Introduction
I would like to thank
Corsair for supplying the review sample.
The Corsair Air 5400 series is the first triple-chamber chassis, as it splits out the CPU cooler into its own external chamber, drawing in cool air from the front and expelling air out the side, without affecting the cooling within the rest of the case. Available in two formats, one with built-in iCUE capabilities and the variant we are reviewing; the Air 5400 RS-R ARGB utilizing the standardized format for illumination. Regardless of which version you go for, you get to pick between white or black variants as well.

Packaging
The Corsair Air 5400 RS-R ARGB ships in a generic brown box which is generalized so it may be used for any of the SKUs. Stickers on the side will let you know exactly which version and color you will find within.
Corsair continues to provide an upgraded unboxing experience, as you now get to enjoy interior print on the packaging. On top of that, the Air 5400 RS-R ARGB is now held in place by white foam spacers, which are more resilient against damage.
Corsair also shipped along some of their fans, the Commander Duo fan controller, and a 360 mm AIO in form of the Nautilus 360 RS ARGB.
