I do love big cases. My current is the Thermaltake Core X9, which houses my EVGA X-79 Dark, 1680-V2 @ 4.8GHz all core, 32GB (8x4GB) Dominator GT 2133 @2400, and a GTX Titan XP, all on a custom loop by me. I got the Core X9 because I was not able to get the Core WP200. So yeah, I like big cases! My favourite case of all time though, is the Corsair AIR 540. Super fun and easy to build in, be it air or water cooled. Have a great day, Steve and the GN Team! o7

+1 I think this little detail slipped thru...? @Steve

[@StangV2]

Ive owned a 1000D before. The side door doesn't seal it off and there prob about 10mm between the vent and door. Thats more than enough space for the PSU to draw air in from outside the case. In fact the side door doesn't seal the case off and even if it did that area can still source air from the main chamber. It then exhausts out the back of the case.

[@RadioactiveLobster]

[@nighty7158]

Would've liked a successor to the 900D though. Not a dual-system kind of case (Already got the 1000D for that), but just a large case with room for lots of radiators - especially 480mm rads.

[@Real_MisterSir]

I mean tbf the 9000D seems like an old design that's been refurbished by some cad engineers -which is pretty much what it is. I'm expecting there to be a 2nd version sometime in the future where these minor things get addressed.

[@OrangeGenerator]

Was hoping they would review it. It's one of those cases where excess grabs you and I just want it.

[@brandonunger1689]

I still like the idea of Dual-motherboard systems in a single (BIG) case, but the ITX doesn't make sense to me. It's just too small of hardware print for me; I need better specs, and yeah that little SF PSU in the back has very POOR cooling. Even if the holes were bigger for air, you still have the door closing behind it, making any air flow to this SF PSU basically non-functional. Loved the case until I saw the LED short out and then Steve identifying the PSU air flow issue. You had me at Hello; but now it's 'Next! ......

Wish you guys could do a review of the 1000D, the older brother of the 9000D. It's overkill for 99% of people that was perfect for my "bigger badder PC" fight with my brother. Then again, I get the feeling that a review of the 9000D would almost be like reviewing the 1000D cause they're almost the same thing. Like seriously, there's a few differences but the 9000D feels like a minor modification someone did to a 1000D in their basement and Corsair just decided to mass produce it. I do love my 1000D despite the whole system weighing like 60-70 pounds. I didn't really use it for its intended role, just put a full sized motherboard with a 7950xdx and an Arctic 420 AIO in it with normal case fans, but all that space makes working on it so easy. I definitely recommend it for someone who wants to go all out and just have an enormous, over the top PC that they can sit next to them, look over, and just giggle about due to its size.

[@GamersNexus]

There is a slight air gap between that door and the actual panel, so some room for the air to find its way out the back. But good point overall -- seems to be a ventilation trend with the 3500X!

As a 1000D owner I am disappointed with the 9000D. I don't see a lot of differences in size, mostly seems to be cosmetic. I bet you the rear fans won't allow for dual 140mm and the gap between the top and front radiator / fan mounting will also be tiny. It will be nice to see if I can install the 9000D top usb hub on my case, hopefully they were able to put everything into a single cable (I have 4 - 2 for usb 3.0 and 2 for usb c. I had to buy a pcie adapter for the extra connector as almost no motherboards have 2x usb c headers). Not using glass for the front is nice though.

9000D is a pretty insane case.

[@lagrangemechanics]

When I learnt basic motor design many many years ago - something I haven't touched upon since aside from the handful of occasions that I needed to deal with motors, like the one time I was looking at a lathe - I've always learnt it from a 3-phase perspective (Phase coils A, B and C spaced 120 degrees apart). During that time I was looking at the lathe, I remember the main takeway was that single phase is doable, but 3-phase is smoother. The only thing that stops you doing 3-phase is it's more complex - and I wonder if there are additional points of failure in terms of electronics. Cost is another concern I suppose, so I wonder how these Titan coolers compare to the old ones price-wise.

[@Nevir202]

[@snellage]

when will this 9000D be for sale? this is definitely gonna be my next case :)

[@taesssi]

I'm really curious about the 3 phase and how they are doing it. Typically in smaller stuff they would align the electromagnets 90 degrees apart. I'm almost guessing they are cheaping out and just saying 3 phase. In larger pumps the motors can actually have 3 phases of power. I am certain they could do this with circuits, create several square wave generators from the original dc in. However with adding more hardware also adds more points of failure. In short, I'd really love to see a channel take the pump apart and see how it's wired. Then also run testing on it out actually affects the flow, or if it is just a reliability thing and was it worth it to go to that type of motor?

[@Stormpriest]

Still this is a fantastic update and I'm happy for everyone who gets to build in it, because the original was and still is my favorite case of all time edit: and for anyone wondering, I stuck 2 80mm radiators in the front, which takes up all the space a second row of fans would, so I ONLY have 11 fans in my build, since I was reusing fans from a previous build and the radiator conflicts with 2 additional front fans. I went with their white 2400rpm LL fans because they were the only 2400rpm fan corsair made, and I needed the extra RPM to overcome the lack of push/pull on an 80mm thick rad, even with the low fin density it was designed with to allow more air through. Performance is of course fantastic, and it honestly only spins up past 1400-1500rpm when I have headphones on while I'm gaming, so I never hear it thankfully. Some day I might replace those radiators with dual 4x120 60mm thick rads, and then I will be able to put the maximum 24 fans in my build (i would also have to add 3 more to the top radiator), assuming I don't also figure out a way to mount a 240mm rad to the exhaust fans, at which point I could theoretically hit 26 lmao. That would also mean the new case supports 34 max with that same kind of config, but it's still wild af regardless. that many fans would cost more than some cheap PCs lmao

"Je mehr du khaust" "desto mehr ???????", der8auer definitely said something else there

[@Kinjara]

Triforce? id argue its very similar to the Destiny logo

[@GamersNexus]

hahaha, great point.

[@selectthedead]

That's why they end all their cases on a big D xD

[@vchan37]

We need to fit more fans in a case Corsair : say no more

[@darthgrossmaul]

A possible reason for this trend: CORSAIR is making alot of $ with selling their RGB fans

[@dnakatomiuk]

The half holes for the PSU then slightly get blocked by the actual main side door??

[@cyxceven]

LGA1851 & Z890? Never heard of 'em. Thanks for the heads up.

[@Hybris51129]

I really wish you guys would test the 9000. There is little to no reviews for this class of case because they aren't yet another mid tower.

[@Real_MisterSir]

A 3-phase motor is simply an electric motor that has 3 power delivery phases (in pairs, so 6 electromagnetically generated fields in total). It helps with the efficiency and smoothness of rotation in the motor, which leads to fewer vibrations and better longevity. Most pc fans use single-phase electric motors, and usually 3-phase motor fans are used for industrial purposes with harsher conditions and prolonged service periods.

[@suspiciouslamp9062]

While what you have said is generally true, three phase as you described would be AC (or DC pretending to be AC through pulse-width-modulation). A computer fan (in normal circumstances) will always be DC, because all of the power coming out of the power supply is DC. DC motors are always single phase (largely by technicality, you don't normally refer to DC as single phase), you cannot have a three phase DC motor, since everything is always in phase in a DC system. In real world AC power applications, single phase vs three phase largely comes down to motor size. Large motors (commonly used in industrial applications) are typically three phase, whereas small motors are typically single phase. This is because the complexity and cost of three phase don't scale down very well, whereas the worse efficiency of single phase doesn't scale up very well. The transition point is around 1-2 HP (which is wayyyyyy larger than any PC fan motor).

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@suspiciouslamp9062 Yes of course, cost scaling is the main reason this type of motor doesn't see much use below a certain size limit, also due to smaller motors tending to have less strict operation requirements when their margins are so small to begin with, so the return on benefit scales poorly as well, considering how many extra elements (like you point out a DC-AC converter) would have to be counted into the cost as well as packaging complexity.

[@suspiciouslamp9062]

@@Real_MisterSir Exactly yeah, which all comes back around to what Corsair means by a three phase fan motor. I can't imagine they are actually using three phase, due to the cost of the rectifiers as well as the negligible benefits. Probably just marketing trying to sound cool.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@suspiciouslamp9062 I mean, perhaps. I don't personally know the inner workings of their fan, but 3-phase motor is a very specifically established engineering term that doesn't lend much leeway in how it's used to describe a motor and how it functions. If they're trying to loophole it, that would very quickly turn into direct false advertisement. Can't say if it is or not though, but perhaps worth digging into for those who care.

[@nighty7158]

Would've liked a successor to the 900D. Not a dual-system kind of case (Already got the 1000D for that), but just a large case with room for lots of radiators - especially 480mm rads.

[@Ordanelas]

Im interested in the new 300X case for my new build but waiting for @GamersNexus review of the case.

[@keibohow69]

regarding the corsair 3500 pc case. now that you have 1000watt sff psu's that could go a long way to bottom fan intake.

[@jacobthomas90]

are we ignoring @6:00 where you show the vents in the french door for the PSU but not noticing the fact that there is a solid piece of sheet metal right on top of it when the rear side panel is closed??

[@namzxs]

GN’s content output at this event is insane. Hard work not going unnoticed! 💪🏽

[@Sol_Divisive]

Finally.. I can upgrade my 1000D!

[@Codys42303]

@GamerNexus 9000D will look a lot the same alike 1000D and really good with white color option which I was wanting that option for 1000D but I’m glad Obsidian has a 2.0 finally.

[@TheGlassSword]

Just hope they can do some work on their Icue software not reliable, and their wireless accessories

[@renatoigmed]

Meanwhile I still use my old Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case from 2004 that I managed to buy in 2006 and since then I've had three new complete setups that lived inside him for a while and I'll probably continue using the same one on the new PC where I'm buying the parts little by little as far as possible .

[@BigMan7o0]

I doubt I will ever be at a point where its reasonable for me to need a dual pc system let alone a $500 case for it, but if I do the 9000D looks pretty cool xD

[@jtreedy116]

As a moron who fell in love with the 1000D, and will be getting a 9000D - is it reasonable? Of course not! But lord is it beautiful.

[@BigMan7o0]

@@jtreedy116 Fair, I would honestly be lying if I said I wouldn't consider getting it if I had $500 to drop on a case even without having any reasonable use/need for it lol

[@hornetf18]

Some ask “why?” Cultured people ask “why not?”

[@fetzie23]

On the 9000D, while the PSU has that mesh on the PSU air intake, isn’t it right up against a solid panel when you close it up anyway?

[@protogenxl]

It needs 10 more fans to reach the correct number

[@MrAshleyR]

An aside of the PSU intake on the 9000000D; yes, it's got some intake on those french doors, but if I'm not mistaken, all of it gets cut off by the main back panel?

[@EclecticianG]

There are features of this case that I wish my 5000X had but, really, I cannot imagine ever needing that case even if I ever decide to build a hard tube CL because I want much of it to be OUTSIDE of the case, not in, so maintenance of the PC is easy, not impossible.
