The chassis (enclosure or case) plays a significant role in any PC system since its thermal performance affects all the other parts. On top of that, its noise suppression performance is of substantial importance to users, and in the majority of cases, it is directly connected to the thermal performance. You see if a chassis uses sound dampening material and doesn't have many openings (perforations), to restrain the noise that the PC parts generate, inevitably it does the same with the heat which cannot get out from its internals, easily. This isn't good, of course, for energy-hungry parts like the CPU and the GPU(s).
Since Cybenetics is a trail-blazer not only to power supply efficiency evaluations but to noise as well, it was only natural to enroll in chassis and provide accurate and detailed noise measurements. This is something that has never been done before, and we are excited about our new ventures. Besides noise, we also evaluate thermal performance, but for the moment, we keep this service only for beta evaluations, which aim to help manufacturers make better products.
Our goal is to enrich our
chassis noise level database, and once we have enough results/data, to provide chassis LAMBDA noise certifications. We work our way in bringing the LAMBDA noise certifications in other product categories, besides power supplies, and unify all of them. So shortly (hopefully), let's say that a user wants to build a silent system. He/she will only have to choose a LAMBDA-A power supply and combine it with a LAMBDA-A chassis, and a similar noise certification cooling solution and graphics cards (yes we intend to move in cooling and GPU noise evaluations, as soon as we build bulletproof methodologies that provide highly
accurate results).
