Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 Ultimate Low Noise HTPX PC Cases

The Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 (DS6) is a behemoth of a case! It stands 644mm tall and weights in at over 20kg without even a system installed!

Nanoxia’s Deep Silence 1 and Deep Silence 2 have impressed reviewers all over the world and have received many awards, therefore Nanoxia decided to build on this success by taking it to the absolute limit! The new Deep Silence 6 is an enormous case that offers not only lots of space for any PC build, but also new and innovative technologies, like the “Active Air Chimney” to automatically improve the ventilation of the case.

Acoustically Lined Doors

The Deep Silence 6 is similar in exterior design to their other cases. The front of the case is equipped with two soundproof doors: Behind the upper door there are four 5.25” drive bays, a 2-channel fan control (with sliders), as well as the reset-button. Behind the second door is where two low-noise 140mm Nanoxia case fans are mounted. Magnets integrated into the doors ensure fast closing and easy opening.

TOP I/O Panel

The I/O-panel can be found on the top cover of the case. A total of 4x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, Mic, and headphone connectors are available. The panel can easily be embedded in the cover if the connectors are not needed. The cover also mounts the unique “Active Air Chimney” for effective, active case ventilation. Again, this is easily retractable. This ensures that the simple look of the case is maintained, without sacrificing useful features and options for ventilation.

Motherboard Compatibility

HTPX, E-ATX, XL-ATX, ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards are all compatible with the Deep Silence 6 case. Whether you are planning a particularly smooth-running high-end gaming system with extensive water cooling or are looking for an enclosure that can be used perfectly as a data storage server with multiple hard drives - the Deep Silence 6 is ideal.

Almost noiseless

In the course of the many years of development work, Nanoxia’s focus was always on two requirements: minimise noise and reduce system temperatures.

Acoustically Lined Side Panels

As with all the Deep Silence cases, the side panels and top cover are fitted with specially designed, noise reducing insulation materials to minimise and absorb any airborne noise. The left side panel has been lined with a special combination of bitumen and foam, for a very efficient reduction of airborne noise emissions. The solid front doors use sound absorbing materials contribute significantly to the most effective noise reduction.

Antivibration HDD Trays

The hard disk drives of the Deep Silence 6 are mounted using rubber suspension, in order to absorb vibrations that might arise during startup and to minimise annoying background noises. The power supply rests on rubber mounts, with a suspension frame available on the back. The case stands on rubber suspended feet – vibrations are completely compensated.

Manufactured from 1mm thick steel

The Deep Silence 6 is manufactured from 1.0mm thick steel. By using the highest quality materials, optimal noise insulation is ensured while providing a very stable environment for building a PC.

Built-in 2-Channel Fan Controller

Also aiding the quietness of the case are five pre-installed Nanoxia “Deep Silence” fans. This fan-series was optimised for the best possible mix of silence and cooling capacity. The Deep Silence 6 case is fitted with a 2-channel fan controller for up to 8 fans, four per channel. Thanks to the integrated fan control, it is possible to adjust the speed of the fans to find the best compromise between low system temperatures and the lowest possible noise levels, even with a full fan assembly.

Intelligent ventilation system

The ventilation system of the Deep Silence 6 is designed for the most demanding users but can be added to if more cooling is required.

Two 140mm Intake Fans

By default, the case comes with two 140mm fans which rotate at a maximum of 1100 RPM. Located behind the bottom front cover these fans are attached to special brackets that swivel which provides access to the fans and the air dust filters. Another 140mm fan, which runs at 1100 RPM, is located at the rear of the case. At only 14.4 dB(a), the Nanoxia Deep Silence 140 – 1100 fans generate air flow of around 68.5 CFM and a static air pressure of 1.08mm H2O.

---

Active Air Chimney

The innovative Nanoxia Active Air Chimney makes it easy to adapt the case to your needs. Under extreme conditions you can counteract heat generation under the top cover effectively: The two pre-installed 140mm fans under the cover will be automatically enabled if the chimney is opened, therefore the warm air is dissipated quickly and effectively from the case. When the air chimney is closed, the fans will be switched off. a total of three 140mm (or 120mm) fans can be mounted under the top cover.

---

Addition Internal Optional Fans

In order to optimise the cooling of the graphics card, two additional 120 or 140mm fans can be mounted in the left side panel. At the bottom of the case, either one 140mm or two 120mm fans can be installed. All air intake openings of the case are equipped with effective air dust filters.

A unique feature of the Deep Silence 6 is the special designed mounting bracket. It is fitted to the hard disk cage and can be easily dismounted. With the bracket, the ventilation of the hard drives and the entire system can be increased significantly, if desired. It is designed for up to two 120/140mm fans. The vast interior space of the Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 ensures that no space problems can occur here. The Mounting Bracket is perfectly suited to mount a 120/140 mm or 240/280 mm radiator and equip it with up to four fans.

Watercooling Options

The Deep Silence 6 offer many options for liquid cooling the PC!

Top Watercooling Options

The Deep Silence 6 was developed for the most demanding water cooling projects. The top cover offers special lateral attachment points which provide maximum compatibility, especially when using very thick radiators. Those can be used to install 120/140/240/280 and 360 mm radiators. Thanks to the immense space available you can operate even massive radiators in a push-pull configuration.

---

HDD Cage Watercooling Options

The mounting bracket behind the HDD-cage allow for internal assembly of a water cooling system (120/140 or 240/280 mm radiator) and up to four fans between HDD cage and motherboard - without colliding with the motherboard or power supply. Radiators may be cooled without case modifications in a push-pull set-up. In conjunction with the two front pre-installed 140mm Deep Silence fans, up to six fans provide superior cooling performance of the water cooling system.

Four additional rubber hose guides for an external water cooling solution can be found on the rear of the case.

Other Versatile Features

The optical drives can be mounted without requiring tools. Two 5.25” to 3.5” adaptors are included allow installation of a card reader. Alternatively it is possible to use those to mount additional hard disk drives if required.

The chassis is designed for a total of up to 13 2.5” or 3.5” hard disk drives. By using the 5.25” to 3.5” adapter, it is possible to install a total of 15 HDDs! The hard drives are installed in special mounting carriages, which are designed to accommodate both 2.5” HDD/SSD as well as standard 3.5” HDD. Screws with rubber grommets are used to hold the drives in place and reduce drive vibrations.

A second pair of mounting holes are available to mount the hard disks in the carriages with the connectors pointing towards the left panel. this is extremely helpful if frequent changes of the hard drives are on the agenda.

The Deep Silence 6 also features a modular 3-bay HDD cage, which allows additional cages to be installed (available separately). This boost the hard disk drive capacity of the Deep Silence 6 massively. The cage may also be mounted at different positions on the bottom of the case. This ensures that very thick radiators can be installed without space problems or gives the opportunity to mount even more HDD cages without interfering with the motherboard and other components.
