Very timely video as I ordered a 2000D for my next desktop build. I picked up the combo bundle from corsair that includes the RGB version of the case, AIO, 1000W PS, and 2 additional fans. My main driver was getting a case that fit on my desktop instead of under the desk like my current mid-tower, because I don't ever want to hit my knee on my case anymore. The under the case cable plugins are better than under the desk plugins, but the big issue I see is making sure Wifi/Blutooth antennas are not directly mounted to the back shield and are on cables that can be remote from the back of the motherboard like most higher end mother boards have. The small footprint and capacity were better for my needs. I am doing an i7-13700k build as I plan to use this more for engineering sims and some video/audio editing but wanted the option for decent graphics for downtime gaming fun. I am currently leaning toward an MSI Slim GPU as this will allow the extra two fans to be mounted on the back and push air into the GPU. Thanks for making the video as it was an immense help!

Nice build, been torn between getting this case or nr200 for my new build, i plan on taking it as a carry on for quakecon

As someone who tends to overlook the obvious i appreciate the advice when it comes to pre rooting any necessary mobo cables. My case arrives tomorrow so glad this video was around

​@TheProvokedPrawn I do have a small question for you. I saw you installed your AIO fans on the outside of the rad (guessing it's so cables wouldn't catch) but I was wondering if that could impact cooling/noise? Wanted to get your thoughts as I might try and tidy things up so that I can have them on the inside

Well done, in all the videos that I see, the guys mount the tubes at the top... It's only you who mounts them correctly. Unfortunately, it must be added that Corsair does not provide a manual for assembling this case. While searching on the net I found a manual for the 2000D which apparently was originally built with the power supply at the bottom and an additional fan attached at the top...

The amount of wires for the RGB fans is off the chart!!!!

Just a heads up to anyone who's going to build in this case, it's much easier to have the red mounted to the bracket and the fans on the inside of the case blowing outwards. You lose out on the pretty RGB against the side panel, but it makes fitting the tubes inside the case so much easier

Actually installation begins at 30:00 minutes. You may skip directly there if you want to save time. Thanks!

@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you I sent email to Corsair n got the part 👍

Do you think it would be possible to get a second 360 aio to fit if you leave, say, the front panel off?. I have a dual 360 aio configuration I'm trying to down size. Trying to find an itx case that fits a water cooked 4090 is a challenge

I'm planning on buying one for my z790i Aorus Ultra (kinda similar in terms of dimensions). That being said, wouldn't it be easier to route the front I/O cables through the back of the mobo? There is clearly a space for that...

I hope this case is good. I got the black airflow one with the slim rgb fans. This will be my first itx build and so I am erring on the side of caution size-wise especially because I need to fit my 6800xt in it. I do not think this is the prettiest case though, especially with the bottom i/o and that exposed power cable in the back. I'm looking forward to putting the system together though and getting onto AM5.

Hi. I just finished a build with this case and was wondering whether the power button lights up? I noticed in your video that the power button does not light up like mine and I was wondering if this is the way it is. If it is supposed to light up, I'm wondering what i did wrong.

This case was a pain in the butt, and I went back to 4000d i was using previously.

@daunted2322

Several reasons, I got the sfx-l power supply that corsair recommends with it, and the cables are a little shorter, normally a good thing, but for the cpu cable especially a little short to get around an air cooler, which i used. I had the 3 fans at the front, an d15 air cooler, (could not fit the side fan bracket with it) the gpu was constantly 70c. I thought the front fans at 70% would have caused enough air to push in and through. (7900xtx gpu) I think it's aio or bust in this case. I also tried Noctua NH-L9x65, and 2 side 120mm fans with the bracket, it was too noisy, even on the floor not my desk. (7800x3d cpu) I feel this case would have been fine with something like a 4070ti and a side aio. I would probably go with the tower 200 from thermal take for higher end builds if going air cooled. @@TheProvokedPrawn

@@daunted2322 If building ITX you NEED to get the replacement pro cable type 5 kit as it makes the build look far better and the cables are far more easier to work with. The D15 doesnt officially fit this case...and IF you use large coolers you need the Low profile fans...This case is ideal BUT ONLY for people that have a lot of experience building PCs...im not talking a few...ive been hundreds and I found it a Joy for ITX...and ive used so many ITX over the past few years

I wish they made cases like this for ATX motherboards something small

I might've overheard it, but is the case revertable (feet/top mesh panel) ?? the shop in my country shows images of PSU at the feet side of the case, meaning the GPU and MOBO cables are coming out from the top

thanks a lot, just what i needed!

Glad it helped!

Can I plug in the fan controller to cpu fan header on mobo? Basically will the fan controller allow me to control rad fans separately from case fans or no

Whoa, awesome voice. I just couldn't stop watching, it was so soothing. Strong lorath from diablo 4 vibes 😄. Regarding the build. I'm super interested in building in this case, and your video is by far the best I found. I'd try for cooling to remove the fans from my gpu and install two 120mm blowing into the case onto the gpu. On cpu side suck the air out with 3x120mm. So air flows through the case in one direction. And have a cooling block on the CPU, but 90° rotated, so the fins are aligned with the air flow. Only have to hope, that it's not annoying that the tower then blows warm air out of the front (instead of the usual out of the back). The tight fit of the fans, the issues with cable routing and daisy chaining fans were nice to see in practice.

Thanks. Glad to help. I also covered some other bits in my behind the scenes video if you're interested. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqZ1o6puj87dhrA.html

icue : no wires for fans. But 4 wires for the controller...

I'm new to mini case, I don't get why the mother board is not flush with the back of the case, losing that much space doesn't make sense to me

Well if you were to put the side panels on the wrong way you can orient yourself thanks to the front panel as well, because the front panel has the bottom of the frame wider as the side panels have

Nice build, i recently built my own pc with the financial help of my mum and shes impressed on how well i did with all the cable management and how it looks with a 4000d. Shes thinking of getting a smaller PC for herself if her laptop finally gives in. This is a large help. Im still not sure about blowing 500 pounds on icue 😅 my pc fans and hub and cpu cooler totalled 250 quid max. Great build anyway.

@ozziemurray I'm currently running a ryzen 5 5600 and an rtx 4060. But I'd reccomend getting a 7000 series ryzen processor because the am5 socket has much more to come rather than the lga 1700 socket which has got no more cpus coming to the motherboard. Also get a motherboard with an argb header so you can actually add an accessory to your pc if you want to later down the line because I can't get Strimmer cables or an rgb gpu sag bracket I regret it fr. You can still control a bunch of rgb fans with a fan hub with just a USB header and power going to the fan hub. I'm using the corsair icue commander core xt with 6 corsair fans. Really simple to set up. Rgb cables one side and power the other.

Huh what happened to the top fan? I saw some other videos that had that.

What motherboard would be best for a 7800x3d build in this case? I will also be using a 4090 super liquid cooled and liquid cooling for cpu as well. Would also like to use ddr5 ram. Any opinons help cheers!

I know this is random, but what do you think looks better, cablemod modmesh cables or lian li strimer cable

@TheProvokedPrawn

🤷‍♂️ I like the strimmers and haven't really tried cablemod things properly, so it would be unfair to comment.

Why did you not share the fact that this pump and all latest ones have high pitch noise and so we who build based on your content would maybe avoid them… I have this case and all these fans and aio and man the pump is so horrible.. the noise even on quiet or silent mode is so darn harsh… this aio cost like an arm and a leg and I would truly recommend anyone who is reading this to reconsider!!! The fans are great and all the link system and iCUE and so on but this pump man… oh my good I regret this upgrade.. my arctic liquid 2 is far far far superior, actually that pump is basically and absolutely silent regardless of system load or settings.

Wish Corsair made a cable that coonect the power of the new controller directly to the PSU.

Putting the GPU in an upright position - based on other user experience, it will yield hotter temps due to how vapor chambers work. Why still do it that way? Form over function?

I'm a bit lost with their advertising. Some demonstrations show the 2000D airflow comes with the slim 120mm fans, others don't, and others say only the 2000D Airflow RGB variant comes with fans? Lol
