MONTECH TEN Review

Thermal Performance Testing

Inside TEN there is just a single 92mm cooling fan configured as a rear exhaust. Having just a single fan, and push only config, we expect this case to offer fairly average results.

To discover the thermal performance of TEN 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

The below system configuration is different to that which is displayed/installed within photos/video. We use this below configuration for historic comparison.



System Components

CPU Intel Pentium K Anniversary G3258
Motherboard ASUS Z97I-Plus
CPU Cooler Noctua NH-L9i
Graphics PowerColor RX 9070 XT
Memory 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3
SSD Samsung 840 SSD
PSU SilverStone SX500-G
Noise

TEN is heavily ventilated and as a result will leak noise quite easily, however since we are only dealing with a 92mm fan in its stock configuration, there is very little noise emitted. To see the audio results please check out our video review.
