Corsair 5000D Airflow, weiß, Glasfenster

The Corsair 5000D has two variants: The 5000D Airflow and 5000D solid panel, and we're benchmarking and reviewing both in this one content piece. This also talks about the differences between the Corsair 4000D and 5000D because, although the names make them look sequential, they're actually intended to both simultaneously exist and target different audiences. The latest of 4000D & 5000D PC cases from Corsair is a reprisal of the old Obsidian line, and Corsair appears to be back on track to improve its overall product quality in the case market. It's been a while since they've had good ones back-to-back, so that's good to see. Recent competitors would include the be quiet! Silent Base 802, the Fractal Meshify 2 & XL, Lian Li Lancool II Mesh, Phanteks P500, and similar.

Corsair has done an excellent job, designing a beautiful chassis in the 5000D Airflow. The solid metal panels in the front and top are sturdy enough to essentially "hang" in place freely without any support, with their uniquely shaped air vents, and there are dust filters on all intake areas, which are easily accessed as well. Even taking a closer look, the Corsair 5000D Airflow retains the same small but valuable design choices Corsair had initially introduced with the 4000 series.

Today Leo takes a look at the new 5000D Airflow chassis from Corsair priced at £139.99 inc vat. We could go through all the stats here, but the main question we answer today, is Leo impressed with it?

The Corsair 5000D Airflow is another solid entry into the mid-tier chassis category. It has good thermals, well-tuned fans, it's easy to work with, and supports a wide range of hardware. It does build on the new series of cases brought out by Corsair that started with the 4000 models a few months ago. You can quickly and easily get a full system up and running that's not only cool and quiet but also tidy and easy on the eye. All the cables are either hidden by design or using a minor bit of creativity, can be hidden behind other components such as the SATA cable in our build.
