5,151We modified the Cooler Master Q500L case with a drill and a step bit, improving its thermal performance significantly and reducing throttling.

Cooler Master's Q500L case runs hot -- very hot -- and we wanted to improve it. We ran this through our same exhaustive case testing suite as normally, but with additional modifications to improve thermal performance by way of larger holes drilled into the front panel with a stepped drill bit. The improvement is impressive.
