#rtx5080 #ASUS #asuspcdiy - High airflow with minimal case fans which translates to lower noise and simplicity. It's time to explore the be quiet! Pure Base 501 chassis. Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! 00:00 - Intro: PC DIY Lucky Dip 02:06 - Pure Base 501 Overview 02:58 - Build Hardware 03:26 - Motherboard Assembly 05:39 - Pure Base 501 Assembly 09:13 - Airflow Visualization 09:39 - Cinematic & Desk Setup 12:09 - Coffee Thanks & Outtakes The Pure Base 501 comes in a few different chassis arrangements. This specific model is the 'Airflow Windowed' version which I feel gives the best of low noise whilst retaining hardware visibility, even in a blackout zero RGB form. For a mid tower form factor, the Pure Base 501 does an excellent job of remaining compact with some solid hardware support. Radiators up top take quite a hit with 240mm being the maximum (360mm up front) but it makes up for it with great GPU length, housing most of the larger 50 series cards too. You know I love I good air cooler here on the channel and the Dark Rock Pro 5 is an excellent performer both in terms of noise levels and cooling. be quiet! have made good of the installation stages which require minimal effort with a simplified process (they even include the screwdriver!)

Whilst the two Pure wings 3 fans which come supplied are okay, I'd highly recommend adding a couple of extras to truly optimise the airflow for both your CPU and GPU.
