Thermaltake Armor A30 Case Review

The Top, Bottom, and Rear Panels

The top panel of the A30 is shown in Figure 6. It comes with a huge 230 mm fan (Thermaltake TT-2020, 800 rpm, 15 dBA), which glows blue when turned on. This fan uses a standard peripheral power connector, so you can’t monitor its speed. Something we can’t understand is why Thermaltake calls this fan “230 mm,” since its actual size is 190 mm, and it is smaller than 200 mm fans available on cases from other brands. If you read the part number of this fan (TT-2020), you can easily infer that this is a 200 mm part.

The bottom panel, seen in Figure 7, doesn’t have any remarkable feature.

The rear panel and the interior of the Thermaltake Armor A30 are painted black. This case has four expansion slots featuring vented covers, and the power supply is installed on the top part of the rear panel.

There are two 60 mm fans (Thermaltake TT-6025, 1,500 rpm, 18 dBA) on the rear panel, and they also use standard peripheral power connectors. A hole above the expansion slots is available for you to pass the cable of the front USB 3.0 port, because it needs to be installed on a USB 3.0 port available at the motherboard rear panel.
