Generally positive impression; good amount of features for price, relatively loud
The media first explain changes in improved airflow and added RGB lighting before concluding the full specifications. The noise level is perceived as rather loud, which in turn is offset by the lower temperatures and thus perceived as a reasonable compromise. In total, the sum of features is praised, resulting a grade of 2.35 (from 1 to 6 with 1 being best).
“Be Quiet used to be focussed on quiet cases with lots of noise isolation. The Pure Base 500 DX sets out to change that.”
