Quiet case please

[Borgus Bohr]

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my case for a more silent one. I currently have a Corsair Carbide 275r, with H150i pro (360mm aio).  So far my eyes are on the Silent Base 601 from be queit!. Any suggestions on a good quality silent case?  

 

Thanks!

A quiet case doesn't do much really. The biggest problem with loud systems is temperature and fans being used. If the temps are high the system will spin the fans harder and be louder. A quiet case have very restricted airflow thus the fans will have to work harder to get the same amount of air and cooling essentially negating the purpose of a silent case.

 

What are your specs and what is the issue?

5900x, with x570 Tomahawk (mid atx), Corsair TX750M, H150i 360mm aio front intake, two sata ssd. For fans I will adapt depending on the new case.

GPU? Are you overclocking the CPU at all?

 

If yes to either, consider a high airflow system with speed controlled fans. Silent cases with foam dampening are good for three things:

1. HDD noise
2. Coil Whine
3. Pump noise

Since you do not have 2/3 of these (unless your PSU whines) and you can mitigate pump noise with a well placed radiator, your biggest source of noise will be the fans themselves. By getting quieter fans and controlling how fast they spin, you can get excellent noise levels, while maintaining good temperatures.

My fans are running at low rpm and temps are fine. It's more for pump noise and coil whine. When I use Photoshop for certain things the GPU is used at the 100% and the coil whine annoys me. Some brushes uses the gpu and with every click I hear the whine. When I wanna work in silence it can be annoying. It's not the end of the world but I am looking for potential solutions.

The Silent base 601 or Purse base 500 would both be good for that. Fractal Design Define 7 and Define 7C would also be good alternatives

Cool! Thanks for the info
