How is the airflow in this case?

Can't post stats(cause I don't have them), but I'm running a Ryzen 9 9950x with a 240mm AIO and a RX 9070 XT and am experiencing no thermal throttling and the case feels fairly cool.

What should I keep in mind while installing an AIO cooling system in this case?

The case is optimized for AIO watercoolers and supports radiators up to 280 mm in length.

Does this case support liquid CPU cooling systems?

Yes, this case is optimized for AIO watercoolers and supports radiators up to 280 mm.

Can I fit a large graphics card in this case?

Yes, this case is compatible with graphics cards up to 3 slots with 326 mm in length and 61 mm in thickness.

What is the other end of the cable for PCIe 4.0 cable in the case?

It's a PCIE extension. Both ends just elongate the PCIE connection from the GPU so that the card can fit in vertically.
