Let's Do A First be quiet! Light Base 900 FX Build - RTX 4080

[@joeschmoe2697]

That’s for the quick review and build! I’m getting mine Wednesday for a whole new build and love watching any videos related to the case while I wait haha

[@quan2913]

I feels like the light base 600 will be a better size for a user.

[@0-B1]

900 is better I think especially for expensive builds like a 5090 ect as that's gonna to be a big card and need alot of cooling so more space means should stay cooler even if it's only by a few degrees c

[@matta6298]

@@0-B1 i ordered the 600 lx to start building for when the 50 series launches, im just gunna water cool the gpu, the 900 is crazy big. I want to run it horizontally but i doubt a distro plate with pump would do well horizontally on the bottom

[@jakemaynard9641]

@@matta6298 Hia i also ordered the 600 lx, its my first build and I cannot find the power switch connectors in the case, the ones that control the power button, is it somehow wored into the hub already or am I just missing them?

[@matta6298]

@ i haven’t built my pc yet as im waiting for 50 series, and it’s also my first build so i have no idea lol. Check the manual or google it, I will probably run into the same problem as you

[@jakemaynard9641]

@@matta6298 Haha ok so I figured out that it does indeed have the connectors it’s just a more modern cord than the guides I was looking at for plugging the mobo had. It’s a cord labeled front panel that already has them laid out in the correct order. I was looking for the little individual pins Edit: Visual guide kzbin.infojq0AYqZLpJM?si=kkRqx_58HC9qXCMq

Getting this case whenever it is back in stock and 3D printing some taller legs for it for better bottom airflow, in the horizontal format. I wonder what type of feet designs I can get to work with it!

[@interestingvideosofinteres5136]

Make a few extra. They will sell quick i bet.

[@halihalo21]

I see your point of installing the aio on the top without having to remove the plate but i think its always so much easiert to mount it on the removed plate instead on mounting it in the case.

[@Rogun987]

I had a LOT of extra space on my desktop so I ordered this. I didnt want my future 5090 to be difficult to shoehorn into a case. Cant wait to get a workout putting it together.

[@toonnut1]

We need more cases like this it's perfect for direct die using liquid metal. Zero chance of it running down the motherboard.

[@interestingvideosofinteres5136]

Light base 600 For me, in the horizontal setup. I think it would be cool if someone made 3D printed feet for it that put it at an angle, rear slightly up.

[@shawnsereal]

I got this case for Xmas. I still have a back ache from lifting it and trying to build in it. Wow!! What a pain in the ass. Installed my radiator fans backwards and had to take them all off and then redo them again. Then I noticed that my radiator was also backwards and had to take it apart and do the whole thing over for a third time. I think this case is way overkill. I'm afraid it might break my glass tabletop. The Light Base 600 would have been a better choice but i'm not complaining because I received the case as a present.

[@zahirkhan778]

Everyone is building with the white case and black components. Color matching is important.

[@0-B1]

Not when white parts are almost 2x the price and most likely me will buy black case lol

[@kajmi25]

@@0-B1 Performance is what really matters! Stupid white color fashion these days! Its easy to build from black parts. Cheaper and there are more black than white parts.

[@10125Studios]

LB 600 FTW, i hope the horizontal layout makes a comeback.

[@DrKriegsgrave]

its going to be kind of niche for people to re-adopt an horizontal case, given its size, but the feel to it and looks may be well worth it, exceeeept for the wires coming from the fans on the radiator, they seem lonely and kind of break the aesthethics, but nothing cable management cant do i suppose

[@deuswulf6193]

This has a similar design language to the old corsair carbide air series.

[@GaryRodgers-ph9ei]

Good review mate, just calling out that the MB Tray and aspects of this case are very similar to the Gamdias NESO P1 which is the case that also features the 8 Slot Horizontal and Vertical GPU Holder

[@MattTerrington]

I'm soo glad I came across your comment - hadn't seen this case before, but now it's on my shopping list! 🤩

[@ronnie8274]

I got this case, the 1st day I looked at the removable feet and it broke off in my hand. I'm trying to contact them to get a replacement but so far, no luck. ALSO, You have the AIO installed WRONG. You need to move it to the front by the power button, so the pump is higher than the radiator, otherwise air gets in the pump, and it won't work properly, and you have CPU overheating and a ruined pump.

[@iamjusttheITguy]

I am in the market for this model from Be Quiet due to the whole cube look. Your video gave me a better insight on the what comes with the case and the ease to assemble components in it. Will there be a build video for the 600 model in the future?

[@MauiWauiPineappleExpress]

If they make a Light Base 300 FX i will buy one!

[@steveblake8766]

Seems to me you would need to use all 140mm fans and a 420mm AIO. Those 120mm fans look small.

[@waltwright84]

I really want to figure out a use case for this case just so I can play with it.

[@fabsenbmx]

Very cool and humorous video. Insanely huge case but it looks nice What is your first language you speak in Luxembourg?

[@motonolo798]

Im curious how a vertical GPU mount would work with a full custom loop? Im considering 2 360mm rads, my 4090 with sandwich EKWB so would need to be side/vertically mounted.

[@Gritz1]

Bro, could you answer a question for me? Would I be able to do a push and pull on the top of this case? The specifications don't make that clear... it recently arrived in Brazil and I would like to buy it, but I would need to know if it is possible to do a push and pull on the top.

[@TRViSM]

How do i Connect the Fans with my Mainboard? I cant Control them because my System dont recognize them and they run on Maximum Speed.

[@Tripkikker79]

That thing would take up half my desk

[@GSP-76]

Would have been better to get the black version since half the components were black. It's not a bad case but 140mm fans should have been used.

[@jakemaynard9641]

Im attempting my first build in this case and I cant find the power switch connectors to plug into the motherboard, this might be a dumb question but are they somehow already wired in the hub or am I just missing them?

[@WZ16A]

The little cable already in the case that had the 2 pins/wires is for the fans right? Sorry dumb question i had thought that fan cables had 3 or 4 wires, this is my first time building a pc, is there only one for both the built in splitters?

[@MarcoMiyagi]

Yes, its just the RPM/PMW pins that are used for that 4 Pin Plug

[@WZ16A]

@@MarcoMiyagi thank you for clearing that up for me

[@jaehaerys48]

Why is it so big lol? I guess it's future proofing considering that in a few generations a high-end GPU will probably take up half of the case.

[@valdemarbaldorftingkr3824]

is there a lightwing reverseblade fan???

[@fuzzylumpkins6034]

I do not want to be last to the empty party but I will. With the 4080 and 4090 being so yesterday, why not build a 7800xt build and wait a few months to build the super over priced 5080 and 5090?

[@DENNISWEIß-s7v]

I think it's one of the most beautiful cases on the market at the moment...The light bar looks fantastic and fits the overall impression...However, I think the silver power bar in the middle is absolutely ugly and ruins the overall impression... The entire bar is made of plastic and not aluminum, which is not nice at all, and the power button in the middle is extremely ugly and looks cheap... it's a shame, it spoils the overall elegant impression of the case, and It would have been much nicer if Be Quiet had made the bar out of aluminum / brushed aluminum... I'm still thinking about whether I should buy the case or another one because I don't think the bar is nice.

[@MeepMeep88]

LOL wtf is this monstrosity. We building a pc or an mini fridge?

you are so whinny lol

[@kellorol89]

its a stupid design because i have to remove more screws but its not hard i just would rather save 2 seconds over durability

[@williamtopping]

They looked a lot smaller at the exhibition. I wanted one. However, having seen them in the hands of KZbinrs. Nah. Way too big. And do not look as good as they did in the big exhibition space.
