ColorCase Yuri/Venus ATX Mid Tower

The Test

For full details on how we tested, please read AnandTech's case testing methodology.

The ColorCase Yuri/Venus both include a secondary fan from the factory and was tested as such.

In virtually every circumstance, the Yuri stayed just about 5 degrees F hotter than the Supermicro SC-750A - not a bad feat for a much smaller case with fewer fans. Its no surprise that CPU temperature was consistent because the most important thing for keeping the CPU cool is a high quality heatsink and fan. However, the big surprise is the hard drive temperature, which remains quite a bit lower - up to 20 degrees F - than the large majority of ATX mid towers out there.

Maximum sustained temperatures in the Yuri show the same scenario as above.

Once again, CPU temperature has generally shown to be most dependent on having a high quality heatsink and fan in AnandTech's testing.

Once again, it is the hard drive temperature that proves to be the biggest surprise. Its temperature rises more rapidly than in the SC-750A, but that case had a fan pointed directly at the hard drive. ColorCase's Yuri on the other hand makes do with a more efficient design that moves air through the whole case and results in some of the lower numbers we've seen in a mid tower ATX case.
