Just wondering has anyone ever tried sound proofing their case to reduce noise from fans and such for quieter operation.

I noticed that AKASA does a product called PAX.mate for cases which looks fairly easy to install.

Has anyone got any info on this and if it works or not?

Yes they work well, Your system, i applied right, will sound noticeably quiter. However your system temperature will increase by around 1-2 Degrees C.

One pack is ment to fit a Midi-ATX case, not a full Tower case, But it still works very well if you just leave some off at the top of the case.

Thanks

Thanks the review was very useful. Think i might get two kits to fill my full tower and hope it works well although i have a side window so noise will not be reduced fully.

Owch side window..... Good Luck with that .

yeah i know im thinking about cutting the pax.mate down to go around the edges of the window but it probably wont help but im creative im sure i'll find a way around it. Ill post the mod on here when ive completed all the work for you eyes to peruse.

just get some extremely think plexi and apoxy it to the case with the padding stuff all around it.

im talking about like 3/4 in think plexi, and just drill new screw holes and get some 1in long bolts that are like 1/8in in diameter, and double-nut it to the panel.
