The side panel can house a 230mm intake fan to drive cool air over expansion cards and the CPU. A 200mm Colorshift fan draws air over your hard drives while three fans – two on the front and one on the rear – vent heat out to minimize system slowdown. Best of all, you’re in total control over your system’s cooling with the integrated fan speed control knob built into the front panel so you can turn up the air flow for demanding games. The Colorshift fans change hues depending on fan speed, which will make you the hit of your next LAN party.
In addition, as a result of collaboration between Thermaltake and Nvidia on the engineering level, the Element V Nvidia Edition chassis is Nvidia SLI certified, including latest GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480 running in 3-Way or Quad SLI configurations. Building a system running on any other graphic card configuration will also benefit greatly from the extensive array of cooling fans strategically placed to achieve the highest level of cooling efficiency.
