Cooler Master Silencio 550 review

As its name suggests, Cooler Master's Silencio 550 is all about minimising noise. The inner panel walls are foam padded. The front panel gets some sound-proofing treatment too. And the dust filter for the two 120mm front fans mutes internal whirring further still. As a concession towards the 'near silent operation' promised, these two front fans are the only ones in the case. PSU, CPU and GPU fans in any system will augment that headcount, but the omission of any top case fans is notable. Building a system inside the Silencio 550 is easy enough. It's not the biggest case, measuring 210 x 415 x 505mm, but there's plenty of room for large graphics cards and motherboards. The removable storage bay's handy, and the side mounts for hard drives are a nice alternative to the flimsy cages found in most cases. We like its understated visual design too. The big problem is that it's hard to feed cables through to the backplate, with just two small holes cut into the chassis. When this domino's knocked over, fixing the rear panel back on becomes a problem too. There is a revision on its way that's meant to fix this issue though. It's not as quiet as we were expecting either, and temps suffer as a result of minimal internal fans.

Cooler Master Silencio 550 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

If it's too loud, you're too old! I remember using that line on my parents back in the day (15 years ago!) as the volume of my music reached ear-splitting levels. Those days are long gone, as are the days when I didn't care how loud my computer was. Every open spot had a fan in it regardless of the noise rating and that's the way I liked it, by gum! Like my music listening habits, the amount of overall system noise that I feel is acceptable has also changed, so I'm excited to take a look at Cooler Master's latest "silent" offering. The Silencio 550 mid-tower case, as the name would suggest, is all about keeping things quiet. Capable of supporting micro-ATX and ATX motherboards, it has a black steel frame to match the panels and plastic accents. The user guide also mentions a 551 model with a grey interior and an extra 5.25" drive bay in favour of the hot swap bay, though for some reason Cooler Master doesn't list it on its website. At the front of the Silencio is a door with a piano finish inlay and an all black Cooler Master logo towards the bottom. Swinging the door open from the right shows the foam lining on the inside to muffle sound. At the top are two 5.25" drive bays and a 3.5" X-dock hot swap bay below.
