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...

The Build, Temperature and Noise Results

Assembly was straight forward, just routing the 8 pin power plug through the top hole required some patience. The Stealth Cover has the potential to even make a messy interior look tidy. The backside of the motherboard has about 20mm of clearance with the side panel, to tuck away the abundant cables out of sight.

The Corsair H100i fitted like a glove, thanks to the off-centered position in the top. Nevertheless the clearances are minimalistic. A motherboard with slightly taller heat sinks will get you into trouble for sure. Even with the top HDD cage in place, the reference design HD7970 card posed no problems.

Looking at first glance at the temperature results, these look quite okay. Take note if we compare them with e.g. a case in the same price league, the Cooler Master CM 690 III it's quite clear that Ronin enclosure with the two included 120mm Fans is not at the same level. A variation of 3-5°C is nothing to be proud off, no matter how quiet your setup is.

Time to wrap it up...
