Case Recommendations for RTX 3070

Corsair 4000D Airflow

The Corsair 4000D airflow PC case has a very unique look with a smoked tempered glass panel for the Corsair 4000D airflow cases that are sporting the black color. The Corsair 4000D airflow has ‘airflow’ which lives up to the promise as Corsair has featured a perforated front panel that allows an ample amount of airflow into the case itself. Along with the front perforated panel, Corsair has left gaps around the panel which further contribute towards better airflow as well as ventilation. The front panel also has a magnetic dust filter as well as the top side which is by the way also perforated to provide better ventilation and keep the dustout, it comes with a magnetic dust filter as well.

The front panel I/O has a USB 3.0 Type-A port alongside a USB 3.1 Type-C port and not to forget, also a 3.5mm audio port for the headset/microphone. Speaking in terms of size, the Corsair 4000D airflow is a mid-tower chassis that can support motherboards of various sizes such as ATX, microATX as well as mini-ATX. In terms of the building experience, it has mostly been positive as the side panel can be removed easily but a little bit of practice is required to remove the glass panel. It is very convenient to fit the motherboard for the most part within the case itself. The top size of the case can probably be used to mount liquid coolers but it is preferable to mount them on the front side and rather mount the fans on the top side due to less space which can block the CPU cooler or might interfere with it.

In terms of storage, the case features 2x internal 3.5-inch bays as well as 2x internal 2.5-inch bays which can be used to mount two hard drives and 2 SSDs. The Corsair 4000D airflow can fit 6 fans of 120mm or 140mm sizes for optimal airflow. It can also accommodate graphic cards up to the size of 360mm which makes it ideal for most Nvidia RTX 3070 graphic cards as they can be accommodated comfortably with ample space left behind. It can support a maximum CPU cooler height of around 170mm and a maximum length of 220mm when it comes to power supplies which are mounted at the bottom, hidden from plain sight behind a compartment towards the back side panel along with the storage bays.
