Cooler Master adopt high quality fans in this case and it helps lower overall noise emissions significantly.
This is a very silent system, and although there is some noise it could certainly not be classed as intrusive. An excellent choice of components by PC Specialist. This is the first time ive experienced a Spire Gemini Rev.3 cooler and it is surprisingly good, both fans are very quiet.
thats very nicely put together. good attention to detail.
Cooler Master case choice is good, they cool very very well without much noise., I have one !
Good build, impressed with the spec too, nothing ‘weak’ in it that seems to be them just clearing stock to ill informed customers
Cooler Master cases do use good fans, its a point that I liked to see being made. It sounds like such a minor thing to bring up, but I bought a Xigmatek case last year or 18 months ago and I had to replace all the fans in it. Some companies just buy the cheapest fans possible and try to maximise their profit. Long term it just doesnt work.
