Assembly in a full tower case is as straight forward as it can be, though as mentioned on the previous pages, we had issues with the centered position of the 8 pin power plug hole and our Corsair HX1000 PSU cables. Overall cable management is a breeze in these big enclosures, though we feel some of the cutouts could have been positioned better to achieve a more efficient and cleaner build.  The Optical drive too was hard to lock properly. This 3.5" locking mechanism needs a quick revision as in its current shape it's not up to the task. Some of the rubber grommets, needed to be refitted into position once we had routed a few cables through them.

Installing a 120 or a 240mm radiator poses no problems; nevertheless even with all the space in the top compartment Aerocool opted to not include holes for a 280 or even the possibility to install a 360 radiator, at least not without utilizing a Dremel cutter. The oversized bezel locking mechanism works great, properly securing the AMD 7970HD GPU.

The build in Fan LEDs provide quite a spectacular running gaming rig once powered.

Take note that we used the 120 Corsair Hydro 80i AIO as cooling aid instead of the regular 240 versions. This was chosen to verify the efficiency of the top 200mm Fan. Aided by the two large Fans the Aerocool GT-S is not a cooling monster alike the CORSAIR Carbide 450, it however does a decent job at keeping all components running at acceptable operating temperatures.  Tests at lower Fan speeds were not conducted as the setup got noisier the lesser rpm they ran at.

Overall very acceptable temperatures, especially those from the PWM are great. The top 200mm Fan does a good job at expelling the heat.

Noise wise the Aerocool GT-S is audible, though thanks to the 200mm Fans used, we never measured anything higher then 36dBA.
