Silverstone Temjin TJ10B: Water Cooled with Silence

Introduction

Silverstone came out with their Temjin Series chassis back a few years ago. One of their successful Temjin chassis' was the TJ09 which later got upgraded with the help of customers feedback to the Silverstone Temjin Series TJ10. The older high end gaming chassis TJ09 had excellent reputation with Digital Storm as they started using multiple water cooling loops in their systems. However Maingear’s “Ephex” line is using the Silverstone TJ10 chassis for their systems. This brought up lots of attention and made me curious how good could this chassis be? So I decided to give the TJ10 a go and try to implement my own internal water cooling system with the RadSupport09 and with some of the latest hardware on the market. Seeing that the Temjin TJ10 case was built a few years back however, it made me curious if this chassis could keep up with the latest hardware and the current competition on the market.

The Silverstone Temjin TJ10 chassis comes in many different styles. Depending on what the user prefers, some of the most known models are the Black and Silver TJ10, which are named TJ10B and TJ10S respectively. These models come with either a windowed or solid closed side panel. Many of the reviews written in the past have taken a look at the TJ10 with the window side panels and just some of their features, so we here at Bjorn3D, decided to take it one step further and try to build a killer gaming rig from the parts that we gathered over time. To accomplish this, our goals were to have an internal water cooling system that will cool the CPU, but also try to install AcoustiPack Ultimate Soundproofing Kit and AcoustiPack Acoustic Noise Reduction Foam Blocks to fight the annoying noise some of the latest computer systems make.

Today we will be taking a look at the Silverstone Temjin Series TJ10B chassis with a solid side panel. To test this case we will be measuring the overall temperatures of all the hardware installed in this chassis. This will measure how effective the air circulation is in the TJ10. Our second test will be to see how well the AcoustiPack Products provided by AcousticPC will work with the Silverstone TJ10 chassis. Will it help lower the overall noise generated inside the case if it a closed chassis without any windows? And finally what are some advantages and disadvantages with the RadSupport09 that allows us to use internal water cooling systems. Let's take a look at this chassis.

Thank you for Silverstone and AcousticPC for sponsoring us with the Silverstone TJ10, the Custom Built Water Cooling System, and the AcoustiPack Products!
