Still THE Case to buy in 2024? - Corsair 4000D Airflow Review

RGB trash on your face in dark room

[@Farrcast7]

I have this case with 2 sticks of rgb corsair vengeance ram and the deepcool ak500 digital. Its absolutely minimal rgb with an all black design

[@balesjo]

I agree with your statement about simply leaving out the inexpensive fans and reducing the price of the case by several dollars. Every case I've ever used, the first thing I do is to remove the stock fans and replace with better PWM fans (I like using Noctua fans). I have a box filled with fans from prior cases I've accumulated over a couple of decades, keeping them in case a fan fails I will have a temporary backup. Otherwise, I have liked prior Corsair cases I've used and am considering replacing my current case with either the 4000D or 5000D case just to have easier access to my front filter for cleaning. My current one, I have to pull it to a point it hangs over the edge of the desk in order to get my hand underneath the front panel so I can yank it off to get to the filter. Sounds easy, but I can't take the front panel off due to wires connecting the front RGB and the front I/O jacks connected to the panel, so it has to either hang there or put back on and then removed again to replace the filter. Just too much hassle so I don't clean the filter as often as I need to.

[@rahovartiv3464]

My first build is in this, i think its a solid choice for a case. Only thing i wish it had would be for the glass panel to be able to swing open and not be screwed in with the screws. I didnt use the stock fans though i bought some arctic fans instead

If the 4000D and Lancool 216 are the same price, would you recommend the 216? I've not understood what makes the 4000D so amazing to always be the top seller on amazon. Also, wondering if you have any thoughts on the Asus Ap201 as that's also on my short list

[@TechHunterOfficial]

AP201 is a fantastic mATX Case and looks really clean once you're done with it. The Lancool 216 is also a really good case too. The 216 probably has more niche features to make building easier but I think it looks a little boring and cheap.

Just built my computer today in this case. As a student i had to do some budget cuts so i got the cheapest motherboard i could which meant a micro atx :). It was a pain in the bum everything was so small and compact, and my nh-d15 cooler just took over the entire build basicly. Looks sick though and runns any game i throw at it. Good case, easy to use but i would recommend getting better fans since the ones in it are decent as a start.

[@abdullah_z101]

Would an mATX motherboard fit here like ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 ?

Tell me , please , if Arctic P14 PWM PST will narrow the space for my "MSI - MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI" together with a "G. SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MT/s " or should i better buy a Arctic P12 PWM PST??? Also , is it a good setup at the top this one i mentioned (preinstalled fan together with this new one)??? Thank u very much!

[@TechHunterOfficial]

The liquid freezer 3 is a beast! Good choice. Personally I'd say just grab all 120mm arctic p12 fans. Ditch the pre-installed ones, they are awful compared to the Arctic ones. If you want 140mm fans they should be okay up top no problem. Just install them at the very end as it'll be much easier. They screw in from the top anyway

[@marks9233]

Thanks for the great vid! Maybe interested in revisiting the Lian Li Lancool 216? It seems like it still kicks everything's butt in terms of build quality, thermals, dual 160 front argb fans (with crazy separate blade and ring rgb control panel), and price/performance. I guess it has dropped off of most people's radar, but seems like a GOAT to me. More worthy of a revisit than the 4000D, imho, but I guess everyone and their dog still buys the 4000 (according to the Amazon top sales list)

[@pascaldifolco4611]

It's ok, but still not a good value case imo, no fans (or too expensive fans..), poor front I/O, a Phanteks G360 or Deepcool CH560 offer better value And a LianLi216, while a bit more expensive at £110, is a tier above

[@Zetrym_]

Hi im looking to build my first pc. would u recoommend this case or the cool master td500?

RGB is getting tired, IMO. I appreciate that Corsair made the glass so dark you wouldn't know it was glass unless there were lights on inside. I wish Corsair, NZXT, etc. optioned windowless cases. I believe Fractal does.

[@cyvan1750]

Yeah that's the case I ended up with as my third choice. The other two wouldn't ship at the same time as my other components. It was fine once I got the components installed but I wanted to adjust something inside and pulled the tempered glass side. The corner of it hit the desk and shattered : |. I called Corsair support and had them send me the right hand metal panel instead since I realised that it was usable on both sides. I had no RGB whatsoever and even turned off all the lights on the motherboard so the tempered glass was useless for me anyway. Other than the shattered glass its been a great case. I have 2 Phantex T30's in the front and BQ Silent Wings 4 exhaust at the back and on top at the rear pulling heat off the Noctua DH15S atop my 5900x. I noticed the restriction with the top mesh as well. So I just placed a pencil under it directly above the fan to give more breathing room. I Also have a 2060 GPU for now. when I max out everything with Cinebench 23 and Heaven for the GPU my temps top out at about 78C for the CPU and 74C for the GPU.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

That's a shame about the glass, but I agree, it's so dark you can't see inside anyway so the solid or glass panel doesn't matter. The t30's are great fans, I'd like to get a couple of them in. Haha I like the pencil idea with the dust filter! Good thinking

[@MartilloB]

The case looks nice but I find it weird that the bottom dust filter has a grid to stabilize the mesh while the large front filter has not. I'm afraid that the plastic mesh will weaken with time and use and will touch the fans making noise.

Im a beginner, sorry idk anything about all this pc stuff but, if a want fans of it, do I have to buy them separately?

I'm getting tired of cheap cases makers. This should come with 4 high quality fans tested by the manufacturer for this specific case.

[@AmateurStorytime]

The idea of not including any fans in most cases is so you can add the ones you personally want. I'd much rather have a cheap case with no fans than a more expensive case with fans I don't like. Imagine if the case was $200, and it came with good quality fans, but you didn't like the look of said fans and you had to replace them anyway.

Just bough one of these cases before Christmas. When it arrived and I unpacked it I was a bit miffed to find the glass side panel didn't seem to fit very well. When screwed in at the rear it left the front sitting too far back so the panel couldn't hook in at the front. I realised the reason was because the small steel strip that the screws pass through was bonded too far forward, there was actually a 5-6mm overhang of the glass panel, whereas it should be flush. Needless to say the supplier is now sorting this issue out for me and supplying a replacement panel thankfully, this was not their fault and to be honest I'm very grateful for their help. At this price point I'm a bit disappointed with corsair. Apparently I'm not the only person to have had this issue with this case. It's a shame because other than that it would still be well worth the money. 😕

I have this case and i am studying how many fans i should put in and how should i install them... i know it needs to be close to neutral but a tad more positive.. so more intake than exaust... so now i know i will put the 3 fans in front and try and test to take off and on that lil ledge at the bottom front for more airflow to my gpu... i will also try to compare with only 1 fan at the back vs 1 at the back and 1 on top both exaust to see if i see drops in temp. the 6th fan i think is just not good as if you instal it for exaust it will kick the air out before it even reach the cpu so i think its better to leave it out/unplugged or even make it as a 4th intake fan but i do not like making a top fan an intake for the dust reasons and my balance will be more off as i will have too much intake vs exaust... this is more complicated then i first anticipated to have the maximum out of my investment but it is quite interesting... so conclusion i think the best will be 3 intake in front with or without the small pannel/ledge and 2 exaust one at the back one on top as far back as it can go.. hopefully my GPU will receive enough air that way as i will get closer to a neutral setup as it can be.

That was a long comment but I read it all haha. I think start with 3 intake at the front. 2 exhaust up top, and 1 at the rear. Then you're completely neutral. You could also use 140mm fans too, they move more air and at lower speeds than 120mm fans

@@TechHunterOfficial I won't be neutral as my GPU also pushes air out no? Oh and i already have 6x 140mm, my concern is that the top one that is more to the front seems to be a hindrance as it blow the air out before it even reach my pc parts. By the way thank you for your answer it is appreciated !

Your GPU will generate a lot more heat than it'll exhaust. What cpu and GPU are you using?

@@TechHunterOfficial CPU : 5600x overclocked to 5Ghz turbo with a freezer 34 Esports Duo. GPU : overclocked 4070. Mobo : Rog Strix B550-F Gaming I am now running 2 fans front (the two lowest) and one at the back (lowest it can go as it is a little adjustable). It works amazingly well. Lowest temps I've gotten so far. Tomorrow I receive the missing wire. I will be able to test with 4 and 5 fans configuration as well. I will update you on the results if you are interested. I will not be putting the 6th fan in as I am pretty certain it will make it worse to have a fan exhausting air right before it reaches my CPU cooler. I could try it as an intake fan but i dislike the idea of having a top fan blowing down as the dust filter isn't as good as the front one plus it would create too much positive pressure. I am excited to test it tomorrow. Thank you again for your amazing videos and for your interest in this matter. I did not expect this level of complexity when i first started to read about this. It is a fun ride !

@@TechHunterOfficial I would really appreciate if you could please confirm that i can indeed plug my 3 front fan into a single mobo fan connector using a splitter cable? So far my researches says yes but I would like a professional opinion. Thank you again for your time.

My case didnt have front panel connectors. Does anyone know where I can get them?

[@TechHunterOfficial]

Surely just return it and get another case?
