Launched as part of Corsair’s new lineup announced later in 2020 during the height of the pandemic, their new iCUE line-up, following up on the success of their earlier tempered glass designs but following their new design language. Preceded by the admirable iCUE 4000 chassis, the iCUE 5000-series bring a larger case to 2020’s 4000-series.

Corsair also followed up with an even larger case recently in mid-2021 with the larger 7000-series chassis. We’ll cover that in another review but just know that if you’re looking for a large case to build exotic cooling configurations or demanding multi-GPU solutions for both gaming and workstation usage, both the iCUE 5000- and 7000-series offer larger space for more cooling options as well as parts configuration which is its primary difference versus the earlier iCUE 4000 series.

Focusing on what we have right now, the Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB chassis. The iCUE 5000 series itself consists of 3 chassis options: the iCUE 5000D standard chassis, the iCUE 5000X Airflow and the iCUE 5000X RGB chassis. The standard 5000D  has a standard metal front while the airflow version has a triangle mesh pattern for increased airflow, the one we have for review is the Corsair iCUE 5000X features some additions which, as expected, will drive the cost for the premium inclusions but to name just a few, you’ll be getting a tempered glass in nearly all sides plus some Corsair SP RGB Elite fans, those alone is an $80 3-pack value on retail.

But I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s proceed to the rest of the review to see what’s hot and what’s not on the Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB chassis. Read on!

Features & Specification

  • The 5000X RGB makes a stunning, showpiece-worthy PC easy to build and easier to keep cool with the space and flexibility to mount multiple 360mm radiators, all surrounded by beautiful tempered glass on four sides.
  • House your system behind four stunning tool-free tempered glass panels that highlight your components and RGB lighting.
  • The CORSAIR RapidRoute cable management system makes it simple and fast to route your major cables through a single hidden channel, with a roomy 25mm of space behind the motherboard for all of your cables.
  • Includes three 120mm CORSAIR SP RGB ELITE fans, utilizing AirGuide anti-vortex vanes to concentrate airflow and enhance cooling. Each fan is equipped with eight individually addressable RGB LEDs for brilliant customizable lighting.
  • Fully control and synchronize the RGB lighting for up to six fans out-of-the-box with the included iCUE Lighting Node CORE and CORSAIR iCUE software.
