Performance
Putting our components into Milo ML08 was easy enough, but the real question is whether or not the fanless chassis can cool our hardware during demanding workloads. To find out we begin by tasking all available cores during a 4K video encode. Our Pentium G3258 chip kicks out plenty of heat, but in partnership with the stock Intel cooler, Milo ML08 has no trouble keeping core temperature to an acceptable level.
The Radeon R9 270X was always going to pose the bigger challenge, but Milo ML08 once again does quite well for a fanless solution and the GPU didn't exceed 75ºC when gaming. Readers should note, however, that the chassis was benchmarked in a vertical orientation, which SilverStone states is better for performance. Starving Milo ML08 of clean air by laying it down in a TV cabinet will inevitably have an impact on temperature.
A fanless chassis can be lovely and quiet, mind. Our test system can barely be heard when idle, and though the graphics card becomes audible when gaming, it isn't annoyingly loud.
