COOLER MASTER Silencio FP 120 PWM Fan Performance Edition (R4-SFNL-24PK-R1) Quiet The Beast!

Test Rig

Fan testing, at least in this case we are concerned with noise levels, we already know the fan can push 76 CFM and that it’s a static pressure fan. We installed all 5 Silencio Performance Edition fans in the test rig, two on top pushing the air out of the top, two pulling cool air in the front, and one on the back exhausting air. We also switched out the Dual Radiator LCS for the Cooler Master GeminII S524 Ver.2 so that the only fans in the COOLER MASTER Master Case are COOLER MASTER fans. Once the system was rebuilt we buttoned up the case and moved everything to a quiet room in the lab, all operations, noises, radios, phones literally every device making noise is shut down or unplugged including the sacred Energy Drink Refrigerator. Then we crank the machine up and let it run for 10 minutes and record the noise level at an idle, we move to 25%,50%, 75%, and 100% fan usage and record the noise 1 meter from the front of the chassis level with the edge of the surface the rig sets on.
