Is case soundproofing bad?

Guest · May 17, 2014

Hi,
I was just wondering if you soundproofing a case will decrease the efficiency of air flow or ventilation?

Is it better to have no soundproofing?
Also while I'm at it but is the Sapphire Radeon R9 270X a loud graphics card?
Thanks,
Mas

Sapphire makes some quiet cards.

As for silencing, covering the intakes and exhausts with sound proofing will result in less flow, theres a balance in the two, where you get good flow, and still some sound dampening.

Great ok! I'll probably purchase a case then see how it goes. If it's loud I can always add some soundproofing foam!

Why don't you look into the corsair 550D reviews compared to the other ones. You will have a hotter PC, but if you monitor and balance temperatures im sure it's fine.

I have another question. With this case here http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/k350-rc-k350-kwn2-en/,
is the PSU on the top or bottom, will it matter?
I've heard that it can get hotter up the top of the case!

Its bottom mounted, as most gaming cases are. The position dosent increase heat that much, but does disrupt airflow.
