PANEL INSTALLATION/REMOVAL


WARNING: This product is made with Tempered Glass. Avoid storage on or contact with hard surfaces like ceramic/porcelain tile, stone, masonry, or concrete. CORSAIR recommends removing all tempered glass side panels before placing the case or building on a hard surface. If necessary to place your finished build on a hard surface, it is recommended to elevate or isolate your case from the surface to avoid accidantal contact, potential damage, or injury. Handle glass with care.

Replacement panels are available at corsair.com.

Contact help.corsair.com for any assistance.

INSTALLING HARDWARE


5000T_Install_Hardware_PANEL INSTALLATION-REMOVAL -1

Installing a Motherboard

  • The 5000T supports mITX, mATX, ATX, and E-ATX motherboards, including ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and Gigabyte Project Stealth with reversed power connections.
  • Ensure the I/O plate or shield is installed if required.
  • Align the motherboard with the standoffs and secure it with the provided screws.
    Tip: If standoffs don’t align, move unused ones to the appropriate slots in the tray.

Installing the Front Panel I/O Cables

  • Connect the FPANEL plug directly to your motherboard front panel I/O pins, following the keyed connector.
5000T_Install_Hardware_Install Hardware 02
  • For non-standard Intel or AMD motherboards, use the included adapter to connect from the FPANEL plug to the individual pins.

MAINTENANCE


Cleaning Your Case Filters

  • The 5000T features four removable dust filters. A power supply filter on the bottom, a magnetic filter on the top and side, as well as a plastic/nylon filter on the front.
  • To remove the filter from the front panel, remove the front panel and unscrew the 4x screws holding the filter to the front panel assembly. You may also clean or dust the filter without fully disassembling for more convenience.
5000T_maintance_Install Hardware 01
  • The PSU filter pulls straight back from the PSU.
5000T_maintance_Install Hardware 02
  • The top and side filter are magnetic and can be reached by removing the top or side panels that cover them.

Tip: Filters can be cleaned with pressurized air or water. If you rinse your filter, ensure filters are fully dry before reinstalling.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does the polarity matter with the I/O panel’s power and reset header?
    No, only the LED headers.
  • Who should I contact if I received my case damaged or one of the fans is no longer working?
    Please go to support.corsair.com and request an RMA so that we can replace the damaged part(s).

Connecting the Included Controller to PC

  • Connect the long iCUE LINK cables (P) into the System Hub (M).
S0339_9000D_STARKILLER_QSG_33a_GETTING_TO_KNOW_YOUR_TITAN_RX_LCD

Connect the Power Cable

  • Connect the 6-pin microfit connector (N) into the System Hub (M).
  • Connect the 6-pin PCIe connector (N) into a dedicated PCIe power cable from the power supply.
NOTE: Please note that the power cable (N) and your PSU's 6-pin PCIe cable are keyed to fit one orientation only. Failure to connect the power cable (N) will cause damage to the iCUE LINK System Hub.

SETUP / DEVICE SETUP


Getting Started

4 Device Tile Hover

Upon power on and iCUE launch, you should see the 5000T LX RGB tile if everything is connected correctly and working as intended.

Quick Lighting with iCUE Murals

3 Murals Active

You can tell which devices are included in Murals by the small circular swatch. If this swatch is shown, Murals will override individual product control.

If your priority is getting your lighting set up quickly, by selecting a color palette from iCUE Murals iCUE will ‘paint’ across your devices and synchronize the color between them.

Play around with customizing this for some truly unique profiles including ones using video or photos as color sources.

Lighting Setup

5 Lighting Setup

The 5000T LX RGB should come configured as such out of the box and be pre-wired to work as soon as you connect power and data to the System Hub.

If you need to modify the geometry or set up of your 5000T LX RGB, please select the Lighting Setup tab and either run the Setup Wizard or set your geometry manually using the drop down menus.

Manually Assigning Geometry

6 Lighting Setup Dropdown

Instead of using the wizard, you can use the drop down to the left of the Setup Wizard to accomplish the same thing and set your quantity and length of strips.

Through this menu you will be able to connect legacy and 3rd party devices such as QL fans using their included RGB Hub instead of the Lighting Node or your favorite +5V ARGB devices.

Support for Legacy Devices and Generic 3rd Party Devices will drop at a later date for this adapter. The 3rd Party Device selection will output 204 LEDs worth of instruction so you can leverage the full power of the adapter, but will not be individually addressable via the GUI like the geometry-determined devices.

Lighting Effects

7 Lighting Effects

You can control the RGB for the front center logo and the top USB/Front IO.

The Lighting Effects tab will allow you to control the color, animation, and speed of animation through its various settings.

Lighting Effects (Device Memory Mode)

8 Device Memory Mode Toast

By clicking the slider under 5000T LX RGB for Device Memory Mode, you can define your case’s hardware lighting mode that will display when there is no software/iCUE connection.

9 Device Memory Mode, Saving to Devicer

Any lighting setting made here will reflect in real time but will ONLY be displayed continuously when iCUE is closed or not running. If you would like to control the lighting or other customization when iCUE is in direct software mode, please use the Lighting Settings menu without the Device Memory Mode button checked.

Device Settings

10 Device Settings

When the iCUE LINK RGB Adapter is actively identifying as a 5000T LX RGB, iCUE provides a couple additional settings under the device for troubleshooting and customization.

Firstly, you can change the color of the case in the tile to best match your build. Secondly, it will highlight how many LEDs were detected on the strip so you can ensure the full strip or length of lights for whichever device you have connected is detected.
