All in all, the Corsair FRAME 4000D is a simple case with high airflow that just happens to also have some extreme versatility. It’s a chassis that can grow with your build whether entry to a rockstar build, your cooling options are easily the limit on what you can with this case. The Corsair FRAME 4000D is backed by a 2-year warranty and is available now. I give it my B2G Recommended Seal!Read D
The Corsair Frame 4000D Wood RS is Corsairs latest edition to their case line. Corsair have added in lots of customization options to build your gaming PC to your liking. With different options like glass, wood and more RGB options. I fit a full custom water cooling loop inside to show how clean a build can look inside this case.Watch P

The CORSAIR FRAME 4000D already impressed us with its airflow, build quality and modular design - but now CORSAIR is taking the concept much further with a huge range of customisation accessoriesWatch G
The Corsair Frame 4000D RS was within error of the Epoch and functionally the same, which makes sense given the similar layout and fan arrangement. The most serious competition comes from Lian Li's dirt-cheap Lancool 207 (read our review ) with its 41 degree average, as well as the more expensive 217 (read our review ), also at 41. These cases are at about 45 degrees for the P cores.Read M
From beginners to seasoned pro's alike, the Corsair Frame 4000D hits the sweet spot at a modest budget. Coming in around $80, there are few other cases with so much airflow focus and modularity combined and that's certainly something to pay attention toWatch K
Just got this case, it's quite nice especially considering the price. The only thing I wish it had was a dust filter for the top panel. Everything else is great and pretty straightforward to install. I'm probably going to add some sound dampening material to the back panel and base as it's a bit louder than I'd like but hardly deafening.Watch M
When considering a Corsair case to theme the build into, the 4000D immediately springs to mind. is one of the most affordable midtower cases with more than adequate airflow, plenty of hardware space, and not to mention a plethora of choices when it comes to the styling. Yep, you could say that Corsair have one or two ways of customizing a 4000D.Watch S
This ATX case from Corsair puts them right back into the mix when it comes to ATX mid-towers. The case has everything going for it, offering ease of building for both beginners and advanced users, while also demonstrating its key selling points: modularity, great airflow, and sleek looks.Watch P

This case has a ton of performance and versatility for the money. Thoughts on the Non-Corsair Components This AIO was a pain man. you can see the spider's web mess of cables in the back behind the motherboard tray. That's all from the AIO. Mystic Light also isn't great.Read thread M
BEST ARGB Gaming PC Case!Watch L
The 4000D Airflow is an absolutely great case, I just wish I would've gone for the 5000D for future water cooling. The 4000D "can" have a full liquid cooling loop in it, but then it'll be packed to the edge, 5000D has more room for Reservoirs and tubing routing.Watch N
If you're looking for airflow-focused design with brilliant RGB, this Corsair iCUE 4000D RGB Airflow Mid-Tower PC Case is worth a closer look.Watch R
The 4000D OG holds up since I bought it, a good idea for people who need less airflow aesthetic and more regular PC look. The Regular and Frame has a place for certain people needs, happy to see there is a second option if someone already has the 4000D in mind.Watch R
In this in-depth Corsair Frame 4000D review, we test its cooling performance, build quality, and overall value for money to see if it's the perfect mid-tower case for your next gaming PC build!Watch T
I watched so many frame 4000 vids before picking up the white for my build, yours are so informative and despite having gone over this case so many times, I always pick up something new. Cheers to your content it’s incredibly watchable.Watch S
It's a very interesting case. Lots to say about it. I'm sure we are not going to cover the full extent of this case inside of this like first buildup video, but uh the rest is going to be said in the review which will follow probably next week or the week after that. It's a hell of an interesting case and we got a ton of new components, most of which very very matching.Watch W r/watercooling u/LoopNexus · owner
I have a smaller 4000d frame and I’m able to fit triple 360 and a 240 XR7 with relatively small amounts of custom work 🤷. Edit: I take that back. It was honestly no custom work. Just had to think outside the box.Read thread R
This case focuses on airflow, a clean internal layout, and full support for high-end components, making it a solid foundation for a performance-oriented system.Watch F Facebook PCMag
Corsair's modular Frame PC case platform comes into its own with the Frame 4000D Wood RS, which bundles premium looks, on-point cooling, and serious upgrade flexibility at a surprisingly reasonable price.View post T
If you're tired of cases with cramped cable management and poor airflow, the CORSAIR 4000D RS ARGB Frame Modular Mid-Tower ATX PC Case is truly a game-changer. Its revolutionary FRAME system and InfiniRail fan mounting system combined with three pre-installed CORSAIR RS ARGB fans and other innovative cooling features will give you unparalleled airflow and keep your system running smoothly.Watch P
Still, considering what you get for the money, I actually think the Vault Series is rather reasonably priced. On top of the new colours and upgraded front IO, each case is numbered, which is a neat touch.Read R

The new 4000D MK2 looks amazing I really wish it was released in 2023 cause I just bought the 4000D airflow.Watch T
Good case, easy to use but i would recommend getting better fans since the ones in it are decent as a start.Watch J
I love my 4000D airflow. So easy to remove and clean the front panel. Other cases should learn from it!Watch P

This is so far the most detailed video about this case. I recently got this case, absolutely love it, but I also have a few issues, not game breaking, but you can clearly see not enough thought was put into them. 1. The panel GPU bracket, probably only for the 50 series as my 3060 triple fan GPU does not reach that bracket, even when the panel was shifted closer to the motherboard.Watch T
I've also built in it in several different ways and I want to talk about all these things and show you the weird quirks of the case and what's nice about it and what isn't and how it's really fantastic in a number of ways, especially for the money.Watch S
The older frame4000D I bought had a severely warped top panel right out of the box, so I guess the first thing I need to do is replace it with a new, reinforced panel lol This product has its pros and cons, and is far from perfect, but it has greatly increased my experience. I'm currently considering mounting the AIO cooler on the side.Watch T
Despite being bent this case is great - Corsair Frame 4000D https://youtu.Watch H
Good review and agree with you, the original 4000D was one of there record selling cases, I can see why they are trying to incorporate the 4000+5000 series into one and price point makes sense. If guess a 240mm radiator at the top on the original was limiting for the higher end CPU market and people upgraded to the 5000 series.Watch C
The 4000D is essentially the exact same case minus the front glass and some included fans, which is actually why I think the 4000X is a better deal than the 4000D. While both look awesome, the 4000X just looks a little bit cooler and is definitely my preference.Watch T
I just dont really like the front panel this time and that it has the buttons on the bottom front instead of front top, but its ok i guess, probably just a habbit.Watch F
Now this is a new variation of the 4000D. So don't get mixed between the two. This is uh these are two different cases and the frame 4000D is kind of a refresh to the original 4000D and also um a lot of changes in terms of the design of the case.Watch T
I bought a 4000D RGB Airflow on sale and I returned it because of those extremely noisy fans that drove me nuts even in idle.Watch W
