Fractal Design Define R3 Review

Thermal Performance Testing

Inside Fractal Design’s R3 are 2x pre-installed fans – a 120mm intake at the front and a 120mm rear exhaust fan. So this case follows traditional airflow design and should deliver good results in theory.

To discover the thermal performance of the R3 I will record idle temperatures after 20 minutes from a cold boot. I will then stress the system and temperatures will again be monitored after 30 minutes have elapsed.
