To measure internal case temperatures, I used a Klein Tools MM1000 multimeter with the included thermocouple. The probe was inserted into the back of the case and secured with alligator clips near the GPUs for the top section, and between the radiators in the bottom section and was set in place for 30 minutes for each test. The outside ambient air temperature was kept at a constant 23° C.. I will discuss the performance results in the conclusion.
