Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Cooler Master Silencio 352 is a mini-tower case which is very well done and definitely convincing regarding the soundproofing. The quality of materials is on very good level, including the plastic parts. Despite its small size, you can install large heatsinks or high-end liquid cooling systems. The design is very elegant, the number of I/O connections are easily accessible on the front of the case and the magnetic cover the top is a cool idea. | -

| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| The overall quality is on a good level. Cooler Master did not use cheaper thin panels and instead opted for steel ones, which are, same as on the CM 690 III case, slightly curved. The number of grommets for cable management is very impressive given the size of the case. The internal and external painting is well done. As for the cable management, things get a bit confusing. There are several grommets and cable tie places but without the rubber grommets for any of them. The case seems well-designed and definitely aimed to have optimum cable management, however, the available space behind the motherboard tray is a bit lacking but still very good considering that this is a mini-tower case. | - Build quality - Interior Space | ||
| Design | + | - | |
| Cooler Master created a very decent and good looking design for the Silencio 352. The design is simple and perfectly reflects the old style of the previous line. The case is very clean and elegant. The front door helps to maintain a good style and hide the fan mesh. The cooling performance is very good since there are ventilation slots on the left and the right side of the front panel. | - Cooling | - Not tool-less | |
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| We can recommend the Silencio 352 to anyone who is looking for a mini-tower case which features pre-installed acoustic insulation material. With this case it is really easy to build a silent gaming rig, even if you are looking for a watercooled system. At the moment, on Geizhals, the price of Silencio 352 is about 50 Euro without shipping costs. | - Gaming-PC - Silent-PC - Deskop-PC |
