CORSAIR has unveiled the iCUE LINK 9000D RGB AIRFLOW, a significant upgrade to its flagship OBSIDIAN 1000D Super-Tower PC case. First teased at Computex 2024, this behemoth of a case, designed for extreme custom water-cooled builds, offers substantial improvements over its predecessor in expandability, cooling, user-friendliness, and aesthetics.

This introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the 9000D’s features and benefits, emphasizing its impressive capabilities for high-end PC builds.

Unrivaled Cooling and Expansion

The iCUE LINK 9000D boasts an incredibly spacious interior, accommodating a wide range of cooling configurations. It supports up to 18 x 120mm, 7 x 140mm, or 4 x 200mm fans. The top and upper front panels can house two 480mm radiators side-by-side, while the side supports a 360mm radiator and the rear a 240mm radiator, all with potential for push-pull configurations depending on radiator thickness and placement.

This expansive cooling capacity provides builders with unparalleled flexibility in choosing their preferred cooling solutions, especially for multi-system and multi-GPU setups. CORSAIR’s proprietary InfiniRail™ fan mounting system simplifies fan installation, allowing users to slide the mounts into position for optimal airflow over critical components.

iCUE LINK Integration and Dual-System Support

The included iCUE LINK System Hub manages the front I/O RGB lighting and can support up to 23 additional iCUE LINK devices, ranging from fans and AIO coolers to CORSAIR’s Hydro X Series custom water-cooling components. Beyond cooling, the 9000D supports dual motherboard configurations. The main tray accommodates ATX, mATX, and even server-grade SSI-CEB and SSI-EEB motherboards, along with eight expansion slots for GPUs or other PCIe devices up to 400mm long. A secondary Mini-ITX motherboard tray can be mounted horizontally, supporting a full-size GPU or dual-slot PCIe device like an Elgato capture card.

Storage, Power, and User-Friendly Design

Storage options are plentiful, with support for six 2.5″ SSDs and five 3.5″ HDDs in a removable cage. The 9000D can house two PSUs simultaneously – one ATX up to 225mm and one SFX or SFX-L – with ample cable routing options, doubleshot rubber grommets, and dedicated space for clean cable management.

Tool-free access panels on both sides simplify hardware installation and maintenance. CORSAIR’s QuikTurn™ screws further expedite fan installation, while the generous 60mm of space behind the motherboard tray allows for comfortable cable routing. Included accessories like zip ties and a reusable screw box enhance the building experience.

A Super-Tower for the Demanding Builder

With its massive 696 x 698 x 307mm dimensions and robust steel construction, the 9000D RGB AIRFLOW represents the pinnacle of high-quality PC cases. “The 9000D builds on the legacy of the 1000D, incorporating modern features with even greater cooling potential and expandability,” said Mitch Podlaha, Head of PC Case Product Marketing at CORSAIR. One standout feature is the front I/O panel’s integrated USB 3.2 hub, simplifying connectivity with a single USB Type-E cable to the motherboard and a PSU power connection.

Availability and Warranty

The CORSAIR iCUE LINK 9000D RGB AIRFLOW Super-Tower is available for purchase through CORSAIR’s webstore and authorized retailers worldwide. It is backed by a two-year warranty and CORSAIR’s global customer support and technical assistance network.

The 9000D sets a new standard for high-end PC cases, offering unmatched cooling, expandability, and user-friendly features for the most demanding builds. Its innovative design and robust construction make it a compelling choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
