Cpu cooler clearance runs the same way, 170 mm on the Corsair 5000D Airflow versus 190 mm on the Deepcool CH780, another win for Deepcool CH780.

Which should you buy, Corsair 5000D Airflow or Deepcool CH780?
Take the Corsair 5000D Airflow for builders who specifically prioritise easy cable management and a tool-less building experience. It is not the one for buyers focused purely on value, it offers no major advantages over cheaper options like the NZXT H6 Flow at this price. The Deepcool CH780 is the one to take for value-focused full-tower showcase builds and E-ATX motherboards, though it is not the pick for extreme dual-480mm radiator builds and small desks. Our rating of the Corsair 5000D Airflow (8/10): A genuinely easy case to build in with excellent cable management, but the $179 price is hard to justify against cheaper airflow rivals. Our rating of the Deepcool CH780 (8/10): one of the best value full-tower showcase cases right now, undercutting pricier rivals without giving up much.
