Review on Fractal Design Define R5 - ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - High Airflow and Silent Optimized - Includes 2x Dynamix GP-14 140mm Silent Fans - Water-Cooling Ready - Black by Ae Ra ᠌

I wanted to build a powerful computer, and always silent. I put both standard fans on the intake, put the Noctua NF-P14S on the exhaust (connected it to the mother so that it could regulate its speed), left the standard fans spinning at full power (to create excess pressure). I put Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 on the processor, Vidyukha (Palit GeForce RTX 2060) set it to work at minimum speed up to 40 degrees (you can’t turn it off completely), and reach full power by 60 degrees. The PSU (Corsair RM750X) by default does not turn on the fan at all up to 40% power, and I couldn’t load it anymore :) The Mac (ASUS ROG Strix X570) also has a fan. The result is an absolutely silent computer. It’s impossible to understand by the sound whether it’s on or not, only by the light bulbs, even at night, in complete silence, you can’t hear it at all . At 100% load, there is a very weak air noise that doesn’t bother me in any way, but in real programs I don’t I managed to load it as in the tests. Moreover, when the lid is open, the noise of air and fans becomes audible, not much, but still, i. E. All that soundproofing really helps. In general, if you want a really silent case, then I recommend buying this one. In terms of cooling, everything is also in perfect order, and I covered all the cracks with gauze, including regular nets (see photo), i. E. it turns out complete air filtration and there should be no dust inside at all (I also did this on the old system neck, I changed gauze once a year, and all internal radiators and fans remained completely clean for 10 years). I understand that it is a , but I need it not for beauty, but for work, especially since I don’t see it inside. The processor (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, set a fixed frequency of 4300 MHz) without load around 40 degrees, at full load (in tests) no more than 70, in real programs no more than 60. Vidyuha and mother also cool normally. The difference in a closed case and an open one, a maximum of 1-2 degrees, i. E. it blows very well.
