Temperature behavior
The well-known Ryzen platform was used as the test system, whereby a larger graphics card was used this time and an AIO was used instead of an air cooler.
General conditions
- 20.5°C room temperature
- Case fans fixed at 750rpm
- AIO fans fixed at 750rpm
- AIO pump fixed at ~2000rpm
CPU Torture
For the CPU Torture test, Cinebench R23 was used in the loop. The 3900X was completely let off the leash and, thanks to activated PBO, allowed itself a whopping 145 watts over the entire test period. The cooling water settled at 30°C after a few minutes, then the monitoring was started. The CPU temperature showed an average temperature of 76°C during the test run, with a maximum at 77.2°C – completely within reason for the 3900X under full load. With the fans mounted as exhausts in the lid and rear, the heat generated by the voltage converters is carried directly out of the case, keeping the temperatures inside the case very low.
Gaming
Borderlands 3 was used for the gaming test because it generates a constant and very high load, which fully exhausts the graphics card’s TDP limit over the entire test period. The 3070 Ti is allowed to draw a senseless amount of power out of the box, and with its 290 watts, it is perfectly suited for case testing. I also allowed for a small warm-up period before this test because the waste heat from the graphics card definitely affects the coolant in the radiator in this scenario. After a good half hour, the temperatures settled down and I started monitoring. The pump and case/radiator fan ran at the speeds listed above in this test as well. While the graphics card was continuously at the target temperature of 78°C, the CPU was simmering away at a pleasant 60°C. The waste heat was also transported outside by the case fans without any problems in this scenario.
Interim conclusion
The airflow works very well in the Ceres 300 thanks to generous perforations and decent fans. The fans used are pleasantly quiet at low speeds and provide a noticeable airflow in the case from 700rpm. Overall, I had at least as much fun with this “build” as I did with the Ceres 500 build. To be honest, I actually like the 300 better due to the lack of the unnecessarily large depth, as it is quite sufficient for most mid-range systems.
