Performance
A modern-day mid-tower chassis should have no trouble cooling an overclocked Core i5-3570K processor. As expected, the Core 2500 delivers ample airflow for our test configuration.
The unobstructed front intake appears to be delivering a good amount of air to our dual Radeon HD 7950 OC graphics cards. 76ºC under load is well within the limits for a CrossFire configuration.
Noise levels are a mixed bag. Fractal's two pre-installed fans run quietly - hence the practically inaudible idle reading - but the chassis' mesh openings let noise escape easily, and this is noticed when loud-running components are used.
