Motherboard Tray

The motherboard tray of the Temjin 6, like many other trays in other cases, accepts the 3 major types of ATX boards: extended ATX, ATX, and micro ATX. Again, SilverStone has kept things simple by using standard screw-in standoffs that require screws to secure the motherboard in place.

The tray itself has guide letters that will help differentiate which holes to use for what type of motherboard.

Though it's not removable, the Temjin 6 offers plenty of space around the motherboard tray to work with the various types and sizes of motherboards, like extended ATX boards, that support dual CPUs. And again, the wind tunnel also supports dual CPU configurations.

    Also, looks are a matter of personal preference. Like they say, "One mans garbage, is another mans treasure." or something like that. ;)

    #5: I agree that a "miesely 80mm fan" wouldnt be able to do the job of cooling a system in a regular ATX case, but again, the use of that clear plastic casing to separate the hottest running components, CPU and RAM, helps keep that heat from circulating to the rest of the case, specifically by moving it out the back.

    -What wrong with it being top heavy? Are you affraid its going to tip over?! It probably weighs a ton.
    -The noise was measured from a foot away. If your that close you your computer, your wierd.
    -Anyone who cares about cooling doesn't use stock fans anyway. I'd be switching them out ASAP for high CFM high pressure fans.
    -Vertically mounted HDD's is probably a better idea, I agree.
    -The case is HUGE, you don't need a removable motherbaord tray. Anandtech entioned that.

    I think its a great case, and I'm not trying to badger you, I'm just making counter points.

    Whata rubbish review.
    The case looks awful.Sure it's not a gawdy comic book character looking case,but it's also not very appealing to my conservative eyes.
    Top heavy.No dust filters.
    Is the cooling that extraordinary to warrant such a high noise level trade-off?? I think not.
    Speaking of cooling,what about the rest of the components in the case i.e. Northbridge chip,video card,mosfets etc.?
    They're left to a miesely 80mm fan?
    Can vertical mounted hard drives be a good idea?
    The stylus now has to fight gravity in one direction when searching the platters.No?
    No vibration dampening grommets mentioned.No removable MB tray.
    I/O panel positioned too low.

    49db if your head is within 12" of the case. If it's on the floor and you're in a chair, it's going to sound a bit quieter. This case's thermal properties sound awesome. I wouldn't mind the noise either. I'm running an open case right now with a volcano 7+ set to medium, so the Silverstone wouldn't bother me a bit.

    I think this review understates the sound issue. 49db is definitely not quiet.

    Good review. It's too bad that Silverstone doesn't get someone in there that really understands what's going on. So close, but no cigar. I still think the Berserker is the best one in their lineup and they had nothing to do with the internal design of it.
    .bh.

    got the first one in again - whassamatta you?
