    The two main sources of heat are the CPU and GPU. Why are they located in the same compartment? Wouldn't it make more sense to separate them so that case fan curves for the different zones could reflect whatever component was actually in there? I heard that a riser cable for a GPU doesn't impact performance significantly so this should be entirely possible.

    I say this as a user who is considering an AIO because I want better airflow for my mobo and GPU, not because I think the CPU needs it.
