Product Showcase - Exterior

The looks are really appealing; the tempered glass lends it a great appearance and feel. The top side cover is secured by mounts, and if you look closely at the bezel, you'll notice that there is plenty of space between the sides for airflow. The 5000T has lots of radiator space and can accommodate a large number of case fans. The chassis is 530mm x 251mm x 560mm / 20.87in x 9.88in x 22.05in in size. Supported motherboard form factors include E-ATX, ATX, microATX, and, if you think about it, how adorable would it be if... Mini-ITX.

At the backside we see eight plus two expansion slots, a card could be mounted vertically (you'd need a riser cable of course). All the way below we see the PSU section. PSU wise, you name it... it'll fit as we'll show you later on, however, likely an HDD tray needs to be removed to actually be able to mount a long PSU. The chassis at default is fitted with 3x LL120 RGB fans. A cable management system makes it effortless to route major cables through a channel, with at least 25mm of routing depth behind the motherboard. The bottom PSU bay sits underneath a shroud.

At the top is the front panel connectivity, which has four USB 3.x ports, one USB 3.2 Type C port, power, reset, and headphone/mic. That is all. The yellow-colored USB port is a recent addition that complements the Corsair hallmark aesthetic. The Corsair 5000T left side glass panel are among the finest looking available, slightly darker colored, which I prefer. Top side uncovered USB ports can collect dust cover time. It would be nice if Corsair would consider a cover of some sort in following models.

Everything is detachable, the entire front bezel can be pulled out, and then you can reach the dust filter. The top panel can simply be lifted out, giving you access to the dust filter and very quickly the ability to install, say, an 280/360 LCS radiator.

Something I think is really cool is that the side glass- and side panel doubles as a door; all you have to do is pull it towards you to open it. Pushpins are included on each side of the case, which is quite convenient if you need to rapidly access the interior. Very nicely hinged.

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.

Corsair has a broad range of PC components and peripherals. Among them, headsets are also available, and the range starts from the budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS55 Wireless Core in this review. Its debut is on the 20th of September, 2022.
