At first glance, the 5000D RS ARGB impresses with its bold, modern black exterior. The front is a 3D Y-pattern steel mesh panel — not just for looks, but for serious airflow. Unlike traditional closed-front designs that choke airflow, this mesh allows cool air to rush in effortlessly, making sure your components stay cool even under heavy loads. This design is especially advantageous for builds pushing GPUs and CPUs to their limits, whether for high-end gaming, content creation, or rendering workloads.
Inside is where the case truly shines. The motherboard area supports everything from compact Mini-ITX boards to full-size E-ATX motherboards, accommodating motherboards up to 305 × 277 mm. With GPU clearance up to 450 mm and CPU cooler clearance up to 175 mm, the FRAME 5000D RS ARGB can house even the largest graphics cards and tower coolers. For those building heavy-duty rigs — with multi-GPU setups, large PSUs, or robust cooling — this case offers ample space and flexibility.
Storage and expansion are well-covered too: with 2 × 3.5″ bays for HDDs and 6 × 2.5″ bays for SSDs, you get plenty of options for combining high-speed SSDs with bulk storage. The expansion slot area includes 8 horizontal slots and support for up to 3 vertical slots (with riser card), offering flexibility if you want vertical GPU mounting or additional expansion cards.
Cooling — both air and liquid — is a major strength. The case includes 4 × 140 mm RS-series ARGB fans out of the box, already pre-wired with daisy-chainable ARGB headers for easy lighting setup. But if you want to go further, you can support up to 14 fans (in 120 mm) or large radiator configurations: a massive 420 mm radiator on top, or 360 mm radiators at front or side — perfect for custom liquid-cooling loops or high-performance AIOs. This makes FRAME 5000D RS ideal for those wanting silent yet powerful cooling or pushing thermals to the edge without compromising aesthetics.
One of the thoughtful touches is internal cable management. The “RapidRoute 2.0” system offers a pegboard-style motherboard tray, rotatable tie-down buckles and modular cable looms, along with about 42 mm of clearance behind the tray. The end result: clean, organized builds with minimal visible cabling — which not only looks professional but also improves airflow and simplifies maintenance or upgrades later.
For those who like aesthetics as much as performance, the tempered-glass side panel reveals the interior — components, cable work, ARGB lighting — making it ideal for showcase builds. And with support for reverse-connector motherboards, a modular chassis design, and upgradeable elements (side panels, I/O modules, fan mounts, etc.), this case is built for longevity. You can start with a simple build and expand or upgrade later without replacing the entire chassis.
In short: the Corsair FRAME 5000D RS ARGB is more than just a PC case — it’s a platform for high-performance, custom, and upgradeable builds. Whether you’re building a high-end gaming rig, a powerhouse workstation, or a clean, RGB-laden showcase machine, this chassis provides the space, cooling, flexibility, and aesthetics to bring your vision to life. For builders who value quality, airflow, and modularity — and want a chassis that grows with them — the 5000D RS ARGB stands out as a top-tier choice.
