Product overview
Corsair launched the iCUE 5000X RGB on January 14, 2021 as part of the 5000 Series of mid‑tower cases. Positioned in the high_end tier, it’s the showcase/RGB-focused variant of the 5000 platform for builders who want clean cable routing and tempered‑glass styling without giving up space.
It accommodates standard ATX builds and ATX PSUs, fits long GPUs up to 420 mm and air coolers to 170 mm, and supports three 360 mm radiators (front, top, and side) plus a rear 120 mm. Three 120 mm RGB fans and a Lighting Node CORE are included, and front I/O provides USB‑C, dual USB 3.0, and combo audio. Best suited to showcase/RGB rigs, custom loops or AIOs, and systems needing high GPU clearance. Unique: tempered glass on four exterior sides.
