fkjchon Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hi, I'm looking to do a new build with the Corsair 570X. I understand this case has tempered glass for the top panel as well, my concern is that I normally put heavy things (Hori RAP VLX Premium arcade stick) on top of my cases so I have easy access to it without getting out of my seat. How strong is the top panel? is there a non-tempered glass top panel available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Unfortunately the 570X does not have a non-tempered panel. I wouldn't really recommend placing a heavy object on the panel but you can submit a support ticket to Corsair and see whether the glass can hold the weight. https://support.corsair.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I thought that tempered glass was something like 4 or 5 times stronger than ordinary glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 i cant see a problem with resting that stick on top of a 570x.. think the stick weighs about 5kg, ive seen thinner glass shelves hold more ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charixfox Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Based on standard load calculations of tempered glass, the maximum rated weight for the glass on the top is about 20 pounds. I'd expect the plastic offsets to break before the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Greybeard Posted October 13, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 13, 2017 The top glass panel is pretty thick so putting that stick on top is not a problem. That said, I wouldn't recommend it due to the fact that there is a risk of breaking the plastic stand offs that's holding the glass panel in place.
