This review of the Corsair 7000D Airflow & Corsair 7000X looks at thermals, noise, and build quality. These cases are built for larger computers, so water cooling is highly compatible with the chassis, as are large motherboards ("E-ATX," although there are issues with EATX in this case). The Corsair 7000D Airflow follows-up the Corsair 5000D & 4000D, so we compare the three cases in this review. We'll also look at the 7000D vs. the Fractal Meshify 2 XL, Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2, and Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. Large tower cases are a smaller market and highly competitive, so the 7000D has a hard fight ahead of it.

    I kind of like the trend of having different sized cases with the same design like this and the fractal design cases. I think it's a great way to stop wasting time on usually pointless innovation and just focus on what works and iterate on it. It would be great if we actually get something close to perfect in the coming years that fixes all the recurring issues caused by cutting corners and shortsighted construction.

    I really like the 7000D. The build process was fairly painless due to the good design and sheer amount of space in there. 140cm fans provide lots of airflow, easily keeping a 9900k (5ghz all cores) and 3080ti temperatures under control and the system is not particularly loud. My only niggle is that I wish they would provide a fine dust filter for the side radiator panel. You only get a fine filter for the front panel. The coarse vent will allow too much dust into the case/radiator if you use it.

I will most likely waterblock AIO my GPU and get an AIO for the CPU, each with 2 or 3 120mm fans/radiator. I wouldn't mind maxing out all fans spaces if it makes a diff.

Something that is not often mentioned, Corsair's support is exceptional. The tech I got on the phone was unfamiliar with the specific parts of the case, and we looked together to find the correct replacement. I feel like they are trained to actually listen to the person on the line instead of just walking through a script. Kudos to corsair for their renewal of cases.

No odd screw access angles or metal plates/cage origami to figure out. And can fit tons of hard disks. Definitely lighter weight construction to the Fractal, but cleaner in execution and fewer poor ergonomic choices, and far better, specific documentation for such things as the fan control header distribution.

I paid 35 bucks or something after the fact to buy the top airflow panel to improve flow coming off the radiator fans -- best of both function+aesthetic worlds, albeit at a hefty price. I know the current trend skews towards smaller form factor, less garish RGB... but I don't care. I love this case. :-D

    Something that'd be nice to see for these case reviews is some sort of "standardized" way of testing the case if all the fan slots are occupied. Obviously for low/mid ranged cases the stock config is more relevant , but especially for these large cases its pretty safe to assume people will be shelling out for extra fans as well anyway. Whether that be for RGB fans or just plain ones. If you can budget for such a large case, I think its safe to assume you can budget for fans lol. Particularly for a case like this with side intake, that would certainly help the thermals of even the solid panel versions that otherwise look disappointing performance wise. I say this as a 5000X user where with all the fan slots populated with corsair QL fans (not exactly great airflow fans) and I see only about 1C difference for both GPU & CPU swapping between glass and airflow front panels or even removing it entirely. At that point, the trade off is way more acceptable than the review would imply.

    I love full tower cases just because they are so much easier to work with. I think its funny when you reference the weight and thickness of this case. My first build, the case was a PC Power & Cooling solid steel, 10 x 5.25" bay monster that literally weighed 75lbs - empty case! I used 4 bays to add two 80mm fan adapters, one 3.5" adapter for the floppy, and two Plextor drives. It served me well for over 10 years. I am currently still using my Corsair 800D and I have to say, I still don't see much of a reason to upgrade at this time. Still love these reviews though!

    But it should have been an opportunity for the manufacturer of a big case to enable the customer to use it not only for show but for something productive too. Let´s be honest Big Towers are rare these days. And when they come out the usually lack in useful spots for things the typical big tower buyer needs. HDD cases (or lack of) or a second Mini MB hardpoint or a second PSU slot. Enthoo Pro 2 comes to mind which others just that, but with a disappointing build quality. Still using a HAF X because it has great airflow and metric tons of HDD cages (which dont wobble a bit).

    Building in a drive bay which does not hinder the front fan support is probably not that easy. And fan as well as radiator support is the most important criteria for cases meant to be used for excessive watercooling. Nowadays it is probably more likely to sell such a large case to someone who wants to build a large watercooling loop than to someone who actually needs a drive bay.
