Ah airflow. If you get it just right, it's like a breath of fresh air. If you get it wrong, it's like a breath of old dusty air pointing right at your GPU. If you're planning out your next build and want a rough approximation of where your air will flow, BuildCores has a neat new feature.
As shared over on the PCMR subreddit, creator bosoxs202 demonstrates it with a handful of builds. It's worth noting it's not a full-on simulation; it can't demonstrate how a GPU might get in the way of a fan, or how differently powered fans might suck in or blow out that air separately. It's simply a neat little visualisation tool for you to approximate how those fans will interact.
Responding to some negative feedback, bosoxs202 says, "I didn't mean to showcase this as a full airflow 'simulation'. It's basically a visual configurator that showcases the orientation of intake and exhaust fans to simplify it for beginners. But feedback is noted and [I] appreciate it. Maybe we'll do a full simulation one day..."
