![]() ![]() Hopefully this new number model scheme works better for consumers. Let me know what you think of this 4000 series release, I like the new naming scheme, I think will simplify things because the Eclipse-Obsidian- Graphite series lineups from Corsair were getting a bit too complicated. The fact that they didn’t think of that is a little unfortunate, but stay tuned for my review of the 4000D Airflow, hopefully it will at least check off the high performance box while the 4000X RGB checks off the pretty box. I actually think that a high airflow front panel should be included with the 4000X RGB, then you would have an awesome value adding feature and the ability to choose between pretty glass or high performance mesh. And you can find the P400A with the triple fans for under $100. My only complaint here with the price is that the 4000X RGB is priced a bit too high when compared versus the Phanteks P500A RGB model, which is only $10 more but seems to offer a lot more in terms of airflow. Plus I really like what they did with the white model, incorporating some gray accents, which I think would have looked really cool on the black model too. I will give Corsair a thumbs up on the 4000 series’ release, because design wise it feels consistent, the build quality is excellent, and the assembly experience is flawless. I will be testing that later, so make sure to stay tuned for that review/analysis to see how it compares to other roughly $79 USD airflow-focused cases. I think that the 4000D Airflow – which was supposed to come instead of the black 4000X RGB that was sent – will achieve much better results. However, with that pretty glass at the front you have to expect that temperatures will suffer. The AIRFLOW variant is available for either case, featuring an attractive mesh screen instead of a solid steel front panel, significantly improving airflow.For my concluding remarks, the 4000X RGB is a really pretty enclosure. It blends comfortably into the rest of the design, but the yellow may not appeal to some builders. Otherwise, it will only fit a 240mm radiator.īoth cases come equipped with effective and easy to clean dust filters on the top and bottom, featuring a small yellow tab matching Corsair’s style. The case has space for only one at a time either a 360mm radiator in the front or a 280mm radiator on top if low-profile RAM is used. The 4000D still supports plenty of cooling setups, but its smaller size can become an issue with radiator placement. An additional radiator can also fit in the front of the case, and a push/pull 360mm fits in the top of the chassis. The 5000D’s inclusion of motherboard tray fans is the largest difference in cooling ability between the two, opening up additional possibilities for water cooling. ![]() In comparison, the 4000D includes a respectable 6x 120mm fan slots, 4x 140mm, and space for one radiator in 360mm, 280mm, or 240mm size.

Both of these cases excel at cooling, offering a number of fan and radiator placement options.
