Fractal Design Vector RS Case Review

With the case in various forms of configuration we can measure what effect this has on acoustic performance:

Due to the silent nature of the Dynamic X2 GP-14 case fans when in their quiet operating mode, there is virtually no affect on noise levels in any of the three configurations we tested. An increase in noise was recorded under load with the tempered glass side panel removed. However, it was minimal.

Again we see noise levels almost identical in all configurations tested. This time with an AIO liquid cooler installed, removing the tempered glass side did not increase noise levels.

Overall, the acoustic performance of the Vector RS is impressive. This case is expected to perform well when it comes to thermal dissipation, which will be a contributing factor to the low noise levels. At idle, the Vector RS added little or no extra noise above the ambient room levels.
