We have managed to gather together almost all models from the company’s new series of system cases for our today’s tests. We’ve got six models in total and none of them is going to leave you indifferent. Read more about the system assembly tips, thermal conditions and more in our new detailed Thermaltake cases roundup!

Another excellent review covering many;

With holes on the panel, large hole or small with fan or not.

The bottom line - large case performs better.
Side panel poles may or may not provides the best CPU and GPU temp. However, one thing for sure, the air flow in a case with side panel holes will effect negatively on HDD temp as air flow no longer sweep from front to back covering the largest surface area. The fresh air sucks in and takes the shortest distance being sucked out by the exhaust.

Be nice if memory temps were measured also.
