Corsair Frame 5000D Wood RS is a full‑tower PC case that adds a solid wood front panel, two 200 mm intake fans, a full‑length tempered glass side panel, a more compact PSU shroud, and updated front I/O with three USB‑C ports. The case supports Mini‑ITX, Micro‑ATX, ATX and E‑ATX motherboards and accommodates GPUs up to 425 mm and coolers up to 175 mm in height. Specification lists steel, glass and wood materials and eight horizontal plus three vertical expansion slots. The review tests thermal performance using Cinebench R23 and 3DMark Speed Way, measuring CPU temperature at 55 °C above ambient and GPU at 52 °C in the default configuration with two 200 mm front intakes and a 140 mm rear exhaust with all panels installed. Adding or removing side or floor fans produced only minor temperature changes, and removing the tempered glass panel reduced CPU temperature by less than one degree. Noise measurements showed minimal variation; the case fans operated at low RPM and contributed little sound, with most noise coming from the CPU cooler and GPU fans. Installation was reported to be more difficult than expected, with the motherboard backplate complicating alignment and the PCIe slot limiting graphics card placement, especially with large M.2 heatsinks. The case is priced at £159.95 and is available from Scan. Advantages include strong airflow, quiet operation and ample internal space. Disadvantages include challenges installing the motherboard and limited clearance for large graphics cards. The review states the design offers a distinctive aesthetic while maintaining airflow efficiency.
