Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX Black, Mid Tower ATX case, ARGB, 3 pre-installed Pure Wings 2, tempered glass window

Product Information

Included with the Pure Base 500DX are three ‘Pure Wings 2’ 140 mm fans. While these fans don’t have RGB lighting, what they do offer is an engineered nine-blade design touted to reduce noise-generating turbulence. Equipped with rifle bearings, the Pure Wings 2 provides an operational lifetime of 80,000 hours at a maximum speed of 900 RPM. Power is delivered via a standard 3-pin connecter (DC control) and the speed can be controlled by the motherboards fan speed software. Finally, all Pure Wings 2 fans come with a three-year warranty. This matches the duration of the warranty for the case, so no need to worry about replacing them. For cooling, it's possible to install up to three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans on the front, two 120 mm or 140 mm fans up top, and a single 120 mm or 140 mm blower on the rear. Radiator support includes up to 280 mm up top and up to 360 mm (or 280 mm for 140 mm fans) on the front. Regardless of what CPU you choose, you'll likely find it hard to run into cooling issues as far as the case is concerned.

In this configuration, all four 120mm fans inside the case are set to exhaust so the only cool outside air being pulled into the system will come through any gaps such as the PCIe slots or other panel gaps around the case. Három Pure Wings 2 140 mm-es ventilátor garantálja a kiemelkedő hűtési teljesítményt és a csendes működéstThe Pure Base 500DX White provides generous dimensions to install high-end graphics cards and large coolers of up to 190 mm in height. Fans or a radiator of up to 360 mm can be installed easily at the front and the top area also provides space for more fans or a radiator of up to 240 mm. Elsewhere, the exterior – including the large tempered glass side panel – is identical to the Pure Base 500, with the exception of the default top panel. All that said, the price you pay for all of the case’s good qualities is noise. As soon as the Nvidia Founders Edition GPU comes into play it becomes clear why noise-conscious builders would want a more silent chassis. However, most of the time your system will likely be close to idle temperature as you’re browsing the web doing light work. And if you’re willing to spend some time optimizing your fan curves the Pure Base 900DX can be set up to run quietly when it doesn’t have to work hard. Just be aware that if you want this case to run with acceptable noise levels under load, you’ll want to invest in a quiet CPU cooler and a quiet graphics card.

This is joined by two RGB LED strips down the center. Pure Base 500DX was our first step into the world of ARGB cases. And we are thrilled with the success we have with it to this day.
