Performance

It's inevitable that Maker 5's front door will stifle airflow somewhat, yet given that the case was tested on one of the hottest days of the year thus far, CPU cooling performance is perfectly decent.

GPU cooling performance isn't bad, either. Maker 5 slots in just behind the original MasterCase, and the two front intakes are providing just enough clean air to prevent the dual GTX 970s from hitting 80ÂșC.

Noise levels are more of a mixed bag. Maker 5 is by no means a loud chassis - the fans are actually reasonably quiet when set to low speed - but if it's near-silent performance you're after, the stock fans may need to be swapped out.
