'Be Quiet!,' the silence-focused PC components company, announced the launch of three new FX-series components, including the flagship Be Quiet! Pure Base 500 FX chassis. Aside from this PC case, the other two products are the 'Pure Loop 2 FX' and the 'Pure Rock 2 FX,' which are two different types of CPU coolers.
The Pure Base 500 FX chassis includes two RGB lightbars along the front, as well as four 140mm RGB, PWM-enabled fans around the case. This allows for a comprehensive cooling experience that is both silent and visually aesthetic. The one aspect this case does not cool by default, though, is the CPU.
This is where the Pure Loop 2 FX and Pure Rock 2 FX come into play. The Pure Loop 2 FX is a 280mm liquid-cooler with dual PWM 140mm RGB fans, while the PUre Rock 2 FX is a dedicated CPU air cooler with a built-in 120mm RGB fan.
