The Corsair Air 5400 offers such a clever and unique approach to CPU cooling, I'm surprised no one did it sooner
May 20, 2025
This case has triple chambers, but not in the way you might imagine.
Corsair has created what it holds to be the first triple-chamber PC case. One chamber for the parts, one chamber for the PSU and cables, and one special chamber that only houses a 360 mm radiator. This is designed to get the hot air out of your case as quickly as possible, without heating up any other components.
From one side of the Air 5400, it looks more or less like a fishtank-style chassis, with a glass front and side panel to showcase the parts inside. It features top and bottom fan mounting locations, essentially forming a chimney of cool air over your components, like a few other popular cases of this style.
However, it does differ to others in that Corsair tells me it's harnessing certain concepts of the Venturi effect, the same used by modern F1 cars to keep them glued to the track, to speed up the airflow through the case.
I'm not sure how much of that Venturi effect stuff is marketing or science but it has installed plastic housing for the top and bottom mounted fans that shrink at the edge to, presumably, aid in the pressure/speed change that the Venturi effect would produce.
This Venturi design determines this case to only use 120 mm fans, but that's no big issue if all Corsair's promises for top-notch cooling are true.
