Silverstone sg05 manual

On load, the noise difference was monstrous with the system outputing a massive 35 dBA 1m; the quality of noise was okay, but the volume was incredibly high. When we throw the into most ATX tower cases it typically runs much quieter, but the tight confines of the Sugo SG07 proves to be a more thermally challenging environment. The GPU fan is also on its side right next to the vent which gives the noise it generates a clear path to our microphone position. They represent a quick snapshot of what we heard during the review.

Each recording starts with ambient noise, then 10 second segments of product at various states. The case depth was increased to support cards up to Finally, the front 12 cm fan was replaced with a huge 18 cm model blowing down on the motherboard giving it an additional performance boost. Like most cases, the SG07 could use further improvement.

After unboxing it and admiring the design we quickly discovered the outer casing was thin and flimsy, pretty much the complete opposite of the solidly-constructed Shuttle cases that first popularized SFF desktop systems.

While not a big deal for a home system, we expect it would get dinged up quite a bit being lugged around to LAN parties. Our biggest gripe is reserved for the stock fan — the 18 cm Air Penetrator fan generates an annoying clicking sound at any speed.

Similar fans are included with the Fortress FT02 and Raven series, but they are better muffled being deep inside their respective cases without any vents nearby for sound to escape. A case like the Sugo is most likely to be placed on top of a desk rather than under it, making it that much more audible.

Quieting a high-end gaming rig in the SG07 is not easy. A 18 cm replacement fan is hard to find; the few that are widely available also happen to be manufactured by Silverstone. You could swap it out with a 14 cm fan with 12 cm mounting holes, but this will reduce cooling performance. Thanks to the extra clearance, the CPU can be easily cooled, leaving the graphics card to be tamed.

There is only about a slot and a half of space beyond the GPU which rules out most third party coolers except perhaps the Scythe Musashi or for less power hungry cards, the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1. If you wish to build the most powerful Shuttle-like PC possible, the Silverstone Sugo SG07 is the only case on the market that fits the bill. Your email address will not be published.
