Product overview
Corsair’s 5000D Airflow launched on January 14, 2021 as part of the Corsair 5000 Series mid‑tower lineup. It targets the high_end tier: a roomy ATX chassis for builders who want strong airflow and radiator capacity without stepping up to a full tower.
It fits Mini‑ITX to ATX and E‑ATX boards (305×277 mm), GPUs up to 420 mm and CPU coolers to 170 mm, with mounts for up to 10×120 or 4×140 fans and multiple 360 mm radiators (front/top/side). It takes a standard ATX PSU, provides front I/O with 2× USB 3.0, 1× USB‑C, and audio, plus tempered glass and 4× 2.5" + 2× 3.5" drive support. Notable: the motherboard‑tray side mount lets you add a second 360 mm radiator.
