Corsair 600T, How silent/quiet are these cases?

Thinking of moving my rig over to a Corsair 600T, anyone here know how quiet they are?

Thinking of getting the white version with the window

As quiet as the fans and components you put in it.

What I should have asked is how quiet is this case with the stock fans?

my 600t is in the front room, it sits there quietly in the background. I have a push pull config too with the water cooled H50, so thats 5 fans (including the case ones and the graphics card). Its a superb case, like the post above - as quiet as you want it to be.

What fans are you using on the H50?

Using just standard fans and coolermaster V8 in mine, hardly makes a peep. A slight hum when you have no sound on but otherwise pretty quiet.

Hi Van, im using 2 different fans (120mm) on either side of the H50, the Noctua NF-P12 & Akasa Viper. I have set the fans to slient in the Asus BIOS - just make sure they are blowing in the same direction. The Corsair stock fans that come with the graphite 600t are slightly louder. I just have then turned to min on the fan control knob.

Thanks for the info guys, ordered the case, can't wait for it to arrive

Would a Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 CPU cooler fit in the case along with the top case fan?

You wont regret buying this case, not sure about the Thermalright cpu fan cooler - i take it you have it already?
I would strongly recommend a water cooler kit - a CPU fan cooler is generally louder.. my old one was like a jet engine when playing a Battlefield game.

The plan was to move away from watercooling for a while. I've got a couple of Noctua & some Scythe S-FLEX fans that remain completely inaudible inside the computer enclosure.
Will see how it goes, I've also got tons of watercooling kit so the option is available to me.
