Fully control and synchronize the RGB lighting for up to six fans with the included iCUE LIGHTING NODE CORE and CORSAIR iCUE software. As you dig further into the 5000D AirFlow and prepare to build your PC you will be faced with the choice of leaving the side ventilation closed or opening it to use for liquid or air cooling. As you will have seen, we went for a 360mm radiator in the front of the case with 3x 120mm fans in the side. The hardware went in easily enough however we had a mass of cables to deal with and also had to add a couple of Corsair Commander Pro units to handle the PWM and RGB wide of things. In fairness to the 5000D AirFlow there is a good deal of space to house the components but we strongly recommend you plan ahead to avoid problems. Testing

Airflow is right there in the name, so we should be able to count on that. Our specific 5000D unit has three perforated sides – top, front, and motherboard-tray-side. They are already looking very promising for excellent airflow, read on for more. It is a similar story with that blanking plate over the side ventilation which involves a handful of screws and a few minutes work. You'll have to take it from us that what you saw in the video was not our first effort at working with the 5000D but more like the third or fourth and the user guide – we forgot to include this in the video – is absolutely tiny. The guide isn't bad but it seems ironic that a large case comes with a tiny multi-lingual book. As previously mentioned, there is a perfectly serviceable PWM fan hub is also included. The RGB version of the cases as a lighting controller at the same time. Motherboard Tray with Customizable Fan Mounts: Side-mount up to 3x 120mm fans or up to a 360mm radiator, enabling new flexible cooling options.​ Thanks probably will give it a miss I know the temps will increase vertically just wanted to know by how much using 3rd party mount and with and without side fans as intakeit's hard to say how much hotter it will be. depends on your ambient temp and what card you have. 3080/3090 will probably be fine GPU wise, they don't run that hot surprisingly enough, bu the GDDR6X needs every bit of cooling it can have. Would probably crash quite a lot.. Reference Radeons are already cooking with the default cooler.. AIBs may suffer but be on the edge of throttling.. any way you spin it it's pretty bad really. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/Premium-PCIe-3-0-x16-Extension-Cable-300mm/p/CC-8900419 Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW: Conclusion Cable management holes, supports 120 mm radiator in rear, supports 280/360 mm radiator in front panel, supports 280/360 mm radiator in top panel, supports 360 mm radiator in right side, vertical graphic card orientation, tempered glass left panel Front top mounted I/O shows off modern ports including USB 3.1 Type-C, USB 3.0 ports and a mic / audio combo.
