Thermal behavior
Regarding the comparability to previous case tests, the comparison values are still missing since the test system was changed. The system in question has only been used in the huge Corsair 7000D Airflow with a lush 420mm custom loop (without measurements) and the values of the small Raijintek case (air cooler) are not a real reference either.
However, I think it is realistic that a 360mm AIO will be used in a case like the 5000T and would therefore like to show what temperatures can be expected in this constellation. The measurements were performed at a room temperature of constant 21°C and the following system was used:
CPU Torture
For this test, I ran Cinebench R23 in a continuous loop and logged the temperature. On average, the CPU was around 68°C, peaking at 70.4°C. The case fans were set to a virtually silent 600rpm and the AIO fans were whirring away at a fixed 900rpm for comparison. The pump was running in “silent” mode, which corresponds to the minimum speed of about 2200 rpm. The water had settled down to about 34°C after a few minutes and then the temperatures stayed pretty constant as well:
Gaming
Red Dead Redemption 2 was used for the gaming test. In busy areas like Saint Denis, both the graphics card and CPU have their hands full, resulting in high and constant hardware utilization. Here, too, it is easy to see on the graph that the water temperature leveled off after a few minutes and the CPU temperature then moved into a relatively constant range. Overall, the CPU was easily kept below 50°C over the entire test.
The graphics card doesn’t care in principle in which case it works, the algorithm will always let it boost until it reaches the specified temperature limit. In the case of the RTX 3070 Ti from KFA² in question, it is obviously 70°C, which the card then also maintains very consistently after a few minutes. During the next run, I will additionally log the clock rates, which were constantly above 1900MHz in this test.
In summary, I think it’s safe to say that the test system used certainly didn’t push the case to its capacity limits. At the end of my test runs, I opened the side panel to check for any major heat buildup in the case, which is definitely not the case here. The case is too spacious for this and the three 120 Exhaust fans reliably get the waste heat out of the well-ventilated case.
Potential for water cooling
Overall, the 5000T is not an oversized case, so rather compact custom loops will find room in it. Corsair ideally envisions the following configuration: 360mm radiators in the front and in the lid, as well as a distro plate (AGB / pump combination) in the side panel. With such a loop, you can cool down 500-600W of waste heat in a relaxed and still quite quiet way and is thus also on the safe side for absolute high-end systems. And it can also look damn good, as Corsair has shown here for demo purposes:
