In this part of the video, the YouTuber discusses the differences and updates in the Corsair 7000x case. Key points include changes in the front panel design to accommodate different fan sizes, improvements in fan mounting hardware, and adjustments for better RGB lighting and airflow. The video highlights the case’s suitability for water cooling setups with additional space for radiators and accessories. However, there are concerns raised about potential airflow restrictions due to changes in the filter design and decreased clearance between the top filter and cover plate compared to the 5000x model. The video also addresses the vertical GPU mount option and recommends against its use unless for water cooling setups.
00:06:00
In this segment of the video, the focus is on reviewing the Corsair 7000D case. Key points include the need to remove the cable bar for the mount, appreciation for the magnetic filter on the side panel, cable management features like plastic channels and Velcro straps, limited cable space under the power route with dual hard drive cages, criticism of the hinged metal cable door for inefficient cable management, the suggestion to rely on Velcro straps instead, the effective utilization of hard drive cages for maximizing space, and concerns about loose-fitting cages causing vibration noise. Recommendations include ditching the cable door feature to improve cable management efficiency, and potentially investing in additional drive cages or features for better functionality.

In this part of the video, it talks about several key features and details of the Corsair 7000D airflow case. Some important points covered include the lack of rubber damping in the drive sleds, the ample headroom above the motherboard, the cable cutouts, radiator compatibility, and the sturdy construction using 1.7 millimeter thick steel to prevent warping. It also mentions the hinge knuckles, tempered glass panel sagging slightly, the power supply filter, and the case’s weight. Specific radiator compatibility configurations are highlighted with a focus on installation considerations. The case’s weight is compared humorously to a pile of e-waste.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the focus is on the technical details of a large computer case. Features discussed include difficulties in accessing the rear of the case due to water cooling, limitations in motherboard size (defined as EATX), the need to remove the cable bar for wider boards, the absence of standoffs for EATX support, the inclusion of a vertical GPU mount, and the front I/O panel configuration. It is highlighted that EATX is not an official form factor and may vary in size. The discussion also touches on the inconvenience of accessing the rear I/O in large cases and the importance of front I/O panel accessibility.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the focus is on case manufacturers potentially over-tightening screws, leading to split plastic. A secondary plastic cover without split pieces is mentioned, designed for more radiator or fan clearance. Testing involves the 7000d airflow model and simulating the 7000x by modifying the case setup. Results show minimal temperature changes with front panel removal but a 5-degree increase when simulating the 7000x. Front panel ventilation significantly affects CPU temperature, with the airflow plate offering the best results, showcasing the impact of air exit location.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on the performance of the Corsair 7000D airflow case compared to other models such as the Corsair 4000D and 5000D airflow. The 7000D airflow case demonstrates strong cooling capabilities due to the quantity and size of its stock fans. Various competitors like the Meshify 2XL and Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 are mentioned. By modifying fan configurations, temperature averages improve, showcasing the case’s cooling potential. The simulations show that the CPU cooling performance of the 7000D airflow case is excellent. The 7000D airflow case is commended for its airflow and cooling abilities, but it is noted that it can be loud at maximum fan speeds.
00:21:00
In this segment of the video, the YouTuber discusses noise levels tested on cases, with the Meshify 2 XL scoring 38.7 dBA and the 7000D Airflow reaching 36 dBA. The 7000D Airflow shows high CPU temperatures, with the Massify 2 XL averaging 53 degrees in comparison. The 7000D Airflow case is highlighted as big and expensive, targeting a specific market. The YouTuber also compares different case models like the 4000D, 5000D, and 7000D Airflow in terms of performance and price, recommending the 4000D as a reasonable entry-level choice. The 5000D is positioned as a more sensible alternative in mid-towers due to its price and improvements over the 4000D. Additionally, the 7000D Airflow stands out for its support of multiple hard drives and radiators, making it suitable for specific user needs. Ultimately, the YouTuber suggests the Meshfield 2XL as a wise investment due to its functional features and compatibility with larger motherboards.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on reviewing two cases, with the 7000X receiving a negative recommendation due to its lack of functionality for its high price compared to other options. The case has good build quality but is excessively designed, prioritizing aesthetics over functionality. Features like tempered glass, RGB LEDs, and fan controllers are mentioned but not valued highly by the reviewers. The airflow is deemed excessive and competitors such as the O11 XL and Fractal Meshify 2 XL are considered better options. Overall, the main issue highlighted is the lack of value for the price, making the 7000X not recommended by the reviewers, who prefer performance-oriented products.
