Corsair’s Air 5400
What do you guys think about the odds of an isolated AIO chamber just for the cpu cooler becoming an actual product (not just the corsair demo, but any of the manufacturers)?

about a 105C if your HP with their garbage OMEN 45L.....every single core ran 1ghz UNDER spec......

Yeah I saw that case, looks interesting, I'm sure others will follow suit if it performs well.

I bought one of the best if not the best case at the time for cooling temps the Antec Flux Pro, not long after Lian-Li did pretty much a one for one copy (LANCOOL 217) along with a bunch of others.

im still on a coolermaster 922 as it still has the best GPU temps out of everything sold now.....i would love to get a pretty fish bowl but none of them have a 200mm fan on the side blowing right at the GPU.....

I mean MSI demoed one in like 22 but I don't think it ever was produced. Till then I guess I'll still do external rads

EDIT it just always seemed stupid to me all the $ time and effort they spend researching, calculating air flow.. .. just to share the same hot air.

No fans on the side but mine and the upcoming Air 5400 have fans directly under the GPU blowing straight in to the GPU, the Air 5400 has no underneath where the PSU sits so gets air from bottom vents, mine does have a chamber underneath but a vented side to it to draw air in, at the time I bought mine it was at top of the charts on GN case round up that's what I based the purchase on, 5090 doesn't see much above 70c at full tilt and it's the cheapest 5090, MSI Ventus.

I basically welded an old block case (with 2 rads in series, for cpu) to a fractal dual chamber case (for Gpu)

EDIT it got built back in the Intel Quad Q6600 days, and haven't really seen a reason to upgrade case, just break the welds and add an improved primary chamber case (fractal atm)

It's about the movement of air over things, but your right in a way as cases reach what you call thermal equilibrium fairly quick but imagine your in a hot room that is 50c in all parts of the room, if you put a fan on and stand in front the flow of air still helps move the heat from you even though you are in a room with thermal equilibrium, so basically it's about the best flow over components.

uhm... .I don't keep my room at 122 F lol , closer to 25C

Yeah it's used as an example, if I start giving you answers like
Delta U=Q-W (first law of thermodynamics)
Q {in}-Q {out}=0 {or} Q_{in}=Q_{out}
I thought an analogy would make more sense on why air flow is researched, I was hoping you would put 2 and 2 together and see that you in the room represents the components in the case, not come up with 5.
and yeas thats Y i use external

What an external RAD?

yes

it got built back in the Intel Quad Q6600 days, and haven't really seen a reason to upgrade case, just break the welds on the hinge (it's on rollers so i can still fiddle with the {newer case}) and add an improved primary chamber case (fractal atm)

You still want some form of air flow though ideally for other components in the case.

I have a buddy who made an external cooler using a massive car rad and a big fish pond pump, doesn't even need fans really with the sheer volume of water going round lol.

Thats what the fractal is for (gpu) and yes when I originally built the cpu cooler side it was out of an old chevy custom one ton.


EDIT lol I still have that radiator, but it's used form my 8 Gal fermenter
