For the tests today we will be using a AMD Phenom 965 with an Asus M4A785TD-M Evo Motherboard and the impressive Antec Kuhler 920, we will be overclocking the system significantly to highlight the cooling performance of the chassis design.
Test System
Chassis: Antec One Hundred Window Edition
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition (Stock Speed: 3.4 GHz)
Motherboard: Asus M4A785TD-M EVO Motherboard
Cooler: Antec Kuhler 920 Liquid Cooling System
Memory: 4GB Kingston HyperX (1800 MHz) DDR3
Storage: OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD
Power Supply: Thermaltake Tough Power XT 750W
Graphics Card (for thermal tests): AMD Radeon HD 6450
These tests are performed with the case in its stock cooling configuration. Ambient temperatures remained constant at 22 degrees C, and both case fans were set to their maximum speeds.
Next, we overclocked the processor to 4ghz by increasing the voltage to 1.5V.
The temperatures show that there is a decent amount of airflow through the system, mainly due to the massive amount of ventillation at the front of the case and on the side panel. This can easily be improved by adding more 120mm fans to the front and another fan to the side of the case.
I like their products, they are always well priced.
I like windowed cases, but my routing skills suck so id need to put a lot of time and effort into it. which is why I have never bought one :p
It isn’t a bad case, but I used the ordinary one and I dont think its a very pretty looking case. I suppose the price point means they need to cut some corners.
