Silent Base 800 Internal Design

The Silent Base 800'due south internal layout is fairly typical for a mid-sized ATX estimator instance. That said, we have a lot of features and elements to talk about. The internal workings take been given a complete black paint job and information technology virtually seems a shame that there isn't a case window to bear witness it off, just once more that would accept been counterproductive.

The case supports three external 5.25" drives, seven 3.v" internal drives, and 2 2.v" drives on the behind of the motherboard tray. Alternatively, two more two.5" drives can also be supported using drive cages that take upwards ii of the seven 3.five" spots.

Support for seven 3.five" drives comes from a pair of specially designed removable cages. Be Quiet! has come up with a pattern where the difficult drives are connected to anti-vibration rails. The new rails are equipped with anti-vibration rubber silico­ne that reliably absorbs any vibrations. Moreover the cages can be configured without tools, allowing for the quick installation of drives.

In fact the tool-less theme tin can exist found throughout the Silent Base 800, as the case features completely tool-less 5.25" trophy, 3.v" bays and ii.5" trays.

When it comes to cooling, the Silent Base 800 is simply as flexible, shipping pre-loaded with a pair of 140mm Pure Wings 2 fans and a rear 120mm Pure Wings 2 fan. In that location is also room for an optional two 120/140mm top fans, a 120/140mm lesser fan and a 120mm side panel fan. The fans have been installed using safety mounting brackets, which eliminates vibration and therefore reduces noise.

Those wanting to install liquid-cooling are in luck as the Silent Base 800 supports a front 120/140mm radiator, tiptop mounted 240/280mm (slim type) radiator or a rear 120mm radiator.

The Silent Base 800 also has you pretty well covered when information technology comes to high-end air-coolers, large graphics cards and big power supplies. CPU coolers can stand as high equally 170mm, which means monsters such as the 165mm tall Noctua NH-D15 will fit without a problem.

Be Quiet! says that graphics cards as long equally 290mm volition fit with the hard drive cages still installed, only we experience 280mm is more realistic. This ruled out the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980 cards which are over 290mm long. That said, if you lot remove i of the difficult bulldoze cages (both for SLI) and so graphics cards as long as 400mm will fit. Likewise, your power supply tin can exist huge, stretching up to 290mm long.

The motherboard tray offers plenty of access for routing cables and comes consummate with 4 big rubber grommets besides as a large cut out in the tray where the CPU socket is located allowing for access to the rear side of the motherboard and so that big aftermarket coolers can be installed without having to remove the lath.

At that place is plenty of room for cable direction behind the motherboard every bit users tin relish at least 22mm of room which is more than than about cases.

Overall the Be Tranquility! Silent Base of operations 800 looks neat inside and out -- permit'due south load information technology upwardly with some hardware.
