Fong Kai FK-603 ATX Mid-Tower

The Test

For full details on how we tested, please read AnandTech's case testing methodology.

The Fong Kai FK-603 sample we received included two 80mm fans in addition to the one in the power supply. One was at the rear of the case with a fan duct above the CPU, and the other was at the bottom front of the case. The FK-603 was tested in this configuration.

Maximum sustained temperatures were surprisingly low for a case this size. It even beat out the Addtronics W8500, Supermicro SC750-A, and the Enlight EN-8950. Ambient temperature was quite a bit cooler than all three of those server cases. Even with no cooling specifically for the hard drive, it still ran cooler than all but the Addtronics.

Once again, CPU temperature has generally shown to be most dependent on having a high quality heatsink and fan in AnandTech's testing. Thanks to the cooling duct offered with the FK-603, the CPU temperature was a few degrees cooler overall.

Case temperature varied less than 2F over a 1 hour period. Temps of 84-86F are excellent in any case, much less one this small.

The same goes for HD temp, which remained between 80F and 88F. Once again, that's extremely cool for a case of any size, but especially surprising in this little mid-tower.

Overall, we can see that the Fong Kai FK-603 is one of the coolest running cases to come through the AnandTech labs. With average ambient and HD temperatures of 84F, it even beat out the Addtronics W8500, our previous champ.
