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. Ideally I would have liked the radiator in the top but that seems not possible with a 360mm radiator. After ordering I saw that a 360mm radiator can only be placed in the front of the case. EXTREME COOLING POTENTIAL A spacious interior fits up to 8x 120mm or 4x 140mm cooling fans, along with multiple radiators including a 360mm in front and 280mm in the roof. Corsair 4000D Airflow + 360mm AiO Radiator I was gonna build my first pc and I ordered a Corsair 4000D Airflow (+ 4 120mm fans) with an 360mm AiO. 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. Anti-vortex vanes ensure more uniform airflow over radiator fins and more optimal heat dissipation. Front panels have a lot to do with the different models, as the standard 4000D has a solid steel. And you can find the P400A with the triple fans for under $100. CORSAIR recently launched a trio of 4000D cases, with the 4000D, 4000D AIRFLOW, and 4000X RGB. 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. Lots of people talk about the Front and Top mounted Rad, but forget the 5000D has a spot for a 360mm side mount. Interesting suggestion, I think I will try this config for my 5000D build and see how it goes. 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. You will probably get best temperatures in every aspect. 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. For my concluding remarks, the 4000X RGB is a really pretty enclosure.
