The case has space for up to four more 120mm fans (in total three in the front, two in the roof, and one rear), and 140mm fans are supported in the front and roof positions too but not the rear. the ‘anti-vortex vanes’ on the exhaust side designed to concentrate airflow. These are a new hydraulic bearing design with a maximum speed of ~1,300 RPM, and they feature what Corsair calls AirGuide technology i.e. It’s great that the ventilated front panel is made from steel, and while the grey section surrounding it is plastic, it’s extremely solid and very firmly attached (there’s no real reason to remove it, after all), so it doesn’t feel loose or flimsy.īoth the 4000D and 4000D Airflow come with two 120mm fans, one mounted as a front intake and the second as a rear exhaust. The build quality is good for an £80 mid-tower too – nothing amazing but solid where it needs to be, neatly aligned, and painted well. Our white 4000D Airflow sample has a rather tasteful and understated design in our humble opinion, and the addition of grey and a few bright yellow highlights strikes us as almost sporty. The tempered glass panel, however, will not be available separately, so your only way to get that is with the pricier RGB chassis. It also means you could buy the front panel in the opposite colour for a contrast aesthetic. The solid steel and ventilated front panels are going to be available to purchase separately soon, so switching between the 4000D and 4000D Airflow is as easy as that. While this written review primarily focuses on the 4000D Airflow, we have performance numbers for each of them, and most of what we say here applies to all three cases anyway, as there are no differences between them besides what’s already been covered.Įach case is available in black and white with no price difference between the colour options. We’ve been sent a sample of each of the cases. Lastly, the same core chassis is also being made available as the iCUE 4000X RGB for £110 / $120, this time with a tempered glass front panel, three SP RGB Elite fans, and an iCUE-compatible, six-port RGB controller. The 4000D and 4000D Airflow are entering the market at £80 / $80 and differ only in the style of front panel: On the 4000D it’s solid steel whereas the 4000D Airflow opts for ventilated steel. tax)Īs well as a new flagship family of coolers, Corsair is today launching a new mid-tower chassis, or three to be precise. US price (as reviewed): MSRP $79.99 (exc. open testbed, I created this chart using the GPU clocks from GPU-Z from the 10x consecutive Metro Exodus benchmark runs, both in and out of the case.UK price (as reviewed): MSRP £79.99 (inc.

If you can live with the noise, the H100i PRO RGB is extremely effective with high fan speeds.)
(For the record, the same CPU/cooler on the open testbed with 100% CPU fans was only 41 C under this simulated gaming load. Still, load temps topping out at around 75 C with a Ryzen 9 3900X are fine, though I probably would have had lower numbers with the radiator positioned on the front intake – drawing in cool air – rather than the top (which would also have likely affected GPU temps). 4000D chart until I realized that all testbed GPU temps were recorded using 100% CPU fans to prevent thermal bottlenecks with our processor. However these temps are targeted by the GPU, so average clock speeds will be a better determination of performance here (more on this in a moment).Īs to CPU temps, I was going to create an open testbed vs. Compared to results from the same system on the open test platform, the GPU results were nearly identical, with the range being 76 – 77 C in ambient temps of 21.5 – 22.0 C.
