The other performance meter when it comes to cases is noise levels. We measure the noise level of the Sidewinder 12" away from the closed chassis with the power supply and CPU heat ink fans turned off. Take a look at our results.MGE's Sidewinder performed well for having triple 80mm fans. By adding more fans, though, we expect this chassis to produce sound levels upward into the 50-60dBA range unless higher quality fans are installed.
