This has got to be the weirdest thing I've seen in ages.
ProCooling opens a section for "Silent Computing" and the first two entries feature SS TJ06s?
I'd have bet on this area piling up with P-180s before a Silverstone appeared.
That said, a big
Huzzah! to you both.
The TJ06 is a beautiful case and well worth the effort necessary to fully exploit.
Maestro, your intake duct is very clever, I'm surprised the lack of radiator exhaust circulating in the case didn't affect your component temps more.
My TJ06 (Sprocket) was not designed primarily for silence, although lining the case with 1/4" closed cell foam and aluminum diamondplate* did seal most of the superfluous openings, which helped.
My Raptor(s)(ultimately had three mounted) were moved to a suspension system in the front of the case, cooled by a 120mm fan. Yes, the seek is audible, but I did make the conscious decision to favor performance over quiet in this instance. Raptors are not nearly as obtrusive as some would have you believe anyway.
Now I'll make this even weirder and add a
third TJ to the party...
Where are you, Antec guys?
*Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know.
The diamondplate was a
terrible idea from the silence standpoint.
Looked very cool though.
The only real consequence of adding it was the amplification of the whine from the PolarFlo pump. All that time I thought I was getting tinnitus and it turns out to be a damn waterloop part.
