As its name suggests, Cooler Master's Silencio 550 is all about minimising noise. The inner panel walls are foam padded. The front panel gets some sound-proofing treatment too. And the dust filter for the two 120mm front fans mutes internal whirring fu...

Fancy a gamer case with LEDs, huge spinning fans with lasers and glow strips, elaborate colours, side windows, big plastic front panels? Go read another review then. This is one for the enthusiasts, the professionals and the silence nazis. The Cooler...
While this case isn’t perfect, it’s taken a bit of a different take from most cases that we review here, so it’s caught my attention. The truly silent angle is a nice one and with the tweaks Coolermaster have pledged to make, this is turning into one...

Silencio 550 ChassisI reviewed the HAF 912 Advanced Case from Cooler Master a few months ago and I must admit that this chassis left me gobsmacked. Even today, the HAF 912 is still doing a marvellous job, especially at catching dust and being rather qu...

Cooler Master’s Silencio 500 midi tower certainly lives up to its name. Because its side panels are covered in sound-isolating foam and it has two very quiet 120mm fans, it’s the ideal case for anyone who wants to build a PC that doesn’t sound like a v...
If you crave silence from your PC then the Silencio is a great budget option, but high-performance kit might feel the heat...

When I mention the Cooler Master Silencio 550, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the movie "Mulholland Drive". In the film, there is an eerie theater by the name of Club Silencio. Actually, that is about all I can tell you, because as some...

We've tested a wide range of high-end chassis in recent months, ranging from the weird, to the intriguing, to the jaw-droppingly beautiful, and they've all had one thing in common: they're a little noisier than we'd like. Perhaps it's a sign of the inc...
Let's get the obvious out of the way: Cooler Master's Silencio 550 claims to be prepared to take on powerful hardware, but in our experience it struggles to cope with a high-end Core i7 980X processor and a Radeon HD 6970 graphics card. Stress-testing...

If it's too loud, you're too old! I remember using that line on my parents back in the day (15 years ago!) as the volume of my music reached ear-splitting levels. Those days are long gone, as are the days when I didn't care how loud my computer was. E...
So, what -is- more important when choosing a case? If the answer is eye candy and thermal performance, it's best to look elsewhere. If it's functionality, expandability and a quiet system that's wrapped up into a sleek, unassuming enclosure, then this...

The Silencio 550 is Cooler Master's budget take on a classic silent case. It's a modestly sized sleek solid tower with a pair of low speed fans, full-size front door, acoustic foam on the side panels, and a handy hard drive docking bay.
The Cooler Master Silencio 550 is imbued with most of the qualities required for a quiet chassis. The panels are solid, preventing noise from leeching out a side vent, the door masks the the hard drive(s) and intake fan noise, and the damping foam hel...
