Thanks for the review. I’m a customer looking to purchase this SX650 or the Corsair SF600 and I noticed you have reviewed both units. However, there seems to be little direct comparison in your review between the two, even though they are direct competitors.
1) Is the fan in the Silverstone removable without cutting and soldering wires? It doesn’t appear so but just looking to confirm.
