Sentey GS-6000 II Optimus Mid Tower Review

Steve Ruxton July 23, 2012 Cases, Featured Announcement

To test the Sentey GS 6000 II Optimus we will be building a system based around the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T CPU and the Asus M5A97 AM3+ motherboard. We are going to be using the Noctua NH-C12P SE14 heatsink combined with one of the 140mm fans from the Havik 140 to cool the processor.

Test System

Chassis: Sentey GS 6000 II Optimus Mid Tower
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 AM3+
Cooler: Noctura NH-C12P SE14/NZXT 140mm fan
Memory: 16GB DDR III
Storage: OCX Petrol 64GB SSD, WD Caviar Black 750GB SATA 6 Gb/s
Power Supply: Corsair HX850
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD6950 2GB reference model

Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)
AIDA64
Prime 95 64bit
Furmark

Digital Sound Level Noise Decibel Meter Style 2

To get started let us look at the ‘out of the box' air flow pattern.

To prepare for testing we let the system sit idle at the desktop for 20 minutes before recording the results.

Then we run Prime 95 and Furmark for 15 minutes to stress the CPU and GPU and generate plenty of heat.  After the 15 minutes we stop the testing and record the results.  The system is running at stock speed for this test and we use the logging feature in AIDA64 to record the results.

Our testing generated some surprising results. Considering the fact that the stock fans are not high performance, the temperatures remained under control.  The Prime 95 testing handled the 1090T which is running at stock speed up to 53 Celsius under full load. This is not really a great result, but it is well within the guidelines for this CPU. Furmark pushed the Sapphire Radeon 6950 up into the seventies, topping out at 74 Celsius.

The performance would have been better if there was a top mounted exhaust fan included, and we have no doubt that the use of more powerful fans would improve on both sets of results as well. In the default state we wouldn't recommend pushing this cooling system with hot running, overclocked components.

    looks nice, but the inside is poorly laid out. the routing is terrible. I wouldnt buy this, the corsair case is better.
