I'm glad someone finally acknowledged that the radiator fan situation at the top with the CPU power and how tight it is. I ended up doing the fans on the bottom and radiator above where you put your secondary fans

[@HyRax_Aus]

Bought this case after seeing this review (and others) and I have to say it's easily the best case I've ever had for a custom-built PC in all my 20+ years of PC building! It's so easy to do a nice clean build with this, and without much effort either. Now running an i7 build with ten Corsair LL120 fans and an NZXT Z73 360mm AIO and am very happy!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Very nice! It was easy to build in for sure.

[@Vimes.]

My 5000D Airflow arrived yesterday and the build went fine. It was a little fiddly removing the cable shroud but all went well in the end. Using 140mm fans for the front and the top I felt that they should have extended the slots for the fitting of the larger fan on the front of the case. IIRC the 4000D seems better in that way. Agree with the actual usefulness with the HDD cage, for the 3.5" drives. It has to come out and in my opinion can't really be used effectively due to needing that space, at least I do, for the cable management of the PSU. After fitting the 140mm fans to the top I also had issues with the two 8 pin plugs for the motherboard, out a fan came...! If you do mount fans on the side, no dust removable dust filter is there - unlike the front and top. The inner rear door does indeed come off easily, I wish that it had a better latch, not really important, but when you have bunged all your cables in for your build it doesn't close shut as easy. I wish that they had made it possible to remove the bottom dust filter for the P~SU intake from the front, like on my previous Fractal R5 case, rather than the rear. Overall a good case.

@@jasper-3338 this was easy to build in, as was the 7000D. I'm also a big fan of the Lian Li Dynamic XL

[@iamamish]

One thing worth mentioning about the 5000D platform is that whether you have the 5000D, the airflow, or the 5000X variant, they all share essentially the same platform, and so you can mix & match various panel types. For instance, I bought the vanilla 5000D (since that is what was on sale), but I wanted more airflow through the front. So, I purchased the airflow panel. For the top, I didn't need as much airflow, so I purchased the glass top that comes with the 5000X. Each panel was only $15 - Corsair's pricing on their replacement parts is exceptionally reasonable, and is one of many reasons I'm happy to give Corsair my money. Great review, as always

Interesting logic. Thanks for sharing

I got the black version of this. Ran into similar issues with cables blocking access. Not a 'fan' of the cable tidy plate when using a standard 24 pin power cable due to how bulky it is so had to loosen the plate a little even when using a cable mod. The side panel tempered glass is tinted on the black model too, which looks really nice. Overall, it's a really nice. case. :)

Yeah it's a great case, I seriously considered keeping it as my daily driver but went back to my Lian Li Dynamic XL simply for aesthetic reasons.

[@mauriciosl]

This is the best ASMR on the internet.

[@GeorgeGralistas]

Given the 3 extra intake fans on the side, would you recommend putting a 360mm AIO in the front as intake (possibly in push/pull config)? Will the relatively short standard AIO tubing be able to reach the cpu from the bottom of the rad?

[@RC-nv4bh]

I had the same problem with my Aorus mobo and 360 aio as well. But there was no gap small enough to force the 8pin from above. I had to run the 8 pin from rear and side (basically corner where the rear exhaust and rad meet) and flip the rad tubes to the front.

How efficient would a top mounted fan pull setup be, with the radiator below? Rather than a push setup with the fans below the radiator? I was pondering the idea of installing a H150i but using the 3 RGB fans it comes with in the front of the case and using the 2 non-RGB fans that come with the 5000D in the top recess pulling air through the radiator. I would obviously need to add a third non-RGB fan in the top recess.

Hello can i fit my old 80 mm fans in it ?

[@Arhan28]

I had the issue with the 8 pin CPU power connectors too, running up the back with a 360mm AIO and an intel build would not work, and I didn't like the stress I was putting on the cables or connectors to try to force it with it hidden in the back. I spent an hour or 3 trying to figure out how to do it. At one point I went from the bottom of the motherboard straight up and then my 4080 GPU wouldn't install. Ugh. So, my solution for now was I ran them along the top right grommet rubber holes from the back and to the 8pin CPU headers. It wasn't worth damaging the motherboard for a cosmetic issue. For reference I had the 1k corsair shift default power cables. Maybe I'll get something off cable mod someday. I find it acceptable as is. Just make sure if you do this that the cable doesn't hit the fan blades of the AIO.

Love the reviews and have a question. You say you cant have a front & side mounted radiator together but would there be enough room to mount a front 360 & a top 360 and then put an EKWB QUantum FLT 360 Reservoir/pump unit in the side position(without the fans there) ?

[@jeremywilcox800]

i run 3 360 radiators on this case. One front, one side, and one top with the Corsair reservoir mounted in the space behind the front fans. They all pull air out from the case. One fan on the rear pushing fresh air in. Negative air flow which is the preferred design according to corsair. i9 13900k and a 3080ti, they generate some heat, I can use the PC as a space heater but it doesn't have a problem keeping the temps normal. The only downside I've seen is a 360 doesn't fill the entire mounting area and leaves some air gaps but you dont notice it once its installed and the extra gaps might even be good for me since its neg air flow.

I want ONE software to control them all, and I dont like Armory Crate at all. Is there any way this is feasible ?

[@MHTownsend57]

Please tell me or anyone who has tried this with this case, can you put a 360mm RAD with fans on the side intake and still have 3 fans on the front as an intake. I truly feel this would be the absolute best air flow possible. I saw an air flow test with smoke and these are the best findings. 360mm rad with 3 fans on the side pulling in air, 3 fans on the front pushing that slightly warmed air mixed with the new cool air toward the board, then 2 120mm top fans with one rear 120mm exhaust fan. They found 3 120mm tops fans actually sucks out a lot of the cold air before it reaches over the CPU area and they found cooler temps with only two top exhaust fans. So, will this allow a side mounted 360mm red with 3 fans and then adding 3 front 120mm fans without hitting each other?

You can, I installed an H150i exactly that way. I don't use the dust filter since I don't want to obstruct the exhaust at all but then the RGB fans are at the inner roof for pushing air through the radiator. Works really well and solves the space issue he has with the CPU power cable in this video. I love this case, it made building really easy since there are so many places to mount things and hide cables. Cheers!

Put the gpu rad in the top exhausting out cause they generate more heat then cpus, i have the gigabyte 2080ti xtreme waterforce and it gets hotter then my 3900x on the corsair 360 rad. So you dont wanna be pumping all that heat into your case.

[@brent4770]

Thanks! I'm about to do a 5000D build with a Kraken X73 and a RTX 3090 Hybrid so (2) radiators. I was wondering how to do it. I'm thinking I need room temp air coming through both of the radiators into the case and then exhausted through the back and top?? So the radiators installed in the back and front?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I don't think you can do that from what I've read. It can only be top and front or top and back (assuming you mean side). Not both at the front/side.

[@brent4770]

@@TheProvokedPrawn ok thanks! : ) I saw another video on it and he said not to exhaust out the back when air is coming in from the front because the cooler air will not get to the motherboard as much. Might leave the back alone and do a simple pull from the front/top and push out the back.

[@joumasevoet]

hi I need some help, if I have intake on the front, then intake from the top with a radiator and do a push pull, and only 1 fan for exhaust on the rear, will that be sufficient enough circulation?

[@german719]

Yes, because as long as you have positive pressure air is being forced out.

What model are those front fans?

[@Pandemonium088]

Is it possible to have the side fans installed while keeping cable hiding tray, maybe 12-15mm thickness fans can fit?

[@imarickjames]

I tried to do this exact thing with ll120s and they mounted fine with the shroud in place, but ended up removing it as it was extremely difficult to get my sleeved cables through it and connected to the motherboard. It was putting a lot of pressure on the connections at the motherboard (I.e. usbc and usb3 connectors).

[@Pandemonium088]

@@imarickjames Glad to hear that regular 25mm fans can fit, maybe a 15mm fan can ease the pressure om those cables

What if you used a 240mm rad instead of 360 could you use three rad total? Put a 360 on top, 360 in the front and 240 on the back area. Thought?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Doubtful. I think the reason you can't fit three is because of the space back there.

[@imUnread]

I'm not sure if I'll get a reply, but am I missing something with this tower? Now granted, im not educated on pc building but I have an old tower for my setup I'm currently using and it has a ton of usbs in the back of it to plug my monitors, my audio interface, my mouse and keyboard and ethernet into the back and I see absolutely nothing on the back of this tower for any of that. The only thing I see is the usbs on top of this tower. Any help please?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

They're all on the motherboard?

[@krayzieegg7294]

This case isnt my first choice but forced to buy this because the lian li o11 d mini is out of stock atleast the one that makes sense to buy price wise. Im already payed too much on the gpu and cost piled up really fast. This case feel like im still stuck in the 90s because of the tower design compared to the lian li. But to be fair even though this is an impulse buy because of desperation watching more and more builds for this, i feel like i wont have regrets on this one. The o11 mini is just a freaking beautiful case. I would still buy the o11 mini case in the future when it restock and get cheaper more

One thing that I still don't understand from watching any of the Corsair 5000D reviews, is whether or not the cable cover in front of the side fan housing can be left in place when the side and front fans are installed. While that might seem like a pointless idea, I figured the cable cover would direct airflow (or suction) from the side fans directly over the motherboard, while also mitigating airflow conflict/cancellation between the front and side fans.

[@Pandemonium088]

Wondering this my self, nobody has mentioned this on the reviews Ive seen so I suspect it wont fit but im hoping a 12-15mm fan can fit.

Could you tell me how many ssd trays they give you? Is it only 3? Thanks

[@HyRax_Aus]

Three 2.5" mounts plus two 5.25" bays that you could use too (total five places), but if you have a modern system with motherboard-mountable M.2 drives, use that first. There is loads of space on the plate behind the motherboard that you could stick another two 2.5" SSD's with double-sided tape if you were really committed! My system doesn't use any of the SSD mounts or the 5.25" bays at all, but they are there if I need them. All my drives are M.2's mounted on the motherboard.

[@bradmacklin7265]

Why didn’t you run the tubes from the AIO from the front of the case vs the rear? Just wondering since I am buying this case and I’ll have three fans in front, three on side, one exhaust at rear, and 360mm AIO on top

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

No particular reason

Hey! Can I install the AIO radiator on the top,under the dust filter?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

🤔🤔 interesting question. Something I'd have to investigate. Are you thinking rad on top, fans inside?

[@imtiazeahmed5387]

Yeah! Rad on the top Then 3 fans inside So if anyone has non white radiator that can be not displayed

[@phrostbyte8260]

you cant cause theres no hole for the tubes to run lol, also dont use filters on exhaust fans, youll just reduce airflow and increase noise.

[@legodude275]

Could you tell me if the hoses on that AIO would reach if the RAD was placed tubes downs front mounted please? My calculations say yes but I would like to double check

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I'd imagine it would be very tight. I'll try to remember to check when I take it apart.

[@legodude275]

@@TheProvokedPrawn awesome thank you. I think it’ll barley clear. Otherwise I’ll have to top mount which means investing in 3 extra fans to populate the front which if I want to match the ML fans, that’s 110$ ish. Rather avoid that! Haha

[@legodude275]

Also I don’t know if having more exhaust would be good. Because if I had it top mounted, I’d have 3 fans on the radiator as exhaust, 3 intake fans, and one more exhaust on the back. So 4-3 I think that might create negative pressure.

[@legodude275]

So I just got my 5000 in the mail today, unfortunately rad didn’t fit in front. So that leaves me at, 3 ml120’s as intake on the front, the rad up top used as exhaust and a 7th fan for exhaust at the back. My concern was having more exhaust than intake. Should I just leave out the 7th fan(exhaust at the back) and leave it 3 intake, 3 exhaust? Or?

Your not supposed to use the pci-e input in the bottom of your mobo, unless your running multiple gpus's. It is there to ensure they dont draw to much wattage over the 24pin, nothing else.
