SilverStone Technology Temjin 5

Case Fans

SilverStone's Temjin 3 Nimiz came with a set of four 80mm fans as we saw back in March. It didn't perform the best in the group of cases that we tested around that time when it came to thermal benchmarks, but it performed well enough to maintain stable temperatures for normal day-to-day operations.

Since the TJ03, SilverStone has decided to rethink their fan selection and layout by including a pair of 120mm fans located at the front (intake) and the back (exhaust). At first, we thought this to be quite insufficient, but realized that the size of the fans would make up for the quantity. We felt two 120mm fans could circulate just as much air as four 80mm fans while performing at quieter noise levels, which is also an important factor in PC cases.

SilverStone, again, has not left us without the option to expand. The TJ05 does provide another three 80mm fans to be installed for increased circulation of air. As we mentioned earlier, a pair of 80mm fans can be mounted to the swing bar, which would help relieve the expansion cards from heat, especially a high end VGA card.

The last 80mm fan can be mounted on the right side of the chassis in a compartment on the other side of the removable HDD carriage to increase cooling of those installed HDDs.

Combined with the LCD temperature display on the TJ05's front bezel, the case fans make for a great cooling system. We're excited to see how the case will do in our thermal tests.
