Do note that this isn't a major revision of the Corsair One chassis or cooling configuration. Ryzen 9 5900X and RTX 3080 are effectively drop-in upgrades, and though power consumption climbs accordingly, both CPU and GPU temperatures are relatively consistent to the previous-generation One a100.

The AMD Ryzen chip does get toasty under load, bordering on 90°C, yet we're willing to accept the amount of hot air being expelled from the roof of the chassis as a by-product of the low noise levels. Given the space with which it has to work, Corsair's cooling setup is nice and quiet most of the time and doesn't get particularly loud when gaming.
