About this deal

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. 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. Included with the 500DX are three ‘Pure Wings 2’ 140 mm fans. At full speed, they are rated to produce 55.8 CFM of airflow creating only 17.1 decibels at 900 RPM. Whether air-cooled or water-cooled, be quiet! made sure this case was capable of keeping its components cool. The 500DX can manage CPU coolers of up to 190 mm tall and radiators as large as 360 mm long. The Pure Base models are advertised to be “the best combination of silence and flexibility features for a good price”. Based on this review, it is easy to determine that be quiet! has delivered on this statement. With the full front mesh panel and three Pure Wings 2 fans, the 500DX has nailed the proper mixture of adequate airflow while maintaining relative silence.

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. 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, 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.

Inside the Pure Base 500DX, the PSU and 3.5-inch-drive storage mounts are located in a compartment at the bottom of the case. In addition to making the finished system look cleaner, this design also makes building the computer easier in many ways. 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.

Thanks to be quiet! We can use some of the highest quality components on the market for this test. We have a bunch of be quiet! Silent Wings 3 fans of both 120mm and 140mm in size. These are the high-speed Silent Wings 3 fans, which means we have a broader range of speed to decipher the ideal RPM for this experiment. A három, gyárilag beépített Pure Wings 2 ventilátor légszállításra optimalizált lapátokkal biztosítja a tökéletes légáramlást és hűtést. A kompakt házkialalítás ellenére az első, a felső és a hátsó ventilátor is 140 mm-es, így nagyon csendes működésű.

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.

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. For as long as I can remember, I've had love of all things tech, spurred on, in part, by a love of gaming. I began working on computers owned by immediate family members and relatives when I was around 10 years old. I've always sought to learn as much as possible about anything PC, leading to a well-rounded grasp on all things tech today. In my role at PCMag, I greatly enjoy the opportunity to share what I know.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. With the motherboard standoffs pre-installed, installation of the motherboard was swift and easy. We did run into an issue where a few of the standoff screws did not line up well with our Asus Maximus XI Hero WiFi motherboard, though that appeared to be down to the motherboard’s integrated I/O shield. 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.

Reply Although we don’t have another case at this test location to compare it to at this time, it’s clear that the be quiet! Pure Base 500DX sets an excellent benchmark for thermal performance. Its three included Pure Wings 2 900 RPM fans are unobtrusive even at full speed, offering heaps of airflow through the meshed front. The RGB lighting is very well executed and seeing not only two strips on the outside, but also a third LED strip inside the case is a great inclusion at this price. 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.Mr5oh said:Perhaps, or perhaps they are trying to expand into other market segments? They still make quiet cases as well. Most people looking for the quiet cases should be able to look at this and realize it doesn't have any of those qualities, it's minus the insulation and many of the other things many "quiet" BeQuiet cases have. Niche markets are nice, but in general even if you have die hard fanatic customers, they won't support a company. Az ARGB LED-ek többféle színnel és üzemmóddal kívül és belül egyaránt egyedivé teszik a ház megjelenését. A fények működése szinkronizálható az alaplappal vagy ARGB vezérlővel.
