with prices ranging from £129.99 to £169.99. The cases support graphics cards up to 400mm and offer compatibility with 120mm and 360mm radiators, as well as up to ten 120mm/140mm fans.

Designed for use with high-end GPUs like the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and GeForce RTX 40 series, this adapter ensures easy cable connection in compact PC cases. It features heat resistance up to 105°C and bears the CORSAIR logo, making it compatible with other CORSAIR components. However, it does not support the ASUS "ROG STRIX" and "TUF Gaming" series due to the reversed direction of the auxiliary power connector.
