Hi guys, I've seen some Silent Foams like Silverstones (http://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-21-Inch-Dampening-Acoustic-SF01/dp/B0040JHMH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398040642&sr=8-1&keywords=silent+foam)

 

I just want to know if they are useful.. I mean, do they realy lower the noise? Are there some cheaper foams than Silverstone one?

 

Thanks!

Sold my build..

It can, but only if the case is already acoustically sealed.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ


Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

Would you consider the raven rvz01 acousticaly sealed? Because im thinking on using it in that case

It looks pretty well closed, but before you even bother with foam make sure your fans are quiet because the foam will only help when its already as quiet as possible.

If the fans are making a noticeable noise then it may be a good idea to get quieter fans.
