Dang, Corsair must be getting pricing advise from the GPU market 😂 I also get the eco side of things, but there's nothing much nicer than flipping through a nice paper user guide.
Most paper farms are carbon negative, which isn't surprising since they _literally grow trees._ Saying that it's an eco-friendly move is pure BS.
Better come with a platinum power supply on the back of an autonomous robot for that price.
Yeah even for their fans 😅
I got one from Facebook Market for $125, it was like new, not a single scratch, and it came with the fan controller and the 3 fans, I was impressed, it looks like it can be in fashion for at least 8 years, I used to have Thermaltake Core P5 for over 7 years and I never thought I'd replaced it until now!
Looks lovely and a nice addition to the 5000 range. I own the 5000X which is a lovely case for £140. This at £350 for a few extra LEDS? You must be joking! PS Glad i've found a UK based Tech channel dropped you a sub sir!
It includes a Commander core fan and rgb hub which is £50 and 3 x LL120 fans which are £72. Not to mention a single LED strip is £15 so let’s say there’s 2 worth of those in it which bring those additions to £162 of extras over the 5000D. The 5000T is £200 more than the 5000D. Those additions I mentioned are pre-installed and plugged in so that extra £38 covers that and the cooler case design. The 5000T also has more front IO ports than the 5000D.
looks like a blinged up combination of the 5000D airflow and the Be Quiet! Silent Base 802
Thumbs up for great videos.
I think the cooler master case better then this one that you posted today yes more money, but you get way more hard drive space and better 140 fan support.
With the cooler master case you also get the vertical card bracket with it this doesn't.
I've been saying it for months.
Because of the madness in the GPU market people are simply not building and therefore not buying other components for a build. I said this on other reviews that it will start to effect other companies profits with falling sales and therefore crazy pricing on other products.
You only have to look at the mad prices of new motherboards now.
The greed in the GPU market is driving up prices on other components with the drop of sales and people not buying and building.
And again, expensive case and pins on side panel and whole case plastic-fantastic. GOSH, what times we live in! Big thanks for reviewer for AIR cooling this time.
I just bought this case through an app where people sell their stuff, I got it brand new, for $100 dollars and a used Nintendo switch that didn't read physical games.
I can't wait to modify it, paint some red accents to it and paint the grey parts black
All it needs is a blower type GPU and you will have your very own 747 in your living room!
5:30 about radiator compatibility it says 360 mm for the motherboard tray.
Is it possible for me to mount the Asus Rog Strix 3090 ti LC 240mm radiator there ?
I can currently get this case new for $205, only in white at a microcenter near me (usually $399), is it a better case than the Lancool 3 or Meshify 2 at this price point?
I love it! Can you share a link where you got the 1000w white power supply? I can only find the corsair 850w in white
Not sure whether the 1000W was ever sold or was a special job for we Media types. The unit Corsair sent us was a numbered item from a batch of 100 so the short answer is most likely 'No'. Leo
Why would you ignore putting fans in the side?
When next 350D m-ATX will launch?
Great review as usual. Having recently criticised you for your emphasis on AIO coolers I do appreciate you using an air cooler. You pointed out the fan cables as an issue; for a premium case like this I'm wondering why it doesn't come with all-white cables? Everything else is white.
Tbh if you look at the price points the fans themself are already 120$ and the commander pro ia like 80$ and that makes the case 200 whipe being more premium and with rgb so i would say its kinda worth if you want the case
I wonder if there is a non rgb version for cheaper
14:37 So the white case comes with more powerful fans? Noted.
Thanks 🙂 Leo for the great review as always👌
I'm getting the impression Corsair has lost touch with reality, to demand more then twice the price of a Lian Li O11 Evo😲
for such an innovation-free case😲is more than cheeky🤬exactly the same with their fans which are totally overpriced...👎
For the refresh of my current gaming build I will stay with Lian Li and upgrade my LANCOOL II Mesh to an O11 EVO in white😉
I absolutely agree with you man, £350 what a fucking joke, I have the 011 XL ROG that cost me £200, I added 13!! Deepcool fans that in total was still less than this case alone and I DID fit 3 x 360mm radiators in that case....
Taaaa duuuuuuh! :D hahaha gets me every time...
honestly its not that bad if you factor in the rgb strip costs from corsair and then the fan price for rgb+ commander pro its not really that out of the reason
The thing got commander icue .. 60£
And 4 fans...50...
But even with this and the new led top...
Its 169 + 50 + 60 + led... its 300$ .. msrp...
So 350 well they should get out those features and sell a basic empty version for 190$ and it would be too much
if you broke it down, £169 case, £96 for the three fans, £55 for the commander pro, £25 per set of two led LED strips, there is three LED's each side, the case so that's £75. £395 ?
good review sir no way i would pay $400 US on that, i have owned corsair all my life that might change.
£150 = great case
£350 = not on your Nelly!
Problem with this one is the fans aren't the Corsair premium QL ones. The LLs are good (actually better in some respects), but to include just three of them on a £350 case with no exhaust is just silly.
The 5000X QL edition is actually not 'terrible' value at £280 as it has 4x QL fans which are near £100 alone, so for aesthetic and for someone who JUST wants the QL fans for RGB purposes then there's justification for it. But the 5000T is hard to argue a case for.
my 220t will do...
I love my 5000D case and I just added llfans
Yea. $399 can be consider less expensive than Cooler Master HAF700 $499. Corsair 5000T seem more airflow & RGB than HAF700, maybe 2 gigantic non-rgb fans & a lot of acrylic bar at the front make it so premium. 🤣
on the flipside, the HAF700 supports twice the cooling, much larger parts, and comes with a large array of accessories. also 2x200mm is better for intake airflow than 3x120mm, especially considering that its LL120's, fans known for the poor performance it offers vs its price.
also those "Acrylic bars" are actually TG.
Can I use an amd cpu on this case?
Well, that depends on the motherboard you have and cabinets don't really restrict a build to a specific CPU model, most of the time.
@@NavrajThapa2002 i contacted corsair to make sure my setup can be swapped in but i have a b450 aorus pro wifi with a ryzen 5600x cpu
I guess if you have sli 3090s this case makes sense.
The question is, if you spent the money on SLI 3090s can you afford the 5000T? (or perhaps you need sufficient funds for SLI 3090 to afford the 5000T)
Leo
PSU cutout...? Best buy anything 5000d at least no shroud hole in the other 4/5000's!
I'd pay 350 pounds for a Fractal Torrent (which is actually much cheaper than that!), but I wouldn't pay that much for this. This doesn't seem as nice as the Torrent, but it's way, way more expensive.
Wow those fans are loud as stock 🤣
why do you say 5000 mega tranfers ? not mhz
Memory is DDR i.e. Double Data Rate so 5200MT 'effectively' operates at 5200MHz but actually operates at 2600MHz. You can see this in CPU-Z as the reported RAM speed will likely be half the speed reported in the BIOS
For £350 it needs at least half the RGB. Final Offer.
I didn't know the price. I thought like 180 to 200. But 399! They must be really full of themselves to price it like that.. a case costing as much as a xbox s, a 3060 @ msrp, a 5800x/12700, my 1440p monitor, 2 2tb 970 evo ssd, a seasonic prime 850 psu AND kit of 3600 ram. The list goes on! Nutty people thinking thier name is worth its weight in gold?
This is like a chef adding caviar, gold dust and truffles to make food expensive. In this case RGB strips, RGB fans and RGB everything will justify the cost without a sense of design cohesion and the quality of the materials used.
There must be a case shortage :p
Does that mean if I buy it on Mars, it’ll be $20?
Corsair knows the 5000D does the same thing with less rgb and MUCH less price right?…yeaaa would not recommend if y’all want performance BUT rgb sells I guess. Mid case :/
That pretty much sums up 21 minutes of video
Leo
@@KitGuruTech great vid tho Leo! Always enjoy hearing your impressions of new pc products. Ordered my O11 Evo bc of you, my man! Would love to see a best fans config/GPU placement vid from you for that case
At what point are companies pricing TOO many people out of being able to buy components? . . . this is getting ridiculous, and before anyone states just buy a budget case . . . well yah that's an option but companies charging exorbitant prices for features that should exist in mid-tier cases should not be a thing . . . Also, why is this thing looking so much like another case from another company? Can't quite put my finger on it . . . maybe a cooler master one?
Exactly. Budget should not equate to flimsy or completely lackluster.
It don't even have the QL fans wtf
At a time when so many companies are competing to make cases, why do they end up making basically the same case? Even the touted 011D is a compromise, why? Build cases for air OR water cooling, stop the pathetic attempt at making a single case for everyone.
That case is needlessly large for air cooling, The three fans to the right of the motherboard are not only useless but actually hurt cooling because the air is pulled in at the front and then immediately shoved back out by those fans. Now someone is going to say 'orient the side fans to pull air in instead', yes because you buy that 400 dollar rgb case to install the fans with the ugly side exposed?! Seriously, it has not occurred to Corsair to produce fans that flow air backwards?!
So the side area isn't for fans, what is it for? A pump reservoir? Where's the bracket for mounting my Quantum Kinetic pump/res combo and how do I fill in the void if I don't mount fans there? That would be useful and obvious! So one of those flat reservoirs then? Alright, but only 2 360's? So water cooling is not ideal either. Let's reconsider air cooling, what's the best way to the cool the most important part of a computer that is air cooled? The GPU., What's the best way to cool a GPU? Blow cold air directly on the GPU! Does this case do that? Nope, power supply is in the way. Sadly, the 'water cooling case' does offer bottom fans to cool air cooled GPUs in the 011D, the case you couldn't mount a rad in the bottom of for water cooling.
If the case is going to be expensive anyway, put a custom 1K watt platinum power supply on the back side with a proprietary design allowing it to be mounted vertically and flat that is fan-less. The circuit board would run the top to bottom to form a distribution panel like on super high end systems.
That same case with a 360 rad mount in the bottom instead of the PS shroud with the stupid cut out to show the label would be way better, even if you just installed a couple of fans to blow cold air on the GPU. Seriously? A cut out to show the PS brand?!
It's another compromised design but thank god it has those 2.5 and 3.5 drive mounts!! Because you gotta have somewhere to put terabytes of porn, right?
Beautiful case But at that price absolute madness no bloody way 150 more get a ps5 lmfao 🤣
No thanks. Happy with my 5000x
no Corsair, im good with my recently bought corsair 4000D airflow..
Looks nice but to rich for my blood.
Corsair 5000Too much
Looks alot like the silent base 802.
Case manufacturers these days just copying each other.
that pricing dude.. for that sh..box 350 horseees?! nope... as disapointing as the 1000d for 500 bucks, where i cut my fingers as i put them first time in, an the whole main tray was rusted O.o
corsair is just humongos blingbling crap, they cant make good cases for my op....
Say what you want but Corsair overprices their fans and cases ad absurdum.
for this money and not supp 420 mm aio is discrase disgrace ,and 120mm at rear ,buying this case so big with this spec is nonsense😀
Why the cut out in the fucking power supply shroud??!!!!
In order that you can see the branding on the PSU!
@@KitGuruTech It's the stupidest thing ever! I absolutely hate that in cases and would never buy one with it. Thanks for the reply 😅
@@adi6293 Also ASUS Thor's have RGB power supplys that even show wattage. Just more bling.
pass
So much plastic. Corsair has really started to cheap out.
Corsair and CM have gone full mad. Such ugly rgb cases for crap ton of money.
Plus they didn't even feel a little bit ashamed while straight up copying bequiet exterior looks.
Another case with a laughable price.
