Chillblast Fusion Silencio Review

Ever got interested about ultra-quiet performance PCs? All the peaceful-environment-junkie, for sure, are all ears (or eyes). The Dorset-based system integrator has sent in a range of low-noise gaming rigs over the years, most of which have been well received, and is looking to follow-up with a 2015 model dubbed the Fusion Silencio. Check out this Chillblast Fusion Silencio review!

Price


Priced at around PHP60,000, this new addition to Chillblast’s Silent System’s range are for those techies who are expecting near-silent operation with excellent performance. Interesting, right?


Packaging


Take it home securely with Instapak Quick foam supporting the internal and delicate components. It’s quite no-fragile with a reasonably good-looking enclosure. Unlike the fancy ones with all the bright lights and flashy side windows, Fusion Silencio comes with a sleek-looking rig. The all-black aesthetic front, top and side fan mounts are neatly covered. The side panels and front door are lined with a noise-cancelling material.

Dimensions and Positioning


This Chillblast Fusion Silenco’s dimensions are 220mm x 507mm x 509mm. With this, it suggests that the base unit will need to live beneath a desk, but be mindful of how you position it as the front door can only open in one orientation which is to the left. Take note also that the power button is a short way down the chassis’ front face.


Components


The core components are Intel Core i5-4690K processor overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 memory, and dedicated graphics courtesy of an Asus GeForce GTX 970 Strix. This all sits atop an Asus Z97-K motherboard, while power is supplied by a semi-modular Cooler Master V550 power supply. Intriguing enough, huh? Here’s more interesting observations: Chillblast Fusion Silencio has equipped the CPU with a Cooler Master Hyper 612 V2 air cooler. Ever wonder why it keeps noise levels down to a minimum? We suspects it’s because of the firm has reverted to the air.


Storage


Chillblast Fusion Silencio is provided by a single 250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD; there’s no hard disk or indeed optical drive anywhere to be seen – such a modern-day rig, I must say! Also, take a look at the free bays where you can add drives if you feel the need.

The Main Selling Point (but wait…)


The Fusion Silencio’s primary selling point is the near-silent computing, but how, really, quiet? Well, it is quiet especially for an overclocked gaming rig, but not as much as close to silent as we were anticipating as you can still hear the system’s other fans when the PC is idling. (But as long as you’re not using it, it must be fine.) This is just a minor criticism though, Fusion Silencio is ultimately a very quiet system, and if you’re accustomed to rigs that sound like jet engines while you’re gaming, Chillblast Fusion Silencio will be a gift from the heavens.
