This is the stock test set up, the Reeven Euros fan will be replaced in the same position which is just about in line with the CPU cooler fan. This is the default position for the Anidees AI7 chassis fan in the top left position, looking at it from the front. We have removed the front mesh dust filter as chassis can have different types of filter or no filter at all.
We reinstalled the front and side panels before testing, the chassis is in a standard configuration for usage, typical of the average end-user system on their desk.
Results
We took all voltage, temperature, load, speed and other outputs from this test, but due to the overwhelming amount of data, we have narrowed it down to the following,
CPU Core Max Core Max is the hottest temperature from all cores.
PCH Temperature Platform Controller Hub, basically the chipset of your motherboard, it will handle more traffic than any other individual component generally.
System Non component specific temperature within the chassis.
GPU Temperature The iron forge melting pot that is the graphics card, one of the hotter components inside the chassis.
We have included both stock and the test fan combined in this chart. What we are looking for is a slow increase in temperatures and airflow control reducing or controlling the temperature inside the chassis.
It may seem a little over the top for a fan test, but the gains can be imperceptible to the end user, but still be an improvement over the stock fan. We don’t think we will see large jumps, just small gains.
Our Charts
We use charts to describe the benchmark results. These use colours that can often be similar or even different shades of each colour. If this becomes hard to read, you can click on any of the review samples on the chart to remove it, or add it back in.

Fans are hard to test, there are so many variables and impacting factors. Also, it's a subjective view when it comes to sound performance, and though we used a digital meter, end-user tolerance can vary. We also haven't spoken about how this fan looks, it is not the usual Reeven yellow and black, but a more anonymous colour scheme which we quite like.
