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

Product Information

The front panel is removed by firmly pulling at the bottom edge. It does take a bit more force than expected which led to some concern about breaking the retaining posts, but after removing the panel several times for this review, these concerns were unfounded. With the front panel off, we get a fantastic look at the front filter. 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. With this in mind, we would suggest when using a PC case of this type, to install the system fans to slightly favour a positive pressure airflow configuration for the optimal compromise between system temperature and dust levels. To create a positive pressure fan configuration you will need slightly more intake fans or higher intake flowrate than exhaust. The HDD cage is removable, and you'll need to do so to fit a 360 mm radiator upfront, but so too is the rear shield with be quiet! branding, just in case you wish to fit something else in its place. Note that this shield also acts as an SSD mount for two drives, so if you have a few storage devices to install, you may want to leave it be. A Pure Base 500DX tágas helyet biztosít csúcs grafikus kártyáknak és processzorhűtőknek, utóbbiból akár 190 mm magas is beépíthető. Előre 360 mm-es, a felső részre 240 mm-es vízhűtés-radiátor is kerülhet, vagy ugyanide ventilátorok is telepíthetőek.

Moving on from cooling, let's talk over the rest of the spec sheet that builders will need to bear in mind. You've got the usual 7 PCI slot expansion bars, two HDD mounts in a removable cage, alongside five SSD mount options. Dust filters are located on the top, bottom, and front. GPU and CPU cooler clearance is in line with other mid-tower PC cases and should fit most cards and crazy big coolers.You obviously did not read the review. Skimming doesn’t count. There is official 240/280 rad support on the front intake, as I stated. Just not on top. Aki maximális teljesítményre törekszik, különösen vízhűtéses rendszerek esetén, annak a Pure Base 500DX lesz a jó választás extrém légáteresztő fedő- és előlapjával. A első és alsó porszűrő könnyen eltávolítható tisztításhoz. Three preinstalled Pure Wings 2 fans with airflow-optimized fan blades that ensure perfect airflow and cooling. Despite the compact case design the fans at the front, top and rear are 140mm models, resulting in very quiet operation. Up to two 140 mm fans can be installed in addition.

We’ll start with only the 500-series be quiet! cases, then move on to the comparative charts. The baseline CPU temperature during the first torture test was 49 degrees Celsius over ambient, which only dropped to 45 degrees dT with the removal of the front panel (while leaving the front and top filters in place). The two exhaust fans in the rear of the case are the ones primarily responsible for CPU cooling, and their efficacy isn’t directly dependent on the front panel. Removing just the optional filters from the front and top of the case lowered CPU dT to 47 degrees, not quite as good as removing a whole panel, but much more practical for daily use. Adding another front intake fan to the case had no significant impact on CPU thermals versus baseline for this specific build configuration. The original 500 had a baseline CPU temperature of 66 degrees, massively increased over the DX and hot enough to cause some brief and minor throttling as the logged CPU temperature brushed up against the 100-degree mark. Testing with the mesh top filter instead had a slightly better result with a 64C dT average. Emulating the DX’s three-fan configuration helped slightly more and pushed the average down to 58 degrees over ambient. That’s still much, much worse than baseline for the DX--the front panel really does make the difference. We wouldn’t recommend the non-DX. Rotating to the left we get a crystal clear view into the left side of the case. Opting to forgo window tint, the 500DX’s clear tempered glass provides an unobstructed view of its internals along with a white bezel surround, which continues the look be quiet! was trying to achieve. Finally, securing the left side panel with four thumb screws makes for easy access when needed. Left Side Right A tápegységborítás tökéletesen elrejti a kábeleket és a tápegységet, továbbá egy dupla merevlemezkeretet is tartalmaz. A rezgéscsillapító távtartókkal rögzített HDD-keret hozzájárul a csendes működéshez. Ez a keret ki is vehető, és így akár 360 mm-es vízhűtés-radiátor is beépíthető előre. A tápegységborítás használatával a tápegység kényelmesen, hátulról építhető be. A USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Type C connector is provided on the front I/O port and allows usage of the latest hardware. There is also a switch on the front panel to control the interior and exterior LEDs.You didn't hear the latest and greatest then. Or atleast not the greatest. The PC market is larger, with plenty of poor examples. But when done right, PCs are hard to beat for silence because of the selection of components available. I have a 2010 MacPro and a PC in a Silverstone FT-02 (a 10 year old case) and the PC is quieter. The Mac has a slight ambient hum from anywhere in the room. The only sound from the PC is air moving, which becomes silent at 3ft. There's also the temp differences... much of the reason Macs run quietly is simply because Apple decided to sacrifice thermals when setting the fan curves. The high-quality, fully-windowed side panel offers a perfect view of the components inside your PC case. The window is made of tempered glass with white painted side bars. For all who strive for maximum performance and especially with water-cooled systems, the Pure Base 500DX White with its extremely air-permeable front and top cover is the right choice. The dust filters on the front and bottom are easy to remove for cleaning. We’ve analyzed each section of this case and what we are seeing has been impressive. Now it’s time to grab some parts from the benching station and look at its potential. Here, we will focus on the 500DX’s ability to house custom water cooling components, large air coolers, manage cable routing, and of course see how beautiful she can look. Water Cooled Build

The 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.

I really don't understand why — in 2020 — be quiet! still uses dated plastic thumb mounts to hold the front panel to the main chassis. There are plenty of magnets throughout the build, and I wonder why a few more weren't thrown in. This wouldn't be an issue if you didn't need to remove the front panel often, but you do. Looking at the results, the Pure Base 500DX was able to keep temps within a few degrees of ambient and only noticed a 2°C temperature drop with the left side panel was removed. These are excellent results demonstrating it’s very capable airflow. As you can see from the comparison chart the 500DX is on par or better than the other cases in this test. Conclusion The right-side panel doesn't have any holes for ventilation, but the inside of the panel is padded. This pad is designed to help reduce noise created by vibration, but it's difficult to say exactly how helpful this is. The finished system doesn't seem to be particularly loud, but this has a lot more to do with the cooling hardware you bring to the build than the case itself. We've opted to relocate the pre-installed 140mm top exhaust as a front intake, allowing for our 240mm radiator and AMD Ryzen test platform to slot in with ease. The build process proved problem-free from start to finish, however enthusiasts should be aware of some of the limitations that remain. Oversized E-ATX boards a no-go - it's Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX or ATX only - there are no provisions for a vertical graphics card, and an absence of 5.25in bays means no optical drive.
