The 9000D RGB AIRFLOW case, an update to the wildly successful OBSIDIAN 1000D Super-Tower case, was made available today by CORSAIR. The 9000D, widely regarded as the best case for bespoke water-cooling projects, outperforms its predecessor in all aspects of expansion, cooling, and buildability while also introducing a modernized industrial design look.
The 9000D builds on the successful base of the 1000D to deliver a modern feature set with even more cooling potential and expansion capability. For maximum versatility and performance, it has created a new variable fan mounting solution called InfiniRail that enables you to cool your build using any fan or radiator configuration. The fact that the front panel I/O contains an integrated USB 3.2 hub allows you to fully utilize the USB Type-C and Type-A ports with just one internal USB a PSU connector for power and a Type-E port for data.
NEARLY ENDLESS COOLING OPTIONS
A wide variety of cooling configurations are supported by the cavernous interior, which can hold up to 18x 120mm, 7x 140mm, or 4x 200mm fans. Depending on the radiator thickness and mount location selected, the front and top panels can accommodate up to two 480mm radiators side by side, a 360mm radiator on the case’s side, and a 240mm radiator on the back.
All of these radiators can be placed in a push-pull configuration. Multi-system, multi-GPU builders can choose from an unmatched array of cooling options because to the astounding cooling capacity. Instead of depending on pre-drilled fan mounts, users may easily install fans with the CORSAIR InfiniRail mounting system by sliding the rails to the appropriate fan diameter and positioning them over their hottest components.
A FULLY OPERATIONAL iCUE LINK COMMAND CENTER
Up to 23 more iCUE LINK devices, from fans and coolers to the high-end Hydro X Series custom cooling family of products, can be managed via the bundled iCUE LINK System Hub, which also handles the RGB front I/O. Fans, pumps, AIO coolers, and other devices can be connected to the award-winning iCUE LINK ecosystem, which is extendable, to monitor and control lights, fan speeds, temperatures, and even on-product LCD panels (separately offered).
Expansion Nearly Beyond Reason
In addition to having an astounding amount of room for additional hardware, the 9000D RGB Airflow boasts exceptional cooling capabilities. There are eight PCI Express expansion slots that can support GPUs or other devices up to 400mm long, and the main motherboard tray can hold ATX, mATX, and even server-sized SSI-CEB and SSI-EEB twin processor boards.
An Elgato capture card or other PCI Express device, such as a full-sized dual-slot GPU, can be installed in a second, horizontally oriented Mini-ITX Motherboard tray. The 9000D has a detachable hard drive cage that can accommodate up to six 2.5″ SSDs and five 3.5″ HDDs for storage. The 9000D RGB AIRFLOW has a plethora of cable routing tie-downs, Doubleshot rubber grommets, and a whole cavern of space to tuck wires away for a neat and organized construction. It can also support two power supply at the same time, one SFX or SFX-L size and one ATX up to 225mm in length.
Builder Friendly is an Understatement
With two tool-free swing-out doors, its QuikTurn fan screws that drastically cut down on fan install times, more than enough room to work behind the motherboard tray with over 60mm of clearance, and a variety of included accessories to make every build even simpler, such as cable management ties and a reusable screw box that can be kept in the case itself if desired, the9000D RGB AIRFLOW makes sure that all of this hardware and cooling can be easily installed and accessed by users. All of this is contained in a robust 696 x 698 x 307 mm steel-framed container. In almost every way, the 9000D RGB AIRFLOW is superior to the competitors.
