The Test

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

Our evaluation sample FK-320ATX featured an exhaust fan mounted below the power supply with an attached duct.

Ambient case temperature in the FK-320ATX is down a bit over the previous champ and its little brother, the FK-603, but hard drive temperature is up slightly. Once again, CPU temperature has generally shown to be most dependent on having a high quality heatsink and fan in AnandTech's testing. It should be noted that the FK-603 had an additional 80 mm fan mounted at the front of the case.

Based on average temperatures, the CPU and overall case temperatures in the FK-320ATX is about the same as in the smaller FK-603, while the HD actually ran a bit warmer. However, the FK-320ATX has the ability to mount an additional fan in front of the hard drive bays to insure those drives stay cool. After all, Fong Kai says this case can handle 10,000 RPM drives without any heat related problems.
