Fractal Design Core 3000 Review

Thermal Performance Testing

The Core 3000 has 3 pre-installed fans. 2x 140mm fan and a 120mm rear exhaust. All of these fans are positioned in spots that adhere to traditional airflow placements and so in theory we should get some good results from this case.

To discover the thermal performance of the Outlaw 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.
