The Corsair 600T has 3 pre-installed fans located in key airflow spots. A front mounted 200mm fan, a top mounted 200mm fan and a 120mm rear exhaust fan. So with regards to air flow, the 600T should by all accounts output some pleasing temperature readings.

To discover the thermal performance of the Corsair 600T 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 a 30 minute have elapsed. Fans will be kept the middle setting on the fan controller.

The Corsair 600T's fans shift plenty of heat. It's up there with the other cases I have reviewed recently as being a premium air cooled enclosure.

Noise: With the fans turned onto full speed they can be disruptive. Noise levels are tolerable but I couldn't imagine sitting there for too long with the fans turned on to maximum if I didn't have a headset on etc. With the fans on medium noise is noticeable but not disruptive by any means and on low, the noise is whisper quiet.
