Cooler Master Silencio S600 review - Final Words & Conclusion

Final Words & Conclusion

It’s time for the conclusion. The Cooler Master Silencio S600 is a nice and minimalistic-looking chassis. The interior of the Silencio S600 is practical, without too much compromise, offering you plenty of air and liquid-cooling potential, hard-drive storage space, and GPU expandability. Two versions of the side panel are available. You can choose between steel (with sound-dampening pads) and tempered glass. One feature that is not so common anymore is the 5.25” bay. The main drawbacks are the fact that you need to put the EPS power cable in before you install the motherboard, and the lack of a PSU tray, which would have come in handy, especially for power supplies with modular cables. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to remove the HDD cage entirely, as not everyone uses 3.5” drives these days, and it would also make PSU installation easier. Panel fit is extremely good, and with the sound-absorbing material on the side panels, there really is no resonance. 

 

 

Feature set

The S600 offers amazing storage capabilities, with a single internal 5.25”, four internal 3.5” drives, and five 2.5” SSDs in various locations around the case. You can fit up to a 360 mm radiator in the front (after removing the 5.25” bay), even though the manual says that 280 mm is the limit. The cable management system on the underside of the motherboard tray is average. The tray itself has several openings with rubber grommets (and some recessions) that help with cable routing and improve the overall look of the case. You can mount up to 166 mm air coolers, 180 mm PSUs, and 398 mm graphics cards, so that should be enough for most users. Dust filters are included as well – placed on the top, the front (magnetic), and in the bottom (for the PSU).  It’s also a good thing that you can change the swing direction of the front door.

 

 

The Verdict

Currently, the Cooler Master S600 is available at €89.99 with the steel panel and €99.99 EUR with the tempered glass one. It’s more expensive than the NR600, no doubt about that. On the other hand, you get more silent operation, although the trade-off is higher temperatures. This model is not equipped with RGB lighting and does not offer any surplus equipment, but it lets you change the front door swing direction, which is nice. All in all, features like the clean build quality, easy mounting of drives, and sufficient space for modern gaming hardware speak for themselves. The two-chamber system and factory cooling performance are also nice. The cooling is discreet even at full speed. Internal sound-dampening pads minimize the noise inherent in a modern config. As for the rest, the necessary equipment is there, with USB 3.0, a compartmentalized layout, several dust filters, two 120 mm PWM fans, a 5.25-inch bay, and an SD card reader. The case is up to par, although a set of two 140 mm fans would have improved the overall value. I would suggest getting the tempered glass version, given how little the noise signature changes when you use it, and also the overall look is more pleasing (especially if you have nice stuff inside).

To sum it all up, the S600 deserves the “Great Value” award.

Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower
