The CORSAIR iCUE 4000X RGB is an outstanding mid-tower case that excels in both aesthetics and functionality. The design is sleek and modern, with tempered glass panels that showcase your build beautifully. The RGB lighting is one of the major highlights—vibrant, customizable, and controlled effortlessly through the iCUE software. The RGB controller included with the case makes it easy to sync the lighting across all components, and the user-friendly software allows for complete customization, giving your rig a stunning visual presence.From a building perspective, cable management in the 4000X is top-notch. Corsair's thoughtful design provides ample room to route and hide cables behind the motherboard tray, keeping everything clean and organized. The RapidRoute cable management system makes it easy to build a clutter-free PC, even for less experienced builders.Mounting an AIO cooler is seamless in this case, with enough clearance for a variety of radiators and fans. The 4000X offers excellent flexibility for cooling setups, allowing you to mount radiators up to 360mm in the front or top, giving you plenty of cooling power for high-performance builds. The airflow is well-optimized despite the tempered glass front, thanks to well-placed ventilation along the sides.In terms of overall cooling capabilities, the 4000X performs remarkably well, especially when paired with an AIO cooler and a good fan setup. The case comes pre-installed with three Corsair SP RGB Elite fans, which not only add to the aesthetics but also provide solid airflow out of the box.In summary, the Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB stands out for its stunning looks, excellent cable management, easy AIO mounting, and robust cooling performance. The iCUE RGB controller and software make it a joy to use, turning your setup into a true showpiece with minimal effort.

Cons first: I/O only has 1 USB3.1(A-type) and 1 USB3.1(C-type)(picture included). No fan splitter, the rgb board is only for rbg, not power obv. No rear fan included.Pros/Review: Stunning case. The white color is very clean, the glass is super clear, the rgb is beautiful. Fans are quiet and the airflow/cooling is satisfactory, although nothing runs hot in my build anyway. This is the most beautiful case I've seen in person and I absolutely love it...My case budget was around $80, which is what I had left over after picking out some ssd storage upgrades for my pc. I didn't really need a case and this was way over budget for me($120), but I just had to have it. So much so, that I decided I'd rather not buy the SSD, just so I could afford this instead if at all. I wasn't excited when it arrived, I've been burned before, but after a thorough inspection I found only a small scratch on the inside and some grime(oil?) on the outside which I cleaned easily. I've built several PCs before for friends and family, all in NZXT, which is a brand I have no complaints against. When I saw this online, I could see it was built just a little different. I would say the quality in this feels a little more solid and even the paint seems to have a nicer texture to it. The magnetic cover/filter on top is real nice and the front glass is very firm, even a little scary to pop off. No included rear fan is a small downside with this case(costs). I have spares, but nothing nice enough for the RGB 4000x so I picked up one SP120 RGB pro fan from corsair, which I believe is the same as the front fans. Plugs nicely into the rgb board and zero issues programming the rgb with iCUE. The mobo wire cover-bar is a mixed bag, but I like it overall. It's a bit tight and shallow, and real close to the board. I like it, but it can be difficult to get cords into it, especially if the sockets on the mobo are real close to the edge as typical motherboards do. My SATA sockets are on the bottom of my board so getting those into the PSU shroud puts the sata cables at a real sharp kink to fit in and hide. I found enough space in the back to hide the many cords there, but it is tight as other reviewers noted or complained about. I found it ideal though because it lets the case feel really roomy in all other aspects and I have a shitload of cords back there, especially with 2 SSDs, 2HDDs, and a fan splitter/hub. IMPORTANT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a fan splitter depending on how many fan pwr sockets your mobo has. Mine only has 4 including cpu, so I picked up the ARCTIC fan hub, 10-slot, on amazon for 10 bucks. It's thin and small enough to fit anywhere back there, although not a lot of space with maxx 2ssds and 2hdds, which is another grip i suppose. If you do get the same fan hub I did, I recommend not using the magnetic strips or sticker strips unless you are sure about the placement behind the mobo. As I mentioned, I have a shitload of wires back there, so I let the hub free-float back there since I think I'll be moving it around if I add more fans. ALSO IMPORTANT, this case may cost $120, but realistically it's going to cost you more. You're going to want to have a matching rear fan at the very least, and a fan splitter/hub. Despite added costs, I love this case and I am extremely happy with it. Very happy with this purchase and could not recommend it more. Thank you Corsair and Thank you Amazon.

Corsair’s 4000X is an amazing case. The setup was just so easy as many cables were already set into place with cable ties and straps. Another plus is the 3 SP120 Elite RGB Fans and ICUE Lightning Node Core included with the case. If the fans and controller had to be bought separate it would have cost around 80 dollars for it, so the price for the case and everything else is pretty good at value. I do wish it came with 4 fans but still a great case, I just slapped on a exhaust fan from my old case. The case’s quality overall is amazing, especially the side and front tempered glass which is tinted. The noise level is low when you have the fans controlled with a PWM fan hub or plugged into a 4 or 3 pin fan header on your motherboard. The airflow can be questionable because of the front glass panel but, from my experience the way they placed the front glass allows air to come through the gaps on the side which is large enough for the front fans to bring in a sufficient amount of air. My temps are definitely just fine and the front 3 fans bring in enough air to cool my components. If you are worried about the front panel not bringing in enough air, you could buy the front panel of the 4000D airflow on the Corsair website or from a reseller and replace the 4000X’s glass front panel.ConclusionCase is great, great value, great looks, great pre cable management, great airflow, and easy setup(I bought the case on sale for around $130USD I think it would still be worth it for it’s original price which is around $145 USDPRICES MENTIONED ARE BEFORE TAXES)
