The Americans have “trickled down” the usual extras in the higher category to the 4000D house, but this is not the only interesting thing.
CES is Corsair’s home field, so it was expected that they would bring interesting new products. Let’s open the line with the latest iteration of the 4000D house, the Frame 4000D, which inherited a lot of extras from the much more expensive 9000D.

The essence of the new house is modularity, as it was designed in such a way that countless elements can be replaced. Such is the detachable front panel, which instead of the previous flat design now creates a kind of “cheese grater” effect, but at the stand we could see a design version of it inlaid with wooden elements, as well as a white plastic/plexi combo that shows a unique look thanks to the built-in RGB LEDs sample (it’s a prototype for now and runs as Frame 4000X).

So far, this is just the bling, but luckily there are also useful interesting things inside: the rails holding the fans behind the cover and the front panel can be slid, for example, so they can be adjusted for 120, 140 and 160, and even 200 mm fans on the front.

In any case, there is plenty of space, both positions can accommodate up to 360 mm radiators. The cover of the chamber containing the power supply unit can be replaced, and the element holding the expansion cards can be moved to a vertical or horizontal position with one movement.

This is not a very extra solution, but what is more unusual is that the motherboard tray is not only removable, but Corsair also wants to sell several versions of it: in addition to the standard solution, there is one made of Plexiglas, offering RGB lighting on the side, a thicker one, carved from aluminum, but made compatible with magnetically mounted controllers with steel inserts, and a version with many more holes than average was also exhibited. The latter also comes with a set of clips, which allows for a more cultured design of the rear cable management. It is true for all trays that they are also compatible with rear connector motherboards. The Frame 4000D will be available soon, with a suggested starting price of $95 here.

In addition to the 4000D, the other main novelty is the $249 Xeneon Edge display, which is a very wide aspect ratio, 2560×720 pixel, 14.5” screen with a touch-sensitive surface, Type-C and HDMI input. A magnetic base can be snapped on the back, so it can be set up under the monitor, but it can also be integrated into the Frame 4000D with the appropriate side panel, or it can be placed on any housing of your choice if you do a bit of DIY. By the way, this is also helped by the fact that the kit will also include a USB cable that can be used to connect directly to the motherboard USB 3.2 interface, so we don’t even have to route the cabling outside the machine housing.

It will be possible to display widgets with various data from the iCUE system on the display itself (from a calendar to a graph showing CPU usage), but since Windows sees it as a second monitor anyway, it can of course be used on anything else, so you can use the news feed, weather, or DaVinci Resolve’s toolbox even if
(+)
Moving on to memories, a small external SSD called EX400U arrives with a USB4 interface and through it a maximum read speed of 4000 MB/s and a maximum write speed of 3600 MB/s, as well as a couple of CUDIMM modules.
(+)
In addition to these, the main novelty is the entry of Vengeance RGB DDR5 into the Custom Lab service, which enables the creation of unique memory modules. We can choose capacity, speed, delays, and several designs and colors for cooling.
(+)
The other fresh extra is the new Wave Kit, which can be installed on the Dominator Titanium modules, which replaces the default, smoother diffuser with a solution with a wavy upper part, resplendent in RGB lights.
(+)
Finally, we would like to mention the further development of the RMx and HXi power supply families, which actually only affects the cable set: in the new version, it offers 12VHPWR sockets natively, and on the other hand, the ends of these have been colored gray so that the user can immediately notice if the socket is not pressed into place enough.
