I will be testing the Cooler Master Gladiator 600 (RC-600) Mid-Tower Chassis against my Antec Nine Hundred case. I will be using Everest Ultimate Edition to record CPU, Motherboard, Video card and HDD temps over a 30-minute test period.

With only two fans to cool my system with all its heat generating components, I say it did ok.  Temps were a bit high and in the case of the CPU were close to my acceptable limits.  Add the additional fans into this case and you shouldn’t have any trouble keeping temperatures in line.

Conclusion.
