I currently have an old Antec Sonata II case, but under stress (gaming, ...) it has problems keeping my system cool, especially in summer. So I have to crank up all fans, resulting in a noisy system.
I'm looking for a new case (100€ max.) that is silent but still manages to keep my system cooler than the Sonata II under stress.
I have been looking at the Fractal Design Define R4 and the recently released Cooler Master Silencio 652S. As the 652S is rather new, I can't find a lot of reviews about it. So I'm having a hard time deciding.
The case has to last at least 5 years (current and next PC build). I do not overclock my hardware. My current build is:
- AMD Phenom II 1090T (TDP 125W) + Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (159mm)
- MSI R6850 Cyclone
I have a fan controller (4 fans) and 2 spare Zalman ZM-F3 fans.
Which one would you recommended?
Can these cases both be silent and keep my system cool?
Other case suggestions < 100€ are also welcome.
Thank you!
