Corsair 5000T build and installation guide - 10 fans and two different AIO coolers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.พ. 2022
- This is an installation and build guide for the Corsair iCue 5000T RGB. A mid-tower case with "smarts". I've crafted a separate features review ( • Corsair iCue 5000T RGB... ) if you want to know what's good but this is an in-depth guide on how to build in it, the features and layout specs and the problems along the way.

Corsair H150i Elite LCD AIO - go.corsair.com/DVA2b5
The 5000T comes with some things pre-installed to make your life easier with 3 X Corsair LL120 fans, a Commander Core XT (fan/RGB controller) and multiple lighting strips for extra RGB.
It is able to hold multiple 360mm radiators and you can put those on the top, front or back (motherboard panel). But not all three.
In this video I'm showing you two different configurations. One with the NZXT Kraken Z73 ( • NZXT Kraken Z73 RGB In... ) top mounted, with three exhaust fans and three intake. The other with 10 fans (9 X ML120 RGB Elite) and the Corsair H150i Elite Cappellix LCD AIO ( • Corsair H150i Elite LC... ). I've benchmarked both layouts and yes, more fans is better but check the full video for the details.
Highlights:
Inclusion of Commander Core XT makes life easier for fans
RGB for days
multiple mounting points for SSDs and rads
Solid and intelligent layout with loads of space for cables
Lowlights
HDD cage is problematic as it restricts PSU space and/or 360mm rad side mounting

how do you configure two commander core tx in one software
Finally someone that has done a side AIO build! Just what I was looking for and showing each part of the case in depth. Very well done. Thank you
Wanting to do my first build, so I've been watching a ton of Corsair Case Builds. Your is the most thorough review, build, instructions, and explanation that I have seen. Thank you for going over the iCue software, plus two Corsair RGB controllers. Very very helpful.
Thanks for this. This is why I put in so much effort because I want to help people. Hope you liked and subbed 👍
@@TheProvokedPrawn Same here! I’m looking to build a similar build and your video on the 5000D and this one are incredibly helpful and will definitely ease my first build with the amount of RGB fans as you cover the fan hubs and software!
@@TheProvokedPrawnHey I have 5000T 2 liquid cool radiator for both cpu and gpu. What I did was put the cpu radiator up top the side mount was my gpu radiator 6 exhaust total I have 4090aourus water-force. I put 3 Intake fans in the front and 1 Intake in the back with dust filter what do you think?
What did u get pls tell all ur specs, cooler, mobo all model details
I'm building my wife an enthusiast built in this case. I had been watching more just to familiarize myself with the case than anything else. Very nice video. Thorough, no added fat, and knowledgeable. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
You rock, thanks for the detailed video! I received my 5000T today and am awaiting delivery of the final components for my all white build. This is super helpful and I am sure it will help me save time during setup.
I aim to please. Good luck with the build
Hello,will i be able to add more LL120s fans to this case without buying anything else? For example 3 more fans. Dont i need to buy separate controllers for them or i just buy fans and connect to the stock core xt controller? Will i be able to control all the rgb and speed on 6 fans with stock controller? Thanks
Your detailed content along with your soothing voice is a perfect combination. Love the channel, keep up the wonderful tech reviews!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Most appreciated
I need to turn my sub woofer down when I watch his vids
You quite literally answered ALL of my questions about this case.
Brilliant video, you've earnt my subscription
Thanks. Glad it was useful and thanks for subbing
Last time I built a PC, it had a Soundblaster 16. So I needed a modern guide for my shiny new Corsair case. This was perfect. Cheers!
Glad I could help! Hope you enjoyed enough to sub :)
Thankyou for talking about how to setup the rgb effects in iCue, I was wondering why mine wasn't working properly on boot up :)
By far the best review of this case I have ever seen. I'm getting thus case and studying your video thoroughly. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video, I am going to be getting this case soon. Do you have any software issues with CAM/iCue overriding each other?
I know this is an old video so you probably won't catch this but man did this realllllly help me out. I just built my very first build and your video was so helpful every step of the way. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for making this comment Mario. It's nice to hear when I've helped people. Makes the effort worth it!
Thanks for making another great case review ! Keep them up ! they are amazing to watch and have great commentary.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Appreciate it!
Awesome step-by-step build on this case. Just got all my parts and am excited to get started and your video will be my guide lol :)
Good luck! Hope you enjoyed enough to sub. Also check this video out too th-cam.com/video/jvXCbny-Suw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for making such a detailed video, its helping me a lot with putting my pc together in this case.
Glad to hear that!
Great video, very thorough. First time I have ever seen someone install the motherboard so late in a build.
Try to be useful 😉
I love how much He Explained
You provide some of the best instructional videos. Well done.
Many thanks Phil 😁
Love your content Prawn! You helped me in my latest build much appreciated!
Thank you, thank you! :) Glad to be useful.
Thank you! You helped me so much with all the vids prawn, PC is on, aio works fans all spining!! Couldnt have done it witbout you! My utmost appreciation for you sir, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad I could help! Hope you appreciated enough to subscribe 🦐
I am amazed you were able to get the HDD to fit. My wiring is a mess, and I was getting so frustrated that I took it out. Maybe I should try to fit it back in.
just about to start my new build with this case, thx for the extremely detailed review/tutorial - keep up the great work!
Glad I could help!
@@TheProvokedPrawn after building it, im a bit torn apart... I had a much smaller case before für a fraction of the price (only 70.- compared to 300+ of the iCue) - but the other one was easier to build. Im still having those thick bundled power cables - and no matter what i do, they push the wimsy side (compared to the robust glass on the other side) now and then open. Then Ill have another command (pro), used to attach it with 2 of the corsair magnet stripes it comes with - somehow on the iCue 5000T the magnets are not strong enough to keep the commander in place. The fans are cool - and i have to say, they are even enough as case fans - even for my heavily overclocked i9 12900k which sometimes gets extremely close to 1.5V when loaded ;) My RTX 3090 (stock air cooled) remains below 70 degrees C under 100% load (even when the load lasts overnight - deep learning - and I pushed it to to +107% power limit - so what i really love is the airflow and the lighting - but some design and material choice of the case is typically "may it look great, sell high, but produced cheap". My old case had totally 14 x 120mm spots, fitting 360mm rad in 3 spaces (bottom, top, front side) - coling effciency due to not having a direct airflow channel (side opening only - no front) was worse - but in terms of fitting parts and cables it was actually well thought and efficient. Even for my QL120s which io wanted to fit - their cables are really have to be strechted to reach the commander - so the fact that they dont even check their own top lighting fans for proper compatibility speaks many words - i cannot even put their cables into the "rapid route" because they're not long enough and of course, corsair tehmselfe dont offer RGB extensions.
Im not saying its crap - but for this price i expected seriously more - especially that wismy cable side door - a few cables can pull it open...
Hello,will i be able to add more LL120s fans to this case without buying anything else? For example 3 more fans. Dont i need to buy separate controllers for them or i just buy fans and connect to the stock core xt controller? Will i be able to control all the rgb and speed on 6 fans with stock controller?

Thanks for the detail. Great insight for anyone building with this case.
Thanks for watching. That was the idea. Trying to be as thorough as I could be.
Best review on this case ever. Many thanks. 👍👍
Very kind
Thank you for the video, my case didn’t come with the manual….sooo you helped me put it back together 🙃
Glad I could help. Hope you appreciated enough to sub :)
Thanks for the info, you never disappoint!
My wife would disagree
Awesome video, thank you so much for your time and attention to detail in making this video. I’m about to build my first ever PC and this is the case I’m using. I am very nervous about managing all the different cables but eager to get started; your video has been a massive help and gives me an idea of what I’m in for. Im finding it daunting before I have even got started but want to prepare myself for when the components arrive so I can (hopefully) have a relatively smooth time of building it.
I have a question regarding the splitter you mention to enable use of all front end panel USB ports (my mobo only has one port) what is the name of the product I am looking for? I have tried an Amazon search but the connectors look different to those in the video and I do not know the official name for them due to being a newb. If you could link an appropriate product from Amazon or similar that would be perfect however if not possible then just the name of the connector would be grand.
Thanks again
Can watch this over and over! Thank you for all the explanations :) I was wondering though, if you use a cable USB3.0 splitter (19pin) if you only have one port on your motherboard, does that affect bandwith? Are those 4 ports still using 3.0 speeds? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for this video. I just got this case and went all LLs and extremely intimidating doing the 10 fans and AIO install… scared I’ll put it too tight 🥴
Hope it was useful and you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
Thank you so much for being so thorough and setting up the multiple options in the case. I'm also going to do the Aio on the side like you did at the end of the video. I did see a temp test video with smoke blown through the case and they found it was better to install only two exhaust fans at the top because that third one over the AIO actually was pulling a lot of the cold air out before it reached the mobo.
One thing I am curious about that you didn't discuss was, can you make each fan a different solid color such as one red, one blue, one pink, one green in the icue program?
I like this trend of non-terrible looking intake fans. I have some AL120s and they look so good as intake as do these corsairs.
👍
Great build and such a beautiful case. Wish it was cheaper though, it's insanely pricey for a mid-tower
I love your videos very informative and thorough !!!!!
Thank you!
Great video! Working with my son on pretty much the exact build. I have a couple of questions. Did you ever find a proper USB 3.0 splitter? You have 10 fans split (6+4) on 2 Commander Cores. How are they split? Front (intake)/Top (exhaust) on one and Radiator Side (intake)/Rear (exhaust) on the second core? How on earth did you cable manage the front fans cleanly? Fan 1 on the bottom isn’t long enough to run to the top of the case and down to the preinstalled Commander Core. It would have to cross the side panel radiator fans. But your final build looks completely clean. Lastly, I have an Asus ROG Strix Z790-E Mobo and only 2 usb 2.0. If I use the splitter from my H150i LCD, I can take care of one Commander Core and Cooler. I can use the 2nd USB 2.0 for the other Commander Core. Can I plug my Corsair HX1000i usb into the daisy chain input cable from the second Commander Core? **Note** This is my first ever PC build.
OpenRGB is a lightweight, open source option I found for RGB control. Eliminates most of the many bloated software programs if you have different brands, etc. Like in my case I have a Gigabyte mother board and a Corsair case/fans.
Icue is just fine. Corsair or nothing
Just built my own 5000T and your video gave me the great idea of side mounting the AIO to pull cold air in versus to mounted exhaust. Any recommendations on which Corsair fans work best if i were to copy your 10 fan build? I know you use the ML. Just wanna get your thoughts if I should just use all ML fans
amazing build
Thanks
I did build in one of these last year and today replaced the PSU with a larger 1200w one and added a 4080. There are problems with the case but none are perfect. With a large PSU and lots of cables the 3.5” drive cradle doesn’t fit, the rubber grommets fall off when wires go through, there is a pointless door behind the rear panel that gets in the way and the horizontal slots are a bit low so you can’t use them with tall cards but overall it’s a good case. I have an AIO using 2 fan location on the side panel then all the other fan locations have a fan. I also have another on top of the PSU bay forcing air into the 4080.
Love ya videos dude keep up the great work
Thank you! I'll try 👍😎
For the vertical mount GPU, just drill some tiny holes where the fans are. Make it look professional though you know. I’d say that would look good.
Thank you what a great video! I purchased the z590 EVGA dark (eatx), do you think it would fit fine with the cable cover panel? Can't wait to take delivery of this case and the new MB! Thanks again!! Subscribed!
It is designed to take upto an EATX motherboard, so yes. You will be fine 🤠
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you!
Building in this case now. Did you keep the hard drive tray in the final build with the installed side fans? Moved the hard drive tray forward and it doesnt have enough room for the fans as well
Thanks for the video! 👍
Quick question though. Would leaving the 3-fan radiator on top as exhaust and then having a 3-fan front and 3-fan side intake setup give better cooling?
Not something I tested. I'd imagine it would be comparable though
@@TheProvokedPrawn i think exhaust from top is better and fresh cool air coming in front.. instead of aio in front the heat from radiator will just add temperature inside instead of blowing it our directly on top
@@AldousTV143 so you think radiator should go on top and be exhaust?
Hello,will i be able to add more LL120s fans to this case without buying anything else? For example 3 more fans. Dont i need to buy separate controllers for them or i just buy fans and connect to the stock core xt controller? Will i be able to control all the rgb and speed on 6 fans with stock controller? Thanks
Voice is so calming. Buying this case and same fans as youve used here. Am i good to just follow this from the beginning will it work ?
Should do!
Great video as always Prawn! I've got a question though: which case makes the front fans stand out the most, the 7000d airflow or this one?
This has LL120s Vs airguides in the 7000D. So it's basically RGB Vs airflow
@@TheProvokedPrawn so you're saying the 7000d has better airflow?
This is my next case, but in black. I'm surprised, with all the options and details this case comes with, that there isn't an additional side panel with a vent for vertical gpu lovers for that intake. 399.99 is steep but with that optional door it would fulfill the price imo.
It seems like you got a significant CPU temperature drop with side mount; did you notice any change to GPU temps on the second benchmark test with the side mount AIO?
Installing a cooler above the bag or on the side of the Corsair 5000D. I think the best way I did with this bag is similar to the 5000D
I really like that case, the integrated rgp and fan controller are a great addition. Unfortunately I run 4 hard drives and 2 ssds. Anyone know something similar that can accept more hard drives?. Looking to do my first custom loop.
Sir,h170i elite lcd will fit in this case?Thank you kindly.
Can I top mount a push/pull H150i in this case? I know it is possible in the 5000d airflow by mounting the pull fans outside the case. Does this case also have the clearance?
Any temp change if the radiator is mounted up top with fans where you put the radiator? Room for push/pull rad setup?
I have a quick question. I see you have the Dominator ram. I am looking at two options. There is the Dominator at 6200mhz for $250 or the Vengeance at 6400 for $200. Is the $50 increase worth going with the slower Dominator?
Is it possible to mount a 420mm aio rad to the front for fresh air intake to the cpu? There are various mounting slots in the front that match said configuration, but it’s not confirmed by Corsair on their website :/
At 39:58, I see you have trouble closing the side door at the bottom. I am experiencing the same issue with a slightly different build. How did you manage to fix it/fully close the door?
I have the two 3.0 cables connected but only one port per cable is working. Have an idea why that might be? Does it matter which one is connected to which header?
Just did the same configuration as your last for my 5000d Airflow. The side mounted radiator gave me 5-7 degrees cooler temps versus when I had the radiator mounted on top.
Neat

Mr Prawn - first of all, great video, and really helped demystify some questions I had about my 5000T when I did my build a few days ago. At one point in your vid (around the 34:30 mark), you talk about how there are 2 USB 3 leads that need to go into the mobo (for the top 4 ports), and say that you can find a splitter online if your board only has one. I'm in that particular predicament, but I cannot find any online. I have, however, found other threads w/people who have my board, who are also looking for ways to solve this, and they were not able to find anything either! There are a few cables on amazon that claim to be USB 3 splitters, but the reviews all say that they are not true splitters, and make it so that neither of the USB 3 leads are seen by the mobo.
Could you please provide an example of where I can get a legitimate USB 3 splitter so that I can plug them both into the single port that I have? Thanks!!
Sadly I bought one but haven't had a chance to try it so I can't say for sure it works and it's got poor reviews now since I bought it too 😭
@@TheProvokedPrawn oh no, "checks mobo just ordered"
Do you have any problems where the case RGB lights are disconnected and connected sometimes and this just turn off?
Could I install the 4090 suprimx liquid cooled vertically instead of horizontal?
Would I need a special motherboard? I already purchased the case and was planning on using my asustek z390-p motherboard, will that work?
Where on the motherboard do you plug The Core XT and The pro that came with the H150i?
Going to make a new Black Friday build and I've settled on the 5000T as my case. I'm not a big RGB guy at all, but I love the 4 USB ports on the front. I don't like water cooled systems in general, I've always used air-cooling. I know the new 13th gen Intel's and AM5 Ryzen's run very hot though! I have the Noctua DH-15 and I don't plan on over-clocking. I would have loved to have seen the results from a passive air cooler in the system. Otherwise, this video was very informative and will give me a jump start on my build!

does asus rog strix b650e-e would be enough to activate all usb ports on the front?
Very in depth video. Really appreciate it 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, Do you know if it's possible to set up a Aoi cpu cooler 3x120mm on the front panel of the case?
@7:42 the cable on the bottom that goes into the 5V GND , would you happen to know what its called as ive got it missing inside my case? thanks
Didn't know I had OCD until I watched this video and his cable management. O.o
Though I do want to thank you for showing the caveats of using the hard drive cage. Buying a case, fans, etc has been last on my list for a new build because I'm wanting to move a 6TB HDD over from my current one.
🤣
I have a rear LL120 (FanHub 1, RGB1), top 2 LL120 (FanHub 2, RGB2; FanHub3, RGB3), Front 240mm AIO radiator fans LL120 (both go into AIO pump, RGB4, RGB5), and last one case fans LL120 below the radiator, this would go to RGB6, it's fan PWM header if connect to FanHub, what number of the port it goes to ? If connect to FanHub4 is there any issue on fans syncing matter ? Because radiator fans are not using FanHub4 and FanHub5. it connect to AIO pump instead
where would i get a splitter chunky usb cable for the front panel
Does it run cooler than the 5000D air flow with 12 fan setup you did?
Working on a build using this case and this cpu cooler. One thing I'll say: I would not recommend removing that back cable holder panel if you want it back on. It's an absolute nightmare to put back on once you remove it and seat the radiator fans/mobo
seems like you are very familiar with corsair products. can you mix and match different corsair fans on the same controller? are there any incompatibilities (xt/pro)between controllers and you have to use only the commander core xt?
Corsair says you should not mix and match. I have done it but it didn't cause issues. Make of that what you will.
thank you .......türkiyeden selamlar buradaki fiyatlar yüzünden rüyamızda göreceğimiz kasa...kasa tek kelime ile süper
Will the tuff z690 asus motherboard work for this case need some help please or with my z490 rog maximus wifi work
Just curious, why didn't you go for the white ML120 RGB Elites?
I just used what they sent tbh. 🤷♂️
Is this basically a 5000X/D case with better panels?
Hello, great video! Just did a case swap to this 5000t and its awesome. Only thing is the top left and side leds aren't lit up. Any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind, somehow I missed a sata cable.
👍 glad it was an easy fix 👍

how do you configure two commander core tx in one software
can one 140 fan be installed on the back of the case?
Hi! I have a question. I plan to buy this case, 4 additional fans and a Corsair H150i cooler. Will I need an additional fan controller? If so, what model? Regards!
Here's a guide on how to wire Corsair fans that'll help th-cam.com/video/eEeMzFHxtWw/w-d-xo.html
This video is and will be super helpful when I finally build my PC in the next couple weeks. Just two questions:
1) I have a Aorus Z690 Pro DDR5 Mobo that only has one USB 3.2 header. What do I do with the extra USB front panel cable? What will happen if I don't use it? I can't find anything about this online.
2) Is it possible to do a push pull set up with 3 fans push and 2 fans pull? I would like 13 fans in my set up but don't want to buy another commander pro since im getting one from the case and another from the AIO kit. So taking one fan out the "pull" would keep me from spending more money. (Only reason I want push pull is to cover that extra gap above the mobo and under the fans in this huge case lol)
Thank you!
1) you can either use a splitter or don't use it. If you don't then you will just have less front panel connections. No other problems.
2) you could do, sure. Though it would look weird, it'll still work. I've done it before in a case where a third fan wouldn't fit.
@@TheProvokedPrawn do you have a recommended splitter I should get? Also found something on amazon that plugs into one of the pci-e slots and it gives an extra usb c and usb 3.2 header. Thank you!
Happen to know what version of iCue you're running? My iCue isn't detecting the 5000T as a device and is getting a little wonky with detecting fans since I swapped over to this case from the 5000D.
link.corsair.com/latesticue
great video. So my MOBO manual states plug AIO into pump header but Corsair AIO manual gives me the option to do either or...why does it matter!? Does iCUE still control the AIO fans and pump if I plug into either?
Use AIO. It's what it's for. But you'll be fine.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Okay thank you. keep up the awesome videos!
Considering buying a Corsair Aio, is it counter productive to mount it on the top exhaust? wouldn't that warm up the water? just curios. thinking the front side panel area atm where the cord guard is
I've tested both side and top mounted and there is little difference
hey, could you do AIO at the top and fans on the outside? lol sorry for the idiotic question!
What would u recommend? Should I put aio on top as an exhaust and 3 front and 3 side as intake? Or aio on the side as intake and too fans exhaust like what u had? Which cools better and saves aio life?
I am of the opinion that the AIO is fine in either position. So it's upto you. I believe I showed thermal differences?
Question about the front panel, it has two meshes on it, can they be separated? If not then you'll have dust trapped in between those meshes making it near impossible to remove dust from them.
You can remove them yes
How many commander cores are in that setup. I’m doing a SL120 x 10 fans that require 2 usb alone so take up all the commander pro, then I have the H150i cooler that uses one usb and then I have the icue lcd adapter kit which also has another usb i believe . My motherboard only has 2 USB ports and I also need 1 port for case usb and annoyingly the 10 fans require power yet 1 commander core only has power for 6 so I’m guessing I need 2 commander cores ideally.
Two. You can get usb splitters to deal with the lack of headers.
Did you use 2 separate USB headers for the Commander Core XT and the Commander Core? If so, do you know if you can use the USB daisy chain on the Commander Core XT, to go Commander Core USB into Commander Core XT daisy chain and then into a single USB header in the motherboard? Basically I only have 1 spare USB header, but 7 Corsair fans to power/rgb.
Yes, you can use usb splitters.
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks for such a fast reply! Subbing :)
Hi there,
I'm building a pc with the Corsair iCue 5000X RGB. I'm going with the Corsair H150i elite capellix. My question is, should I match the fans that come with the cooler which are the ML120 RGB PWM fans? or I can use the fans that come with the case and just buy an extra one ML or SP for the back one? Thanks in advance and great video.
My advice would be don't mix and match fans if you can help it. Better aesthetics and airflow if you keep them all the same. It's perfectly fine to swap out the ones on the H150i Elite with something else if you wish.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks so much for the quick reply! My original plan was to buy 4 ML 120 so the whole case has the same fans, i was worried about compatibility and fan controls as this is pretty much the first time building up a PC and still a newbie. Thanks a lot and keep up with the great videos!
@@silverfox97480 yeah that is a valid concern. Though a mix of fans will work, some will have different airflow capabilities, different min and max speeds and other specs, so it's better to keep them all the same if you can
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yeah fair enough! One more thing, if I get those 4 extras ML120, I will end up with the 3 SP120 spares the comes with the case, is it worth it to use them on the side mount like in your video or not? I'd be happy with a 7 fans setting if it involves more cost and messing installing those 3 spares. Thanks again
I just bought this case and an MSI z690 force, and wouldn't ya know, the case has two front side USB 3.2 gen1 connectors and the board only has one header. Crap. Looking for a port cap or plug now...
47:50 is the low profile psu shroud for side fans included with the case ?
Yes
I found this helpful as my son and I got the 5000x, which doesn't have some of the features yours has, but is very similar.
7:30 Did that control module come with the case? How do you feel about the iCUE software? I didn't find that their website provided enough info on it. Have you used other HMSes than iCUE? If so, which brands (e.g. Lian Li, Cooler Master, ASUS, etc.) and how do they compare to iCUE? Also, in your experience, is having HMS worth the extras involved (cost, hardware, whatever)? Any other thoughts? I'm trying to figure out if I should go for iCUE, the ASUS HMS, or something else. I still have to get the PSU, and I may need to get an AIO because I don't have AC, so those are factors in my purchases. Please note that I do NOT care about LCDs, RGBs and such - I'll be looking at my screen, not inside my case. Thus, my primary interest in the ability to have it monitor my hardware, provide failure predictions/warnings and control my USEFUL hardware in a uniform fashion.
17:57 What is that? I don't see that on my 5000x.
38:00 Will that be a problem for all GCs, or just double wides? What width do you think would make it feasible without an AIO? I'd been planning to use that for my GC, but now I'm bummed.
39:00 Does mounting the SSDs on that grating inversely affect airflow for the PSU or other parts?
41:00 & 49:00 During both temp tests, did you close the case up?
I am starting a similar build today with the 5000x, Corsair LCD AIO and 10 fans. Pretty confused on how to get all of the fans connected and controllable. My MB has 2 2.0 usb headers..will I need an additional internal USB hub like the nzxt hub?
If you're confused after watching the entire video then I failed.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Absolutely not. This is all me. This is my 2nd ever pc build and of everything, all of the corsair "stuff" confuses me (the built in hub on the case, the commander core xt, the commander core that comes with the aio, the lighting core thing that came with the fans) and none of them provide any instruction to connect more than 6 fans. Without your video, I wouldn't even know what questions to ask. This video also earned a subscribe click from me.
Does it come with a corsiar fan hub XT? And how do I control my 10 fans if software only allows 6? Icue software
It does, I showed that. As for more fans, you need another Commander or perhaps connect them directly to motherboard headers for power and to lighting nodes for the RGB
Do I just connect my 2 fan hubs to a USB 2.0 and to SATA?
Curious why you didn’t use a Corsair AIO? They already come with the Elite ML fans and the LCD screen.
I did? I guess you didn't watch the whole thing
Is it possible for me to put the 360mm radiator on the top with the 10 fan setup
Yes
So at the moment I'm using the Obsidian 500D RGB SE, would you say it's worth it to swap it out for the 5000T?
I was also wondering, if you want to use 10 fans, how would you do it?
I was thinking front and side intake and top and back exhaust.
Thanks in advance c:
Yes. The 5000T has better airflow and is a much better case imo. (I have used both). And yes to the fan logic.
@@TheProvokedPrawn holy shit mate quick response, thank you so much :D
@The Provoked Prawn one last question, would you take 4x140 fans for the case or 6x120?
Radiator has 3x120 for the top and in the back I'm limited to 120.
