Corsair 5000D PC Chassis Review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/14/2021 04:00 PM [ 19 comment(s) ]

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I'm repeating myself but that design is obsolete, that design made sense when we had or modded side fans on the left panel but with the glass windows nowadays it shouldn't exist anymore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

As usual, the trend of blocking front airflow in favour of aesthestics lives on.

Hard pass.

I own the Airflow version of the 4000D with mesh front. Great Airflow with 2 x 140mm fans in front and on top + 120 mm rear. Love it. In my case (pun intended) no need for a bigger enclose like the 5000D.

I considered the Corsair 500SE with RGB fans for my new gaming rig but didn't like the lack of top ventilation for an overclocked 10700K (my previous rig used a 650D which was functional but dull). I chose a CoolerMaster H500 Mesh with its two 200mm front fans which are very quiet and very effective. I like the fact that you locate the fans for your AIO in the top compartment and you can see the three fans for the AIO through the top glass panel, this is not possible with this Corsair case.
Re lower case airflow, I asked my builder to remove the HD caddy & the entire PSU shroud so I've got 'enhanced' lower case airflow. My spec includes the ASUS Thor platinum 850w PSU and leaving the shroud in place would hide the OLED power usage display and other RGB on the PSU.

I looked at the Thermaltake 71 case for my new gaming rig, really liked it but I didn't need such a big case, would the Thermaltake 71 suit you?
