Product Information

After everything is closed up and screwed down, the view from the front is astonishingly sleek and clean. They would look good on the backside as they are, but the case also comes with an easily removable steel door that covers up the entire back side of the motherboard tray.

This review acknowledges that this case is meant to be used with an AIO on top and all fan slots populated but doesn't show thermals for that configuration.However, most people will likely not have their cooler pre-installed and will be working with a new motherboard.

The rear of the system is covered up by a metal door, which will work well to hide the cable clutter to keep things looking clean and tidy through the glass side panel. At the back of the motherboard tray there is a fan controller that splits a PWM signal into six headers, and an RGB header.

In the multi-core CPU benchmark with Cinebench, HWinfo64 picks up a max of only 73C, which is quite impressive considering how much room there is for additional cooling to improve that number. Corsair’s 5000X RGB is a beast of an enclosure, offering a solid foundation for big, majestic RGB builds – but you have to throw in a lot of extra fans for it to make sense over the less-costly Obsidian 4000X. Some accessory choices outright provide unnecessary barriers to the build process, and it would have been quite the ordeal if there were more complicated cooling setups to install.
