The case manages to remain relatively quiet even during heavier workloads, which is largely unachievable by most other cases. It is this mix of absolute chart-topping performance and top-five performance, granting better thermal headroom, that gives the Pure Base 600 the award for Best Silence. During these higher load scenarios, the Pure Base 600 maintains a 33.7dBA noise level. At these RPMs, of course, thermal performance isn’t great, so you might flip the switch to go up to max RPMs for gaming performance. Our noise floor is about 26dBA, so this is only barely audible over room ambient.

At low RPMs, which would be primarily used for idle or low-load operation, the Pure Base 600 measured at 29dBA for full system noise. The Be Quiet! Pure Base 600, coming from an aptly-named company, has maintained a set of high-ranking and top-ranking results for silence. In contrast to the Best Thermals, we now look for the Best Silence. Best Noise Levels - Be Quiet! Pure Base 600 Honorable mentions go to the Thermaltake View 71 for GPU thermals, a case that surprised us in its overall thermal performance, and another honorable mention to the 570X for stock CPU thermals.įind our RL06 review here. Airflow begets higher noise, in nearly all instances. Noise levels are decidedly unimpressive, but not insultingly loud.

The case offers no frills, focuses on properly high airflow with its four total fans, and costs $70-$80 for the Pro version of the RL06, which we strongly recommend. The next closest was the Thermaltake View 71 at 48.7 degrees. GPU temperatures have remained fully chart-topping in our torture tests, too, with a 47.1-degree read-out in the torture. The SilverStone RL06 Pro only gets beaten when we start adding $20 fans to the Meshify which, of course, would also be outdone if we replaced the RL06’s fans with $20 units. The next closest stock case was the Corsair 570X, so honorable mention there, with its three 1500RPM fans. The Redline 06 maintained a 47.8-degree CPU temperature in our CPU torture test, planting it firmly ahead of everything else. The mid-tower layout keeps everything closer to the fans and exhaust, but the front mesh is where the case pulls ahead: Other mesh panel cases have tried and failed to outmatch the RL06 this year, and that’s largely because the Redline uses a mesh that’s not overly dense in its creation. This performance is a combination of SilverStone’s tri-fan intake, thin metal mesh front panel, and mid-tower layout. The case is being kept around as a standard for our benchmarks, as its thermal performance is second-to-none in its stock state. We reviewed SilverStone’s Redline 06 Pro back in May and, for the past six months, the RL06 has remained fully uncontested in its position atop our charts. No, this award is for best thermal performance in a stock configuration, meaning no added fans or removed panels. Contrary to the name of this title, we don’t actually just point an IR gun at the case when it has literally just come out of the box. We start our awards show with the Best Out of the Box Thermals.
Honorable Mention: Thermaltake View 71, Corsair 570X It is impossible to review every single enclosure that is released annually at least, it is impossible to do so without focusing all of our efforts on cases.īest Out of the Box Thermals – SilverStone RL06 Pro
If some case you like isn’t featured, it’s either because (A) we didn’t review it, or (B) we thought something else was better. This awards show will primarily focus on the best cases that we’ve actually reviewed in the past year. Today, we’re giving out awards for the best cases in categories of thermals, silence, design, overall quality, and more. Cases as a whole have gone through a lot of transformations this year, which should seem somewhat surprising, given that you’d think there are only so many ways to make a box. We’ve seen some brilliant cases that have been marred by needless grasps at buzzwords, excellently designed enclosures that few talk about, and poorly designed cases that everyone talks about. We’ve reviewed a lot of cases this year and have tested more than 100 configurations across our benchmark suite.
