Looks like a solid SFF plan, especially with the compact 304mm RTX 5080; should fit nicely in the 5000D AIRFLOW with some careful cable management.
Good call on the 304mm RTX 5080; it should slide into the 5000D AIRFLOW with a bit of tweaking. The cooler also looks like a smart pick for this compact setup.
I'm curious about the choice of the ARCTIC Freezer 8i CO cooler for this SFF build—how do you plan to manage its size and clearance in such a compact case?
The ARCTIC Freezer 8i CO should work in the 5000D AIRFLOW, but you’ll want to double-check the clearance specs to make sure it fits comfortably with the GPU and other components.
Great choice with the 304mm RTX 5080 for this SFF build; it should fit in the 5000D AIRFLOW with some careful planning. The ARCTIC cooler is also a solid pick for this compact setup.
The ARCTIC Freezer 8i CO should fit, but you’ll need to confirm the exact clearance with the GPU and case to avoid any tight spots.
How do you plan to manage cable routing in the Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW to keep the SFF layout tidy, especially with the longer PSU and GPU?
