On the prominent side panel there is a 200mm fan mounted. This has been placed in this region for assisting with extracting heat from the GPU. This fan can be connected via 4-pin or Molex.

Inside the case we have a 140mm rear exhaust fan that can be connected via 3-pin or Molex and a 200mm top mounted fan that again can be connected via 3-pin or Molex. Next to this fan there is a space for mounting another 200mm fan. In terms of cooling the HAF X certainly has plenty of ammo.

For optical drive storage we have 4x 5.25” bays that each come with the tool-less design mechanism that Cooler Master have integrated into most of their cases. You simply slide the drive in and press the button and the pins will secure the drive in place. Beneath these optical drive bays there are an additional 2x 5.25” bays, these both have trays that can host 2.5” or 3.5” drives.
Tool-less, quick release for attaching optical drives
Beneath this there is a GPU duct that will allow for the graphics card to be suspended – taking off any stress that a heavy graphics card might cause for the PCI-Express slots. This is removable.
For HDD storage there is a cage that will accommodate 4x 3.5” drives. The top tray will accommodate a 2.5” drive such as an SSD. Each of the trays have 4 pins – the drive simply slots into the tray and the pins fit into the screw holes on the drive.
