Maybe you could outsource it to some experts (like FS Dynamics) and use it both for design and marketing, since having one dedicated engineer a powerful server and the software license year round might be a little much 🤷♂.

Now that's the type of innovation I like to see, instead of more random angles and more "innovative" ways to obstruct intake fans on an "airflow" case Edit: One thing I'd love to see in these tests, is to do a "best possible setup" test. You've run 8 different tests, yet none were with both bottom and side intake (with top and back exhaust), which i found surprising, as that's where I'd imagine the seperation for the gpu would really help, and also (since it's aimed at enthusiasts) is what I'd imagine the most common setup would be. Of course that means it's not comparable to a flux pro with 6 fans, but as a consumer, I woudn't mind the extra $ for 10 fans compared to 6 fans on a 200$ case, and that's the layout I'd be most likely to choose.

after years of watching your videos, your quality has increased so much that I finally decided to subscribe to your channel by the way: to improve the cooling performance, you can double the plastic ventilation duct with spacers and add a second layer... the "radiated " (infrared) waste heat then cannot seep through the cover if the lowest side-mounted fan pump its air into the gap as insulation, for this you would have to form an inlet that sends a large part of the sucked-in air in there

Man I hate to make any suggestions/requests at this point given the already extremely high levels of work, attention to detail and methodology you guys do here but I'll toss it out anyway. 1. You guys always use an air cooler for the CPU. Given both the lowering cost of AIOs and the rising levels of CPU heat loads, it would be nice to see tests with 360MM AIO cooler configurations. It would probably shake up the charts quite a bit (likely for the Torrent especially), and it's something that at this point probably applies to a growing majority of the audience. 2. Instead of (or in addition to) the "standardised fan test" having a specific set of fans that replace stock fans in the case, include a "fully loaded" configuration. This would be adding fans to everywhere a case has room for them (other than AIO placement spot), _without_ replacing already included stock fans (though allowing for shifting placement of them as needed for optimal AIO location). It's personally what I do, and I think a lot of people do as well when they at least have spare fans already around they can add to their case. Either way though, you guys are the gold standard for effort/attention to detail on reviews, and your effort does not go unnoticed or appreciated.

I really love this case! But let’s be real, not many will be using a 4070 ti or an air cpu cooler with this case. I’d love to see high end cases tested with high end hardware like 4090’s to see what’s the worst case scenario if you’re using the best hardware. Also I’d be willing to bet 90% of people will use an aio for cpu cooling also Thanks for the super detailed review and animations ! I really love this so much. I just really want to see more detailed airflow animations when you’re using high end hardware with a high end case. If I’m spending 270$ on a case I won’t cheap out on anything. I’ve bought several 250-400$ cases before and always will use whatever the best of the best at the time in them. What suxks is when I do that and the temps are worse than advertised or reviewed because they were not tested or advertised to work with high end hardware. One would only assume a 270$ case would perform better than a 150$ case but in my experience price doesn’t mean performance anymore.
@adamshettle5391

My reaction to the highly standardized setup, versus more customized setups with narrow peer-to-peer comparisons is something of a goldilocks: configure each case in the manner you would expect the typical buyer of that case to configure it, and include the cost of any non-included fans when doing the comparison. If it is a high end case that comes with no fans, buy a similar product tier fan, and use the number that you would expect to be used. Not necessarily a minimum, and not necessarily populating all the fan slots, unless that would be reasonably expected. If it is a budget case that comes with a few fans, then only use those fans. For example, with a Phanteks NV case, I would expect all the fan slots to be populated, and be populated with D30's. The case is meant to be a showpiece. How many people buy it without the intention to populate all the fan slots?

So much attention to detail (though on that subject 29:30 is probably the slickest thing i've seen you do, my god) and shit, even if it doesn't perform as well as a traditional layout, the vgpu and angled fans look freaking cool. That counts for a lot to me, especially if the performance loss isn't super significant. This is absolutely what i was hoping to see outta Tryx, i really loved how that thing looked too.
