Also, it's a beautiful case but not made for high performance gaming set ups as the front panel is very restrictive of airflow.
72-79C on cpu and gpu temps under gaming. I5 10850k w/ 240mm front mounted AIO, rtx 3080.
Once I pop my front panel off, it will lower it 10C.

Please by all means tell me how dangerous it is to run your chips within normal spec.
Thanks for helping bros

if you have hardware that runs quite hot out of the box (the 10850k and 3080, for example), i can understand wanting to reduce the temps well within spec to help with longevity. if you're constantly pushing temps to the limit, you're likely risking component degradation which you may not even realize (due to manufacturing defect, complex electrical components, etc.). not only that, the 10850k's thermal velocity boost limit is 70C, so i can understand those wanting to reach below that if possible to get the extra performance.
if you're using a very efficient cpu (like an i3, for example), then you have much more leeway in terms of how much (or little) airflow you need to keep the cpu within operating spec.
i'm sure some people blow this airflow thing out of proportion, but to a certain degree, it's a valid concern. your video showed that the cpu's temp jumped quite high (like 27 degrees). while that wouldn't be as much of an issue for an extremely power efficient cpu, if you were to use something much more power hungry, you'd hit the limit quite quickly. it is proven over and over (by gamersnexus at the very least) that airflow has a significant impact on temps.
just a personal sidenote - when i build pcs for family members (who are not too tech savvy), i tend to err on the side of caution with extra airflow because 1) they tend to block certain vents by either putting books on top of the pc or putting it right up against the wall or on the carpet, 2) they usually never clean out the dust buildup, and 3) they don't maintain it otherwise (reapplying thermal paste, swapping out broken fans, etc.). the extra airflow should help with longevity a bit before the pcs inevitably croak due to lack of care.
PS: I'm not a gamer.
Yes I did. Bought two corsair products w/ rebate last year. In both cases I had to email support after the 10 weeks period was up and then my rebate arrived within a couple of weeks of that. Both times I received no response to the email but rebate was processed shortly after so they were probably like, "guess this guy hasn't forgotten about the rebate so we should probably send it". 😃

Love how the hive mind TDers pile on. The SD community is the antithesis of predictability. They never should have implemented the comment TD/TU. It just further separates the community. Then again, this place took a sharp nose dive around 2012 and can't seem to get back to the decent community it once was when you and I joined.

It shows nothing more than how un-tech savvy these kids are, but they poop all over any deal on a decent case.
Simply put, if your temps are below the throttle point of your componnents, you will likely never experience a failure, and these extreme whines these kids are making really only become an issue for overclockers, who void their warranties in many cases anyway.
