I love Linus' videos, but he had very wrong conclusions on how airflow works in this video. This is not like my typical videos but I felt I had to get this out quickly.

It is not turbulence that is causing bad GPU temperatures, but bad fundamental case designs. We need a case design shift to something more like Fractal's Torrent case with real intake for the graphics card.

I agree that this is the best case design by far.
