Review on SilverStone Technology CS380B-X V2.0: The Ultimate 8-Bay Compact ATX Tower Case in Black by Elvis Bragg

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Drives keep overheating

I expected more from SilverStone, this thing sucks. I have all 8 drive bays full and they consistently hit over 60°C. I even moved it so it was right in front of my AC, which helped but wasn't enough. If you intend to fill all bays with drives, avoid doing so at all costs. Unless you fill up all the drive bays I don't see why you would even care about this thing as there are better options at a lower price. I'll look for a 3U or 4U chassis to replace this one and then probably throw this thing away. The main (almost only) benefit is hot-swappable trays, and they're useless if you can't cool them.

Pros
  • Includes three 120mm fans with filtered intakes
Cons
  • Not sure
