Re: Quiet Case or Case with seperate quiet fans? £90 Budget

One last thing I was wondering is if I should still get a couple of those thermalright fans for the heatsink and case? The Fractal Design case already comes with fans. I would suggest you make the best use of them when you get the case rather than buying something that you might end up not needing....

Re: Quiet Case or Case with seperate quiet fans? £90 Budget

Any of the cases I mentioned above take into account your system components for temps and noise. :D As for the rest - I don't know. There are too many variables. Any existing system can be made quiet - how quiet depends on how much effort you want to put into replacing noisy components and modding ...

Typically, you start with quiet components and then you might get away with a case that doesn't have much in the way of silencing. With your listed components, you probably ought to aim for a case that does have decent sound deadening. Take a look at the Fractal Define r4 or the Define Mini or Ante...

Hi guys, new user here! (Been reading here for a while, just never been a big forum posting type :lol: ) I'm upgrading from my old Gigabyte Poseidon case to a new case and I was wondering if it was better for me to buy a case that's said to be quiet/silent. Or buy a cheaper case and separate quiet f...
