Rounded cables do not lower your case temperature. If you have six hard drives and 20 feet of IDE ribbon cable then you may be able to lower your case temp with rounded cables but not the average user. The rationale behind rounded cables is that the wide ribbon cable blocks air flow within the case inhibiting clean and efficient circulation. My hot spots in my box have the same clean shot to the exhaust areas of the case with or without rounded cables. I ll tell you.
Rounded cables are COOL as hell.
First let s look at some testing to see if our claims can be validated. The Case temperature was obtained after running the United Devices Cure Cancer Program and 3Dmark 2001 in a loop for thirty minutes. Our test bed has changed from what you have seen in the past. 80mm Case fans mounted at the top of the case for exhaust. Single 92mm Case Fan in normal placement as intake.
