Thermaltake Level 10 GT Review

Installation

From start to finish installing kit inside the Level 10 GT is easy, I did come across one problem however – getting the side panel to fit on the alternate side due to there being little clearance behind the motherboard tray but apart from this the Level 10 GT is a pleasure to work with.

As you can see from the photograph below, there is plenty of room inside the Level 10 GT and it will accommodate bigger motherboards such as extended ATX.


Install complete and plenty of space



Not so much room behind the motherboard tray


In terms of clearance the GPU (ASUS HD6950 DirectCU II 11”+) has just under 9cm of clearance, so the Level 10 GT will house the longest graphics cards currently on the market such as the AMD 6990. Over with the CPU cooler (Noctua NH-U12P 158mm height) we have some 3.5cm of clearance between the top of the cooler and the side panel door. So again, we can fit big CPU coolers such as the Noctua NH-D14 and Thermalright Silver Arrow which are both 160mm in height.


GPU clearance is very good – up to 9cm for ASUS HD6950 Direct CU II



CPU cooler clearance is good – up to 3.5cm for Noctua NH-U12P


Behind the motherboard tray there is 2.3cm of clearance but the back of the motherboard tray does have raised areas. Ideally I would have liked to see more clearance in this area as getting cables tucked away wasn’t as easy as it could have been – getting the side panel back on was a little bit of an issue.
