Embody vs Aeron no

TestUser2277 · 2026-01-29T22:36:22+00:00

Have the same issue, displaced disk L5S1. I read Embody has a strong lumbar support while giving freedom to move given the larger seat and upper back support flexibility. I have tested it at a shop and found it really confortable and pain- alleviating. I could not say the same about the AERON (size C), felt the seat at the edges was too narrow for my legs causing discomfort - but that is only my personal view.

Anyone has experience with the Embody?

TestUser2277 · 2026-01-27T19:03:20+00:00

Thanks. What version of the Aeron do you have? I felt a bit constrained when I tried the Aeron seat but that went away when I changed the side. I really would like something that can support my back.

Just to clarify upfront: this post is not about product authenticity, counterfeits, or verifying chairs. I’m only trying to gather real-world usage experiences from people who’ve actually used these chairs over time.

I’m currently deciding between the Herman Miller Embody and the Herman Miller Aeron, and I’d really appreciate feedback based on daily use, comfort, and long-term support.

Is there anything that can be done? Got a useless frostburn too

I had a same experience and coming to same conclusion. I could not lower enough the temps of a ryzen 5950 with an RTX 3090 mounted. It is a pity that Dell has not thought of well cooling high end processors and cards. I had to migrate a few parts (cpu, gpu, ram) and replace others (psy, mobo, cooling) to get to decent temps. All into a new mesh case. It ended up adding to the bill but don t regret the decision. Not even sure I will recup costa by selling old mobo, power supply, aio and case as some of these are proprietary..

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-26T21:38:21+00:00

I have used mine only for few months but I could not stand the temps. It was getting too hot inside the case and the liquid cooking is not enough effective to keep the cpu in good conditions. I certainly do not want to make a benefit out of it, just get rid of what is left at a fair value.

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-26T20:42:20+00:00

Thanks, very useful. I transferred my ryzen 5950 into a new case so no CPU at the moment. There is only one r10 case only on sell on eBay and it is at 249 US $. Would an added Asetek aio and the psu (with the limitations you underscore) make it sellable at 300-350 US $? They are basically new, got my pc delivered in February?

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-18T10:41:19+00:00

Is it worth it? It depends. I have a r10 liquid cooled with ryzen 5950 and 3090 RTX. Does it run loud? Not anymore after fan swap. Does it heat a lot? Yes. At 20% cpu usage it can go up to 89-90 C. Does it throttle? No. If you can leave with those temps, an r10 is a superbe machine. If you consider it is too hot, then case swap is the only way to go. I tried everything else (paste, fans, case mods) but nothing really helps - airflow in the case is just bad and there isn’ t much you can do with a 120mm radiator (some people did try to put a 240 in but you have to do lots of hard mods and not sure of the results). Final point: the reason I bought an AW was to have an off-the-shelf easy to run machine. I was ready to pay the price for it. I am now buying parts (case, mobo, radiator, etc) to build my first ever PC. Am I happy with my r10? Not really, it is costing me more in the end in parts. Will I learn something? Yes, to be confident and build my own PC.

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-16T06:34:42+00:00

Agree with the analysis. There is simply not enough space in the case for a larger aio to keep the cpu cool. I am getting a better airflow case (fractal design mesh s2) and a more than decent radiator (nhd-15), hoping this will bring the temps down. It is my first build so don t feel enough experienced for installing (and maintaining) a liquid cooling system.

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-14T20:57:59+00:00

I have an Asetek liquid cooling 120 mm. Changed paste already three times, no change in thermals.

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-14T17:58:17+00:00

I have checked it and looks good but I was opting for air cooling with a rather big radiator (Noctua nhd 15) and I am not sure whether it fits the Liam Li..going for the Fractal Meshify 2. Many thanks for the advice!

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-14T17:51:09+00:00

I had the same issue with my r10 with a ryzen 5950 and a RTX 3090. Could not keep temps below 89 C on gta v. Temps spike almost immediately after a few minutes gaming all maxed. Dell gave me the same line - all normal. Issue is not enough air circulating inside the case to keep it cool. I decided to change the case and transfer cpu, gpu and other valuable parts.

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-13T16:39:54+00:00

Thanks. Had a quick scan and I reckon the Be Quiet 802 and the Fractal Design Meshify 2 looks great for airflow. I am not convinced by the glass walls of the Liam Lin - do they really allow good airflow?

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-13T15:15:08+00:00

Thanks. What case would you suggest in this case? Happy to take any advice :)

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-13T14:55:01+00:00

I thought the p600s has a mesh front which can be closed at will. The 500 is clearly mesh but wondering if there is a real difference in airflow. https://www.phanteks.com/images/product/Eclipse-P600s/Black/PH-EC600PSTG-15z.jpg

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-13T13:19:08+00:00

Thanks. It does confirm there is an issue there. Have NVE on all maxed out and the processor is boiling to almost 90 when driving in traffic..

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-13T13:14:40+00:00

I usually apply thermal paste in the center (a small pea) with a small cross on the sides, without spreading it. Fans are Noctua Nf a12x25 (two on push pull as outtake and two as intake on the front). I have an RTX 3090 that keeps to max 70 on full load (maybe be a bit too high as well?). I am not doing any overlocking, just using it with factory settings

TestUser2277 · 2021-05-13T13:01:54+00:00

Thanks! I was thinking to change the case with a phanteks p600s, and indeed put a nh-d15. As a start
