Thermaltake Tsunami: A Complete Visual Overhaul

Cooling

Thermaltake has always been known for its inclusion of case fans in all of their cases. Each case comes standard with at least four 80mm fans, which are more than enough to cool an Athlon 64 3200+ system. The Tsunami comes with dual 120mm fans located at the front (12025) and back (LED fan), and a 90mm fan (9025) located on the left side panel.

The 120mm fan at the front is located directly in front of the removable HDD carriage to serve as an intake fan. It blows air directly at and in between the HDDs, no matter how many are installed.

The second 120mm fan is located at the back of the case below the power supply mounting. This fan is a blue colored LED fan, which matches the lights on the door that we talked about earlier.

Though these two fans alone combined with a good quality heatsink could keep temperatures of the highest end desktop system stable, Thermaltake has decided to add a third 90mm fan in the mix on the left side panel. This fan serves as an intake and is positioned over the CPU area of the motherboard. Thermaltake should have placed this fan lower to accommodate the area around the VGA card instead of where it is now, since it only works against the heatsink fan.
