[@obsidian1111]

You know that urge to buy a new product, but you don't actually need it? I want the 5000D now.

[@Darjia]

I watched your m.2 reviews and now this case review and I think your reviews are solid and informative and don't have a bias vibe to them so I have subscribed... great job

[@JD-McC]

Thorough and succinct presentation. Thank you.

[@dantheman7357]

Another first class , practical and intelligent review. Even the clean and tidy background and nice music is well done. I would gladly view ANY content from this young lady. WTG Techtesters.

[@VainSoftGames]

Wow! That case looks amazing! Very clean looking.

[@legodude275]

This model solves every issue I had with the 4000d airflow. 2 usb on the top, room for a 360mm and overall just really solid space to cable manage. I like that it includes that back plate of metal behind the motherboard so you can use that space for example the Corsair hub, on the 4000d I had to sacrifice one of the 2.5 inch trays to stick my lightning node core pro hub. Luckily I had one day left to return my 4000d and purchased this and a replacement 360mm AIO. Very excited

[@bigdogpyrotechnics987]

I got the backplate for the 4000, was like $4

[@stefd68]

Solid work as always. This case is really impressive.

[@ronnie2696]

Nada and Stephen my favourite reviewers just don't stop keep on posting this beautiful videos

[@ChetanChidanand]

Love this case Nada, thank you 👍

[@techead23]

I'm building my nephews first computers and I was stuck on what case to get him, and then you come in with this video. Many thanks

[@swizzler8053]

I would choose for the 4000D version. Its way compacter.

[@LumenSage]

I just love your simplicity, there is beauty and elegance in simplicity.

[@akrav1983]

Would definetly go for the airflow version, if I was buying right now. Very informative review, love the white build.

[@luru112]

First video I watched of this channel. Nice video. Everything I wanted to know is in it :)

[@KGplays_]

Such a clean case had to order one for my new build

[@trble57]

Awesome review and I love your case, Nada. 😉 Great job... 👍💥👍

[@stringbreaker87]

I like the look, definitely matches my white and gray autonomous smart desk 2 / chair setup. But I'm holding on to the Cooler Master H500 since it can hold all 6 of my black chromax Noctua fans and the Air cooling is fantastic.

[@ModernGeekReview]

Great choice to display, the color I love it and review awesome ! I would love this case !

[@Ravendarat]

Ive never heard of this channel before, randomly got suggested for me. Have liked and subscribed now, seems like great content.

[@TechTesters]

Happy to hear 😁

[@kikogod]

Top review! Simple and to the point! Another great case from Corsair! But those 2 small fans look funny and weird in this big case :D

[@toddhudson9653]

Very cool review Nada. Yes, that would be my complaint as well regarding the paltry 2 fans you get with it. And plain ones to boot. Other than that it looks pretty sharp.

[@eduardovazquez5648]

Just in time!! I am building my first PC and was looking for a Corsair case, I was going for a 680X but just ordered my 5000X

[@megayadoran]

I've been looking for a review featuring the white h100i elite capellix so thanks for this :)

[@TuRF_HaWG_SJ_408]

I have the Corsair 220t rgb airflow and I love it! Great video 👍

[@nTnz_]

They actually fixed the problems and issues that I saw on the 4000-series cases. If I didn't have the Lian Li o11 Dynamic already, the Corsair 5000x White would have been my second pick. If you like the previous versions of this case, then I think you are going to love this version even more.

[@-MaxMax]

very nice case, I like that elegant, clean design!!

[@BadBeardDude]

Great job with this review. I only recently put together my new build in the 4000D Airflow and it's a lovely case. Biggest negative is not a lot of room to play around with when it comes to the hard drive tray in the bottom with the cables coming from the PSU stuffed in very tight. The 5000D looks more spacious though probably not worth swapping out my 4000D for this one thing.

[@TheSjuris]

Hard drive tray is still bad for cable managing. Both are great cases though.

[@cocoleclown9480]

Very nice review

[@TheRadElk]

This might very well be the next case I pick up whenever I'll rebuild my PC. I love the design and the fan options. As someone who has a 5-pack of Arctic P12 PWM fans and a 3-pack of Corsair fans, plus some others laying around, I don't mind the "lack" of fans at all. Pair this bad boi with an Arctic cooler and I think I'd be extremely satisfied with the temps AND its looks! It was no "Gamers Nexus temp test analysis", but it was enough for the average consumer and quite honestly, I do expect it to perform well in many scenarios. The flow and the delivery of the review was also exceptional, Nada. I felt so calm watching this 😅 It was also a bit funny to see you trying to find some cons aside from price and the two fans. Perhaps that they were black instead of white? Haha, guess it's fine, went well with the theme, like you said. Keep up the quality work and hope to see you soon, once the human malware pandemic is over :)

[@valch7772]

The 3090 amazon link with the "(Good luck :-/)" made me laugh. Great review btw. Usually I stay away from the corsair cases but this one actually gets my vote. It has plenty of space, decent airflow and I really like the 'lazy' cable management option. *toss cables in, shut door, forget about it*

[@willfreiwah3773]

Nice case, good video, thank you :-)

[@fdiskformat5049]

Same thermals with the new Corsair case and my 15 years old cooler master 2 I got 10 be quiet case fans in the case. It is not bad and nice looks that is all.

[@michaelthompson9798]

“Liked” 🥰👍🥳 great review of this case. Other reviews I’ve seen never showed the rear door covering the cables, the 3.5 drive bay etc which I thought was different to see from a case manufacturer 👍🤯😇

[@slc9800gtx]

I have this case and love it.

[@balesjo]

Around 2016, I built a system using a Corsair case that was VERY similar to this one, and absolutely loved it. The big factor was the ease with which I could access and clean the front filter, as our home is quite dusty with multiple dogs and cats tracking in dirt. I also liked that Corsair had replacement parts available at reasonable prices on their website. Unfortunately they discontinued that line of cases about the time I built my current system (the old one now resides on my sister's desk). What I detest about my current case is accessing the front filter for cleaning. To get to the pull slot on the bottom of the front panel, I have to pull it to a point the case extends over the edge of the desk. Then I have to yank the panel to loosen it. Add to that the cables that connect RGB and front panel I/O, the front panel has to hang lose while the filter is cleaned. I've finally reached the end of my patience and plant to replace the case with the Corsair 5000D Airflow case.

[@lambvindaloo]

very good review!

[@sosob3192]

I really enjoy your reviews :) PS : the Supprim X is the heaviest GPU I've ever seen !

[@bobbrock4221]

What an amazing case. My temps have been flawless.

[@jamesfan284]

🔥🔥great review

[@andreas_arvidsson]

One more for the algorithm! Nice work btw :)

[@babyjay2932]

Great review, I’m buying the rgb version. Just sucks you can’t buy it’s matching fans for a few months

[@ronm6585]

Thanks for the review. Case is not too bad looking.

[@itsmejenni101]

omg i want that pc in the background so pretty

[@bojke91]

It looks really good, color tones fit really nicely, but still I think I will go with Fractal Design Vector RS.

[@danm2368]

Honestly, the case looks so CLEAN and cool (temp wise)!

[@badmanbob3]

Great review as usual. Great presentation style without the fake excitedness. Cool case but a bit too big for me. Will probably get the 4000x instead.

[@paolodangelo2981]

Nice review. As Italian, I appreciate very much your clean speech, which I understand 100%. BTW, in my opinion the 5000D airflow is lacking a bit of originality compared to other solutions, but it's more leaned toward a better functionality.

[@rinusworldzm]

This case reminds me of the corsair 220T... I wonder if corsair will make a 330T... great video and awesome case.

[@MyAkikan]

i already bought it for the upgrade of my setup, i find this case is so well done honestly. All is there to have the possibility to work with airflow. You can push/pull at the top, you have enough space at the front and has possibility for side fans, and a 6 fan controller is included. For me its not a problem that only 2 fans are included in it, because i take my old fans in this new build, but i can completely understand what you mean. For someone who decide to buy it for its first build to have 3 fans would be greater for sure ! when you keep in mind thaht each fan cost "only" 19$ or something like that^^ I need some components now to put all in my 5000D but im really happy to find a good case for airflow and not so "expensive" and too "fanzy" from the design. I love when its looking really simple from the outside like a classic case with a little modern design touch and then in the inside you make something really crazy haha

[@plavanbarua7260]

I am planning to purchase this case,but I have heard that the glass panel is too fragile,is it true?.

[@alexmar4252]

It seems decent. I wonder how it handles dust... meaning how fast does it clog or fill its filters with max number of fans

[@halistinejenkins5289]

i would've like to seen a 140mm fan slot in the back as large as it is. otherwise, it's as solid as it's smaller sibling. gj!

[@thehumaneye1]

looks great

[@philipkuhl5749]

really nice, I love Corsair!

[@enkvlogs]

Eagerly looking forward to Techtester’s CES 2021 Gaming Laptops round up! If possible please also share your thoughts on mobile RTX 30 series, mobile Ryzen 5000 and Intel’s upcoming 11th Gen gaming focused CPUs.

[@codygrinnell8676]

I might get this case.. but already rocking 12 ql fans..

[@Bormyr]

I would love to see that airflow model with a solid side panel instead of the tempered glass.

[@matthijs_k]

Nada ♥️

[@user-qz3yp7ju6p]

When can you make a video on the 5000 X RGB Case?

[@hikmetsen6734]

Thank you

[@exia7684]

Damn why did I subscribed to this channel just now?!

[@JB-tz9pi]

She's hot!

[@richy581]

Would you consider retesting and putting 3 strong 120 fans in the front or the side and seeing the temperature difference

[@VigneshKumar93]

Thanks for the detailed review it was really helpful escpecially about the removal of 3.5 inch HDD if we fit a radiator in front, i just bought a new GPU Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3080 Xtreme 10G, it was so tight in my current case i have "Corsair carbide 175 R", hope my GPU card will fit in this case , but this case falls under expensive one and they could have given one more 120mm fan. I also have a question , i have a 1000W corsair SMPS "Corsair HX1000" and also i have 3.5 HDD and im not placing any Radiator in front, will those to fit under that space?

[@DairyQueen2187]

Hurray!!!!

[@ejhc9628]

This is my next case, right now I have 6 ll120 fans after I buy the Capellix I might use the included RGB controller to control the last 3 fans

[@mitoCoroadoJr]

My case😍😍😍

[@HighIgnition]

Weird at the beginning of the year the airflow version was really common in my country (México) stores, easy to get but having the 4000 version I thought "maybe later in the year", now I have 2 months trying to buy it and it's sold out everywhere!! It's available in some stores for around $500 USD!!, I saw the white one version and while I was thinking about the fact of changing colors it went sold out also so finally I was able to get the 5000D (non airflow version) in black :) for about $140 USD shipping included, waiting for it ;)

[@abdulhakim8389]

Seems as solid as the previous 4000 series. I like the cable managing concept, and the options it offers. Pretty clean look and the roominess inside is impressive for a mid-size tower case. However, in my opinion, is a bit too pricey, my Canadian dollar exchange considered. That said, I would rather invest that extra money into a better CPU or GPU and go for a middle of the road Case. At any rate, again thank you for laying down the pros and cons so well that make our buying decisions if anything educated. Cheers!!

[@civildk9077]

AWESOME "Filtration" video! Suggested title "High Air Flow w/ FILTRATION". As ALL air flow, depends upon GOOD Filtration and I hunt and peck for GOOD videos with demonstration of the 'ease of accessibility' function to maintain good Filtration. I'm on a seemingly personal mission so to speak of shifting focus on to this topic. We worry too much about what goes in the pc cases and the air flow that is solely dependent upon the 'air quality' it gets.

[@estazainal]

Please review the White Corsair 5000X Tempered Glass version, not many video on this model......TQ

[@JayzBeerz]

that case is huge.

[@eliasrauf]

Hi sister hope you are doing well, last year i had a negative comment on the G15 from asus eventhough i liked the video obviously. But this year is a complete turn to Asus' lineup, i would love to see your take on the new G15! Take care!

I hope they will update the obsidian and graphite line as well...

[@flipboi952]

I like it. Glad I held off buying the 4000

[@TechTesters]

Might do a comparison actually. The 4000 is fine especially for the price, but this is definitely nicer.

[@samwiththecam3302]

Don’t know if I should get the 4000D or the 5000d for my build. I won’t be doing custom water cooling but I like the look of having a 360mm AIO at the top... 5900x and 3070 vision

[@TechTesters]

If you've got the budget, the 5000D is a bit nicer, especially with an AIO in the top.

[@chocodil2]

Have you tested any riser cables that work out of the box with this Case? Im worried about the height of the PSU cover

[@snigdhasarraf2743]

plz make a video on your cooler master c700m

[@ShawnStrickland]

Well I just found the case for my new pc :D

[@marcobarbaro4034]

Great vid as usual! Only 69c for the 3090??? Did you close the case and stress the gpu at full load? It seems very very low for an almost 400w gpu...

[@JMP1337]

Having one myself, I'm pretty sure the suprime is binned, so when you buy one you win the silicon lottery. I run the card at 1980 MHz stable @ 65c. I have a "closed" case (fractel design 2, meshed front and top), but a few more fans though. No water cooling. Saying it weighs a fuck ton, and thus has a fantastic cooling is stupid. But their cooling of the VRM on the backplate is somewhat unique? And coolers are made of metal, and the bigger the cooler and the more metal you have...the better its performance? Its 375 euros above MSRP so the price is also ridiculously high. @Techtester independent review, 3090 MSI suprime, pretty please?

[@kennycasey286]

can you include Canadian prices in reviews? thanks

[@GodsSoldier2]

I just bought the black case, non rgb. That white case is looking pretty good tho

[@TechTesters]

It's a nice case, enjoy :)

[@pabloesco2007]

I'm gonna buy the 5000D airflow and add 3 fan in front RGB pwn. I'm really interest by the holder GPU , is it possible to have a link for this ? (in white if possible). Thanks for the video , that's help me a lot. :)

I am officially jumping ship from O11D XL to this case for future white build. Looking to build one with white Elite capellix 360 AIO as well. Question: do we really lose the ability to put the 3.5 drive cage if we put the optional side PSU cover? at 6:52 I think the drive cage sits all the way into the main PSU cover

[@TheSjuris]

The optional cover closes up the PSU shroud preventing the movement of the HDD cage.
