BitFenix Ronin Midi-Tower Computer Case Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2013-12-30

A warrior with no master. A case with no equal. Ronin combines a dark, stealthy design with enhanced hardware compatibility for a chassis built for vengeance, a small extract of what BitFenix has to say about today's reviewed Ronin mid tower case. Very aggressive PR material, but that's the way we got used too. Strong and bold claims, however the case has to live up to the hype created around it. Let us pop the box and discover what the Ronin is really made of...

Test Setup and Methodology

The test setup comprises of the following hardware:

The hardware comprises of the following parts:

ASUS Sabertooth X79 mainboard
Intel i7-3960X OC'ed at 4.5Ghz 1.37Vcore
Corsair Hydro100i cooling
16GB G.SKill 2133C9 RAMs
1 x AMD 7970HD graphics card
1 x Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green Hard Drives
4 x SAMSUNG 840 PRO 256GB SSD
Corsair HX1000 Power Supply.

For the IDLE tests we allow the setup warm up during a 30 min period. The temperatures of the CPU cores are monitored by the Realtemp software. The temperatures of the motherboard components are read out by the ASUS Thermal Radar software. For the stress test we go flat out and test our the six cores of the overclocked i7-3960X CPU (4500MHz) with the Prime95 64bit software with a custom 12-12K setting. For the GPU test we ran a 3 time loop of the Futuremark Vantage 3D bench software to heat up the graphics core.

Here are some screenshots of the ASUS Thermal RADAR software in action:
