SilverStone Sugo SG07 Mini-ITX Case Review

Test Setup
Testing a chassis is something that can only be done in a simple way which involves testing the cooling of the case to it’s best ability.

When testing the cooling of a case, we have to make sure that the ambient room temperature is consistant throughout testing and that we use the same hardware components too.

Luckily with this case, as it has a power supply included, we can also test the rails of the power supply. Without expensive equipment costing tens of thousands of pounds, efficiency is something that we can’t really test but we can comment on how stable the rails are which are being fed to various components of a system.

For reference, here is a list of components used for testing:
