I really like this guy's videos. No fluff. Just gets right to it and does an excellent job of showing what should be done and why. The production quality of his videos is also very good.

[Double_D_Creates_See]

This it the first video in about 20 I've watched you ACTUALLY filmed connecting the fan hub/controller into the sata + motherboard pin slots and showed location on board. All the other videos show the pin areas and talk about 5v vs 12v but never bother to film actually plugged in everything to mobo (in case on top of that). Thanks for going over the top to bottom, I was helping a friend build their first PC and building a new one myself post boxing day sales and this REALLY showed him the mapping of the mobo and how to lane cabling/find pin slots on board.

I know its an older video, but very relevant information, high five and good vibes. Have a great 2024.

This is hands down the best PC build video I've seen. straightforward, and very specific about every detail. I've seen to many videos that they skip over showing off the actual case and just yadda yadda their way through it without showing off the entire build till its finished. I think PC case companies should pay you for showcases like these. this is perfect and id love to see more.

I typically enjoy watching pc builds videos in my spare time. From your video, I learned that my ram had been running at a slower speed for the entire time I've had my build. I never went and changed any of the ram settings in the bios. Thank you for literally helping me realize just how dumb I have been.

Finished swapping my PC into this new case, I've upgraded parts and taken my PC apart before, partially. However I've never done a full tear down for a new case, I was extremely nervous and excited. I watched this video everyday for a week before my case came in and without it, I don't think I would have been confident enough on my own. Fantastic video! Thank you so much!

[stevebates]

As I have just bought a Corsair 5000D case, i looked at it and thought this could be quite a tricky build. I found your video Chris and whilst i am using different components and keeping with the fans supplied, your video was brilliant. It gave clear and precise instructions, and the installation instructions of Windows were just the icing on the cake. Well Done and thank you for taking the time to make this most welcome video.

[Wacke]

Came to this video because I just got both the 5000D and the Lian Li case fans, this video literally carried me through my PC rebuild, thank you so much!

[varunensreekantha]

my first time building a pc on my own and this is BY FAR the best video i have found.

[Crystalcliffcavern]

Getting ready to do my first PC build, have ordered all the parts and was just trying do decide on case and think i will go with Corsair 5000d airflow, the video was excellent. It really has settled my nerves and given me the confidence that I can build the PC thanks to your step by step guide. Thank you.

[Tyghurr]

Just built my new PC with the same case and out of the hundreds of guided ive watched your video was by far the most helpful. Very detailed guide and goes step by step, thank you so much!

[fonmunoz]

Hey Christopher, just wanted to thank you for being my wingman last night. I just did my first complete built with this very same box. I haven´t reached the part of RGB configuration and BIOS update but the PC is up and running. It was good to have your support. Very much appreciated :)

[shy_ba]

just bought that case three days ago, i'm so glad I found your channel for the other vids already, but this one is going to be the one I follow for my first build, TYSM for your HUGE help and clear instructions, <3

[andrewcasey]

I feel so lucky to have found this amazing channel. I'm just about to purchase this case and build my first PC.

[virtual-walker]

Wonderful video! I will certainly follow this on Thursday for my build using the same case. From what I can see, this case can use a push/pull arrangement on the top-mounted radiator - which means a total of 13 fans can be fitted. The top of the case has a recess capable of the extra 3 fans. Many thanks for your detailed explanation.

[RichardTurlington]

No stupid music in the back, well articulated, and the cadence of your speaking is perfect. Very easy to follow. The only flaw I found in this video is that you did not specify at all the fan direction when installing both the AIO cooler and the Lian Li fans. The liquid cooler should draw air from inside and blow up and outward from the case. Which direction you put the fans (flipping over) determines which way air is drawn in or pushed out. This is very important and should have been covered.
Great video though! I bought this case and you helped me figure out what the heck that SATA cable is that goes to the fan hub on the back of the motherboard mount. I also removed the internal hard drive mounts. Space was too tight for manipulating the power supply cables.

[photophrenic]

Great video although one issue I would raise is that the video is about using building in the 5000D and yet you have skipped the entire built in fan hub and used a third party piece of equipment instead.

[Squishmallows]

The 4000/5000D cases have to be some of the best ones out there. Good Airflow and without all the obnoxious alien looking cases. Very simple look. I feel like buying an extra one just to keep in handy when I build my next pc 😂

[jackbailey]

A great case choice. Built one earlier in the year and I just love love love that case.

[HarryAyA]

You make everything so straightforward. The things that would go right over my head are broken down so well.

[Rumprullarn]

Thank you so much. Just finished my first build in this case with your amazing help :)
