More Air? Corsair 4000D Airflow Revisited with Noctua fans
268It's been a while since we've done a build guide and in this video we're taking a look at the Corsair 4000D. Along with the fans, we're revisiting the airflow with Noctua fans. Let's see how it performs!
In this video I am revisiting the Corsair 4000D Airflow. I originally built this case back in 2020 and you can see that video here - https://youtu.be/hVTshBAcso4
But now I'm rebuilding it with different parts as part of a project for a friend. While I was doing that I thought it would be fun to swap the fans I was originally using with some Noctua NF-A12x25 fans (see here https://youtu.be/jAf5SOFqpBo) and a top mounted 240mm AIO (The Corsair H100i RGB Pro XT https://youtu.be/scasLVP9j_k).
The idea here is actually multi-fold. I wanted to be able to show the different mounting options for both the fans and the radiators and how easy it is to install other fans both in the case and on the all-in-one cooler as well.
Obviously while doing that I did some thermal tests which you can see at the end of the video.
