Inside FRAME 4000X RS there are four 120mm cooling fans – in a push/pull configuration. Three as intakes at the front, and a single rear exhaust. This set up typically yields great results.
To discover the thermal performance of FRAME 4000X RS we will record idle temperatures after 20 minutes from a cold boot. We will then stress the system and temperatures will again be monitored after 30 minutes have elapsed.
For the purpose of accurate analysis, the idle and load temperatures for CPU will be recorded and the range between idle and load will be calculated to determine how efficient cooling is.
NOTE: Ambient temperature is 20C

Noise
FRAME 4000X RS is highly ventilated and as such, the fan noise is definitely noticeable but is by no means disruptive or overbearing. Since the case is clearly designed for airflow, this is one of the expected trade-offs. To see the audio results please check out our video review.
