The prototype case panels came in recently and I've been putting them through their paces making sure that thermal performance doesn't negatively impact FPGA cores. Bottom line: I've not found any issues so far. The cooling performance of the aluminum case is between an actively cooled 40mm fan + heatsink combo, and a passively cooled heatsink slapped on the Cyclone V. Notice how the heat is distributed through the aluminum case? Before I show you the data, let's talk about how to interpret results. The max temp of the...
