Noise is an annoying side effect that is caused not only at the airport by aircraft taking off and in traffic by passing trucks. Especially in your own home, therefore, many people strive to provide peace, to find relaxation. Unfortunately, the PC is in many cases contrary to these efforts and annoying during operation with high noise.

The sources of noise are initially all rotating components, which mainly affects fans and hard drives. These should be decoupled and, if necessary, the speed reduced. Many housings support these measures and already offer ex works equipment.

In addition, an insulation can provide even lower external noise. This modified version of the Zalman Z9 Neo Midi Tower connects both approaches and provides the housing with pre-installed insulation.

The special feature of this compilation is that in addition to the pre-installed insulation mats, additional insulation material included. This is also tailored to fit and allows additional sealing of other housing parts. As a result, you have the choice of how much insulation you use to achieve an individual optimum of cooling and volume reduction.

In the delivery state of this Zalman Z9 Neo Midi-Tower, the right, left and the complete floor have already been equipped with insulating mats to reduce the noise of the components. Four more mats, one for the front, one for the lid and two for the back, are loose in the case or are already prepositioned. These are also tailored to fit and can be installed as needed. Thus, an individual optimum of insulation (volume reduction) and ventilation (cooling) can be achieved. About the exact positions of the pre-glued, clamped or just enclosed mats give the specifications below.

All additional insulation mats are labeled, which together with an enclosed installation manual ensures trouble-free installation. The manual is specially tailored to the requirements of the Zalmen Z9 Neo and explains in detail the installation, gives practical tips and explains the possibilities and insulation options.

Function: The insulating mats achieve a noise reduction via two effects. First, the soft material absorbs airborne vibrations. At the same time, the mats reduce self-propagating vibrations via the housing, above all by their own weight. Both together ensure that the outer sides of the case are hardly stimulated to vibrate. In addition, the built-in fans should be throttled with the built-in control.

Note: Please note that due to the insulating mats, the space inside the housing may be smaller. Under certain circumstances, the laying of cables behind the mainboard tray can only be limited in comparison to the uninsulated version.
