CORSAIR Launches the Revolutionary AIR 5400 Triple-Chamber Mid Tower

CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) is thrilled to announce the launch of the groundbreaking AIR 5400 triple-chamber mid-tower case.  This unique and innovative PC chassis separates the hottest components from each other with isolated cooling zones that reduce heat and fan noise and enhance performance. With dual airflow ducts in the main chamber, a wraparound glass exterior with swing-open doors, pre-installed reverse-rotor RGB fans, and a wide-open CPU chamber exhaust, the AIR 5400 delivers class-leading thermal performance and innovation. Just as CORSAIR brought dual-chamber cases into the mainstream in 2013 with the original AIR 540, it is poised to once again disrupt the status-quo of the PC case market with an even more functionally elegant solution.

Unique Triple-Chamber Design

Winner of multiple “Best of Computex” awards when the prototype was revealed in May of 2025, the AIR 5400 sets new standards for visuals and cooling performance in ATX mid-tower cases. Its triple-chamber layout transcends the case design mold by introducing a third chamber made for a 360mm all-in-one (AIO) CPU liquid cooler (sold separately). Most single- and dual-chamber cases require mounting an AIO in the top of the case, which provides the CPU cooler with air warmed by the GPU, which can result in less efficient CPU cooling.

The AIR 5400 improves cooling efficiency with a CPU cooling chamber in the front of the chassis. This front-mounted chamber is designed for a 360mm AIO, which draws cool air into a radiator from outside the case and exhausts the resulting warm air immediately via a sculpted air vent that also keeps the chambers separate. This design allows the CPU to be cooled independently of the GPU, delivering superior cooling performance compared to top-mounted AIOs.

Dual Airflow Ducts for Continuous Cooling

The AIR 5400 features airflow ducts on the top and bottom of the main chamber. The bottom airflow duct is functional and directs cold air intake from 3x pre-installed reverse-rotor fans directly into the GPU above it, counteracting the fan vortex effect and channeling that air more productively while the top airflow duct is provided for aesthetic balance. Both airflow ducts also allow the installation of 30mm “max” fans, giving PC builders more options when choosing an optimal case fan layout.

GPU cooling performance is a primary focus of the AIR 5400, and with 430mm of GPU clearance, even the largest GPUs have room to breathe and get a constant supply of fresh air. The GPU sits in its own isolated chamber, unaffected by the CPU, resulting in excellent cooling performance.

The AIR 5400 is offered in two models, an ARGB version with 3x included RS120-R ARGB fans, or an iCUE Link version with 3x included LX120-R iCUE LINK RGB reverse-rotor fans pre-installed, giving buyers the option of simple motherboard fan control or easy cable management with iCUE LINK’s single-cable connectivity. Both types of fans offer unobstructed RGB lighting and powerful, low-noise cooling, with the LX120-R version featuring an iCUE LINK System Hub that provides per-fan control and monitoring, as well as support for up to 24 iCUE LINK devices in total, all connected via a single cable.

Enjoy the View

The AIR 5400 introduces wraparound glass panels designed to swing open on hinges that disappear into the case for a clean look and effortless access, making it easier than ever to upgrade your hardware and providing a panoramic view from nearly any angle.

Cable Management Made Easy

The spacious third chamber resides behind the motherboard, and provides ample room for a power supply, a single 3.5” HDD and two 2.5″ SSDs, as well as any cables. The AIR 5400 features CORSAIR’s innovative RapidRoute 2.0 pegboard motherboard tray, which makes cable management easy with a modular cable tie-down system. Ratcheting cable tie-down anchors can be removed from the pegboard, extended in length, rotated, and positioned anywhere on the pegboard for precise and customizable cable management.

The case also supports the latest reverse-connector motherboards from Asus, MSI, and GIGABYTE, with plenty of room in the third chamber to easily secure all motherboard cables for a super-clean build. Nylon brushes between chambers allow for clean wiring, as cables can be routed to their exact location without relying on predetermined holes. The bristle design eliminates gaps and unsightly holes that could tarnish the interior’s look.

Fast I/O and Builder-Friendly Features

A modern top I/O panel includes 3x USB Type-C ports: two at 5Gb/s and one at 10Gb/s for fast file transfers, alongside a microphone/headset jack and a power button. The case also includes a built-in Anti-sag Stabilization Arm, a reusable storage box for case screws, QuikTurn® screws to make fan installation faster and easier, and a microfiber polishing cloth to keep the glass panels sparkling clean.

Two Colors, Two Fan Options

Available in black or white, the AIR 5400 ships with either 3x RS120-R PWM ARGB or 3x iCUE LINK LX120-R reverse-rotor fans. In both models, intake fans are pre-installed in the bottom of the case to provide cool air to the GPU. The LX120-R version includes an iCUE LINK System Hub to allow the connection of additional iCUE LINK devices.

CORSAIR is incredibly proud of the AIR 5400 and cannot wait to see customers build in it and experience a never-before-seen level of cooling and noise performance balance. As our first triple-chamber PC case, we’re excited to see the community create brand-new layouts that look incredible and push PC performance to the next level.

*Test configuration: FRAME 4000D, AIR 5400 without optional front dust filter, Asus Z790 TUF BTF motherboard, Nautilus 360 AIO, CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5-6000 XMP, CORSAIR MP700 SSD, RS120 fans. Test results provided for reference only. Due to system configuration and environmental variables, performance will vary significantly between configurations.

Availability, Warranty and Pricing

The CORSAIR AIR 5400 is available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors with North America availability occurring in late Q4.

The CORSAIR AIR 5400 is backed by a two-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command Launches Version 2.0 Update

A New Revolution in Real-Time Strategy is here – and it’s free. When Starship Troopers: Terran Command launched in June 2022, it proved there was a vibrant future for the Action-RTS genre. Publisher Slitherine and developer The Artistocrats steadfastly believe in continually pushing the boundaries of strategy, and today they launch the game’s biggest evolution yet. They are not just releasing a new game mode; they are introducing the game’s Version 2.0. This massive, free update—the Territory Mode—transforms the core experience and adds an unprecedented strategic layer at the planet level, showing Slitherine’s commitment to making the game the definitive action-strategy title.

The Territory Mode: Action RTS Meets Semi-Roguelite

Sometimes the best gifts cost nothing. The new Territory Mode puts players in command of the planetary defense across the three worlds featured in the base game and its two DLCs (Rising Hell and Urban Onslaught). This strategic campaign provides a level of personalization and replayability never before seen in Terran Command.

Instead of following one scripted mission after another, players now decide where and how to strike the Bugs and wipe out their nests in an open strategic campaign. Battles can be fought across the galaxy, with each planet offering its own distinct set of maps, objectives, and unique Arachnid threats—ensuring that no two campaigns ever feel the same.

“The release of Territory Mode is a clear statement: Slitherine is not just launching games, we are committing to their long-term support and evolution, with passion and dedication” says Marco Alessandro Minoli, Publishing Director at Slitherine. “Starship Troopers: Terran Command has always been a key part of the recent RTS resurgence, and this ‘Version 2.0’ update shows we are dedicated to making it the definitive action-strategy title.

This philosophy extends across our entire successful RTS lineup, including games like Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance and the 2025 blockbuster Broken Arrow. Slitherine has truly become the essential home for all RTS enthusiasts, and our continuous free support is how we repay the passion of this community. We are here to ensure that the genre thrives”.

Unprecedented Customization: Introducing Battle Groups

The core of this revolution lies in the new level of customization. In Territory Mode, players choose their Battle Groups, which function like specialized factions. These Battle Groups consist of a unique set of units, turrets, and abilities, adding character-based elements and super innovative tactical options to every deployment.

The launch Battle Groups include:

  • Ground Pounders: Hardened veterans of the brutal desert war on Kwalasha.
  • Hell Raisers: Fearless mercenaries operating on behalf of the Federation.
  • Peacekeepers: The Federation’s elite military police.

Each Battle Group also comes with a unique set of Technologies, which players must find and unlock in battle to gain enhanced unit performance, new unit types, or powerful abilities.

(Planets and units from Gehenna and Varuna are available with their respective DLCs)

Core Gameplay Refined

Territory Mode introduces a new strategic layer where controlling and defending Territory Points is paramount. Holding these strategic locations guarantees a steady income of a new, essential resource. This resource must be carefully managed to recruit new units, reinforce weakened squads, and unlock those advanced technologies. The Arachnids won’t surrender without a fight: their power will steadily grow as the campaign unfolds, launching relentless counteroffensives.

“Do your part!”: To celebrate the launch of Territory Mode, Starship Troopers: Terran Command will be on sale at 45% off, with both DLCs at 25% off until October 28th.

Join the Federation and experience the RTS 2.0 revolution today.

theHunter: Call of the Wild Game Feeder Pack Out Now

Avalanche Studios Group has released the Game Feeder pack, featuring three new game feeders for theHunter: Call of the Wild for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.

Game Feeders offer players a new, strategic way of hunting as they can draw wildlife to specific areas of the map with tactical placement and create ideal hunting situations.

Drilled holes provide steady bait distribution while the blue barrel stays visible in dense terrain. It’s a prime choice for when durability matters most.

The Game Feeder pack is available on all platforms for £5.89 / €6.89 / $6.99.

Bloober Team’s latest survival horror infused with sci-fi mystery — now has a free demo available on Steam and Epic. Enjoy a thrilling 30-minute experience that will test your courage this Halloween season. Step into a world that has captivated players from day one. And that’s not all — for the first time ever, Cronos: The New Dawn will be part of a special Halloween sale, with 15% off across different platforms!

Welcome, Traveler ND-3576! If these words are new to you, consider this your invitation to the unknown. What awaits you next?

5 Twisted Reasons to Enter the World of Cronos: The New Dawn This Spooktober

Listen up, horror fans: if you haven’t yet dared to play Cronos: The New Dawn – the survival horror cocktail of sci-fi mystery and retro-futuristic vibes — consider this your official invitation. Our dev team handpicked a few delightfully twisted reasons why skipping this one would be… a rookie mistake.

1. Pure Body Horror!

It’s something deeply human — the fear of our own flesh turning against us. A feast for true connoisseurs of the grotesque, Cronos: The New Dawn dives deep into the anatomy of fear — the poetry of decay. For those who crave the unsettling, it delivers raw, visceral transformation: flesh twisting, bones contorting, humanity dissolving into nightmare.

Cronos’ signature monsters — the Orphans — merge, devour corpses, and evolve in real time. The more they consume, the bigger and more monstrous they become. Merging changes everything — it’s fast, brutal and merciless.

Your only rule: don’t let them merge.

2. Intense Gameplay – Always on the Edge

Tension hits like a rollercoaster — dread, panic, relief — making every encounter feel electrifying. As resources dwindle, you’ll be on the edge of your seat while monstrous creations start to merge. Strategy is everything. No two fights are alike. Monsters adapt, merge, and evolve, keeping you sharp and forcing split-second decisions. This is survival horror at full intensity.

3. Fear Factor – Face It Your Way… and Have a Blast!

Cronos: The New Dawn is a tribute to classic survival horror games, set against the haunting backdrop of Nowa Huta, where every corner oozes with tension and apocalyptic mystery. You fear not only what lurks around each corner, but the fragility of your survival strategy itself — one wrong move and chaos takes over. There’s a strange beauty in fear: feeling those intense emotions in a controlled environment, where danger excites without causing real harm, is both electrifying and liberating. It’s messy, terrifying, and saturated with adrenaline and carnage — capturing the very essence of the ghostly season, making it perfect for Halloween nights.

4. Hear the Symphony of Horror

Prepare to feel fear in every vibration. Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a spine-chilling soundtrack, masterfully crafted by the incredible Arkadiusz Reikowski and amplified by the haunting Zazula Choir. Eerie, Blade Runner–style synths collide with ghostly Polish Ukrainian vocals, creating a soundscape that burrows deep under your skin. Every creak, whisper, and distortion makes you question reality. This isn’t just music — it’s an invitation to tremble.

5. Test your courage, dare to survive

Cronos: The New Dawn is more than a game — it’s an experience. Survive it, and October will never feel the same again. The world is brutally challenging, and combat will push you to your limits — but every hard-fought victory is intensely satisfying. And if you die? Don’t be afraid to try again.

A bonus reason? You know we had to throw it in here. THE CATS. There is nothing sassier than a judgmental cat. These fluffy four-legged creatures are found throughout the collapsing city and can be pet (should they grant you the honor) for a brief reprieve from the harsh reality surrounding you.

This spooky season would not be complete without Cronos: The New Dawn. Consider this your invitation to overcome your fears and untangle a twisted time-travel story as you step into the Traveler’s boots and experience true survival horror at its finest.
