We wanted to test the thermal limitations of this case by installing the Akasa Venom Voodoo CPU Cooler to force warm air up to the top of the chassis, and there is just no where for it to go – and there is only limited space before it hits the top of the chassis. If you are using this case it is important to configure the CPU cooler to force air right to left, not upwards.
