The Corsair AIR 5400 LX-R RGB iCUE LINK is a white mid-tower PC case for builders putting together a gaming or performance-focused desktop. Its support for several motherboard sizes and reverse-connector boards makes it suitable for both conventional builds and systems designed to keep visible cabling to a minimum.

Three separate chambers divide the CPU, motherboard and graphics card, and power supply, cables and storage. Airflow ducts direct cool air through the main chamber, while three pre-installed reverse-rotor LX-R RGB fans provide intake from below without obstructing the view through the curved glass panels. The included iCUE LINK System Hub connects the fans and supports additional iCUE LINK devices.

Key features

• Triple-chamber layout separates heat-producing components and helps simplify the build.
• Dual airflow ducts channel air through the graphics card and main chamber.
• Three pre-installed 120 mm reverse-rotor iCUE LINK LX-R RGB fans provide bottom intake.
• Two curved tempered-glass panels open on hinges for access to the system.
• Supports reverse-connector motherboards from ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE for cleaner cable routing.
• RapidRoute 2.0 cable management uses a pegboard motherboard tray for flexible tie placement.
• Fan mounting positions accommodate up to seven additional 120 mm fans.
• Front I/O includes USB Type-C ports and a combined headphone and microphone jack.

Compatibility

The case supports Mini-ITX, MicroATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards up to 305 × 277 mm, ATX power supplies up to 200 mm long, and CPU coolers up to 180 mm high.
