It’s shipping weight that Corsair list on the website for some reason I am not sure why manufactures do this with PC cases.. Corsair 1000= 29.5kg empty or 65lbs empty.

The 011 XL is a beast as well though, they are like 44 pounds empty. Should be very Rigid and well made. I don’t know what 011 my son has. I think it is a 011 Evo not the XL but smaller one. It has glass and mesh panel kit. I’m thinking about putting my case on the floor and incorporating some wheels or some platform for it to sit on that rolls around.

I investigated the 9000D pretty heavily because I wanted one. I ultimately didn’t get one because it’s super expensive and built very cheap for its cost. It has the rattles, it has flex, lots of plastic in places, lots of thin metal everywhere . If you’re okay with that then you will like it. My case empty is twice the weight of a 9000D empty. That alone explains it all. Corsair is making a killing on these cases. Even the 1000D is double weight of a 9000D. So I think Corsair learned a lot with the 9000D and then heavily modified the budget to make it. 9000D=34 pounds 1000D=65 pounds V3000+= 68 pounds

Hard to find a case to be happy with that’s for sure for me anyways. It’s been 6 months already! I’m picky and like to change things too often, and I haven’t wanted to go back to a test bench or any other options and I’m surprised by that. I’ve learned a little since going back to a case. Mainly that I never really loved white cases and white accessories at all. The biggest advantage is because it completely hides dust. The fans, case, and radiators, and PSU always look clean and new. This way you’re not wanting to tear your system apart for a deep clean every year. 😆

The case is slightly Wider than my son’s Lian Li 011 Dynamic, so space behind the motherboard tray is enough to fit a 2 slot GPU flat behind the MB tray, more than enough space, since this case is dual system capable I saw someone do this. But mainly since the case has a basement that can fit everything like two 480’s or a single 480mm with no limits on thickness, PSU’s, Pumps, or even a ITX build in the basement. It’s not setup like 011 cases which place the PSU behind the motherboard tray, your PSU would go in the basement. So most of the useable depth is going to be in the main compartment, or in the basement. But I haven’t had any issues behind the motherboard tray my self. As far as depth goes or long ways of the case. It’s a long case. It’s as long as it is tall. It’s over 26” tall and 26” long. The biggest issue is weight concerns. My PC is so heavy you just can’t move it around. But fortunately since it has these suicide doors and because it’s so long it makes working on it easier. The motherboard is 14.0x14.0 larger than practically any motherboard we can buy today for any mainstream sockets so it does make the case look smaller than it is in pictures merely because this motherboard makes something like a Asus Extreme or Godlike look like a baby board. I think It looks abnormally long as well because some photos I’m not showing the bottom chamber which demonstrates how long it really is. Kinda like the photo below. You can choo choo train some 5090’s and still have room lol. 😂

Guys I was doing some testing after rearranging fans in my Lian Li V3000+ Plus, and with the door closed under a 1200w load my internal case temp is 27c with water temp of 31.3C, if I take the side door off the internal case temp drops to only 26c. I thought this was ridiculously impressive. I have never seen a case run this cool inside with this type of power being dumped. I’ve never been a guy to run my doors on my cases, even my son’s PC has no door on it in his Lian Li 011 packed with fans. But in this case for the past 6 months I’ve kept it sealed up. I don’t know why it runs so cool in there all closed up. Either the design? Or maybe just the internal volume?

The person who used that wireview pro, and the wire view pro actually caused the cable imbalance with amperage and a single wire of his 12vhpwr cables was running like 90c+ if he would have left it, it would have melted that single wire. He stopped using it and everything was good after that apparently. It is essentially adding in extra connections that are completely unnecessary though, and it reduces the connection quality. I know that the 12vhpwr is picky and sensitive I think. Me personally I run a straight cable. I can cook my card with all the power I want. Cable runs like 35-43c range. It is completely reliable. Unfortunately I cannot use a wire view pro anyways due to how my 5090 FE plug is angled. But I don’t need one. After 6 months daily abuse, heck I trust the thing now lol.

Yeah the 4090’s just don’t pull power like that though. They are 450w stock, and rarely pull 600w. I know Motivman and Yzonker and another person used wire view pro with shunted 5090 and their cables would burn them if they touched it. They stopped using wire view because of this. I would be extremely careful.

I’m glad it’s working well! Also I wanted to tell you I would not use a wire view pro. I know they are nice and very useful. But that’s primarily for a stock 5090 pulling no more than a sustained 600 watts. I’ve seen some issues of cables so hot using the wire view pro on shunted 5090’s, that melting is imminent. I would run just a straight cable to your 5090. Return the wire view pro. I’m totally blind on my cable. I had a sensor on it, but I trust it now. It’s been great and that’s inside a closed case, so I let the sensor monitor my case temp instead.

This is my first EKWB plexi block. I’ve used had acetal ek blocks before. Unless ek made the 3090kp block. That thing was a tank! Anyways, you need some 2512 sized resistors they are 0.25x0.12 dimensions and make sure it’s miliohm /or mohm and not just ohm. You probably want 2mohm if you are after 1200 watts, if you go 1Mohm it’ll be 1800watts. You’ll need two of them.

Man! You have a 7995wx? That is insane! Knowing me, if I had this CPU I’d use it for gaming lol. 😂 Well, work and gaming. That thing is a MONSTER! I wouldn’t mind having a 7980x my self. They are so strong! Or maybe even just the 9960x threadripper would be good as well. Funny how new AMD chips sound like old Intel chip model names lol. Anyways I saw your 118K R23 score, that’s really impressive. Nice waterblock! Their new core series really are the best looking. Their previous models looked kinda budget oriented. My EKWB 5090 FE block has cracked to pieces in me lol. 😂 it’s not leaking so that’s good. But I’m not happy about it. I’m waiting on EK to send me a replacement. I hate that I even have to tear this thing down again. Hope you’re shunting and blocking in one swing!

I know lol. Can’t run a 5090 on air 💀! Anyways, your clocks are low before 3160ish under load due to power limits for certain, not temp limits just yet. Most 5090’s should hold 3300 at 45c temps maybe even more, maybe a tiny bit less. Voltage is all over the place on these cards but so far high/low it doesn’t even matter, I think cooling and tuning skill is critical for max benches with 5090. I have seen a few 1.100v+ 5090FE’s which can beat my lower voltage 5090FE, but they are on 8c water or something crazy like that. Which would make sense. The voltage really didn’t provide anything meaningful, it’s just based on how the card actually performs overall. And block+shunt is the only way to know.

@electrosoft I’m thinking about selling my laptop. How much do you think it’s worth, or what should I maybe start at? Predator 18 14900HX/4090/32GB DDR5 5600/ 250Hz Mini led/ 1TB M.2. Thanks.

That better not be a Janky yellow dongle I see😂. Be very careful!

Sounds great! Watch out for lions! 🦁 😆 You know, I downloaded the first Ashes of Singularity just for the benchmark on my Xeon 3175x because I had ran it on my 10900K/11900K/13900/14900/7980xe systems. And then I started playing the game. It’s kinda fun if you give it a chance. But it is dated looking now, I made it through a few levels and just stopped because it became too difficult to continue lol. But it’s pretty fun either way! I’ll try the 2nd one for sure. I love the original benchmark on the first one. I want to love RTS games but hard for me to fully invest in them. Also, BF6 Beta is live again tomorrow. If you decide to play. 🥳
