I've had this case for a little over a year and I absolutely love it. It's still more quiet than any case I've had previously, but the thermals are great. All for a decent price. And the white design is just killer.

Congratulations 👆👆👆 You won 🥇 🥇🥇🥇

[@geoffreyveale7715]

Basic method of getting a quite case is good ventilation, and many high quality low noise fans running slowly. Modern PC systems with high end processors and graphics cannot survive in a case with small openings. Fan choice is extremely important and best to over spec the CPU cooler so its fan(s) can run slow. Do not skimp on the power supply as the internal power supply fan can cause excess noise if running near max output.

Since its release, i think that the 500DX is the case I sold the most at my shop, really easy to build in, the build quality that we can expect from a big manufacturer like Be Quiet, fits almost any components, pretty good ventilation ( built a few with 5900X/5950X and 3080's with no heat problem when we add a few fans, just the right amount of RGB. And the most important for our customers, HOLY SH*T it's affordable !

I just built in this case a few days ago with a 360 rad in front, you will need tubes at the top if you want to keep the drive cage. Using the pure loop 360 the tubes wouldn't even reach the bottom around the gpu though, and I assume this is likely the "case" for most 360 aio's.

I recommended this case to a friend a few months back just because of the bequiet name, since I've got their fans and an air cooler. He really liked it, I looked up some more in-depth reviews such as at Gamers Nexus and got my own one just about a week ago to build an entirely new system (excluding SSDs and HDDs and the cpu cooler from the last one). This was my first time where I built a computer completely from scratch with my own hands, not just replacing some parts. It took an entire evening and most of the night due to my inexperience, but it turned out pretty good in the end.

[@cartermaloof4980]

I have this case in black and I love it, the mix between great airflow, easy to use, shrouded PSU, great fans, affordable price, it's fantastic for what I needed. Great to see you review this Case Jay.

[@PommieUsian]

About 15 months ago, I got this exact case. The airflow and quiet nature are phenomenal and the RGB is nice. I couldn't be happier with this case - I've become a bit of a be quiet fanboy as my CPU cooler is from be quiet and while I got a three-pack of bog-standard fans for exhausting through the top, I did as Jay recommended and moved one of the included fans to the front for air draw purposes. You really can't beat the combination of value, air flow, looks, and (lack of) noise. You won't be disappointed with this case!

You are absolutely right with the cable channel. I did a build in this and using custom Cable Mod cables was horrible since my 24 pin was right next to that cable channel. It forces the cable to do a hard bend to plug in.

[@donkeysunited]

I was thinking the same. It might work if the 24 pin connector was a right angle off the MB but it'd be horrible if it was pointing straight up. Also, my Seasonic PSU has a hard material wrapped around the cables near the 24 pin plug and that absolutely will not bend. This L-bend looks like a cheap alternative to using rubber grommets.

You can run a 360 radiator and move the HDD cage to the back. There are threaded holes prepared to just mount it on that position.

I have an old CM Storm Enforcer case. 11 year old design, but an included 200mm intake fan. I added another 200mm fan to the top rear of the case as exhaust. Incredible airflow and dead silent. So to make a quiet case just use 200mm intake front and 140mm rear exhaust. Quiet is easy, larger slower moving fans.

[@johnsteburg5880]

Just used this case for a nephew's graduation build present. Plenty of space for a 3080 and a Noctua NH-D15. We added 6 Lightnings 140mm fans with the ARGB hub and fan hub. The only quirk was the extension cables which were connected to the MB before it was installed. After that cable management is a breeze.

One of the reasons why I went with "Be Quiet" this time for my case.. is some of them are very modular in design to the point you can custom make your case into what you want it to be.. for me the big plus side was my case is able to flip the motherboard upside down to have the case sitting on my left side ..also providing better thermal cooling for the graphics card (plus you can actually enjoy the design that is normally under the card)..

Nice, but suffers from the same problem my Cooler Master H500 ARGB has- only a 240 radiator up top, not a 280. Maybe not a big deal with a custom water loop where you can put a 360 up front too, but with an AIO the best place is up top exhausting - and a 360 or 280 AIO up there makes more sense. You can get a 280 FAN up there, but not the radiator too... I know, the front, the front... yea blow hot air into the case... I think the best use case here is an air cooled setup... nice and compact.

[@penedrador]

many tests have shown that an AiO in the Front does not really affect the temps of the other parts. so I don't see the Problem with that

[@donkeysunited]

@@penedrador True. As long as the air being blown in is cooler than the air in the case, then the airflow will have a positive cooling effect. But you need to get some airflow across the GPU to push its warm air out the back of the case. If using an intake AIO on the front, I think some high pressure fans would be better.

[@tzviasegal3003]

I'll stick with exhausting hot air. Yea I keep hearing it doesn't matter, but my gut tells me that the cooler you keep the insides, the cooler the end result... Heck I see in summer, my rig is hotter because I can only get the room so cool when it's 108f outside... those extra degrees make a difference in the rig's temps, so I am not going to add to it if I can help it. Also trying this time around, to like the AIO enough to not go back to my custom loop, too much work, I would rather use the rig and not mess with it because it is never perfect LOL... but I just might because of the tinker-addiction. Then I would have to put my 360 up front.

What's your fan arrangement? If you leave it at stock, the 2 exhaust fans will steal all the air away from your GPU, making it work its fans harder and louder. I'm also wondering what the seal is like around the TG panel in this case as I don't see any cushioning around it.

to anyone interested in this case they just released an updated version called pure base 500 fx its pretty much the same thing but with built in RGB lightwings fans and they are running a promo that makes the case 119usd up till the end of month (149 normal msrp)

[@sL1NK]

Built my friend a PC in this case a week ago, it's pretty nice to build in but still not a Phanteks case haha. That HDD tray can be adjusted to sit a bit back so an AIO fits on the front btw.

[@miguelangeldominguezbriant9178]

Two years with it, love it, de rgb is súper sweet and the rainbow cascade is really smooth, my doughter lotes it. You forget that it has a rgb line up the glass pannel that follows the front rgb. Pretty sweet

All Be Quiet! products I have got (fans and air cooler) are very good quality and show attention to detail. This case is really interesting.

i've had this case for around 1.5 years now, added a couple extra 140mm pure wings 2 for extra intake and exhaust as well as a scythe fuma 2, the PC is DEAD quiet even at full load i was really impressed

[@dantheman7357]

Hi JayZ, wow , this is the first PC Case that I have gotten really excited about. Its practical, affordable, buildable, and is has no exotic and unnecessary elements to it. Great review, as usual.

Bought this case 2 years ago for a silent office PC build. Still very pleased with it

[@furikuri005]

I have a 2 year old build and need a few upgrades so watching you talk about cases or components really helps me think about my options but also keeps me informed about whats available. Thanks Jay and team!

[@scotchbreit13]

I have a full custom loop in that case. Performance is amazing. Build quality is good, especially for the price. Easy to build in. Simple, but not boring looks. The RGB in the front looks crisp and diffused. Very very happy with the purchase. The top fits only 240mm radiator though. Front with 360. never getting over 50C -ish gpu and cpu under full load with fans mostly not even ramping up. Amazing. Would buy again 11/10.

[@maxderman447]

I did custom loop watercooling in this case! 360mm rad fits in the front (took out the hard drive cage and velcroed my hard drive next to the PSU), 240mm rad fits in the top (was able to screw in 4 of the 8 screws lol), used a 140mm fan mount EK resevoir/pump at the rear. Everything is a squeeze but my 3080 FE and 5800x3D run nice and cool and quiet!!

[@TimTimNL]

My partner just got this case today for her build, Great case to build in, Had slight issue with the PSU bracket plate and the screws lining up correctly but other then that well worth its money. If you want to control the leds with software you are going to need a argb5v header not the 4pin rgb header most mobo come with.

[@EscDogAlt]

Be Quiet cases are very thoughtful. The removable mounting plates, the psu enclosure, lots of tie points. It feels like the company spends a lot of time in using their prototypes and working out the kinks.

[@michaelcarney7299]

Very much enjoy how my system looks in the case. Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE is what I am currently using with LL120 and ML140 fans throughout the build.

[@curtismariani6303]

I love this case. I have a black one with a 360 AIO fitted. I found it really easy to build in, so much so that I used the white version for my wife’s build. She has a 240 AIO fitted up top with plenty of room for the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB memory. Cannot recommend enough 😀.

[@LutzHardstyle]

Rockin‘ a 500DX with a 360 rad in the front and a 240 rad at the top. RAM clearance with the top rad came down to a few millimeters. Great case with awesome build possibilities in a relatively small form factor.

[@SOG98]

I have one in Black and put a Noctua NH U12S AM4 in it. It does what it is supposed to and keeps everything nice and cool. Happy with my purchase.

[@philosophergamer9408]

I built my first computer over a year ago, and this is the case I chose. It wasn't my first choice, but for right now I couldn't see giving it up for something else. I love it. I only have three problems so far with it: 1) the power button is a bit wonky, having to press off-center to get it to work, but it works; 2) the LED lights kinda stutter from time to time, and 3) the front of the case is really hard to pull off, which is intimidating for someone new to building. I do wish it was slightly bigger, but just slightly, for cables. But I love this case.

[@2JZUL8R14]

Case reviews are my personal favorite content of yours. Love this stuff

In the Lian Li Lancool II the inside of the case will drop 2-3 degrees C when I remove the mesh on top even though it's acting as an exhaust. I think those screens impede a lot more outgoing airflow than people realize.

[@jefferystube]

I have this on my desk and see it every day, but I don't think to clean my filters till I see it on KZbin... It was my first build in ten years and it was pretty painless. Watched your videos on cable management and air pressure while planning the build.

[@Drahko12]

I have this case and it has excellent air flow and is decently quiet. I wanted it for the rgb because I was tired of using a software. Rgb is really nice. Is overall a good case and probably the only case I need for a long time

[@demacherius1]

I love my black 500DX. The only "mod" I did was to remove the holder for HDD so I can have more airflow from the front.

[@leonidastankiangaming]

I always loved mesh panel chassis. I highly advise keeping an air purifier by your PC if you want to eliminate the use of filters to improve airflow without worrying too much about dust buildup. I understand dust buildup is one of the reasons for using filters and avoiding mesh panels, but when you take proper care of your system, the cleanup is very minimal. The only part of my PC that has a fan filter is the PSU intake. Everything else is fine with the way I have my airflow configured. It takes a really long time for any kind of dust buildup to be noticeable. It's been close to a year since the last time I needed to clean my PC. I check on it every day and barely see any dust buildup.

[@SinnfullDuck]

I've had the same old cooler master case since 2008. I'm upgrading my system this year and decided to finally pick up a new case rather than putting fresh parts in an ancient box. This case looks like the winner for me. I love the look of it and it comes with 3 fans which seems to be a hard thing to find at a decent price point. Thanks for turning me onto to this one Jay!

[@lewisner]

I'm still running a HAF-X, MSI Gaming 9 X99S and an i7 5960x from 2015.

[@evankirschenmann4653]

I used to have a build in this case before I switched to ITX, and hands down this was my favorite case to build in ever

[@stevefaust3532]

I have this exact case, mounted the radiator to the front and have fans pulling air in from the front, exhaust out the top and rear, with a 5950x I'm seeing idle temps down in the mid to low 30c's (93.2f), and coupled with a BeQuiet PSU, it's quiet. Really quiet

[@StephanN92]

Built three PC's in this case for my friends and I'm absolutely loving it. Building in this case is such a breeze and it's premium feel out of the box. The 3 included fans is a great trait and gives a fair start to everyone. 😁

[@karmaspcs]

I had that Case for 1 year now and I Love it. If Lian Li didn't came up with the DK-O4f i would still have the BeQuiet 500DX

[@brenthowington3115]

My 10yo daughter built her PC last year in this case. And for fans, we used the Asia Horse 360 Matrix. I know its cheap but it does work good still and its looks awesome behind the mesh front and the lighting design goes well with the dual led strips down the middle.

[@B1ASJ3ST3R]

I just bought this case, and I love it. It made for a very quiet and clean build.

[@zaust74]

Love mine but my 3070ti was FAR from quiet. I ended up putting a full custom loop in which works great and now truly quiet! I'd recommend crossflow rads if your going for a 280+240 unless you can charge the pump/res with an external PSU as my soft tubing had 4 pipes running right in front of the 24 pin.

[@Jabberwork.]

You can shift the hard drive bay in the basement to the right since it has screwholes and make room for a 360 rad at the same time! I did that on my build in that very case

[@WardenOfSouls]

I love mine. Cool, quiet, easy to clean and just so enjoyable to build in

[@Dont-Evan-Bother]

I've had this case for about a year 8 months now, im building my pc slowly as i can afford new stuff. The Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX has so much space and room for different optimizations. Plus it was super affordable..

[@galaxies9595]

My 11 year old i7-2600k lives in this exact case. She still honks, refuses to die and looks great in this case with new Cosair RGB 280mm AO cooler and EVGA 1000w power supply.

[@AlexeySazonov]

Thank you Jay. I was looking at this case for 2 years now. And bought it today after watching this video.

[@jimtekkit]

I thought real hard about getting a 500DX but actually decided against it and went with the Antec P101 Silent instead. It's quite an obscure product on the market. The nutshell summary is that the P101 caters more for us old-school users who can't live without a big solid case and tonnes of expansion bays. But the 500DX wins if you want maximum airflow.

[@carlkidd752]

I still use optical media. My X-78, 4) X-99 and 1 X570 all used Corsairs Carbide Air 240. Downside: 280 AIO max, 2 basic fans, $150 solid side panels $10 less, and NOT practical for a custom loop as a 2-compartment design and last, not a candidate for vertical GPU mounting. Upside: The 2-compartment design hides the PSU, SSD cage, optical devices and most of the wiring. 2) HDD sleds (front side under the GPU), cage for 4 SSDs, easy to work in and I like the way it looks.

[@sidepiece8344]

I'd definitely move two 140s to the front and use one as exhaust. Knowing me and how I build though; I'd put a fan wherever a fan can fit. Fill every spot. My current rig has 12 fans. 3x120mm intakes in the front, 2x120mm intakes in the bottom, 140mm rear exhaust and a 360mm rad in push/pull config with 6x120mm exhausting out the top. Still have positive pressure because the majority of my exhaust is slowed down due to the resistance created by the rad.

[@athgt6630]

I just bought and built it and I cannot believe how quiet it is. Money well spent
