The Thermaltake Chaser MK-I has 3 rather aggressive cooling fans. 2 x 200mm and 1 x 140mm. In traditional cooling spots, these fans surely will provide some excellent thermal performance figures? Well there's only one way to find out!

To discover the thermal performance of the Thermaltake Chaser MK-I 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. Fans will be set to "Low" for the front and top mounted 200mm fans, causing them to spin at 600RPM.

The Chaser MK-I does indeed offer some great cooling performance. The results below clearly show that the fans within the case do their job well, even with the 200mm fans running at 600RPM. With an increase, they will surely provide even better performance albeit at the cost of noise. That said, the noise from the 200mm fans spinning at both 600RPM and 800RPM offer a fairly quiet cooling solution. They are in no way disruptive. Chaser MK-I remains a good case for cooling and noise levels are kept to a minimum.
