My final upgrade for a while. How quiet is the Define R5? Putting it to the test.
Post Body

Obligatory build pics (images are un-optimized and my take a while to load)

I've had Ragnarok, my gaming PC, enclosed in a Corsair SPEC-01 for about a year now. After a while, I thought it was time for an upgrade. After much research, I determined the best option was the Fractal Design Define R5 for it's critical acclaims of being quiet and "future-proof".

My Corsair SPEC-01 was always noisy, so how much better is the Fractal Design Define R5? See for yourself.

I have to say, the Define R5 is a huge improvement in blocking out noise, and it's a lot cooler inside as well.

In the future, I might add lights to the case to make it really pop inside, but I think I'm done for upgrades for a while. Feel free to take a look at my parts list as well!

If you have any tips or tricks for my build, let me know in the comments! Thanks!
