DeepCool CH510 Mesh Digital: Temperatures right under your nose

Conclusion

Ak radi sledujete teploty svojich komponentov, tak máme pre vás tip, ako posunúť ich stráženie na vyššiu úroveň. Novinka CH510 Mesh Digital má na svojom čele malý displej na zobrazovanie aktuálneho zahrievania vybraného hardvéru. Iba sledovanie ale nestačí, pre zníženie teplôt treba aj konať a v tom samotná skrinka trochu zaostáva. Iba jeden predinštalovaný ventilátor môže byť málo.

Conclusion

With only one fan fitted, the case didn’t have a fair fighting chance against the competition. And that at a price of 95 euros could be considered a serious sucker punch. Due to the weaker airflow in the case, the CPU temperatures occupied the highest measured values so far. It wasn’t so tragic with the graphics card, leaving behind other cases like the Pop Air from Fractal Design. Apparently the perforations on the side panel combined with the perforated tunnel ceiling helped.

The metal plates of the case are more delicate than I would have expected with their thickness. I was pleasantly surprised by the tool-less opening system for the tempered glass side panel. Thanks to strong magnets, it sticks to the chassis like it’s glued. The front display makes it easy to keep track of temperatures. There are two components to choose from: the processor or the graphics card. However, its display is not designed in a practical way. The top half of the display is taken up by the DeepCool logo instead of being able to display both readings at once. But where the designers did make the effort is the little things inside. The graphics card holder has foam on the contact surface to prevent scratches. Also, the rubber grommet caps are firmly seated in the holes – between the two plates. They didn’t even forget the two positions for fans on the tunnel under the graphics card.

Fitting the hardware into the case was quick and easy. The interior provides plenty of space for handling the hardware and also for plugging in cables. Through the rubber grommet covers, even thicker cables were easy to route, but the main thing is that they stayed firmly in place.

The biggest drawback of the CH510 Mesh Digital is that it only comes with one fan. For better cooling results, it will need to be equipped with additional fans or liquid coolers. There are plenty of positions here for them, though naturally this comes at an extra cost. We did not find any other, more significant shortcomings with the case and it takes away the editorial award “Approved”.
