 Arctic Cooling Silentium T3 ECO 80 review

 By: Hilbert Hagedoorn Edited by Ant | Published: January 19, 2009  


 

Arctic Cooling Silentium T3

All the way at the bottom we stumble into a power socket. This leads directly towards the build in power supply. Minor discomfort there. There's no on/off switch.

Once we open the side panel we stumble into a massive load of kit. Some of the kit unfortunately was loose inside the chassis. And during transport it damaged a thing or two.

The inside of the T3 is not very spacey, so be careful here. Even on the Arctic cooling website there is a warning about certain ASUS motherboards.

First off: all mainboards that follow the ATX standard and therefore are no wider than 24.5 cm are compatible with this PC case. But there are some Asus mainboards that align their Floppy connector horizontally instead of vertically. Therefore the board exceeds the ATX standard as soon as you install a Floppy data cable and is then no more compatible to our case.
Without pluging in a Floppy data cable, these boards fit the chassis fine though.

The case comes with mainboard fasteners, some spare rubber hangers for the HDD container and rails to install your 5.25” and 3.5” devices.

Inside the box the case is protected by Polystyrene and bundled with the case are the following items:

  • Air Shrouds
  • Drive Bay Rails
  • Hard Drive Muffler kit
  • Hard Drive Heatsink and Thermal Tape
  • Plugs
  • Manual

Once we strip away the bezel and we can show you that your HDD and optical drives can be mounted without any effort, completely tool-less.
