It is a similar story with that blanking plate over the side ventilation which involves a handful of screws and a few minutes work. You'll have to take it from us that what you saw in the video was not our first effort at working with the 5000D but more like the third or fourth and the user guide – we forgot to include this in the video – is absolutely tiny. The guide isn't bad but it seems ironic that a large case comes with a tiny multi-lingual book.
The CORSAIR 5000D CORE AIRFLOW is a mid-tower ATX case that shows off your PC, and not its cables. Hidden cable management and an airflow-optimized front panel make building a clean, cool PC easy. Next I decided to install the vertical GPU mount, which requires two standoffs that come with the case — not the cable itself! You install the standoffs into the case and then mount the extension cable with two screws, while flexing the cable in an S-shape into the PCIe slot. Then you just install the graphics card and you're done. In my opinion the vertical mount looks very nice, filling the space better than the horizontal orientation. This gives a nice glimpse of the otherwise unseen face of your often very expensive graphics card too. Vertical installations really do look sharp! Motherboard Tray with Customizable Fan Mounts: Side-mount up to 3x 120mm fans or up to a 360mm radiator, enabling new flexible cooling options. The whole tempered glass side panel + glass front bezel or glass side panel + open air bezel is becoming a pretty tired look. It was novel in 2016 and looks better than acrylic but its not really good ID. Aside from cases like Lian Li 011 where the material is part of the design language with cases like this the tempered glass isn’t part of the design its just a window to show off how cool your shit is.KitGuru says: 5000D AirFlow feels like Corsair's difficult second album after the success of 4000D. Fully control and synchronize the RGB lighting for up to six fans with the included iCUE LIGHTING NODE CORE and CORSAIR iCUE software. Most are done for cases with a completely opened PCIE area (no steel ribs between slots). The 5000D isn't. So if you want to use one of those you'll have to take the dremel out.

Two Included 120mm Fans: CORSAIR AirGuide fans utilize anti-vortex vanes to concentrate airflow and enhance cooling. Steel, plastic and tinted glass come together very cleanly & precisely to display top notch fit and finish – in that signature Corsair design language way. It is trivial to see the similarities with the previous mid-tower 4000 series. 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.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. 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
