hey what's going on guys Jays two cents here in the flesh mostly I have no idea where I was going with that I've been paying attention to my demographics a lot lately here on YouTube mostly had the request of you guys the viewers because you guys want to see more things that pertain to something obtainable for you guys well looking at those demographics I realized that ninety eight point six percent of my viewers are male and the age is between thirteen and twenty four so they got me thinking most of the people are either living at home or they're in a dorm and you guys are going to need small computer cases and probably something that's quiet because you have to live with it it's going to be in your bedroom with you maybe you sleep with it at night not like literally in your bed I would probably sleep with skunkworks if it fit in my bed and didn't weigh 82 pounds but quite a few of you have asked me to review cases that are more small they're easy to move around and they are quiet well that's what you're looking for and you're a 13 to 24 year old male here on YouTube you should probably go outside and get a girlfriend or you guys can stick around and continue to watch this video about cooler masters new silencio 352 and if you didn't know silenzio actually means silence in French or maybe it was Spanish or Italian I don't know I speak the American gigabites flex display technology automatically detects and connects up to four displays for the best gaming experience in multi display Ultra HD click the link in the description to find out more now in terms of form factor this thing is pretty dang tiny it is a mid Tower and it is for the micro ATX form factor or mini ITX cannot fit a standard sized ATX case in this if you want to do a standard sized ATX you need to bump up to via Silencio 652 which we will be looking at in a separate video side panel as you can see here is solid there is no window on this particular model that we're taking a look at if you look at the back here you can see we are all black finish here which makes it nice and sleek and again another solid side panel on the side and we have a single 120 or 140 exhaust fan grille on top now moving around to the front this is the part that people are always most interested in because the front of the case is what you're going to pretty much be looking at all the time we do have a nice polished van finish around the front of the case this is going to look a lot like their n 200 case which was actually a very popular case for Coolermaster and basically what they did was if you recall when I did my CES video I said they're trying to reduce their portfolio size by making their product range more narrow that make more sense so they've kind of taken the N series of cases and made them silence optimized and calling them now the Silencio so we have a more streamlined cost-effective sleek looking quiet case that sort of would have been a separate line but now we're just taking a look here all the Silencio stuff is like the end 200 and 600 crammed in to these new form factors so we do have a swing-away door here opens from right to left which i think is kind of unfortunate it's you know just starting off here with my review because most people if you're right-handed a lot of people tend to put their computers on the right and let's be honest here the majority of the world is right-handed there are left-handed people and you guys put this on the left and you can rejoice because the door opens the proper way for you but if this is on the right and you open this you have to reach around it take it to the front your five-and-a-quarter bay may be a three and a half inch card reader whatever that is unfortunate I wish you could switch the side you know a little bit of a pet peeve there but opening up the front you can see we do have here a easy removable fan filter it is on a hinge here so it folds down you're not going to lose it and you do have a 120 millimeter fan pre-installed with room for a second 120 millimeter fan and then you can close that back up and you don't actually risk losing the filter because it's on a hinge now the inch front intake is a little bit restricted because the only place you have air coming in is through these grilles on the side so you kind of have a little bit of give and take when it comes to silence optimized cases if you have it wide open for air flow you also have it wide open for noise penetration noise exfiltration to make it out of the case whether it be your graphics card noise hard drive noise fan noise whatever you're always going to have fan noise even in a silent optimized case because the fans are going to be on the exteriors of the case bringing air in through the atmosphere and through the filters so there's always going to be some fan noise but in this case it's a trade-off you're going to lose some airflow for the sake of some silenced optimization now on the back here the thumb screws are not self retaining or whatever that word I don't they have a specific word for that I first yeah you can see I just dropped one didn't do that on purpose I actually fat-fingered that so they're not going to stay in the case you can lose them but that doesn't matter really honestly uh most cases don't have self retention but looking at the panel here you can see we do have some sound deadening foam on here it's just to help kind of keep the sound muffled inside the case one thing I'm excited to see though is as you can see all of the cables on the inside are black and that's always been a pet peeve of mine when companies will use colored cables because this isn't 1996 anymore we like things you know black and sleek and stealthy looking unless of course you're doing something like skunk works and you want it to be completely blingy and look at me and flamboyant or in some other builds and I'm doing here in the very near future even brighter and more look at me than skunk works but that's where that's a teaser for a future video which I know you guys hate so therefore I've had to do it so pre-installed inside here we do have a 120 intake and a 120 rear exhaust the rear here is actually compatible with 80 mil 92 mil and 120 I don't know why anybody would remove the 120 to put an 80 or 92 but it's there as mentioned earlier the top cover here is compatible with a 120 or 140 and then you do have four PCI slots on here because it is a micro ATX form factor and we do have our pouch of hardware here which has some zip ties some screws more thumb screws more standoffs rubber dampening mounts for your hard drives as well as a motherboard speaker which I like to see it's always useful have a motherboard speaker for troubleshooting and then up here twist tied in we do have what I believe this is yes this is the sound deadening retention plate the top of the case now some system builders actually prefer to not use a top exhaust they like to use a rear exhaust that way you have a direct cross flow front to rear of the case so if that's you you can take this thing and you can actually mount it on the top here just like that as you can see it fits in there and it is magnetized so there is no need for screws you just stick it on there it's magnet not coming off as you can see we can tilt case all around it's not going anywhere power supply does mount in the bottom here you have a filtered air intake for the power supply on the bottom here as you can see it's a little guy there and then we do have on the back panel also that same sound deadening material that we found on the front panel and one thing I do like to see especially on lower tier cases like this where they don't tend to have as many bells and whistles as their bigger brothers is options now when it comes to the hard drive cage on here you can remove it it's not riveted in it's screwed in so you can remove this if you want to get better air flow in there because you do have more mounting options for the hard drives which we'll talk about in a second but this hard drive cage does have room here for two three and a half inch drives and then it also has on the top right here in SSD drive mount location so you can put an SSD on there as well when it comes to the drive cages on here before we move in move on to the back we do have a five and a quarter bay and a three and a half inch bay here so you end on the bottom of this another SSD mounting location so you've kind of got all over different places here you can put a ton of different SSDs or hard drives and still have lots of room now the back of the motherboard tray does reveal that we have two additional SSD mounting locations right here with the rubber standoffs that you just kind of slide down in there and you can mount more SSDs on the back so that's up to four SSDs we can already mount on this thing as well as a ton of tie off locations here for good cable management you can see the bottom here is wide open so you have plenty of room to route your cables over here to the hard drive tray or up here to the SSDs unfortunately all of the case cable management pretty much has to be done internally there's not a lot of room here I'm the motherboard tray in fact you only have about a quarter of an inch now as you can see here on the back panel you do have a little bit of a bump in there to give you a little bit more space when it comes to cable management but it's not much and it's not enough to make really any sort of a difference when it comes to cable management especially with how thick 24 pin cables are you're not going to fit those looms behind here so you do have plenty of room though to hide extra cables down here if you need to to get them out of the way but because this doesn't have a case window on there you don't need to go too crazy with the cable management either because you're not going to see it a case like this is all about function over form when it comes to that sort of thing in fact moving those cables internally into the case allows it to have a very narrow width so you can fit this in a lot of computer cabinets or you know entertainment centers and a lot of different options when it comes to where this thing can fit now lastly on the front one thing I want to mention here is we do have two USB 3.0 one USB 2.0 mic and headphone jack as well as a built-in card reader so the card reader is nice to see it's a nice little bonus especially if you're doing photography or videography you know sort of like I am you know to keep connecting into the camera to offload your photos and such you can do it right here with the built-in card reader so guys that is the Coolermaster silencio 352 right now at the time of making this video it's about $78 on Amazon now the cool thing about this is even though it does have a 120 or 140 slot on the top you could well no actually you couldn't mount an all-in-one cooler on the top there's not enough space from the top of the motherboard and this grille would be able to fit it however you can fit up here in the front if you remove this drive cage right here and use just the rear option you can fit a 120 millimeter radiator or a 240 millimeter radiator in the front so if you're all the one cooling tubes will reach that far you could use an all-in-one cooler like the new silencio series of their 240 or you could put in a custom water cooling loop in here as well but all things considered this is a pretty small space that you can fit an awful lot of hardware into that one just sort of wrote itself didn't it alright guys I'm gonna get on out of here if you want to interact hit me up on that social media that Twitter that Facebook that Instagram and the forms only that forms forget I have forms sometimes form desi sense calm if you guys want to check out current pricing on this thing in a future one if you're from the future please tell me a lot of numbers I promise I'll build you an amazing system and to uh go and check out the Amazon pricing that tends to give you a pretty good idea of where things are at when it comes to pricing as of making this video at $78 on Amazon you can find a link to it down the description helps up the channel keeps things running doesn't cost you anything extra it's a win-win for everybody alright I'm gonna get out of here as always guys thank you for watching
