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

Product Information

The case itself is made up of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) steel and tempered glass for the side panel. Don’t try installing a 280 mm unit at the top of the chassis, as although it does support two 140mm fans, there is only 31mm between the motherboard and the top of the chassis.

The internal layout of the Pure Base 500DX is about as bog-standard as it gets, and that’s a good thing. A képek csak tájékoztató jellegűek és tartalmazhatnak tartozékokat, amelyek nem szerepelnek az alapcsomagban. Firstly, and in keeping with the high-airflow theme, the number of pre-installed 140mm Pure Wings 2 fans has been upped from two to three.

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. There are plenty of options to customize the PC, too, including up to a 360 mm radiator on the front — perfect for custom water-cooling loops — and there are more holes than I could count for cable management to keep the overall finish looking clean.

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. Even if you're familiar with the Pure Base 500, it's worth going over these substantial improvements as it switches things up considerably.Sticking with a hint of orange to the theme of our build, the system will be based on the new AMD B550 platform in the shape of the B550 Aorus Master motherboard from Gigabyte, paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X CPU, 16 GB of Aorus RGB memory and an Aorus RX 5700 XT graphics card. 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 front panel LEDs are connected with spring-loaded pins, so the panel can be removed without unplugging any cables.

One of the magnets on our non-DX sample slightly overlapped the foam pad, doubling the height of the filter at that corner and making it stick up noticeably.Everything fit snuggly, and the sheer number of holes on the rear of the motherboard tray for cable management is a joy to see. The cover is designed purely for noise suppression rather than filtration (check the noise testing section for more detail), so in our book it’s a straight downgrade from just leaving the top of the case bare, especially since most cases end up being quieter on lower RPM fans that don’t have to fight as much impedance. We used this with the Ryzen 9 3900X and it handled the processor without breaking a sweat, and since this case allows for a 360 mm radiator on the front, the AIO was a perfect addition.
