To conduct our noise level tests, we replaced the graphics card in our system with a AMD Radeon HD 5550 Silence which was passively cooled. We also momentarily disconnected the fans on the CPU cooler so we were only taking into account the noise generated by the fans in the case. We tested the system with the fans at the maximum setting.
The Steam Castle is pretty quiet in operation, but this can be adjusted to your specification using the inbuilt fan controller.
