Thermal dynamics
To measure idle temperatures, a reading was taken after having Windows open on the desktop for 30 minutes. A reading under load was taken with Prime 95’s SmallFFt test running alongside 3DMark Fire Strike.
Here, it is important to note we used Ryzen Master to take our temperature readings for the 1700X. You also may have read that Ryzen 7 strangely reports the temperature to be 20 degrees higher than what it actually is, so that is also worth bearing in-mind.
That being said, the thermals are perfectly acceptable for an air-cooled system. The GPU's peak of 75 degrees shows it certainly benefited from the 2x 140mm intake fans which bring a good supply of fresh air into the chassis.
Acoustics
Acoustically, the Phoenix is far from loud. It is audible when the system is idling, but it does not seem like the case fans ramp up at all when stressed, so in my book, that is a victory.
Great review, flawed system. It hurts me to see such high end components put in what was always meant to be a cheap budget bottom end case, just because they put a tempered glass window on the side doesn’t change it. I had the case and could only tolerate it for a month. It really is paper thin rubbish and the CPU and GPU cooling on that system both exhaust back into the case. This could have been so much better with something like a Be Quiet Silent Base 600 Tempered Glass Which Retails for around the same price.

I emailed AWD to ask a few questions about a PC kit they were selling a few years ago. Never heard back from them so wasn’t impressed. Lost me as a customer then, funny how that works…..
Hopefully they have changed.
