Darksaber · Sep 15, 2020

The Corsair 4000D Airflow aims to combine excellent ventilation capabilities with a detailed, yet understated design and solid material mix. Available with or without RGB lighting elements, it caters to the vast majority of customers in the $80-$100 range.

Glad to see there are still cases for people who prefer mesh front for maximum airflow over solid front panel.

My P600s has both options available, and removing the front panel helps reduce temp by around 10 degree Celcius.

These are nice cases. Thanks for the review.

gotta add reference fans to showcase a chassis' maximum cooling potential.

I support this. Who just uses the stock case fans/configuration? So as not to compare apples and oranges, settle on some 120mm Noctuas or something and test these across all cases in a standard configuration where possible.

A version of this without the glass side panel would be nice.

I second that. I’d say that, for a typical mid tower for gaming like this, 2x 120 intake fans, a 240 AIO up top and a 1x 120 as exhaust is a pretty typical configuration.
When I build PCs for customers, I always add an Arctic F12 PWM or two, if the case has few fans and if the PC isn’t office-grade.

I don`t know about you folks, but I really like these cases. I prefer more compact atx cases but still I like it.

It is beyond my understanding of why water cooled CPU or GPU they care for a higher within in case Airflow.
Airflow this is a variable that it can be controlled by adjusting DC fan speed.

Them combo headphone/mic sockets are a pita, did not even supply an adapter.

No glass panel??? Would the PC even boot without a see through panel?

Assimilator · Sep 17, 2020

Why would you include only a single USB 3.0 port when the cable supports two, Corsair? That's just cost-cutting for the sake of it.

TechPowerUp staff if you are reading this, please add night/dark photos of the cases that come with rgb lighting.

Somo youtube channels and websites compared with reference fans and the 4000D performed really well, almost equally to cases that have only mesh like the Lancool 2 Mesh. Having a dust filter is a plus to me, so it wins by a margin from these mesh-only cases. Plus, looking nicer doing it.
