Cooler Master Silencio 650 Mid Tower PC Chassis Review

Now that our build is complete, we can see just how much the Silencio 650 can handle, with so much padding in place airflow is at a premium so its important to maximise its use as much as possible, I mounted the PSU upside down, to use airflow from underneath the chassis, so any air coming from the front fans is only being taken up by the Antec 920 and the GTX 560 Ti.

There is plenty of room for our Antec 920 Kuhler in this build once you remove the pre-installed 120mm fan in the back of the chassis, but there is still plenty of clearance between the radiator and the heat sink.

Cable management was at a premium in this chassis, things do look neat and tidy but I was unable to replace the rear panel and after a while resorted to leaving some excess cables under the drive trays, seems lazy I know, but I’ll speak more about this in a moment.

Around the back, everything is looking neat and tidy, things are sealed up pretty tight around here, with no ventilation on the expansion slots, which are in fact made of fairly thick cut metal, it would be wise to make sure your GPU has a clear exhaust, no dust in its heat sink and a good performance fan to ensure it doesn’t over head within your system.

With everything in place, the system looks like is hasn’t even been touched, it’s sleek exterior giving absolutely no hint to the system that lurks inside.
