Corsair has unveiled its groundbreaking Air 5400, claimed to be the first triple-chamber PC case.
This design features three distinct chambers: one for components, another dedicated to the power supply unit (PSU) and cables, and a separate chamber specifically for a 360 mm radiator, aimed at expelling hot air swiftly and efficiently.
From the front, the case resembles a fish tank with its glass panels on both the front and side, allowing a view of the internal components. The structure allows air intake from both the top and bottom, creating a chimney effect that cools the components effectively.
Interestingly, Corsair incorporates principles reminiscent of the Venturi effect, commonly seen in modern Formula 1 cars, to enhance airflow through the case. The Air 5400 supports only 120 mm fans, a design choice aimed at maximizing cooling capability without compromising overall performance.
Behind the front mesh sits the 360 mm radiator, strategically located in its own chamber. The tubes leading to the CPU are cleverly routed through a brush to keep hot air isolated from other components. Additionally, the side chamber includes a diffuser to direct hot air away from vital parts.
The Air 5400 also adopts a new mounting system for cables that offers a clean, pegboard-style organization around the motherboard for efficient cable management.
Excitingly, this model will only feature Type-C USB ports on its front panel, phasing out traditional Type-A ports as dictated by emerging EU regulations. Although still labeled a concept, the Air 5400 has generated much enthusiasm, with hopes for its release in the future.
