Fractal r5 , WINDOWS/unwindowed

[lawrence281]

Just want to know is there a big impact on the sound noise from the fans etc from windowed and not windowed.

Atm I have a phanteks ethoo pro..and the space isnt used up, so it's not entirely compact. And my GTX 980 is on 35c, not running any games at all.

Hey there using a windowed R5 here, very very quiet case indeed.

Got 2 140 fans installed in the front, one 140mm at the rear, a corsair h105 cooler & rad in the roof of the case with 2 120mm noiseblockers fitted to it.

I run the case fans on the medium setting from the built in fan controller all the time with the front door closed, the cpu idles at 25 degrees c and ramps up to 50 degrees c when I am converting video files.

Got a Gtx Titan installed which idles at 26 degrees c and ramps up to 80 degrees c when under load playing games.

Plus I am using the 5 drive bay section mounted in the bottom of the case.

Like I said the case is very quiet, even if you keep the door open on the front of the case.

Hope this helps

Cheers all

Thinking about going for one of these, As I want a case that's a bit quieter, I have a Corsair air 540 atm, R5 looks a bit classier too imo.

Almost finished my rebuild and moving it to this case, it deffo is better and better to relocate cages and such and such a smaller and compact case
