Inside Phantom 410 there are 3x pre-installed case fans – a 120mm front intake, 120mm rear exhaust and a 140mm top exhaust. This follows traditional airflow design and should in theory result in pleasing thermal performance. For the purpose of testing all fans will be connected to the fan controller and set to “low”.

To discover the thermal performance of the Phantom 410 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.
