Introduction

Some, as the phrase goes, may say ‘Silence is Golden’ and in some situations this can be true. In the performance cooling world, silence is the last thing that is wanted. However, for those who just want a good computer that performs well and is fairly quiet to boot (pun intended) then accommodations must be made. No chassis can be 100 percent silent as air needs to be drawn into the case and then expelled again. However, efforts can be made to both reduce vibration and sound proof various parts of the chassis. Entrance CoolerMaster;  they believe they have the answer to the silent computer world, so without further ado let us investigate their latest chassis product, the Silencio 550.
