Cooler Master Silencio 550 Chassis Review

TemperaturesTemperatures were measured using the same method of running idle and load for a good comparison. We used HWMonitor to measure the idle temperature of all 4 cores of our processor as well as the temperature of the GPU that we used. Once the system temperatures had been recorded, we continued to load the system once again by using a combination of Prime95 and Furmark.

Once the system had been running the two applications for around 15 minutes, we were able to record the temperatures once again at a load state.

Both tests were repeated 3 times to get an average. Please note the CPU was left at its stock performance for this test.

  • Core 0 Idle: 30
  • Core 0 Load: 44
  • Core 1 Idle: 30
  • Core 1 Load: 45
  • Core 2 Idle: 32
  • Core 2 Load: 43
  • Core 3 Idle: 31
  • Core 3 Load: 45
  • GPU Idle: 44
  • GPU Load: 65

These temperatures show that this case is certainly not bad with airflow. However, compared to the Akasa Raptor, it is not quite as good which is a shame. This is mostly due to the fact that they have tried to improve the sound performance and have had to compromise on the airflow by for instance not having any air vents on the sides of the cases or even 1 or 2 * 120mm fans on the side – which is what most manufacturers including Cooler Master are doing currently. It must be remembered that they were aiming to produce a quiet case and not a gaming case with amazing airflow. All in all, the results are certainly not bad and probably won’t make any noticeable difference to you.
