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

Product Information

Thermals are outstanding, with plenty of airflow via the pre-mounted 140 mm fans. In particular our test system’s CPU cooler was aided by the top mounted exhaust fan, which was very close to the outside edge of the heatsink and seemed to draw air up and out of the case very effectively. Proceeding down to the bottom, at the left is the HDD caddy. This is removable with a pair of captive thumbscrews and the underside also has a tab that slides into a slot at the bottom of the case. The caddy can also be relocated towards the rear, reducing the available space for the power supply and cables, but allowing a radiator to be mounted to the front of the case. We should also point out the proximity to the front fan mount when in the forward position – there is not a lot of venting with this HDD caddy, so when it is located in the forward position, a fan mounted in the front lower position would have its airflow severely hampered. The front panel is ABS plastic and is bulged forward to lessen that natural boxy-look cases are known to have. There is a depression at the top where the chrome be quiet! branding is located. Two nearly full-height mesh panels provide fresh air to the internal components. Down the center of the front panel are a pair of grey colored strips – these are actually ARGB light strips that, when powered on, provide beautifully colored accents. Front View Left

There is no law saying they can't make loud products, but all of the marketing and advertising thus far has gone into reinforcing that belief. All fans exhaust: 2 x 120mm front, 1 x 120mm top and 1 x 120mm rear all pulling air into the system.

Moving to the other side of the case takes us to the right side. The two captive screws allow us to remove the panel, and we are pleased to find a sound deadening foam pad attached to it. This is certainly not a feature you will find on an entry-level case as be quiet! continues to surprise us with little details like this.

Even with the large power supply installed, there was enough room left over between the HDD cage and the PSU to shove all the excess cables. Other companies with too specific or unfortunate wording have changed their name to better represent what they sell.

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. Customers appreciate Pure Base 500DX even more for its incredible airflow capabilities than its impressive ARGB lighting – something we are very proud of.”

Karakterisztika

For cooling, the chassis comes with three 900 RPM Pure Wings 2 fans that use voltage control for regulation (3-pin). Although we’d prefer to see PWM control, at this price point the latter is far from expected. There aren’t many cases in this range that come with three quality fans included as standard, let alone a trio of PWM spinners. The top of the chassis can support up to a 240 mm radiator and the front a 360 mm unit. That's an easy one: yes. You should definitely consider the be quiet! Pure Base 500DX when browsing for a new PC case. Should you dig the design and respect the brand, the Pure Base 500DX is a solid chassis to build even the more demanding systems that produce high levels of heat. The main area inside of the case is left free of obstructions, which makes getting the motherboard into place easier, and it leaves room to install exceedingly large graphics cards (up to 369mm in length). As mentioned, the motherboard area is for ATX-size boards, though of course the case can accept smaller MicroATX or Mini-ITX ones. REMEK SZELLŐZÉS ÉS MAXIMÁLIS TELJESÍTMÉNY Minden elemében szellőzésre és teljesítményre optimalizálva The massive mesh front panel is a highlight for those who enjoy putting together systems that not only look the part but also allow for considerable cooling to take place. No one wants to sit beside a machine that sounds like a jet engine spooling up, and be quiet! feels like you shouldn't have to.

We use Aida64 benchmarking and stress testing tool to apply 100% load to the CPU, FPU, Cache and GPU for 60 minutes with the system in each fan configuration. HWINFO records the data of the CPU ctl/tdie, GPU and system temperature. We then plot the data in a spreadsheet to work out the average temperature throughout each test and present the findings in a chart for comparison. A Pure Base 500DX házba többféle módon akár öt darab SSD is beépíthető. Kettő beszerelhető úgy, hogy hangsúlyosan látható legyen az oldalablakon keresztül. A nemkívánatos kábelek elrejtéséhez a ház kiváló kábelelvezetési lehetőségeket biztosít. After approximately 12 hours of testing, swapping fan configurations, leaving the system to cool and then testing again, we can conclude that running the system in either a positive, negative or balanced airflow configuration produces very similar results in terms of thermal performance with this style of PC case.It's a clean design that allows for some degree of customization, especially if you're a modder. And thanks to that considerable intake mesh on the front panel, you can kit this thing out with an AMD Ryzen or Intel Xeon CPU without issue when it comes to providing enough air for installed cooling. In fact, you could even go all out with a custom water-cooling loop. The 500DX is also not without limitations. I don't have any complaints about the overall build experience; that went smoothly enough despite twirling a few more screws than usual. But having just two USB ports on the front of the case, only one of which is Type-A, is a problem in my eyes. Accordingly, the 500DX performed well here with a CPU dT not much higher than the torture result, averaging 52C dT. It’s cooler than all cases other than the Corsair 220T Airflow and Phanteks P400A RGB, which are tied at 51C dT. The case offers lighting in two places: the front panel features a pair of frosted ARGB light bars and the inside has a single light strip that provides a subtle, yet pleasing ambiance.

As before, the case offers half-a-dozen potential fan-mount locations. The front accommodates up to two 140s or three 120s, there's room for either two 120s or two 140s in the roof, and either a 120 or 140 in the rear. In terms of liquid-cooling support, the arrangement allows for up to a 240mm radiator up top, or up to a 360mm in the front, though you will need to remove the hard-disk cage to make the latter possible.

At the front on the I/O panel are a pair of USB ports: one being a super speed 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen1) and the other a 3.1 Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen2). High definition audio in and out ports are located between the power button and the ARGB controller button. Now, on to the messy portion of this review. The 15 cable tie points are great, as are the four cable straps, but with only 25 mm of clearance to route everything, this was the most frustrating part of this build. The SSD tray that mounts over the CPU cut-out was fine, but the one that showcases the SSD from the left side of the case was difficult to work with. Connecting two SATA power plugs and two SATA data connectors in that small of an area was quite the chore. If you plan on using this feature, I would highly advise using cables with 90° ends wherever you can. Also, if you try to remove this plate after you’ve routed the motherboard 20+4 pin connector, it’s just not going to happen.
