Customer Reviews
Excellent
I bought the predecessor model to this 4 years ago and apart from being shipped with a noisy power supply, which I had to replace, it has operated perfectly, and almost silently ever since. The system did not get perceivably noisier as time went on nor did any other component fail. So I felt confident buying this model again.
The new model is much smaller and the case has glass sides. This looks prettier but it does come with two large, permanently on case fans and is therefore slightly noisier when idle than the previous model. Not much though and under heavy load they are equally quiet which for me is where it matters. The metal top of the case does get very hot under load.
I went for high spec processor and GPU options for gaming and have not had any noise, performance or overheating problems. (Tested at the height of the UK heatwave!) I would definitely recommend this product for serene gaming.
