Incredible PC case that packs AMD + Radeon and Intel + GeForce into a single unit gets first review — Thermaltake CAPO X hides the PSU in plain view but remains a build for expert PC DIYers
Thermaltake's CAPO X houses two independent computers, maintaining stable temperatures during stress tests despite heat transfer that raises upper-system temperatures.
Thermaltake's CAPO X case brings the ability to house two independent PCs within a single enclosure. A recent review examined how this full tower design performed while running both systems under heavy loads.
When tested with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with a Radeon RX 9070 XT alongside an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, both configurations maintained stable temperatures during demanding tasks. However, operating the two computers simultaneously caused the upper system to run around 5°C warmer than when running alone.
The cause appeared to be heat from the lower Intel system affecting airflow in the upper compartment. Heat from the upper AMD GPU reached about 60°C, while the lower GeForce GPU hit roughly the same temperature with the Intel CPU staying near 50°C.
While the combination didn't lead to severe overheating, the temperature rise demonstrated that heat management still requires attention when running dual systems. The case's divided compartments provide ample cable management space, but builders must carefully consider fan placement, rotational speeds, and airflow to keep temperatures in check across both configurations. Assembling the CAPO X requires more work than a typical single-system PC case due to the need for separate components for each computer.
