A truly great and informative presentation. This will be my next case. I'm currently looking at a semi future-proof dollars don't matter type build atm. The tech items currently available are all I need. Computex 2022 will bring new stuff but that is good, as the top end items I'm currently looking at may get "slightly" cheaper. My current PC build has lasted me just a tad over 10 years and still going strong, albeit some elements are out of date and need motherboard upward upgrades. Thanks for taking the time and posting, I quite enjoyed it.

this is the next case im using for a build all white!! thanks for the review

Just a quick thank you for this clear video. Made the decision to go for this case a lot easier!

I just bought the black and it looks slick. So much room for anything you want to do. Very happy with it

Awesome review bro, keep it up

something to take note is...the icue commander and the included 140mm add in the price of the manufacturing....honestly...it's a decent price

I would have to agree,doesn’t seem like a bad price for what you get,I got the black one.

Cool video man! Started my 12th gen build. Close to done just need CPU and some of that DDR5 treasure. I have 3TB of m.2 installed and pulled all the HDD slots out for space.

Sounds like a wicked build. Which CPU you after? Personally the 12700K seems to be the best price to performance.

Would you recommend this case for air cooling only? Nice review!

Black is beautiful!!!

Just watched the video. I like the case it does have some drawbacks, 1 being so large you might need extension cables for fans or power. 2. the 4 USB on top, not all motherboards have onboard ports for them so you would need an adapter card. It's also heavy, weighs roughly 65lbs with my current system. I bought the white 7000X and then bought the airflow panels. Mounting the cooler I found it easier to mount it to the fan/radiator bracket with the motherboard already installed in the case and lower the cooler in through the top, also having the top fans as exhaust not intake keeps the case cooler. It is a super easy case to build in, I originally built a Ryzen 5800x, White Corsair H150i Elite Capellix XT, Asus PRIME X570-PRO, 32GB Corsair Vengeance and EVGA 3080TI with 2x 2TB Samsumg 980 Pros, 1TB 860 EVO and a 2TB 870 QVO SSD with a white Corsair RM850M PSU. Upgraded that in December to a Ryzen 9 7950x, Asus ROG Strix X670E-A Gaming WiFi, White 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000, added a 250GB 970 EVO (OS Drive), and 1TB 980 Pro, no internal mechanical drive, but do have a 4TB external mechanical backup drive. It idles around 50c and under load is low 70's, Cinebench R23 it obviously will peg 95c.

oh yeah,it is a great case

Thanks, I did a build in Feb for my son with the 5000x rgb. Now, it's my turn. This will be the case for me! Great video, just one thing. That was an extremely lazy way of putting thermal paste on! Thermal Grizzly includes a spatula tool for spreading the paste evenly over the entire surface of the cpu for a reason. Most won't do that, but I do because I believe details are important.

There have been many reviews on how to apply paste and which methods work fine. It doesn't have to be spatula spread. I did mine with a few dots, fitted and then removed the fan and it had spread just fine. Very little waste.

Can you tell what the 9 pin male connectors are that comes attached with the USB 2.0 cable?

Sorry to ask I’m just a little confused with the fans, if I have an 420 radiator at the top can I still fit 3 140s on the side or does it have to be 120s on the side?

Will Asus rog strix lc II 360 120mm AIO FIT in top ? Liquid Cooler ? or is Corsair icue h170i Elite 420mm 140mm x3 Fans fit better and work better with this case that already has x4 140mm Fans ? Which Liquid Cooler FIT More Better?

Do you think that top mounted radiator could be rotated 180 degrees, so that the tubes are at the rear of the case?

Absolutely!

I still use platter harddrives. How else are you going to get 20 terabytes per SATA srive. I built in a 5000D white, but now wish I had blown the extra money and gone with the 7000X instead. I did consider it and the 5000X seriously. My deciding factor was I was going to run with the glass panels off anyway, and the 7000X might hang off the edge of my desk seriously. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have cared. The 5000D is a fantastic case, if you remove some stuff, but it definitely could use some more room above and below the motherboard, and a lot more room in the basement. SO yeah, despite what the reviewers say, the 7000X is a very attractive alternative to the 5000... One thing I learned is you do not want to control your fan speeds with the Corsair Commander Pro/Core/Core XL boxes, but instead via PWM 1to3 cable splitters run directly off the motherboard PWM headers. Why? Because you want your fans controlled in the UEFI BIOS fan speed page which works all the time... while the iCUE software only can work when Windows is loaded, and iCUE is running. Which is not all the time.. i.e. when you are in Linux or some other OS. In those cases, the Corsair fans run at full speed which is annoying as heck. I don't like on any of them that the PSU is mounted upside down pulling air out the bottom. I want my PSU pulling out from inside the case. All they would of had to do was include some alternative mounting holes. If you buy a PSU for any of these, you'll be better off buying the COrsair SHIFT series of PSUs with Type 5 cables so the cables come out in a more convenient location. I bought an HX1200 beast which was over kill and it's jammed in the 5000D pretty tight.

Hi, nice video, I wanted to ask for information, if I buy the 7000x rgb and an AIO H100i ELITE CAPPELLIX, can I connect all the fans including those of the AIO to the Commander core xt that I find inside or do I need something else? Thanks for those who answer

I have the same question, Did you find something?

Spend the extra $200 and get the 7000. You only get a few extra inchs upward and long ways (not deep), so it's an extravagant mark up for just a few inches in either way. Bu tit probably makes a world of different, because the 5000 is a PITA to build in for lack of space. Cable sprawl. I did it. WIsh I had gotten a 7000. And forget about a side mounted radiator for your GPU in a 5000. You'll be putting a radiator a the top, and *maybe* at the front. I'd buy a 7000 and move everything over, but ohmigod the work involved. So that's not going to happen. Once it's all in there it's in there, and you don't need to do anything further much except attch harddrives. Get rid of the internal door, and get rid of the side mount radiator tray the one with the 3 circular cutouts. It comes off with like 4 or so screws down the right side. It will only get in the way. Also get rid of the included Corsair PWM hub. 4 screws hold it on. I never got it to work. Corsair RGB is a PITA to wire up, if you go more than 6 lighted fans. So three down t e front, and three acros the top, and one unlighted fan in the back. You won't want to show off yoru cable management in the back no matter how god it is. Turst me. A metal backplate back there is fine. You'll probably have it off a lot of the time. You'll always have the top and front off unless you are trying to show off to someone else or yourself. Otherwise they just obstruct airflow. On the other hand, your fans will be runing at slow idle speed most of the time anyway so... doesn't matter? You don't want to run your fans off the COrsair boses, but instead off of splitters off the PWM connectors on your motherboard so your UEFI BIOS cfan curves an control the fans peeds all the time, even when crashed or booting up or in linux. I learned that the hardway. Just run 6 rgb fans and your radiator water block off the Commander Core inclueded withan H150i and run your fan PWM power connectors off of 1 to 3 way PWM splitters you buy off of ebay and plug into your motherboard. Otherwise your computer is going to sound like a jet engine all the time when iCUe is not running. I have yet to even install it.

Ok thank you! 😃

mechanical drives = 20TB, ssd drives = 4TB - if you need a lot of space, mechanical drives are still needed. OK, not for all, and not a lot drives.

Who still uses HDD drives? Those who that know when an SSD crashes you are not recovering that data. With an HDD I can still recover the data easily. I've been building custom PCs long enough to have drives crash on me, have you? Definitely prefer the black version over the white.

Solid..

That front USB IO connector is the worst connector of them all to connect. Be user super careful connecting it. I bet my motherboard pins the second time around connecting it. The first tiem around it was an exercise in frustration to get it to seat. Of all the cmotherboard connectors, the front USB32 one is the worst. It doesn't look like it it eather, it looks like a simple connector to plug in. two rows of pins to an edge connector on your motherboard. You bend any ins though, and you're SOL and it's a dog getting it in. There is a notch on the front side of your motherboard, and a ridge on one side of the connector, so match those up frist. Get very familiar witht he power button and reset CMOS button on your motherbaord. You'll be using them a lot in the begining. SOme people connect the reset switch on the outside of the case to the reset CMOS jumper instead of the reset pins on the Front Panel Connector.

bad review. poor review.
