Corsair 5000x Build Guide: Avoid This Mistake!

[@silentwolf1301]

i basically almost have the same parts as you! a diff cpu mb psu and gpu but watching you build this has made me regret missing these steps when i built mine 20 days ago, Awesome vid Keep it up many people will think this is a blessing when building out of this case! 😁

[@666Necropsy]

nice GPU sag

[@anokt97]

I built a pc from scratch for the first time. Your video helped me so much dude. Clear instructions, chilling on the beat. Thx from France.

[@cajun26bc]

Building my first one. Hardest part for me is knowing which cables go where

[@D0CTS]

I've built 2 PCs in this case and both times I just stuffed all the cables in the back, closed that shroud, and stuck the tempered glass on it so it would stop bulging. I can confirm, I should have cable managed the way you did, but it doesn't bother me as long as the front is clean.

[@Zero-ft3sf]

nice build and this case seems to have lot of potential it might be the case I go for when I'm going to upgrade my 7-8 years old pc

[@UnannouncedFart]

Thanks for making this video. It was super helpful.

[@masterpc-9845x]

Thanks! I got this case today and it helped me here.

[@whali2651]

Hi i have problem with connecting this case to SignalRGB how can i connect it please ?

[@karlos1060]

I am getting this case, ordered it to replace my Crystal X570 one. Just because it can have the Corsair 150i radiator on the top and the mounting is nicer. Also i always install the cpu bracket before installing the motherboard to the pc. In your case it was not a big deal, but sometimes it can be. I have the Z790 Asus rog strix mobo that looks very similar to yours. Love the GPU release button. Also i would add a GPU sag stand to such heavy card. I am wondering how the temps and airflow is, as i read online it's less then the Crystal X570 wich would be a bit dissapointing. However i love the case and looks of it, and now it's only 159€ inclusing shipment for the 5000X rgb so not a bad deal at all imho.

[@yodamann5193]

Great vid, thanks, just got this for my new build, this is the first time I ever had to RTFM (video ) LOL

[@AndreMaurell]

Ótimo vídeo. Me ajudou a não optar por esse gabinete e nem water cooler da Corsair, pois, usar duas conexões USB da placa mãe para poder controlar o RGB das ventoinhas, ao meu ver é um desperdício de recursos, não gosto dessas conexões proprietárias.

[@frankshailes3205]

The right-hand panel and door (with the cables behind) seems awkward to remove to dust the interior, unlike the left-hand panel. Would you recommend removing it less frequently, or not at all, I don't think there's airflow on that side? (Apart from the separate fan partition).

[@Arhan28]

I’m impressed with how you got the cpu psu cables to clear the aio. I wasn’t able too.

[@Arhan28]

tell me about those cpu cables and how you smashed them for the AIO? :D

[@hayloft3568]

Wait, you have only 3 intake fans for 4 exhausts ?

[@Taras-Nabad]

Good video but you gotta tell me why you don't trust the stock thermal paste.

[@muskateer10]

Is there room for a 1000W power supply ATX 3.0? Are the front panel USB (which are on top, it looks like) cause any problems "i.e. getting dirt/dust" or other items falling inside of them?

[@mikehoncho5326]

I have a 1000w Corsair RMx shift in my 5000x. Fits perfectly. Have not had any issues with front panel usbs

[@Clipshift_]

will a 140mm corsair hydrocooler fit on the top of this tower?

Loved your video

[@badca7tv342]

What am I suppose to if my cables are too short?

[@keknoi1692]

evga cards looks really good to bad they dont make gpu now the closest one that looks pretty much closer to the looks of it is nitro 7900xtx but availability is meh and many scalper priced

[@SignalRGB]

If you can find a good-condition used EVGA 3090 it will last you a long time before you upgrade, you don't always need to spend a ton on the latest generation models.

[@keknoi1692]

@@SignalRGB yeah would have gpne 3090 but really want to skipt gens when im upgrading gpu im on 2080 it barely keeps up with modern games at 1440p thats why im going 7900xtx would have gone for a 4080 but they are really really expensive

[@Jimmylovessalt]

what is the temp of the cpu when playing games?

[@DEMONKING_Tech]

when i use signal rgb my keyboard lights shut off

[@ccarrero33]

Awesome video!, one question, How good are the thermals?

[@SignalRGB]

Thermals are great! It gets plenty of air flow.

[@mikestrohd]

I’ve problem with monitor, I tried follow you as much as possible. The system boot up fine, I guess. But when connecting my monitor to any hdmi port either the gpu or motherboard It said not detected device on the monitor. I connected a mouse in the usb port it lighted up. So I guess something is correct but not fully. Have you encountered such a problem? What should I do?

[@valykis]

Should the front 6 fans be intaking air or exhausting?

[@iamamish]

I found this video and thought, "Wow, this guy really seems to like Signal RGB, I wonder why he didn't use iCue?" I'm not the smartest person in the room.

[@Dropsix]

What about the drives? Thanks for the video! I just bought the same case

[@SignalRGB]

[@JamesSmith-rf8wo]

@@SignalRGB The 3.5 HDD bays were dicarded? In the Corsair page you can see the drives next to the PSU but with no room for cables. I don't get it...

[@Rancid_Ninja]

So annoying that they have 7 visible fans and the controllers only connect 6, I'm not running two controllers for one extra fan

[@TB163]

I saw that too but I wonder if the motherboard has a connector for the rear fan that remains "always on".

[@Rancid_Ninja]

@@TB163 would be fine if it wasn't a matching rgb fan, otherwise it would need to be on the controller. I ended up running the top three fans as just all black Corsair elites fans to avoid the second hub

[@martinslavik8557]

same! buying top three fans without RGB due to this

[@Rancid_Ninja]

@@martinslavik8557 I ended up doing a rosewill brain with 7 rosewill fans and the top 3 I ran Corsair non RGB elites, been working well

[@Ilumiizoldyck]

Can I fit a eatx motherboard on this one?

[@tboy012]

I can’t get the app to turn the lights on using ll120 with commander xt , any suggestion ?

[@lmh1544]

Great but I’m really needing you guys to get 5000T support. Signal RGB kind of works with the case but not really lol can’t get the case rgb strips and all my fans to light up in proper order. Lot of guesswork.

[@SignalRGB]

For the case strips, you can create custom strips in the components configuration, and then you'll have individual control over each strip, i suggest watching the layouts tutorial too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6XceKCIa7B7acU

[@lmh1544]

​@@SignalRGB Ahh thank you for replying! I have done this but did a very hack job at it! I dived back into it and finally found what works: Seven 21LED strips. Has to be 7, has to be 21LEDs. No other combo has worked properly for me. One of those strips i set in the 4pin port. IDK why, but it's the only way I could get all the strips lit up *fully* along with my 4 fans that share the same Commander (I have 2 Commanders installed as I have a total of 10 fans in the case). All fans and strips are now properly active and it's beautiful. So, I hope what I did doesn't sound crazy lol

[@ligokleftis]

if i get this case, do i have to use all corsair brand cooling with it?

[@Crypto_Ellis]

Can you do a video on how to oc the ram to get it up to the intended speeds on this motherboard, thanks

[@SignalRGB]

Go into bios and enable xmp

[@FilipinoAko24]

Will the PNY XLR8 4070ti be supported soon?

[@9x9gaming85]

Can ypu add the trident z5 s and the new zotac gpus to signal rgb? The zotac will be very popular as it is the only 40 series card with acceptable aethetics and rgb , which i would love to sync with my corsair case and fans with signal rgb, and the trident z5s are just cheaper. Please read this comment i will join signal rgb if this happens

[@choppergirl]

I find the whole Corsair RGB mess confusing as phwwk. There's liek two controllers or splitter in here, plus I got a Commander Core... so do I plug all my fans into the Core and ignore the other two, or what? They should of done a bar where just everything plugs into and be done with it, instead of two cables fore verything and a whole different line of controllers. Or maybe i have a Commander Pro. Who knows. I'm tempted to ignore it all. I wisht there would of been like five 3.5 platter bays where the side radiator mount is that will enver be used.. I spent some coin on this because I thought it' make the build enjoyable and actually doable for a blind person, but all it does is confuse me... and I've built and reparied hundreds of computers... three or four whole comptuer labs at one time.

[@poitiers2853]

Yeah the RGB connector thing is ridiculous. 4-pin 12v RGB and 3-pin 5v aRGB, splitters, headers, hubs...the motherboard wants to do one thing and the separate controller wants to do another thing. Then there's the iCUE software which is a nightmare to figure out, even with Corsair's guides. As far as the side radiator mount goes, that's where my AIO GPU radiator is going.

[@choppergirl]

@@poitiers2853 They should build the wiring into the case, so all you do is plug into a bus connector right whereever nay fan could go. Like the wiring harness on a car or airplane, or the electrical system in your house. You don't run extension cords all over the place for every item. Personally, I'd rather the lighting was controlled by some hardware switches on a box. Then, it matters not what operating system in installed. So in 2057 when Corsair is defunct and we're running Windows 21, your case lighting is still going to work just fine with no CPU overhead. Smart stuff... I've found.. is incredible dvmb. From android watches to Alexa to Google Nest to self driving cars. It's all really... very.. badly.. designed.

Did you ever figure out the relationship between the two rgb things on the case and the commander core?

[@DemolutionTV]

Your cpu coolers are setup for intake or exhaust? Thanks

[@thebiitz]

The way he installed them in the video they should act as exhausts pushing air from the top of the case to the outside. Which is one of the most common approaches.

[@Rancid_Ninja]

Hot air naturally rises so the top should be exhaust

[@DemolutionTV]

@@Rancid_Ninja I've been always wondering isn't it better for cpu to intake cold air instead of exhaust hot air out.

[@Rancid_Ninja]

@@DemolutionTV push the air thru the cooler from the front and pull it out of the case in the back with the exhaust fan, air cooled CPU coolers tend to do better with two fans. I'm using a peerless assassin 120 dual tower currently

As long as MSI remains unsupported by SignalRGB, it will always get a thumbs down from me. You need to get have this addressed, as it has been an issue for years on end.
