Corsair 5000d airflow fan sizes?

[bruucee]

Really confused about the fan sizes of this case. I assumed you could put 120 mm fans all around. BBut I can't fit 120mm fans in the top or bottom of the front bracket. Only one fan of the 120 mm size fits in the front. And that is only in the middle of the case.

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but you definitely should be able to fit (3) 120s in the front. The only thing I can think of is you are maybe putting the fans towards the inside of the case rather than on the front panel side ans are running into some clearance issues. I have a photo of my pc in the "art work" section of my profile, it's a 7000D with (4) 120s but maybe it will help you see where your issue is.

From Corsair's site, the front top and bottom are 140mm. Middle is 120mm.

edit:: NVM, the picture shows 3x120mm in front

It must depend on the mfr of the fans. The stock 120 mm fan will not fit on the top or bottom of the bracket in the front of the case. It only fits in the middle.

It should do as shown here in this video at 4:10 minute mark: https://youtu.be/HBlzHWBd2vI?t=254
Double check the other fans are actually 120mm cause it takes only 2 x 140mm or 3 x 120mm fans on the front with the airflow edition.
With 120mm fans you get 3 on the front, 3 side, 3 top and 1 rear for a total 10 fans but
with 140mm fans it only takes 2 on the front and 2 top only.

10x 120mm or 4x 140mm cooling fans

U can have 3 120mm infront /1 back and over cpu you can use, but you onlu need 1-2 over cpu , i use 92mm front fans intake becuse ofen cheaper and higher rpm + quallity of air , and 1 back 92mm to force the heat out, look on your case and u see , i could fit so why cant u?
