Ballistics Report

Pros

Quiet: No one can say they heard the Whisper coming, as it is one of the quietest cases we have tested. The dampening foam absorbed a lot of high RPM fan noise, while the solid construction also aided in cutting down on any vibration noises.

Cable Management: The access holes in the motherboard tray helped route cables efficiently and effectively, cutting down in internal case clutter.

Tool-less 5.25”/3.5”Bays: The click-locks of the 5.25” bays worked great, and the trays for the hard drives hold your devices firmly with no vibration noise, thanks to the grommets on the screw holes.

Cons

Temperature: Unfortunately, the default setup of the Whisper did not perform as well as we would’ve liked, causing our CPU and GPU temperatures to rise. Although the temperatures weren’t so high as to affect system stability, they would make us think twice about running the Whisper without the addition of extra fans, especially in the critical upper chamber.

Tight Spaces: Once everything is installed and running, the upper chamber becomes quite cramped and hard to work in, so planning your assembly ahead of time is key to avoiding unnecessary frustrations.
