Corsair 5000D PC Chassis Review 5

Corsair is back with a new chassis; this time, the 5000D is being put to the test. It is an innovative chassis with lots of space, hiding options, and clearances for a lot of liquid cooling. It's quite the looker as well.

bottom psu = nope
I'm repeating myself but that design is obsolete, that design made sense when we had or modded side fans on the left panel but with the glass windows nowadays it shouldn't exist anymore
there is no airflow under the gpu the whole square under it is a heat trap, and please don't give me links with smoke machines and such I've seen them I also own 5 different cases and every one of them with the psu at the bottom has ZERO airflow under the gpu, the air goes from the front straight to the top, there's also very little of it being exhausted by the rear fan because again the air goes front->top and nowhere else

the only real airflow is bottom->top, psu needs to be in a different compartment than the motherboard

I really wish Corsair remade their super stylish and high quality Crystal 680X, it's too small inside by a good 3cm in height and length
a big tower version where I could place 3 radiators bottom-front-top like the Lian-Li Dynamic XL and I would insta buy
Answer to that is simple. Each PCIe slot below Graphics can have holes for ventilation.
Almost all cases have next to all PCIe slots on back grid which enables a lot of airflow.

And that answer? Positive Air pressure. That's enough to force air through back side.

Sure, I can imagine much better design for PC case. And definitely have very different PSU placement in mind for years. But this usual design still works.
As long as Graphics does not use vapor chamber cooling, I would prefer vertical placement. Cases can be much smaller while providing better cooling.

But idea behind this particular case is to be big.

This is a nice design, I especially like the dust filter at the front...

If i bought this case the first thing i'd do is buy 2 x 140mm ML Premium fans for the front but not this version but the Airflow version. Then the gfx card would get plenty of cool air. I would place the fans in the middle of the front so theres a gap top and bottom the same size. That way you get both the gfx cards and the cpu cooler with cool air.

I'm about to do a new build but trying to get a 5900X and a 3080 is a total nighmare. Some people are taking any 3080 they are offered which shows how bad things really are because i want a Gigabyte Master 3080 but yea good luck with that. I might end up just waiting for the 4 series lol.
