Cooler Master CM Storm Scout 2 Review - PAGE 4

To test the Cooler Master CM Storm Scout 2, I will be utilizing the OCCT test suite. I will run the test suite for 30 minutes, with both the case and graphics card fans set at their highest rotational speeds. Temperatures will be recorded using HWMonitor, and the highest recorded values will be used for the load test. For the idle portion of the test, the system will idle for 30 minutes, allowing for temperatures to stabilize and the lowest values will then be recorded.

Test Setup:

• Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G65
• Processor: Intel i7 2600K Overclocked 4.4GHz
• CPU Cooler: Enermax ETS-T40-TB
• Memory: G-Skill Ripjaws Z 2133MHz
• Graphics Card: XFX HD7970 3GB Overclocked
• Core 1050MHz
• Memory 1575MHz
• Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPMs
• Optical Drive: ASUS DVD
• Operating System: Windows 7 64-Bit
• Power Supply: Corsair AX1200 Professional 1200 Watt
• Case: Cooler Master Cm Storm Scout 2

Test Results:

The overall performance of the Scout 2 was decent enough, however I believe the case would have performed better with additional fans installed as opposed to just the single factory installed fan.
