CORSAIR Launches 2000D Series of Mini-ITX Cases
CORSAIR has today unveiled the new CORSAIR 2000D AIRFLOW and 2000D RGB AIRFLOW small form factor cases. These mini-ITX cases, available in black or white, are ideal for high-performance compact PC builds, offering abundant airflow thanks to removable steel mesh panels and the ability to fit up to a triple-slot full-length graphics card up to 365mm in length.
Combined with the 2000D Series’ ability to mount a high-wattage SFX-L PSU and up to 360mm all-in-one CPU liquid coolers, enthusiasts are free to build a PC using today’s most powerful performance hardware, all in a case with a footprint of just 271mm x 200mm. It’s a small-footprint powerhouse. Taking up just 24.4 liters of volume, the 2000D AIRFLOW Series can house top-tier components along with the plentiful cooling they need in a space-saving form factor.
The removable high-airflow front, side, and roof panels deliver ventilation from nearly all sides of your system, while the interior maximizes its cooling potential with room for up to 8x 120mm fans, along with multiple radiators including a 360mm on the side and 240mm in the back (dependent on graphics card size). Whether it’s a CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Liquid CPU Cooler or a GPU AIO cooler, the 2000D can fit today’s most demanding cooling setups.
The 2000D RGB AIRFLOW is equipped with three pre-installed CORSAIR AF120 RGB SLIM fans in the front intake, offering plentiful out-of-the-box airflow alongside vibrant customizable lighting from eight RGB LEDs per fan, powered by CORSAIR iCUE Software. These new slim fans, just 15mm deep, give PC builders extra clearance space when fitting hardware into space-constrained builds. The 2000D AIRFLOW ships with a full array of ventilated steel mesh panels, but without included cooling fans, allowing builders complete freedom to configure their cooling setup.
With the ability to house today’s most powerful CPUs and graphics cards, the 2000D Series needs to be able to accommodate a power supply able to keep up. Supporting SFX and SFX-L factor PSUs up to 130mm in length, including the recently launched CORSAIR SF1000L and SF850L, builders can choose a PSU that meets their build’s needs.
Elsewhere 2000D Series boasts a modern front panel I/O with connections for a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, 2x USB 3.0 Type-A, and a 3.5mm headset jack, while internally there are mounts for up to three 2.5in SSDs for all your storage needs. With iconic styling, impressive cooling potential, and the ability to mount even the most demanding PC hardware, 2000D Series allows enthusiasts to build a PC as formidable as any desktop.
The CORSAIR 2000D AIRFLOW, 2000D RGB AIRFLOW, AF120 RGB SLIM, and SF-L Series are available immediately. The 2000D AIRFLOW and 2000D RGB AIRFLOW are backed by a two-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network. The AF120 RGB SLIM is backed by a three-year warranty. The SF-L Series is backed by a seven-year warranty.

CORSAIR RMx Series Power Supplies Get ATX 3.1 Upgrade, ATX 12V-2×6 Connector
CORSAIR has announced an update to its award-winning low-noise RMx series of power supplies with ATX 3.1 compliance, a native ATX 12V-2×6 connector, a manual fan speed control knob, and other improvements. Boasting Gold-certified efficiency (up to 91%) and an A+ noise rating from Cybenetics, the new RMx series includes fully modular, ultra-flexible embossed cables that simplify cable routing even in the most challenging of PC builds. Cooled by a 140mm Fluid-Dynamic Bearing fan with a magnetic dome structure and a manual fan override knob, the RMx series remains one of the quietest and most reliable power supplies available.
“We’re pleased to launch the new RMx Series with an entirely new electrical design that includes a six-layer PCB for better thermal and electrical performance, an upgraded fan, and full ATX 3.1 compliance,” said Jon Gerow, Director of Power Supply Research and Development at CORSAIR. “We’re also happy to announce it achieved the Cybenetics Gold rating for efficiency and the A+ rating for audible noise.” Each RMx power supply features 100% Japanese electrolytic capacitors and delivers its rated power output at a 50°C ambient temperature, ensuring reliable power and longevity even under high-stress conditions.
Available in 750W, 850W, and 1000W models, every RMx Series PSU is fully ATX 3.1 compliant and includes a native 12V-2×6 connector to support both current and future high-end GPUs. The 140mm FDB fan is PWM-controlled and features a half-dome structure that reduces surface friction, resulting in less noise and an improved lifespan. The specially calculated fan curve ensures fanless operation at low loads and minimal noise as power ramps up. Users who wish to override this can do so quickly and easily using the included knob on the rear of the unit.
The RMx Series features fully modular, embossed cables that are sleek and ultra-flexible, capable of making tight bends when connecting to nearly any device within a case, allowing for easy concealment. The 12v-2×6 cable includes low-profile combs for a clean look that compliments your GPU rather than obscuring it. The RMx PSU enclosure is all-new, featuring a stamped, low-restriction fan grill and an improved connector layout with clearer labelling. For users who want a splash of colour, the RMx Series is compatible with CORSAIR Premium Individually Sleeved Type 4 PSU cables and our ARGB PSU cable strips, sold separately.
RMx Series power supplies measure 150mm x 86mm x 160mm and include a wide variety of cables and connectors that vary based on the model purchased.
