Way late on saying this, but why was the thermals done with a Air Cooler, when the normal test setup is a 240 AIO, there was no chance for the Darkflash to match the CPU cooling of a 240 AIO with a wimpy top down Noctua cooler, plus there is NO exhaust fan to make up for the missing 2 120's. Having read this review over again, somewhat confused as to why the performance was so bad given that the Yogo S1 the case is a rebrand of is a great case when it comes to the thermals, it seems the the discrepancy between the stated setup and the setup in the pictures would explain the bad results. The author even points out a 240 AIO SHOULD fit, meaning non was mounted in the case.
I then went and looked at all the reviews for all the cases used in the thermals comparison for the Darkflash review and found that the cooling setup between them is all over the place. How can you compare thermals on a number of CASES when the entire cooling system is changing between the cases. You have way to many variables to draw any kind of conclusion.
Maybe I am missing where it is stated that he pictured build is not the one used for thermals, but I could not find such a footnote. Also, based on the coolers used and the relationship between it and the thermal performance of the cases, I am guessing that no such standardization was done. It honestly to me looks like you have at 2, maybe more people doing reviews with different test hardware. If that is the case you should only compare cases tested by the same person with the same hardware.
You guys have made a great case (when used with a 240 AIO) look like a bad performer, not due to design or thermal performance of the case, but instead by using a number of data points with more then one non case variable.
