SSD cooling test and temperature underneath the ceiling
Fractal Design has apparently decided to roll out all of their cases in smaller designs as well. The latest in compact designs is the Define 7 Mini, which fits a Micro ATX motherboard. Even though the dimensions have shrunk, they haven’t cut corners in other ways and this new case maintains a high quality standard. The kind of quality we are used to with Define series cases.

Thank you for this helpful review. Would you recommend that I add two more fans to this case, an additional 140mm at the front and another 140mm at the top?
What is the purpose of increasing the number of fans? Do you consider the current cooling performance to be poor (is it not enough to increase the speed?) or do you want to achieve quieter operation by adding more fans? With four fans you will achieve the same air flow naturally at a lower noise level than with only two fans, if you now have two fans running at higher speeds. Although the Dynamic X2 GP-14 has only DC control, its curve as well is actually usually adjustable in motherboard BIOSes.
