CORSAIR's InfiniRail™ is an innovative fan and radiator mounting system designed to offer exceptional flexibility and ease of use in PC case builds. Unlike traditional cases with fixed mounting points, InfiniRail™ utilizes adjustable steel rails that allow users to slide and position fans and radiators precisely where needed.

The FRAME 5000D features two of these InfiniRail™ systems; one on the top and one on the front.

• Loosen the set screws on the front and/or top rails to allow for fan installation adjustments.

• Adjust the the front and/or top rails for your fans according to the markings on the case.

• The top panel supports 120mm or 140mm fans.
• The front panel supports 120mm, 120mm offset, 140mm, or 200mm fans.

Installing 120mm or 140mm Fans

To install 120mm or 140mm fans using the front InfiniRail™ Fan Mounting System, you need to install the InfiniRail™ Fan Mounts (3). Use four mounts per fan, two on each side of the rails.

• Clip the InfiniRail™ Fan Mounts (3) onto the rails by anchoring the inner edge of each mount first, then snapping the outer edge into place.
• Slide the mounts along the rails to align them with your fan mounting points.

• Align your fans to the mounting tabs on the InfiniRail™ Fan Mounts (3) and secure them by screwing QuikTurn Fan Screws (6) into the fan frame.

• Once aligned, you can lock the setup in place with the InfiniRail™ Fan Mount Lock Screws (12).

Installing 200mm Fans

• Align your fans to the InfiniRail™ fan mounting slots and secure them by screwing QuikTurn Fan Screws (6) into the fan frame.

• Align your fans to the InfiniRail™ fan mounting slots and and secure them by screwing QuikTurn Fan Screws (6) into the fan frame.

To install fans on the side, ensure you have the Side Fan Mounting Bracket (1) installed.

• Align your fans to the fan mounting slots, and and secure them by screwing QuikTurn Fan Screws (6) into the fan frame.

• Align your fans to the fan mounting holes on the PSU Shroud (E)
• Secure the fans with Long Fan Screws (7).

• Remove the Combination Drive Plate (H) on the bottom of your case.

• Align your fans to the fan mounting holes.
• Secure the fans with Long Fan Screws (7).

• Align your fan to the fan mounting holes.
• Secure the fan by screwing in QuikTurn Fan Screws (6).

FRAME 5000D has fill / drain ports pre-punched in the top and bottom panels for a Hydro X open loop liquid cooling setup.

• Remove the port covers by gently prying them off with a flathead screwdriver.

The FRAME 5000D offers several locations to mount a radiator for liquid cooling, with the front and top locations featuring an adjustable InfiniRail fan mount. Please refer to the Fan Installation section for details on using the InfiniRail Fan Mounting System.

Please refer to the following article before installing a 420mm radiator:

Top mounting provides optimal noise performance, but other mounts can be utilized based on your build preferences. Consult your cooler's product manual for more tips on usage and best practices.

The FRAME 5000 Series includes up to two Combination Drive Plates (H) - each capable of mounting one HDD and two SSDs simultaneously - as well as two dedicated 2.5" SSD Trays (K).

Unscrew the thumbscrew securing the Combination Drive Plate (H), then remove the plate.

Install the SSD(s) onto the Combination Drive Plate (H) by securing it to the bottom of the plate using the included SSD Screws (9).

Install the HDD onto the Combination Drive Plate (H) by securing it from the sides using the included HDD Screws (8).

The Combination Drive Plate (H) also serves as a mounting location for an iCUE LINK System Hub controller, if one is used. If you install a HDD on the Combination Drive Plate you will need to put the System Hub in a different location.

Reinsert the Combination Drive Plate (H) into its designated slot in the case, then secure it by tightening the thumbscrew clockwise.

Unscrew the thumbscrew securing the SSD Tray (K), then remove the tray.

Install the SSD onto the SSD Tray (K) by securing it from the bottom using the included SSD Screws (9).

Reinsert the SSD Tray (K) into its designated slot in the case, then secure it by tightening the thumbscrew clockwise.

• Install the PSU with the fan facing down.
• Secure the PSU using screws at the rear panel.

The FRAME 5000D is fully compatible with all SHIFT power supplies with side-mounted connectors and installs identically to a standard ATX PSU.

The included PCI bracket allows the FRAME 5000D to support both horizontal and vertical GPU mounting configurations.

• Unscrew the PCIe slot covers and remove them.

• Insert the card into the PCIe slot until it clicks into place with the PCIe slot's retention retention mechanism.
• Align the bracket with the PCIe slots and secure the card to the case.

The FRAME 5000D supports vertical GPU mounting with the included PCI plate and a PCIe Riser Card (sold separately).

• Uninstall the PCI Plate (G) by removing the three screws at the rear of the case.

• Rotate the PCI Plate (G) 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the PCIe slot cover thumbscrews face upward.

• Re-screw the three previously removed thumbscrews.

• Install the Vertical Mount Standoffs (11) from the accessory box to the top of the PSU shroud. There are two locations for standoffs, so choose the location that best suits the size of your GPU in relation to how far it is from the side panel.

• Mount the PCIe Riser Card (sold separately) to the standoffs using two of the screws included with the Vertical Mount Standoffs (11).

• Mount the GPU into the PCI bracket by firmly seating it into the riser card until it clicks, then secure it with a thumbscrew.

The GPU Anti-Sag Stabilization Arm supports your graphics card, preventing it from bending or sagging under the weight of its heatsink. This not only helps maintain the card’s longevity but also contributes to a cleaner, more professional-looking build.

• Adjust the GPU Anti-Sag Stabilization Arm (P) by loosening the front-facing thumbscrew and sliding it up or down.

If your GPU fan or other parts come into contact with the rubber arm, use the included GPU Anti-Sag Stabilization Arm Rubber Spacer (13) from the accessory box to ensure clearance from any moving parts.

• Attach the self-adhesive Anti-Sag Arm Rubber Spacer (13) to the GPU Anti-Sag Arm (P).

FRAME 5000 Series cases feature the RapidRoute 2.0 cable management system, identified by the distinctive squircle patterns throughout the case. Wherever you see these squircles, you’ve found a pegboard-compatible mounting point.

Your case comes with five pre-installed ratcheting cable mounts. Each strap is designed to securely cinch cables against the mount's plastic base. You can reposition these mounts in any orientation to suit your cable management needs.

Removing a RapidRoute Part

• To remove a RapidRoute 2.0 Ratcheting Strap Mount, pull the plastic plunger located at its center.

• Pull the mount off of the squircle, tilting it off in the direction of the retaining hook.

• Position the RapidRoute 2.0 Ratcheting Strap Mount where you would like it and repeat the previous steps in reverse to re-position the clip. Install the hook & loop strap on one side of the clip.
• Run your cables through the channel, then run the strap overtop the cables through the other side of the strap mount to cinch the cables against the mount and motherboard tray.

The FRAME 5000D includes other various cable management features such as:

• Variable internal/external hook and loop straps for the rear of the case.
• Zip tie points are strategically placed for routing power cables to specific devices.
• iCUE LINK cable hooks in the top panel to securely hold iCUE LINK cables without permanent attachment.
• Supports most reverse connector motherboards (MSI, ASUS, GIGABYTE) that feature connectors on the rear of the board for a build with no visible motherboard cables.
• A dedicated location for your iCUE LINK System Hub.
• If you don’t feel like spending much time on cable management and don’t want your cables visible through the bottom mesh quarter-panel, swap the translucent insert for the color-matched blank-out insert included in the Accessory Box.
• All grommets included are DoubleShot grommets, meaning they are shot from two different rubbers, a hard outer to keep the grommet seated, and a softer inner rubber for easier cable passage.
• There are included RapidRoute 2.0 cable looms that let you wrap very long wires like an extension cord based on your length needs.
