The video highlights Corsair’s upcoming innovative cases and components, including the airflow-focused Air5400 chassis, the upgraded i600 GPU cooler, and enhanced cable management features, all emphasizing modularity and customization. It also showcases Corsair’s exploration into 3D printing for personalized accessories and their broader lineup of cases, reflecting a strong focus on cooling performance, aesthetic flexibility, and user engagement.
The video provides an in-depth look at several upcoming Corsair cases and components, highlighting their focus on airflow, innovative design, and modularity. The main case discussed is the Air5400, a highly airflow-targeted chassis featuring a large front-mounted radiator and a distinctive hole in the glass panel to direct air straight out of the case. This design aims to improve cooling efficiency by focusing airflow directly onto the GPU, with additional ducts and mounting options for fans at the top. Corsair plans to price this case around $220, depending on tariffs, and emphasizes its compatibility with all 120mm fans for streamlined airflow management.
The presenter also examines Corsair’s new GPU, the i600, which is an improved version of the previous i500. Significant upgrades include larger radiators, better accommodation for the GPU’s power components, and a redesigned block that better cools the VRM and memory. The i600 features copper fin stacks connected to a shared base plate that cools multiple components simultaneously, which offers both advantages and disadvantages in terms of heat dissipation. Corsair has also moved the CPU cooler tanks to the sides of the case and upgraded to 25mm thick fans for increased pressure and performance, promising promising results in upcoming reviews.
Further, the video explores Corsair’s modifications to the Frame 4000D, including new cable management features such as a partnership with Singularity for a power board that consolidates power cables and offers potential for expanded control and monitoring. The case now features a laminated, safety-oriented acrylic side panel and an improved front panel with die-cut edges. Corsair is also experimenting with a power supply design featuring an acrylic wall instead of steel, which raises concerns about EMI shielding and static electricity but offers a sleek aesthetic for cases with visible power supplies.
A notable highlight is Corsair’s push into 3D printing and customization, with employees creating printable panels and ducts that can be downloaded and printed for personal modifications. One example is a 3D-printed shroud designed to improve airflow and component cooling, which can be mounted using a pegboard system. These initiatives reflect Corsair’s broader strategy of expanding case customization, modularity, and user engagement, with plans to develop more accessories and components that enhance the aesthetic and functional flexibility of their cases.
The video concludes with a look at other Corsair cases, such as the larger 5000D and 5000D Airflow, which feature larger screens and expanded size options, although their pricing remains uncertain due to tariffs. Additionally, an open-frame concept case is shown, emphasizing Corsair’s interest in modular and experimental designs. The presenter notes that their immediate review focus will be on the i600 and the 5400, promising more detailed coverage once these products are available. Overall, Corsair is pushing forward with innovative cooling, modularity, and customization options aimed at enthusiasts and builders.
