Why don't cases seperate CPU from GPU for thermal reasons?

3 x 180mm fans in the bottom pushing 110CFM straight up seems to have worked well for Silverstone in the Raven RV02 case as proved by Gamers Nexus as it still holds the coolest case award. The only problem is that if you wanted to go AIO or Custom loop you either needed one of their proprietary 180mm AIO coolers or external rad for custom loops

Huh neat! Kinda annoying they didn't just use 200mm fans though

It made it so that if you wanted new fans you had to go to them if they were 200mm you could go to some other brand instead.

they are really good fans though 180mm x 38mm so push alot of high static pressure air at full tilt and better if they're the Air Penetrator versions
