Hi,
I've always wanted to get some be-quiet high rpm series personally
Just adds up quick doing push/ pull on many rads plus two large mora 360's
Got any super large fans for watercool mora 360's ?

We do offer both DC (12V) and PWM 120mm based high RPM fans.

DC high-speed: https://www.bequiet.com/en/casefans/720

PWM high-speed: https://www.bequiet.com/en/casefans/724

That is the top end Silent Wings 3 models, but the Pure wings also support high speed.

All fans can be found here: https://www.bequiet.com/en/casefans

@FreedomEclipse and @oldwalltree Did either of you actually try to fit a fan in there?

If you look at images of the tower, it appears there may be room for a 25mm thick fan, but it may do away with anti-vibration measures. Maybe some fan with rubber corners that does not thicken the overall size of the fan? Just spit balling here, but I think it could be done, if a touch ghetto modded to do so.

I did. I managed to squeeze a 140mm Noctua Redux in there but without the metal fan clips to hold it in. Im not too sure if the blades were making contact with some of the fins. Either way its not an ideal solution.

Just wondered if it were possible at all. Thanks.

Hi,
Actually I was referring to maybe some 180mm fans seeing a mora 360 can use 4-180mm on each side.

As we know, the bottom HDD cages are usually not the best idea -not only they cramp the cable space coming from the PSU, they also sometimes collide with front radiator if the case is not long enough. This is my concept. Just as with Meshify 2 move the HDDs behind the shroud and place them vertically. Add a space for THREE 140mm fans on front giving a superior cooling performance option with biggest radiators easily fit on the front. Add angled psu shroud[can be 30 degree if possible] that will guide the air from the bottom front fan. Place 2,5" SSD mounts behind the moterhboard tray. I would easily shell for such pc case 150 usd and it would be better than meshify 2 for sure.

 

[Deleted member 205776]

Gotta say, I love the Pure Base 500DX. My first ever case, and has fantastic airflow. The fans are great too.

But what I don't enjoy is the little space for routing PSU cables, and that drive bay getting in the way. Had to buy a PSU with more flexible cables just because of that.

 

[authorized]

You can remove that drive bay though and put ssds in other places around the case, there's room for 4 I think.
Unless you have hdds that you didn't write in system specs?

 

[Deleted member 205776]

I can remove the drive bay yes, but that would make it look awful and my gpu support mount would be unusable

This is something that you will notice does not have many good options. Unfortunately, the demand for these sort of size fans has never been very strong and only seems to be waning as time progresses. You may notice that almost all of the 180mm/200mm fans are made by chassis manufacturers who have a case they use them in.

On top of that, you may note that I mentioned 180/200mm as that part of the fan market has been a bit of a mess since some "180mm" fans have a 180mm hole spacing, but 200m fan frame and vice versa. This makes for a very convoluted product to approach.

This is an interesting idea and some of this you may see on a future chassis, not necessarily the sloped PSU shroud, but it's possible. as far as the motherboard tray mounting of SSD's and larger storage has been done to varying degrees on our chassis, it has not been accomplished to the extent you are explaining yet with something like the Pure Base 500DX.

Stay tuned as we are working on new chassis models rather consistently, and while I am not going to say you will see something in the next quarter, I think we may have something that fits what you're looking for down the road a tick.

Thank you for the feedback and I am glad you love the chassis, it seems to have been quite a positive reception based on aesthetic and performance mix. As far as the HDD cage, that can be moved a bit for clearance or even removed entirely if you are not using 3.5" storage drives to give more room below the shroud.

 

[Deleted member 205776]

As said above I know I can remove it but my GPU mount becomes unusable & it doesn't look as good. Here's hoping the PSU that arrives tomorrow will fit just fine.

 

[be quiet! - Shannon]

You can also move it slightly for more clearance as I said above.

Also just for my knowledge which GPU support are you using? and can it be applied to the PSU should instead?

Nope the drive bay is as far away as it would go from my PSU.

I'm using an adjustable post GPU mount that sits on the drive bay. Not tall enough to reach my gpu if the drive bay is removed. GPU is too big, can't sit it on the PSU shroud.

Ok, cool... The reason I asked is that the GPU you have listed comes with a support bracket that mounts to the rear I/O mounting, so I was trying to figure out which you were using as I looked at the pics you posted on PCPartPicker.

I see the post mount now, it was just hard to discern from the picture and lighting. I am a bit surprised that could not sit on the PSU shroud, but I understand that is how you want to configure it, and I respect that.

Hi,
Yes I have and they aren't cheap either
I'm pretty much likely going to do some of these with a controller

Well, that is certainly one way to do it.

Well Howdy there Mr./Ms. beQ rep

I've never owned or used any of your company's products, but do take note whenever a new case or other item is released, and I believe alot of what ya'll make is really nice....

Having said that, I have to tell you that some of my biggest pet peeves, especially with so-called "NEW" cases are:

A) the lack of USB-C ports on the front... it is 2021 after all, and these ports have been around for like 6+ years now
B) the inclusion of the antique USB-1 or 2 ports...see above
C) the option to order a case with a complete, BTO cooling solution (yes, I know ya'll make both cases & fans, among other things). I know this would add to the price, but for some, I think it would be ideal to have a new case arrive & be 100% ready to go, cooling-wise, right out of the box... no muss, no fuss
D) Reading the headlines about the release of a so-called "NEW" case, only to have it turn out to be yet ANUTHA, regurgitated copy/paste of the 45 year old, same ole same same lame lame boring-assed rectangular boxen, with no design effort whatsoever other than slapping on some rgb here or there, or a strip of colored plastic or other useless & cheap looking embellishments....

On another note, I find it interestingly odd that your system specs say that you use a Lan Li case instead of one of your own....

Welcome @be quiet! - Shannon , best of luck here! Not gonna lie, I tho I there’s good reason you see so few reps on this forum, but hope you fare well!

Welcome to the forums Shannon. I've been running a few be quiet! products like case fans and power supplies, but had great experiences with them.

There's a number of things I like about be quiet!:

1. They're actually serious about maintaining a standard of quality and don't put their name on cheap junk

....we had not explored much in the space of RGB, as we prefer a clean subdued aesthetic....

2. ^ This
3. They don't just copy designs willy-nilly according to whatever is popular in the market, instead they stay true to their own designs

Cases are a funny topic because I haven't purchased a new case in the last five years. The reality is that nobody knows how to make a true professional-looking and functional case with premium quality. No windows, no RGB, no garish front bezel designs. Instead I look for decent airflow and dust filtering, top exhaust capabilities, readily accessible 5 1/4" drive bays and real provisions for front panel ports. My Antec Three Hundred U3 ticked all these boxes with a brilliant high quality design at an affordable price, but unfortunately these type of cases have faded from the market and have been forgotten. They still technically exist, but practical designs are normally reserved for cheap models where the quality and durability just isn't there.

I do like be quiet! cases such as the Dark Base 700, however prioritizing support for large front radiators means no 5 1/4" drive bays are provided. The Dark Base Pro 900 Rev 2 seems to address that issue however now we're talking nearly double the cost. Considering that it supports E-ATX, no doubt it will be too big to fit on my desk. I guess the Pure Base 600 is the best all-rounder despite being one of the more budget-oriented options.

Hey, thats kinda cool tbh, im not saying its a bad thing, but overall there is some airflow taht the PSU can appreciate vs just trying to scavenge from the vent below it which in most cases it sits a solid 10-15mm above.

Hey there, I must say, nice name, tbh to get that out of the way. I'm gonna address these in the order in which you typed them.

Intro) It's ok that you have never owned a be quiet! product, however, its never too late to do so
A) Well, we have not introduced any chassis yet in 2021, but don't worry, we have included Type-C for pretty much any new case entry over the last year, such as the Silent Base 802 and the Pure Base 500DX.
B) Agreed, but when was the last time there was a USB 1.0 port on a chassis? I think those went away the same time FireWire did (Yes, I am that old)
C) This is not a horrible idea but would have to be constrained to very specific SKUs in order to control what can only be described as an unholy mess of a product to manage.
D) I have considered this for a few minutes and while the Ctrl - C / Ctrl - V aspect I agree with, I do think your harsh mention of a rectangle box is a bit misguided. I personally have considered how I would build an effective and rational PC chassis out of everything from quatrefoils, parallelograms, polygons, and scalene triangles among so many other geometric shapes but it always leads back to squares or rectangles. Turns out that a quad set of ninety-degree angles makes for a very stable base structure. /s

Sub Note) I would rather not lie to you guys about my specs which is why it is listed as such. I joined be quiet! in September 2020 and will be rebuilding in one of our chassis most likely when I can get a Ryzen 5000 CPU. I mean especially since our LCS support is vastly improving

Welcome @be quiet! - Shannon , best of luck here! Not gonna lie, I tho I there’s good reason you see so few reps on this forum, but hope you fare well!

Thank you for the kind welcome, and don't worry I came with a flame suit prepared. I am a survivor of pre-social media chat rooms and forums. I think/hope I will be ok

Hi,

HAH, I am interested to see the performance with all of that, but as a gearhead along with being a tech geek, I will say be cautious with the automotive fans as their draw is immense. Make sure you have it on a proper supply of power to support them as those motors are no joke and can really pull some juice.

Thank you for the kind words, and I understand where you're coming from. One thing to note is that 5.25" bays are going the way of the dodo, and a vast majority of users desire them to be removed. However, we do have another option that may or may not fit your needs, check out the Silent Base 600. https://www.bequiet.com/en/case/642
