Lian Li PC-60Plus

Benchmarks - Sound

The other performance meter when it comes to cases is the level of sound output created by the cooling system. We measure the noise levels of the PC-60 Plus at 12" away from the closed chassis with the power supply and heat sink fans turned off. Take a look at our results.

Sound Benchmarks


The sound output was predictably high for the PC-60 Plus because of the four different types of fans included with it.

    btw: when there is CM Stacker case, no other cases are neccessary. Specialy not such acoustic resonators like Lian Li

    Well, in that case, cHodAXUK, I can understand your feelings, even though I am almost entirely satisfied with my PC60. I might get the Mac-like case (the V???? series) if I ever get the dual Opteron board I want - the kind that is EATX and won't fit in an ATX case. ;-)

    For style, subtle works best for me - the wave case by Cooler Master is kind of cool IMHO. :)

    I can't believe nobody has pointed out that this new case by Lian Li is louder than a TT Tsunami!

    That duct is a nice idea, but how well does it work with different styled motherboards, eg DFI's new nForce4 line?

    I'm also curious where the intended airflow diagram went (page 4).

    You also mention that you were worried about the PSU installation with regards to the top blowhole fan, but never mentioned if it actually turned out to be a problem or not ... did it work fine?

    i like the plain case, lian li cases are fun to mod, its easy to chew through the aluminum and widen the fan intakes, ect. the main problem with the PC-60/61 was the front intake. the air hole were too small, and then there was a filter after that. i cut out the entire fan grille, and thew away the filter. so i'm glad this new case has better airflow through the front. i'm not sure if i care for the duct, or the GPU fan. i always window-mod the case, but if you don't have a window mod, i see how this is useful.

    and as for the sound levels.. doesn't everyone replace their fans with nice ones anyways? if you dont have $10 i understand though.

    will never do the mistake to buy Lian Li case again.

    For that money, in Soviet Russia, You have nice car, and 100l of Vodka.

    on photo it may look nice, but in real it is resonating, buttons leaving the holdings and so on :-/.
