14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that the launch of Quad FX CPUs affects everyone in one way or another. Exactly after the launch, lots of PSU makers hurried to claim that you need really big PSUs in order to run a Quad FX setup. While that may not be entirely true, it is a known fact that 2 1207-pin CPUs produce a lot of heat. And that's where Thermaltake's especially designed cases come to play.
Armor Extreme Edition and Kandalf Extreme Edition series are the new computer cases that Thermaltake has released. These two series are co-developed by AMD and Thermaltake and provide a unique dual air flux which is said to have better cooling capabilities than normal air flow systems, especially when you install 2 dual core CPUs in your PC. The Dual-Channel Air Guide technology operates by forcing cool air from outside of the system directly to each of the two CPUs and by that it decreases the CPU temperature quite a lot. In addition, two 120mm and two 90mm ultra-quiet fans included provides enough airflow within the chassis so the ambient temperature never exceeds the safety levels. The cases provide a lot of space even for water cooling units with 11 5.25" bay drives and 6 3.5" hard drive bays coming as default.
"Thermaltake's main business model has always been to deliver the most compelling and technologically advanced product to our customers. With Armor Extreme & Kandalf Extreme Edition chassis, we've re-engineered the world's best-selling gaming chassis specifically for AMD Quad FX platform. AMD Quad FX platform along with Thermaltake Armor Extreme & Kandalf Extreme Edition is able to take advantage of the latest enhancements in the upcoming Windows Vista Ultimate and for megatasking PC enthusiasts and power-users who run the most demanding tasks simultaneously," said Joseph Lin, Director of Global Strategic Marketing Group at Thermaltake.
