Cooler Master Sileo 500 for GAMING
1/30/2012 10:57:25 PMKen from Edmonton writes:
- Strengths:
- - Quiet - You can even take off the front face plates for better air intake and leave the front grills on to mount another 120mm fan with just 1 optical drive on top. - front E-Sata connector - sound insulation padding inside helped lower noise of 4x120mm fans running at 1000-1600rpm
- Weaknesses:
- - Need to replace the 2 included fans if you plan to OC cpu and/or put a large GPU inside. I did both and the 4 fans inside works fine (2 front, 1 on CPU HSF, and 1 rear. All 120mm). - No side mount / vent for fans to cool GPU but this case isn't made for gaming - Only 3 HDD bays - No 2.5" SSD adapter/s - No dust filter for front intake fans - No need to include a PSU
- Summary:
- I used the included 500w psu for another rig and used the case for my gaming system. I didn't think it would fit my gtx 580 but it BARELY fit. Before the gtx 580, I tried 2x560 ti SLI and it fit much better. For what this is, it is a nice, quiet case that strikes a nice balance between low noise and low heat. I maxed out at 76 C for an i5 2500k oc'd to 4.5 Ghz running prime95 for 6 hours using this case and a cooler master hyper 212 plus. The 900mhz OC'd GTX 580 topped at 80C running furmark.
Quite value chassis

- Strengths:
- -Very Quiet
-Comes with Power supply
-Includes 2 case fans
-Sound deadening insulation
-Sturdy Construction - Weaknesses:
- -Runs hot (poor ventalation)
-Power supply cables are too short
-Case fans do not move enough air - Summary:
- Suggest this chassis for average user who isn't gaming. Putting a dedicated video card into this case will cause massive heat buildup, specifically passive cooled.
Great case for general office use, browsing the web, document editing, etc. Beware of adding 3 sata hard drives, the cables are too short to reach the bottom of the case.
Also beware of full ATX motherboards that use sidemount Sata connectors, the cables will hit the HDD bay.
Great Case

- Strengths:
- -very quiet (compared to what I had)
-it stays cool even with heavy gaming
-don't have to fumble with a screwdriver
-access to hard drives was a very smart idea
-front panel for usb, microphone, headphones and sata - Weaknesses:
- Cabling isn't a Cool Master fault; motherboard designers should relocate cable requirements.
- Summary:
- I've used this case for a year now. This is an exceptionally well designed case. I love how easy it is to add/change things inside the case.
3.5/5

- Strengths:
- This case is a good deal for the price, you also get a power supply (more on that) and is rather minimalist, and of course, Quiet... I also own the Gladiator series case by CM and its much much less noisy, that being said the Gladiator case has about 2x the fanspace and better suited for gamers.
Heres the good:
-Simple design
-Quiet (if fans arent changed out)
-Enough slots for HDD (3), Dvd/cd (5) - Weaknesses:
- The weaknesses only really show depending on useage; if its running lots of games for hours like I do - I find the power supply to be blowing alot hotter than others... The fan in the back is nice because it keeps things quiet, but doesnt compare to fans like SickleFlow 120 or other ones by CM, Antec, etc. and changing to one of those will make things a little louder and way way way cooler....
Heres the bad:
-Power supply gets warm, also in a wierd spot...
-Fans, while quiet arent that great. - Summary:
- A good case for the price, if your gonna put light useage on it im sure youll like how quiet it is and wont need to worry about temps and the power supply. If your a gamer, change the fan to a better one, you probably dont really care about noise too much just cooling... And the space for additional fans is limited - something to keep in mind.
Total:
3.5/5
But i gave it a 4/5 since it cant go up in .5

- Strengths:
- Silent (but still can be heard in quiet environment). Good construction, enough space for most needs, ESATA, direct access to cd/dvd drives and usb, front audio connerctors. I like the HDD bays direction. 2 standard fans.
- Weaknesses:
- Be careful when dealing with the front panel of the case.
These are not weaknesses: too many large bays and only 2 small, only 3 HDD. Probably it will be OK for most folks. - Summary:
- I really like this case. When I bought it, it was sold without power supply.
Now it comes with miserable 500W P. supply which is absolutely a mistake. If I buy it again I would need to throw away this p. supply and buy a real one.
A tip to MEMORY-EXPRESS: this is the only one good silent comp. case in your store. Please supply more of this type and without junk p. supply. I will be so grateful and many others I think.
Good case, quiet and performs as described

- Strengths:
- - Quiet
- Good features at this price point (esata) etc
- Solid construction
- Good looks, doesn't annoy you with windows, lights etc. - Weaknesses:
- - Cable management can be a challenge. ( Not the case for you if you plan on filling it to the gills with video cards and hard drives.)
- Summary:
- I've had this case for two days now and it's living up to my expectations. It's nice and quiet, solid construction and realtively easy to install. I don't find the heat much of an issue and in fact is slightly better than my old case.
The cable managment is a challenge but if you're an average pc user (1 vid card, 1-2 hds, 1 optical drive) You shouldn't have a problem. If you're gonna pack this with hard drives, optical devices and such look elswhere.
