Cooling

So how exactly did the Black Pearl perform when it came to cooling my rig? Before I installed the Sunon fans my case temp was at an average of 82 degrees after a 4 hour run, with an ambient room temp of 76 degrees. After the Sunon fans were installed the case temp dropped down to an average of 80 degrees. Either way, the case offered very impressive cooling under stressful condition. I must say that even though the case packed in six cooling fans, it was fairly quiet. The stock fans were noisy by themselves, but the case didn't vibrate, which is usually the reason a case with so many fans is noisy. The loud "whoosh" sound is just airflow.

Final Words

Super Flower has manufactured one heck of a case. I hope that they gain a bigger presence in the market by continuing to manufacture products of this magnitude. I think at $149.00 the Black Pearl is a steal. It kept my rig cool and it looks great. Besides all of that, the Black Pearl has a blue power led.

Pros

Look great, costs less
Great cooling
Blue Power LED

Cons

Stock fans noisy and don't push enough air

Bottom Line

The Black Pearl is a great case that brings some strong features to the table along with a very competitive price.
