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

Product Information

To ensure any change of the ambient temperature in the test room does not adversely affect the results of the test, all average temperature measurements displayed in the comparison data are presented as Delta T, which means we deduct the ambient room temperature from the average component temperature to calculate the Delta. Throughout testing, the ambient temperature of the test room remains between 21-23⁰C. That is what the review says. Unlike most be quiet! cases, this one doesn't dampen noise levels from internal components. All fans intake: 2 x 120mm front, 1 x 120mm top and 1 x 120mm rear all pulling air into the system. 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.

Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX Black, Mid Tower ATX case, ARGB, 3

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.

Characteristics

That’s one nice looking case. Do you know if they’ll be offering a sku without a window to my crap cable management? Reply 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. So, to find out which, if any, airflow configuration is optimal for your system temperature, we have built a system inside the new be quiet! Pure Base 500DX high airflow chassis and tested almost every fan configuration possible, including high positive pressure, negative pressure and balanced airflow configurations. We also tried two extreme fan configurations which we expect to have a negative impact on the system temperature, one with all fans pulling air into the case and one with all fans as exhausts.

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. There is sufficient room for up to two 140 mm fans above the installed system board (one is pre-mounted), be quiet! does not list 240/280 mm radiator support for the top. 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. During stress testing the AMD Ryzen 3600X processor is configured using the motherboard BIOS with a fixed Core frequency and voltage to ensure consistency of the results, all systems fan speeds are fixed to 1200RPM. The core frequency of the Ryzen 3600X is configured to 4.2GHz across all cores and vcore is fixed at 1.275v.

The be quiet! Pure Base 500DX White is optimized for high cooling performance and designed for those who seek high airflow. 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. But you don't need to be an expert in advertising to realize that naming your company Be Quiet! pigeonholes you into creating a certain kind of product. Given that the 500 and 500DX share essentially the same underlying steel frame, it is worth revisiting our original review for a more thorough overview. Those familiar with the form factor will immediately notice one key change; the solid, airflow-restricting front fascia of the Pure Base 500 has been swapped out for a panel lined with two large mesh inserts.

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. 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. 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.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. Három Pure Wings 2 140 mm-es ventilátor garantálja a kiemelkedő hűtési teljesítményt és a csendes működést 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.
