Sunbeamtech Silent Storm ATX Case Review

jmke · 21st March 2006, 21:16

Is the Silent Storm case from Sunbeamtech able to live up to its name? The Silent Storm has some innovative features which aim at improving the airflow; we take it for a spin and compare its performance to that of a worthy competitor.

Were those two holes blocked? I must have missed this.

no I don't think they were blocked, if you look at the temp results the side panel fan doesn't quite increase performance;

in my tests with the AMMO when I blocked the side panel holes the chipset and CPU temp went up by 1°C, videocard/HDD remained pretty much unchanged
