Default Coolermaster Praetorian 731 Case Review

We take a closer look at one of the latest full tower cases coming from the widely known Coolermaster farm. The Praetorian product line has been around for some time now, providing a high quality finish with easy installation features and good case cooling. Does the new "731" continue this tradition?

Further proof the importance of back exhaust fan. Excellent temp reportings.

Did an experiment to prove the theory .... the current side panel vent was moved to lower front ..... allowing more fresh air drawn from the hard drive area sweeping across larger area inside the case producing lower temperatures on Vcard, CPU and memory. The term called "drafting".

hmm I saw something very interesting @the CM site

you can flip the motherboard panel around in this case?

how would that impact thermal performance?

I guess the temperatures will be much lower.

- you can use the backfan as intake --> fresh air directly on the cpu
- VGA-card upside-down will result in much lower temps.

with a PSU that gets hot air out, a 120mm topfan and some silent intake fans this case is a winner
