Corsair 4000D vs Corsair 5000D, which one?

[Ub4thaan]

Heyo boys and girls, pc passionate in generals.

Am planning to use the amazon prime days to get a new case and update my old aerocool x-warrior.
The choices are on the corsair 4000D Airflow (~83 €) or the corsair 5000D Airflow (~126 €) which one would you reccomend? And why?
Not planning on watercooling anytime soon not even AiOs

Current components:

• Asus Strix B550 (can't remember the letter bat it's an ATX-model)
• Amd rayzen 9 5900X
• Noctua NH-U12S
• Asus DCU2 GTX770, needs to be upgraded, tho I'm thinking about RTX 3070 Ti/4070 yet to decide so I kinda want it to be future proof

 

Bonus qustion for who wants

Corsair SP or QL fans? Would love to be able to attach them directly to the motherboard even the RGB without having to use a lightnode or a commander as it implies to add another piece of software (or can I use them through asus Aura?)

4000d airflow since the 5000d is just a bigger case normally used for custom looping

 

Also screw corsair fans if theyre not ql/ll since the others dont provide any unique features, though arctic p12/p120 (0db) argb are preffered due to their far superior performance (similar to noctua)

Depends on your preference and if you're willing to spend more for a bigger case. As Somerandomtechyboi said, the 5000D is just larger. It also has an extra USB port at the top but I doubt that justifies spending more on it.
 

As for the Corsair fans, their RGB can't be controlled via the motherboard since they don't have a standard 5v 3-pin connector. They need to connect to their RGB hub which is controlled via iCUE. My experience with it is that one of its processes has about 0.5-1% CPU usage while the system is idle and I think that's the process responsible for gathering and displaying sensor readings in the dashboard.

Ok, so at the end 4000D it is, as the 30 euro more are not that much worth it for it being just bigger.
For the fans I yet have to see, took a look at artics but I kinda don't like them think at this point imma go for the ql since they are on discount

Getting the same case in 2 wks.got two hubs 6 fans all argb.LL 120 fans are useless as tits on a bull...low cfm, so went with thermaltake higher cfm for my 360 rad.but they are 240;s not 120's.

Took a look at thermal take, and cfm whise they are all similar at that point I'm good trading some cfm to get 6 fans instead of spending more for less fans and little more cfm, since with 6 fans I can do the whole case

got these 140mm, waste of time and money.rgb is great. cfm is great, but t he dopey bastards have a lame molex plug for the controller. 4 wired. so could not just cut n paste sata on it.. not to mention 30cm of cable for rgb to the controller. and even longer for the fan power..they seriously need to go lain lee fan wise, as they have slide n click.. that is the future of multi fans.. mind you they are crap rgb and crm sucks donkey dicks. but they look pretty and not much else...be quiet pure base 500dx running 3 LL fans on the front and one on the back...

I ended up with the be quiet Pure Base 500DX RGB White Mid Tower
Case best thing i ever did...any case with glass front will restrict airflow.

The 4000D airflow doesn't have a glass front. The 4000D does.

4000D airflow - mesh-ish front panel

4000D - solid front panel with some opening at the front sides

4000X rgb - glass front

All cases that have a glass front panel, have restricted air flow. because of the small side vents they have. i had the matrexx 50 and i tell ya running a 3060 with a 10850 was getting really hot. when i never had V sync on, the gpu was working overtime to keep up the frame rates. hence lots of heat. to enabled that and caped the fps to 200 on one game.., so anyway it was Thermal throttling, took the front off. good as gold, not a problem, put it back, up she went again.....thought it was the 360 rad, so got the 500d be quite case in white, as im sick to death of black cases, you would think case makers would come out with different colours aye..after all they just powder coated..never looked back...awesome case...massive air flow front back n sides... and it looks daamn fine in white and rgb... that's what she looks like...
