Benchmarks: Noise
System noise is a matter of perspective. You can hear the fans when the system is idling, however the good news is that noise levels barely rise when the CPU or GPUs are stressed. That makes the BX1 relatively quiet when gaming, though we did notice recurring coil whine. It's also worth noting that DinoPC opts to attach the fans to the chassis' built-in fan controller. Given the choice, we'd rather the fans be attached to the motherboard header for finer control and added security through BIOS.
