Testing temps in the Sliger CX3702 mATX NAS Case (They're great! 🐯)
Computers Cats and More
So a lot of people including myself were curious how thermals would be in the CX3702 would be with only 2 fans. The drives ended up only getting a couple degrees above ambient. The CPU despite using a stock cooler managed to stay in an acceptable range as well. Under heavier loads I think the CPU would have run hotter, but that would be more of a cooler deficiency than the case in the current config. I think if you plan on running the CPU harder getting the 120MM water cooler from Sliger would be ideal. Otherwise overall I am impressed and happy with how well the thermals went. Build specs:
- Sliger CX3702 3U 10 bay mATX NAS case
- Intel Core i5-8400
- GIGABYTE B365M DS3H
- 32GB kit of DDR4
- Perc H310 in IT mode
- Intel X520 DA2
- 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Boot drive)
- 4x 480GB Intel S3500 SSD (Caching)
- 9x 14TB Toshiba MG07SCA14TE SAS drives (Raid Z2 one cold spare)
- Thermaltake C120 ARGB 120MM Fans (Paid $3 extra for them over non-RGB because I was impatient)
- SeaSonic Electronics FOCUS (2021) 750W 80 PLUS Platinum Modular SFX Power Supply
I will be doing more videos on this still. Gotta configure it for its intended purpose. Also want to compare it to some other popular cases.
