To test the Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced we will be using the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T CPU in conjunction with an ASRock Fatal1ty Professional 990FX motherboard.  To cool the CPU we will be using a Cooler Master Hyper 612S

For our temperature tests, we used Prime95 and Furmark to load the system for 15 minutes and then recorded our results.  We then restarted the system and left it idling at the desktop for 15 minutes before recording the  results.  The ambient temperature was maintained at 18c for the duration of the tests.

We are very impressed with the temperatures recorded, especially the GPU result which was excellent compared to other cases we've looked at in recent months. We put this down to the extra cool air supplied to the card by the GPU shroud.

For our noise level tests we replaced the AMD Radeon HD 6950 graphics card with a passively cooled HIS Radeon HD 5550 Silence.  We also turned off the CPU fan momentarily so we could be sure that the noise generated was only from the case fans.

One price you usually pay for ‘High Air Flow' is noise.  But thanks to the use of very large fans, Cooler Master has managed to keep the fan noise reasonably low.  Sure, it's still quite audible but it's considerably quieter than many cases on the market.
