Antec P280 Review

Thermal Performance Testing

Inside Antec’s P280 are 3x pre-installed fans positioned at the back and top of the case, all positioned as exhaust fans. Sadly there are no intake fans installed so there won’t be any positive airflow moving across the system – it will be interesting to see how effective it is with just exhaust fans dissipating heat.

To discover the thermal performance of the P280 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. Fan controller will be set to high for all fans.
