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

Product Information

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. Finishing off the work behind the case wasn't an issue either as there was more than enough space to cram every cable in.

A USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Type C connector is provided on the front I/O port and allows usage of latest hardware. There is also a switch on the front panel to control the interior and exterior LEDs. When you have a lot of devices with RGB or A-RGB lighting, it’s quite easy for your motherboard to run out of connectors available to everyone; For this, there are RGB hubs like the one included in be quiet! in his box Pure Base 500FXan integrated controller that will allow you to not only control the lighting of up to 6 connected RGB devices, but also the fans, it’s a 2×1! 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. Thanks to the high-airflow case design and parts, these 4 fans will set you up from the get-go and allow you to focus your money on other components that deserve more attention. 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 updated be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX doesn’t tinker with the original formula too much, and that’s a good thing, as it was a great case already. However, there’s now ARGB lighting from the included fans, as well as from the unique front panel lighting integration. They’ve included four ARGB PWM Light Wings fans, which are basically the RGB versions of their popular Silent Wings series. There’s a PWM and ARGB fan hub included too, so you can easily control all of the effects, as well as your cooling/acoustic performance. Beyond that though, the 500 FX looks largely unchanged, from the DX so let’s dive in for a closer look! Features However, we believe the Pure Base 500 FX's most important aspect is its out-of-the-box readiness. Thanks to the 4x included Light Wings, everybody, no matter the hardware, can build inside this case and expect an excellent airflow situation without the need to think about additional fans. Something that first-time-builders might particularly enjoy. However, be quiet! hit a little suspire for us. Although the IO portion is located on the front panel and looks like it is a part of it. It is not.

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. 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. Additionally, each additional Fan or Radiator in the front will eat away the potential GPU length. Something that you should always consider if you were planning to use something like an Arctic Liquid Freezer.

Installation

All in all, classy but simple is a perfect description of the Pure Base 500 FX's design. Without any outstanding and remarkable optical features, the case delivers exactly what you need, without any unnecessary extras. A design approach that we particularly enjoy. Installation All of this said, the Pure Base 500 FX is definitely an Air-cooling focused case. While the 360mm Rad spot in the front might sound impressive, this one is bound to the removal of the HDD Cage at the bottom of the case. What other manufacturers might call a cable management bar has been dubbed an “SSD panel” by be quiet!. This panel is designed to hold two SSDs so that they’re visible from the interior of the case, but with their cables hidden behind a removable plastic insert bearing the be quiet! logo. As cable management bars go, this isn’t our favorite, but bear in mind that it is completely removable by loosening a single captive thumbscrew and that there are plenty of other SSD mounting locations. The main problem is that the cable gap along the edge of the panel routes cables at a right angle. That’s great for boards that have their 24-pin power connectors pointing out from the edge of the board, like EVGA’s Dark series, but it makes it more difficult to route cables into other things, like normally-oriented 24-pin connectors or PCIe power cables. There are also no cable tie points anywhere on the SSD panel, which is something of a missed opportunity, although there are plenty elsewhere. Accounting for the space taken up by noise-damping foam, there’s about 2cm of clearance between the motherboard tray and the side panel for routing cables. 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.
