Since moving to Fractal Design Define (i.e. soundproofed) version 4/5/6/7 cases over the past ~10 years, the only noise I ever hear anymore is from the fans, primarily GPU and case fans when running heavier jobs. In my main system I have 6 spinning rust drives (8-16TB from various manufacturers) running 24/7 and I never hear them, even during heavy read/writes... and I often sleep on the couch nearby ;)
- wellthisisgreat 6y agoI actually have Fractal Define 7XL but am hesitant to get HDDs bc haven’t used them for some 10 years. Does FD7 isolate HDD noise to the level of for example AIO noise?
- glenneroo 6y agoI'd recommend checking out some YouTube reviews in regards to water-cooling, several have talked about AIO but I skipped over those parts. I don't have AIO but if you want to keep absolutely silent, I would suggest mounting AIO fan-kit in the front of the 7XL instead of up top since that requires removing some of the critical soundproofing.
