be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX Black - High Airflow Mid Tower Case

The be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX Black combines exceptional ARGB lighting with maximum airflow performance, delivering both visual impact and cooling efficiency for high-performance PC builds.

Advanced ARGB Lighting System

Four pre-installed Light Wings PWM fans feature addressable RGB lighting at front and rear positions, creating a stunning visual display from every angle. Additional ARGB LEDs integrated into the front panel and case interior provide multiple color modes and customization options. The included ARGB-PWM Hub supports up to 6 ARGB components and 6 PWM fans, with optional motherboard synchronization for unified lighting control.

Maximum Airflow Performance

The high-permeability front mesh panel and airflow-optimized top cover prioritize cooling performance for demanding configurations. Three 120mm Light Wings fans at the front and one 140mm fan at the rear deliver exceptional airflow while maintaining quiet operation at 20.6-23.3 dB(A). Seven airflow-optimized fan blades reduce turbulence and ensure consistent cooling performance even under heavy loads.

Extensive Hardware Compatibility

ATX, M-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards fit comfortably within the 450 x 232 x 443mm chassis. Graphics cards up to 369mm length install without restrictions, while CPU coolers up to 190mm height clear the side panel. Radiator support includes 360mm at the front, 240mm at the top, and 140mm at the rear, accommodating comprehensive liquid cooling configurations.

Modern Connectivity

The front I/O panel features USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports for latest-generation hardware connectivity. A dedicated LED control switch allows quick adjustment of interior and exterior lighting without software intervention.

Smart Storage and Cable Management

Four total SSD mounting positions include two showcase locations visible through the tempered glass side panel. The functional PSU shroud conceals cables and power supply while housing a repositionable dual HDD cage with anti-vibration mounting. Removable dust filters on the front panel and bottom simplify maintenance.
