Antec Performance 1 FT - a lot of cooling potential
Description
We were so impressed with the Antec C8 in a recent review that we thought it would be a good idea to review some more Antec cases. Today we’re looking at the Antec Performance 1 FT ARGB, it’s a full tower case, with EATX motherboard support, it comes with four ARGB fans, lots of cooling options and a front I/O mounted temperature display. So on paper, it sounds good but let's take a closer look, build a system with it and check thermals to see how good it really is. read more here: https://bit.ly/3RTJKBD
