Characteristics

LIGHT IT UP

Lots of illumination possibilities

Pure Base 501 LX White is for the ARGB enthusiasts out there. With 4 preinstalled Light Wings LX White PWM fans, this case is predetermined to be your next show case. With its countless modes and colors and the possibility to synchronize your ARGB effects, Pure Base 501 LX White leaves nothing to be desired. To support a full ARGB ecosystem, a hub for 6 ARGB devices and PWM fans is installed behind the motherboard tray.

PERFECT CASE FAN

Fan blades optimized for high airflow

With optimization for maximum airflow, Light Wings LX PWM White is the right choice for any case configuration that demands high cooling performance. Its 7 airflow-optimized fan blades not only reduce noise-generating turbulences but also ensure Light Wings LX PWM White provides the performance that is needed, even in demanding configurations. 3 Light Wings LX 120mm PWM White pull cool air from the front, while a large 140mm fan exhausts the warm air through the rear.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Generous space for high-end hardware

Despite its compact dimensions, Pure Base 501 LX White offers enough space for high-end graphics cards and large coolers. Triple fans or a radiator up to 360mm can be installed easily at the front, while the top area provides space for up to 2 fans or a radiator up to 240mm.

WAY UP!

With rotatable PCIe slots

Why not try something else with your GPU? The PCIe slots of the Pure Base 501 LX White can be rotated 90° for an upright installation of wide high-end graphics cards. The spacing is perfect for the optional be quiet! Riser Cable, whose foam base provides excellent anti-sag support for graphics cards in vertical orientation.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

With smart cable routing options

As a compact PC case, Pure Base 501 LX White optimally uses the offered space. Thanks to cleverly integrated cable routing options, it makes cable management a breeze.

CONNECT WITH ME

State-of-the-art technology for your system

A USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Type C connector and 2 Type A ports on the front I/O port for fast and easy connectivity. A controller button cycles through the colors and modes for the fans that are connected to the ARGB hub, or can be set to sync the effects with a motherboard ARGB header.

"PC cases like Pure Base 501 LX are the very reason why I applied for a job at be quiet! in the first place. There is simply no other manufacturer that gets the idea of what a PC case should be there for better: reliable, visually appealing, and thoroughly well-designed."
