Product Information

For the CPU and GPU full load acoustic test, we also stress the Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti Gaming OC and set the fans at 75% speed, because in gaming the fans never run at 100 percent and are far too loud when they do. There is much more room in the front for whatever you want to add, or if you want to swap to the optional cooling location, we find you can use a 360 on the motherboard plane and still use a 240mm AIO up top. We test noise at a 45-degree angle from the front panel, and the iCUE 5000T RGB’s duct and side vent for a nearly straight line between our GPU and meter. Many cases have RGB lighting, in the form of fans or some accent lighting, but this is the first chassis to hit our bench that has taken it this far out of the box. Under the chassis, we find it supported on wide steel feet that are screwed to the bottom of the chassis.

As we pan down to the left side of the chassis, we see that the bottom frame portion of the chassis matches the top and front of the case with styling, while it's supported on feet, we would expect from the likes of a Cosmos case. All of the front panel and fan cables come pre-routed into a removable tray and are held in place with long velcro strips. The motherboard fit with ease and was mostly easy to wire cleanly, and the GPU hangs level and secure, as it should. This is our first foray into the world of iCUE capable cases, and on paper, Corsair took an already well-accepted chassis line and took RGB LEDs to an entirely new level.For some perspective, that’s just an inch shorter than its full-tower sibling, the 7000D Airflow (23. It can be expanded to monitor temperatures (two temp monitor sensors included) and even tie-into other iCUE devices like the LS100 Lighting Strips or RGB LED Lighting PRO Expansion kits. Seamlessly synchronize your lighting and maintain optimal system temperatures, all from a single device. Once you add a layer at the left, you can pick from one of the nineteen preset options or select custom or Lighting Link.

Also here: seven slots aligned to motherboard positions, and two vertical slots that allow customizers to mount their graphics card with the fans showing, in vertical orientation, by adding a PCI Express riser cable (not included). You’ll need to look toward a full-tower for 480mm radiator support, but that’s not unusual for a mid-tower case. We mentioned a second option for the front of the PSU shroud, and the part on the right is what was sent.I’m busier than ever these days and devoting a whole day to a PC build isn’t as simple as it used to be.
