Beauty and scary airflow | Be Quiet! Review Pure 500 FX

There is full ARGB lighting, which includes two strips LED on the front and inside the case. As well as the aesthetics too l’airflow it is in very high levels. In fact, the front is totally meshato and the whole case is equipped with dust filters that ensure excellent performance. The case is very simple, truly beautiful from every angle. Surely the contrasting element is the tempered glass side bulkhead which, in black color, accentuates every contrast. The branding is present, in the velcro and in some relief on the case, but it is never excessive and abundant.

The front, as we said, totally mesgated for an enviable airflow with the two stripes RGB-LEDs that emit quality (as well as a lot of light!). On the front we have a USB 3.0 and a USB 3.1 (type C). Again, there is the power button and the entrance headphone jack e microphone. On the top (as well as on the bottom) there is a large air intake (protected by a generous dust filter) which allows the installation of two 140mm fans (or a 240mm radiator). The right side is totally closed and, on the back, we also find holes for the installation of an additional 140mm fan (in addition to the slots for the installation of theI / O shield motherboard).

The interior of wonders | Be Quiet! Review Pure 500 FX

We talked about the outside, of the incredible ariflow and the elegance of this case. The eye wants the part of him, but those who handle hardware know that that's not all. The inside of this case is in some ways even better than the outside. The setting is that classic, with the power supply positioned in the bottom separated from the rest. Cleanliness and elegance reign supreme, and the large storage space is also proof of this. In fact, it is possible to install up to five SSD: two behind the removable plate, two more behind the motherboard and another at the bottom.

The space between the motherboard plate and the side panel it's really a lot and this favors not just the cable management and component installation. Really mind blowing like BeQuiet! has not left anything out, applying the Velcro straps (branded) for cable management on the back. Not to mention the sheet in soundproofing sponge on the closed wall that does not allow any noise whatsoever to pass.

Elements for cooling

Still in the interior of the case, just a few gems for your assembly of fans e systems di cooling down. The total number of installable fans is six. Up to 3 x 120mm on the front, two on the top and one on the rear. In the front, clearly, it is possible to install (as an alternative to the fans) a heat sink to 360 millimetres. At the top, however, you can install one from 120 o 240 mm and one in the rear from 120 or 140mm.

The quality of the four supplied fans is really high. More high and the quality, the smaller the noise a regime of the fans that are able to intoxicating the eyes with their play of light while maintaining high efficiency and silence. Finally, it is also possible to install a heatsink a tower (often those with air) up to 190 mm tall and one Video Card (also triple fan) with maximum length di 369 millimetres.

Component installation | Be Quiet! Review Pure 500 FX

The installation of the components was pretty easy. Inside we have mounted a motherboard of BIOSTAR, la B660GTA, with an Intel Core i5 12600 processor, and a BeQuiet!. The assembly is really comfortable, the spazi are extensive and bulkheads spaced apart.

Cable management is strongly incentivized and guided thanks to the bands preinstalled. Also noteworthy is the presence of a hub (from 6 places) to which the 4 pre-installed ARGB fans in the case. Each fan, of course, will have the power cable and the control cable of the ARGB. In addition to all the cables for the keys of the case (power, reset, led etc.).

Conclusions and price

Definitely an elegant case, mindful of its own predecessors from which it draws every benefit. An extra hub that allows a much more orderly and performing fan cable management. Easy, guided cable management and a truly important style. Dimensions: however compact but one interior space deserve it well studied and designed. Airflow which, allow me, is one of the most congenial seen so far. Although not upsetting they managed to innovate un model deserve it well built.
