Corsair 5000D Review Build and Live Build Guide! | Robeytech

The Corsair 5000d Airflow, a hot request from many of you and making it’s initial debut on the channel. This $2500 PC is housed in this new airflow addition from Corsair, the 5000d Airflow. Powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 3900x and cooled by the newly available white H150i Elite Capellix from Corsair all of which is paired with another new card to the show the MSI RTX 3070 Suprim. This frosty PC has all the right parts in all the right place in what should be a stunning color scheme no less. Did I also mention the giveaways for tonight like NVMe Hard Drives, Gift Cards and more. Should be a great way to kick off the weekend. Also stay tuned for the end for closing thoughts and what we felt about the case overall.

I have my rad on mb side with a push fan setup. After watching this I’m gonna switch the radiator to top mount. It’s so much cleaner looking

[@Gadsby_wav]

Build looks great man, just a quick question. Currently putting together something similar myself, except with the capellix 115. Is it wise to wire all my Corsair rgb fans to the commander core or would you recommend using the node for the chassis fans? Heard a few different things so just after some guidance 😊

[@midnightclub7629]

still rocking the 750d !!

[@hanzandfranz5337]

This is a really nice looking case. I just ordered one for my new build. My old case is too small for the components going into it.

[@papasmurf5598]

The worst part about this case is that the PSU shroud takes up the entire bottom of the case. I bought the View 51 TG case which puts the PSU in the back side of the case giving you all that extra room up front. Also the back panel has lots of meshed holes for extra cooling and the cable management is a breeze with tons of room in the back.

[@alichehab5804]

That looks crazy good

[@vosey7969]

Hi robey love your videos but can I ask why you never install fans above the psu under the gpu when the case allows like this 5000D. I think 2 fans would have looked great there.

[@jaysnatches8005]

I have this exact gpu. And was wondering how it would look and fit in this case. Possibly my next purchase. Thanks for the video!

[@Miguel-hw8hj]

i managed to scramble when alerted to a x trio 3070..... fucker doesnt fit properly in my t220 case..... had to put the middle front fan on the outside of my case lmao. i may invest in one of these too...

[@alichehab5804]

Love the new set.

[@steelpanther88]

can you make a PC build where you show the IO shield installation with a motherboard that doesnt have built-in IO shield. Also make that same PC build have push pull AIO cooling setup, I'd honestly like to see a push pull AIO cooling installation because Ive never seen it done on a tutorial style video, so I'm open to tips regarding that.

[@The01NoOb]

Dream build with dream color scheme. Incredible

[@sophiecooper174]

great video, I am building my own pc atm I was just wondering if you could recommend and alternate gpu that would work in this set up that's a cheaper option?

Was just looking up the case, and came across your video. I was going to buy a pre-build, but I said f it and try and build one myself. But the only thing I have it, id love to learn and build my 2 pc's my self. But I'm afraid of messing it up or doing something wrong and it not working. 🤣🤣

[@frankcook5884]

Just to make it clear in 4:17 to remove front peace you don't need to remove back peace, there are 2 screws that are accessible and back peace is not even blocking it from pulling it up

Y’all ain’t have no business making that beat go so hard at 08:00

[@gscurd75]

Anyone know if you still fit fans on the side of the case and leave the cover on so you are blowing air directly on your motherboard?

[@MrLazer44]

I am a bit late but i have questions ^^ As a beginner i bought a coreliquid 360r from MSI and the pump is in the radiator (didn't knew that was possible), i want to mount it front with tubes running from bottom. Is it a bad idea to pull hot air in if i have 3 fans on top and one more in the back exhausting ? I only have rbg on the aio and gpu, do i need the corsair hub ?? Thank you =)

I'm surprised you didn't go with the Corsair icue link system, like I did. 👍

[@MegaGoonnigga]

did you use the comander pro to hook all the fans up?

[@DarkF0Rest]

I have a left over cable from the case pwm any thoughts on where to connect it

[@Nicc93]

i have the same motherboard and wondering if 5900x will work out of the box no update

[@kenzievalentine]

I nearly tore my house up, looking for that damn box of screws just to find it, "in the top tray slot, located on the bottom backside of the case, behind the wires, inside the brown box." Just in case you missed it like I did. 😅

[@biohazard6966]

Does this case come with all these fans and aio?

[@Sekai82]

Is it normal to have a small gap between the glass panel and the frame ontop on this case?

[@josephagustin5795]

@5:26 what model of fan controller is that? Thanks

[@Dwize23]

what about the hard drives where else can you put them with all the wires there

[@xxtoxicsnipzz1264]

I've heard 360mm radiators won't fit if top mounted but you seen to of done it easily

[@sleek_Ash]

Hey i got the 5000D what would I need to make the fans stop being on full which controllers and gadgets what I need ???

[@ravenrpg3865]

I don’t have individual sleeved pcie cables and I have the evga rtx 3090ti so I have to use 3 pcie cables. I can’t close my back panel and just let go without it bursting open. I have to use the screw to hold the door closed. Thank god for the panel that actually covers all of that. It’s so ugly in terms of cable management that I’ve considered buying a psu individually sleeved cable kit. I have the Corsair rm 1000x psu.

[@sxnjaa]

hey! so I am thinking of using this case for my first pc build but I am not too sure wether or not if I should use an aio cooler (nzxt kraken z73) on the top for exhaust or to do like push/pull. I am not too familiar with fans now, but I am hoping that someone might could help me here :)

[@originalityisdead.9513]

How do you get that metal plate off thats blocking the fans and the 24 pin adapter? This case is an absolute nightmare.

[@virexium6422]

So i can connect rgb fans to the pwm unit on this case? Or is it only for normal fans...

[@laurenceleacy7409]

Hey, do the USB ports work on the front of the 5000d Case? Ive put these parts into pc part picker and it says theres an issue with the board not having sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers

[@coolartkids2195]

How do you get so many gpus?

[@Miguel-hw8hj]

are heat sinks 100% necessery for M.2's? i have 2 slots on my motherboard but only one heat sink?

[@Isaw606]

Sorry PC noob here with a question I seem to have a similar build ordered (parts). CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x (overclocked + thermal compound) Mobo: Asrock B550 4/AC GPU: GeForce RTX 3070 PSU: Corsair RM1000i Series Gold plus Cooling: Corsair H60i Pro XT I’m going to be running this in a 4000D not 5000D. Going to be used primarily for gaming + streaming at same time. Maybe small video editing but nothing crazy. At the time I was looking into parts I was going to go either i5 or i7 after a bunch of reviews obviously I settled with Ryzen 9 3900x as it was recommended often in my price range and for the ability to run multiple programs easily but I fear now I’ve overlooked cooling I’ll be running 4 fans minus the cooling system. But I’m worried the H60 won’t be strong enough to keep the whole system cooled. I see in this build youre using h150 (wasn’t sure if it would fit comfortably) should o go straight to 150 or maybe try 110 or any other liquid recommendations?

[@perfecthips]

Hey, 5000D vs O11D which is better?

[@nextrider123]

are the fans in the back not needed?

[@fahadbarkat8583]

can the nzxt c850 fit with the hdd cage inside?

[@kenvan65]

Sorry for noobs, i am doing exact same build but how do you set the fans? The 3 front is pulling air in and the 3 on top w/radiator and one on back as push?

[@RobeytechLive]

[@rogercollins3]

What sag bracket is that for the GPU?

[@joeshon1]

Would it be beneficial to do a push pull config for the radiator? Or not much more benefit? Also how quiet is this particular build under full load?

[@doodlecaboodle9298]

I think there's more than enough room for intake that a push pull wouldn't be *as* beneficial as it would in a smaller or more restrictive case. Still would be beneficial though ^^

[@originalityisdead.9513]

Still cant get my AIO top mounted as the cpu power cables are blocking the fans, its too tight a fit.

[@straya_au_]

you dont need commander pro in this case?

[@Baby.gorilla..]

Can you change the rgb on that

[@r6liam657]

Did you even plug any of the front panel connectors into the board and if you did I take it you just left the USB type c unplugged seen as the board doesn't have a header for it? I want to know because I am getting the same case and motherboard and ram but I am thinking about buying some sort of adapter so I can have all the front panel connectors plugged in

[@latro666]

Hey, did you ever work this out? Thinking of the same case and mobo

[@rockerfellerpe]

8:09 The cable from the power source that powers the cpu is very close to the blades of the water fan. If any bumps or movements happen, the blades could not get to scrape and strip the cable?

[@Galaxy-rj1kj]

yeah it is super close but i think the point of this build was just for show

[@ryanturbogaming6428]

Hey, I’m thinking about doing a pretty much same build and I want to ask you about the fans. I’m going to have 7 Corsair fans and don’t really know how to sinc them. Is the pwm fan hub for the fans and Corsair rgb hub thingy for just rgb? And when I have 7 fans, is it enough for those hubs? I really want the rgb to be synchronized but don’t want pay extra for that Corsair hub if it isn’t necessary 😅 Edit: I just found the full video so it’s probably all there nevermind 😂
