Many who have seen the Silencio 650 or even read our review of it will wonder where the differences are between the original case and this new PURE variant. Indeed, we were even puzzled when we first cast our eyes over it – the only differences you will find are the lack of OS switch and HDD docking. Without these features Cooler Master are able to deliver a more affordable product in this new PURE option.

PURE encapsulates the elegance and professional styling of a silent case. For those who are wanting something discreet then this will be right down your street and we are pleased to say that the build quality is also very good too. We encountered no problems during the installation of our test rig into PURE and we were even surprised at how easy it was thanks to the tool-free features and space.



One particular aspect which we really like are the sliding covers which help to close off the front panel controls and the top ventilation. This not only helps with noise damping but also assists in alleviating dust build-up – a common annoyance to any enthusiast.

PURE may not be on the shelves as we publish this review but it should be around £15 cheaper compared to the original Silencio 650, placing it approximately £95 in the UK. This makes Cooler Master’s silent representative a much more attractive proposition but there is still the threat of competitors which lurk nearby at the same and in some cases lower cost.

Cooler Master are to be admired for their decision to cut-back on the original Silencio 650 and bring to market a cheaper alternative but which still carries with it a multitude of strong-points. We liked the original 650 but we love the PURE because of its lower price-point!
