The part that causes the most trouble is the cable shroud that sits on the front right side of the motherboard covering the rubber grommets; presumably to minimize how much cable is shown. Not only that, but the screws and screw holes for it seemed somewhat worn after just one build in this case, which is worrying when you consider future builds outside of the first one. It doesn’t help that these covers feel a bit flimsy and bendable, so keep it in mind to have a gentle hand when removing and reattaching them. While idling, HWinfo64 measured an exceedingly breezy average of 28C over 8 hours. In Minecraft, the temperature only jumps up to around 40C. It’s not hard to imagine that the mesh coverings and large openings on the front and top greatly aid in these results. It’s safe to say that the case does its job quite well right out of the box, with a relatively cheap air cooler to boot, and the cooling can only get better from there with plenty of room to add fans or radiators. Despite adding a bunch of noise (46.8 dB total system noise) the side intake did help reduce the CPU temperature by 2 degrees Celsius and the GPU temperature by about 4 degrees C.It’s now time to get to one of the most impressive aspects of this case. That thing I went on about in the first paragraph. The Corsair iCue 5000x hits its stride where many tempered glass cases fall short, because it manages to blend sleek looks with function. Corsair uses angles to channel the air around the glass front panel and to the fans, with the same design providing heat removal via the roof vent. Usually, intakes are far too restricted to provide the necessary volumes of air needed to cool components properly. I thought that would be the case for the front and top panels, but I actually didn’t see any temperature differences when testing my system under full load with the panels off. Corsair clearly spent a lot of time testing the spacing here to get almost identical results to the Airflow D version of this case.

Is it really too difficult to design the bottom of the case so the bottom filter slides out from the front of the case? Fractal Design have been doing it that way for years.Inside the main compartment of the case is the motherboard mounting tray and a raised lip, which isn't for cables as you might think (more on this later). There are cutouts all along the motherboard tray to let cables pass through where needed, which helps make for a tidy finished build.

Benefit from smart ideas, lower costs, greater productivity. Choose from award-winning printers, software solutions and consumables I've added a Corsair H100i CPU cooler - where does this sit? at the top? Does this take up the top 3 fan spaces? For the old case, we found that the CPU idled at 32 C while the GPU was at 27 C. Under load, we observed the CPU move between 52-72 degrees on average with a maximum temperature of 81 C. The GPU performed between 47-55 C. All of the same components were then transferred over to the Corsair case in the same positioning. The CPU still idled at 32 C, but the GPU was down to 23 C. Under load, we observed the CPU move between 52-66 degrees on average with a maximum temperature of 75 C. The GPU performed much better as well, shifting to a stable 40-41 C.Adding fans can almost double the price of this case if you fill all slots with matching RGB fans to get good cooling results.
