Hi, looking to upgrade from the corsair 570x case and looking to vertically mount GPU on Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW but the corsair gpu mount puts the GPU to close to the glass and effects the temps a lot just wondering if anyone used any 3rd party vertical mounts that give better distance from the side glass and temperature differences ? Front: 120 mm fan x 1 / 2 x 140 mm fan or 3 x 120 mm fan supported ¦ Top: fan mount / 2 x 140 mm fan or 3 x 120 mm fan supported ¦ Rear: 120 mm fan x 1 ¦ Side: 120 mm fan mount x 3 Our criticisms of the 5000D AirFlow are fairly minor points but we think we have the measure of the situation.
Maximum Cooling Potential: A spacious interior fits up to 10x 120mm or 4x 140mm cooling fans, along with multiple radiators including up to a 360mm in front or side and a 360mm push/pull in the roof. High-Airflow Front Panel: An optimized steel front panel delivers massive airflow to your system for maximum cooling. CORSAIR RapidRoute Cable Management System: Makes it simple and fast to route your major cables through a single hidden channel, with an easy-access hinged door and a roomy 25mm of space behind the motherboard for all of your cables. The top of the case is similar to the front panel, along with the front I/O: a big square power button with LED, two yellow USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a USB 3.1 Type-C port, and a Microphone/Audio combo 3.5mm port, and a smaller restart button. The top panel removes the same as the front, with a magnetic filter underneath featuring a matching triangular pattern. Pulling the yellow tab removes the magnetic filter for servicing needs. The top can also take two 140mm fans instead of three 120mm fans.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 Behind the front panel, we find a nice easily removable fine sheer mesh filter which should work great for catching dust. The top filter is slightly more coarse but still very fine, and is held down with a full strip of edge magnets. The side panels are held firm with thumb screws and a surprising amount of friction (no sudden *drops* of your sweet tinted glass panel after loosening the screws thankfully). The thumbscrews all seem to be nicely retained in place, for your “do-not-lose-this” pleasure. Corsair is launching a new line of cases hot off the heels of the 4000 series. The 5000 series of cases share many of the nice features found on the 4000, while providing more space for additional cooling capabilities.
The 5000 series is more of a size increase than a replacement of the 4000 lineup. For comparison, the 4000D AIRFLOW could house up to 6x120mm fans while the 5000D AIRFLOW can fit up to 10x120mm fans. The top three fans can even fit a push-pull configuration with a radiator to maximize the cooling possible. This also allows users to enjoy RGB fan lighting inside and out. Users can fit up to two triple radiators in either the front, top, or side of the case for extreme cooling needs. I just wanted general idea with 3 fan gpu's and really no difference in performance between pcie 3.0 and 4.0 for graphics cards you just change it to pcie 3.0 in the biosFront top mounted I/O shows off modern ports including USB 3.1 Type-C, USB 3.0 ports and a mic / audio combo. Corsair includes interchangeable panels for the bottom-front of the case, which you can use to hide components or provide clearance for cooling solutions. The stand-out point from our testing is that ramping up fan speed makes very little difference to temperatures, and we could even disable three of the nine fans without causing problems. Our initial impression was that the 5000D AirFlow would live up to its name and flow air, and our testing proved that beyond any doubt. Closing Thoughts Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available from us on request.
if there's glass too close to the GPU fans, you can blow all you want against the glass, it won't do much good (except cool a bit the fins from the outside) but the GPU fans are just depleted of airflow.
It would be cool to see a steel vented side panel version that would match the design of the bezel. It would look cleaner (better) and actually be functional. Reply Corsair has made a solid and excellent enclosure with the 5000D Airflow. It was easy to see their attention to detail and notice the high build quality. The ventilated panels are sturdy, heavy and internal panels are well secured, and fit evenly. In fact, the entire built case is rather heavy as a result.
Great Deal
