Be Quiet Pure Base 500 FX Black, Mid Tower ATX case, ARGB, 4 pre-installed Light Wings PWM fans, tempered glass window

Product Information

SignalRGB gives you a myriad of possible effects, but you can of course also set up your own to give your lighting ecosystem the look that suits you best. With the FX devices from be quiet! the possibilities are really vast, and since all your lighting hardware supports SignalRGB, you’ll have complete control over it. And how does the PC look with all the RGB synchronized? This is without a doubt the best way to have multiple RGB devices connected to the same PC, and controlled from the same software as we are going to see below. In fact, let’s go with it, and we are going to take as we have said the example of the be quiet! with SignalRGB, a program that is designed to replace each and every one of the PC’s RGB control programs and to be able to have all the hardware unified in a single program. How to use SignalRGB to sync lighting in be quiet! The GPU length support inside the Pure Base 500 FX is truly impressive. With up to 369mm long cards, there is nothing out as of now which wouldn't fit inside the beast. CPU Cooler For CPU coolers and their height restrictions, there is slim to none. With up to 190mm high coolers, it will be hard, or even impossible to find anything that can exceed this limitation. Fans With optimization for maximum airflow, the Light Wings PWM fan is the right choice for any case configuration that demands high cooling performance. Its 7 airflow-optimized fan blades not only reduce noise-generating turbulences but also ensure the fan to provide the performance that is needed, even in demanding configurations.

Az ARGB-PWM-Hub akár 6 PWM ventilátor és 6 ARGB komponens szinkronizálását teszi lehetővé: Az alaplap tálca hátuljára előre telepítve támogatja a rendezett belső és kábelkezelést.

Specs

Everything will depend on the devices with RGB that you have, your preferences, and how you have configured everything with SignalRGB, but next we are going to show you how a be quiet box looks! Pure Base 500 FX with different products from be quiet! with RGB. A Light Wings PWM ventilátorok ARGB világítást kínálnak elöl és hátul. A hátul található finoman megvilágított gyűrű az elülső fényes gyűrűvel kombinálva minden szögből csodálatos megjelenést biztosít. A tok elején és belsejében található további ARGB LED-ek többféle színt és módot kínálnak, hogy belülről és kívülről is egyedivé tegyék a megjelenést. Opcionálisan szinkronizálhatja a világítást az alaplapjával vagy az ARGB vezérlővel.

In the most basic of terms, you will be buying the Pure Base 500 DX, minus the ARGB strip at the top of the glass panel. Otherwise, it is the same until we get to the cooling. In the Pure Base 500 FX, you get four Light Wings fans, which we currently use in our main rig, as we like the ARGB lighting and default rainbow mode they deliver. Even so, that is not where be quiet! stopped. They could have included some daisy-chain adapter cables and made a mess of things, but instead, they offered a better solution with the ARGB/PWM fan hub. 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. Inside, there’s space in the front to mount up to a 360mm radiator, as well as an additional set of fans, as long as you remove the 3.5-inch hard drive cage below. In the roof, the Pure Base 500 also supports a slim 240mm AIO, and in the rear up to a 140mm AIO. In our round of testing, with the system loaded inside the Pure Base 500 FX, we compared those results to running the system in the open air. The CPU ended up with a +1.8°C Δ. In comparative terms, it is better than the likes of the Starker and even the iCUE 5000T unless you ran it in extreme mode. The VRM runs at -6.7°C Δ, where only the DF700 from Antec did slightly better. Our GPU sat there with the +0.2 °C Δ, which is better than all the later cases with this testing methodology. The ARGB/Fan controller works perfectly fine and can house EXACTLY the number of fans that the case can handle. (and yes, the default color of the ARGB is of course be quiet! orange).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. A maximális légáramlásra optimalizált Light Wings PWM ventilátor a megfelelő választás minden olyan házkonfigurációhoz, amely nagy hűtési teljesítményt igényel. 7 légáramlásra optimalizált ventilátorlapátja nem csak a zajt keltő turbulenciákat csökkenti, hanem biztosítja a ventilátor számára a szükséges teljesítményt még az igényes konfigurációkban is. There are dust grilles underneath the case as well as in the front. Therefore, large-grained dust cannot penetrate the case, which can reduce cleaning efforts. Nevertheless, the grilles should be cleaned regularly so that the airflow is not affected by collecting dust. Loudness Although this is supposed to be a mid-tower & mid-tier case with an according price tag, the Pure Base 500FX can house quite a lot of hardware. Down below we added a short summary of everything that the case offers: With the case fans set to the “performance” preset the airflow helped the tower cooler manage temps with the tested 11th Gen Core i9 processor (power limits were enforced, hence the temps only in the 60s), and in spite of the airflow boost (I’m assuming) the relatively small size of this enclosure affected load temps with the RTX 2080 FE card I used, but not to any large degree (get it?).

Additionally, be quiet! re-purposed the two ARGB strips going from top to bottom of the front panel adding come, class, while still looking simple. Of course, the effects and colors that you can select are almost unlimited, because remember that the RGB range has 16.8 million different colors and shades.

A few other things worth noting. CPU coolers cannot be taller than 190mm, which covers several CPU cooling options. The longest the GPU can be is 396mm, and the PSU can be 225mm to fit without any changes but can be as long as 258mm with some parts swapping. We also see that this Pure Base 500 FX keeps the same warranty, where you are covered from defects for three years.

At this “performance” fan preset for the case fans there was a slight increase in GPU load temps within the enclosure (vs. the the open testbed) with these particular components, and a decrease in CPU temps inside the case. Now celebrating their 20th anniversary, be quiet! has a trio of new SKUs which make up the FX world of products, with a case and two coolers providing a fresh take on existing models. These FX products are also launching at discounted prices throughout August and September, according to be quiet!. Az elülső I/O porton USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Type C csatlakozó található, amely lehetővé teszi a legújabb hardverek használatát. Az előlapon egy kapcsoló is található a belső és külső LED-ek vezérlésére.

It’s celebration time for be quiet! as they’ve reached a huge milestone of 20 years in the industry! In that time, they’ve brought us some truly amazing cooling products, power supplies, PC cases and more! While their ethos always seems to be, well to be quiet really, being quiet doesn’t mean you can’t be seen! The old “seen and not heard” mentality. They’ve taken their already fantastic Pure Base 500, and given it a glitz and glamour makeover by cramming some more RGB into it! Sure, that’s not going to be to everyone’s taste, but hey, they still made the more toned-down version too, if that’s what you prefer! be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX The top side of the PSU shroud is plastered with little triangular cutouts. This paired with the incredibly long bottom air filter and the corresponding air hole makes it easy for some air to travel through the bottom panel immediately into the GPU. This might not make the difference between a Good and Bad GPU temperature situation, but it definitely helps.
