Corsair 5000T build and installation guide - 10 fans and two different AIO coolers
1,960This 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 (https://youtu.be/qhC9m6k4GWU) 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.

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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bzSBKgUghs) 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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XahzpIZFyrM). 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
