NZXT Noctis 450, is it worth the buy?

[Rylan K]

Hey guys, I am absolutely falling in love with the new NZXT case, and am ordering my computer tomorrow. But I need to know, is it relatively silent? I know the H440 is much better for that category, but I much prefer the Noctis 450.

I really must know!

mostly both the cases performs similarly in silence department.. but the 450 looks badass though.. in 450 u can control each and every fan with the supplied 8 pin fan hub.. to make it even more silent

I own an NZXT h440 and the noise on that is fine with 4 case fans running and two radiator fans running too. I havent used the 450 but i would say that its safe to assume it will perform simmilarly to the h440. I think the 450 looks better and will have simmilar sound performance to the h440 but the h440 still looks good and has good sound. You would be paying extra for looks if you bought the 450 vs h440
hope this helps

It does help, both your guys' responses help a ton! I liked the H440, but they were sold out at the time and then I saw this case. I was 99% sure on buying it, I just wanted to make sure the looks didn't compromise the silent sound.

Agreed! I think the 450 looks like a Space warship, and love it. I am getting the White/Blue version which looks absolutely amazing. I just wanted to make sure it was relatively silent!

I'm going to build a Noctis 450 Tomorrow/Day after Tomorrow, and I also built a H440 PC, so I will tell the sound levels ASAP.

good,just wanted to make sure the looks didn't compromise the silent sound.

I've gotta say, the sound levels of the noctis 450 seems to be nearly the same as the sound levels of the h440. So yes, get the noctis 450 if you like the design.
