I really appreciate how you demonstrated the airflow with paper pieces. Can you please keep doing those in upcoming reviews. its really helpful for us. TY
I appreciate how honest and real your reviews are. Glad to be a sponsor!
Love the paper shred visual for airflow!
I use a be quiet case, 2 years old with a be quiet pwr supply. Best pc ive ever built. Defo recomend their gear !
That video was really helpful, I'll go for the non windowed version as my first requirement is quiet!
Overengineered? A german product? You have to be joking :)
We don't 'overengineer' anything... we just love to plan for any circumstances.
You guys over engineered your tanks in ww2, and we saw how that played out. 50% of tigers didnt even make it to battle
@@dezrjb3ckbock755 Yeah, Germany had beasts for tanks, but the U.S. just shit out so many Sherman's the Nazis could not keep up...
Awesome case,but suited for h20 cooling of cpu and gpu.
yep if the US hadn't been 2 years late to both world wars would've been better as well, oh well least they brought a shit load of Sherman's wiv em when they finally arrived.
The Germans would use ballbearings instead of bushings in a turret. In a tank which had an average lifespan of three weeks. Poor design decision. Also the tanks were too big to easily transport by rail, under powered, overheated, needed improved roads to traverse well, had poor transmissions etc... But they looked great on paper. The T34 was a much smarter design.
Its a very user friendly one. They really made everything easy on this thing .
What does it matter if the front is closed off? Just fix it with RGB??
Quiet & Toasty, That's what I thought it would be. I'm so happy with my Cooler Master H500. The mesh front allows those two 200mm fans move a ton of air through my system, keeping it nice and cool.
What CPU and GPU? Stock temps?
I am using the be quiet 900, and i can say that i love the case! If you are gaming while someone sleep in the room that's the case, you have 0 noise output!
Thank you for the review. Gonna look for some other case in that case!
I have this case, I cut the top slits open and added a mesh but works great with Noctuas. Might do the same on the front panel a little bit. Overall though, you don't get this case for cooling, you get it for silence and it's awesome. Great explanation in this vid
Great review, thanks ! Could you tell me how to use the fan switch ? I don't understand how the fan switch articulates with the built in motherboard fan management. Do you control yourself the fan switches at all times depending on activity, or does the motherboard also control fan switch based on intensity of activity? Thanks !
It would be nice for someone's first computer. I keep looking at other be quiet! offerings, and can't justify buying anything other than the Dark Base Pro 900. Might because I have one and I feel absolutely spoiled and I have a million options available to me with this case. It's just an amazing well-rounded case.
Another great video. Thanks.
Thats why I went with the 801 case.
Thermals are that tad better.
Maybe I am biased as well towards this because it is much more silent than other I tried and I use it in a broadcasting studio so the hardware is not really pushed to its max.
HAving the choice of a very closed-off case with mighty restricted airflow and more open & meshed design like CoolerMaster Master Case Pro 5 I go with the latter. I can spin my fans slower which makes the whole computer quiet. If I ever want superior airflow for some extreme OC I can spin them up. Having a super-quiet but airflow restricted solution like this Be quiet I have no option to have superior airflow when I need it.
Why not? You can just remove the front panel and voila - you have an open case.
I’ve built in it a big threadripper config for a friend with noctua air cooler, SSD + 4 mech HD, Nvidia and more, best case i’ve ever worked with (i use fractal design) exquisite attention to details, dead silent and for the power i benchmarked it to “OMG!! Who needs OC”.
is it possible move the 2.5" ssd slots downwards(I can see some potential mounting holes below the original spot but I'm not entirely sure)? so the ssds wouldn't sit right behind the cpu socket
does liquid cooling for the cpu help with the temps , along with fans
this case is the best ive ever own, every fractial failed against this. The top mount Radiator works better then u think, i dongt get cpu temps more than 50 Degrees. in every fractial meshy case i get over 60 Degrees.... i dont know how, but the hot air went better out of the box then it Looks like..
i dont understand all this comments, the airflow is more then good….....
Nothing is running loud, its super silent...
@the cleanest war I have same question. My 9700k just does NOT overclock to 4.9 because of terrible temps (basically throttling under Prime95). I use Noctua NH-D15S. Can this case even handle air cooling inside - or water loop is a must?
@Mr. Snowman how is it going with this case? I want one for musical production.
@@Kotkamusic It's a very hot case.
@@NameName-zz3ly do you have one? Holy God, I need one silent case for my studio, but I can't find any good one...
@@Kotkamusic If you are serious about this case and silence you definitly want to consider non-tempered glass version. Case itself is beautiful and professional looking. But I sold Pure Wings fans almost immediately because they were making a buzzing sound even on minimal RPMs. Can you believe it?
And yes, it's toasty. Also be very careful with the CPU you choose. It seems we are degenerating into noise problems again because modern CPUs are terribly hot and to tame them even quietest coolers make noise to cool them down. Underckocking/undervolting may help.
On idle, you can't hear a thing - but you wouldn't either in a more open case with good coolers.
Generally we are far from ideal to have a complete silence and good performance. With the heat hardware components produce it's simply impossible nowdays. Then to cool more RPMs are needed - this case can still be noisy.
But if you are recording sounds from the mic or singing you need absolute ambient silence.
Here how it sounds at about 40cm away with all fans at full speed (except GPU) followed by GPU fans at full speed.

I have similar issue with non-TG Define C case. The highly restrictive front panel, even with 2x140 HP Venturi fans on intake and 120 HF Venturi as exhaust, leave gpu starving for cool air. And though I can mitigate by undervolting my 1080, it’s nowhere near good.
Those pads are THHHICKK!
Are the Alphacool GPU water blocks good? I heard that hey only cover the GPU and the rest is passively cooled.
I just need a quiet case as my current HDDs make too much noise (x2 8TB 7200rpm drives). My cooling solution is a corsair H60 at the back. Would this case work well if I placed a fan at the top rear as an intake (to feed extra air into the H60)? Or does that kind of thing attract a lot of dust when it's not exhaust?
Keen for the tests, I'm planning on putting dampening pads in my case if it stays silent despite higher fan rpm/thermals.
Marc why would you want your PC parts to go damp? Wouldn’t dampening them greatly increase the risk of a short circuit?
in general airflow intake is better than old nzxt h440?
Are you planning to review phanteks evolv x?
The Verge PC build Easter Egg noted: "At least in my case - no pun intended".
I can confirm that overclocking 9700k even to 4.6GHz on all cores is very hard with the front panel on, simply a no-go (will eventually throttle in Prime95 without AVX). Removing front panel drops temps by 7-10C. What I really like about this case though is that when GPU fans start roaring in conjunction with the case fans, overall noise is still more tolerable and kind of dampened in some frequencies than more open case I had before.
I've bought it on sale as it was for the price of silent base 600. I'm planning to have 240 mm aio radiator in the front, not planning to push 200% from the components inside. Will it be good?
if you've tried, please tell us. I'm wondering myself
There is negative critism about the front panel intake but i think there is more to it than what appears. The purpose is a quiet case right? You need to trap the noise and let the pads absorb the energy. The 90 degree bend i think is a noise trap. less noise will escape with this bend. Also the size is small of the intake which i think is also with purpose to reduce the amount of noise that can escape. This contains the noise within the chassy for the pads to absorb or let it escape in the back instead. Perform a noise test with and without the front panel and see the difference.
Edit: also, you cant have both high airflow and low noise, they conflict
this case is good for those whos not doing serious overlocking and want balance between thermals and noise, that way even if airlow is not that good as u say, it doesnt matter that much cuz e.g. CPU is 67C instead of 62C or VGA is 75C instead of 70C, but all in all everithing is quiet, its a good trade of for those.
Did you ever test out this case with a custom loop?
Be Quite is a good brand for the money!That case is a bit to quite though regarding air flow. I watch a lot of your videos and KristoferYee`s, love how you do rip off videos of used Pc`s and break down prices.Would love to see you both do a video sometime in the feature!
Is air flow better than the 600? I see this does not invert like the 600 does.. Does this come with a RGB/Fan controller?
I've never tested the 600, but the 601's airflow dynamics are extremely restricted as detailed in this video. Fan controller, yes. This was shown toward the end of the video and in several b-roll shots.
What about adding a fan in the optional bottom position?
As I understand the design, the whole bottom of the case is actually an air intake (but I am not sure). A fan sucking air from the bottom would not be restricted (as those in the front panel) and could potentially improve the total air flow a lot.
This one or the fractial design r6 for buliding a silent PC for music production?
So many things I like about the Be Quiet 601 but the cooling does give me pause. The build I'm planning, I'm going from a larger sized micro-ATX case (Corsair) back to a mid-tower ATX so I'll have flexibility in the future to reuse the case, no matter the MB size. The Be Quiet is very nice but I want to get the best potential cooling as possible to future proof the case. I hesitate due to the points brought up: the front and top panels restrict air flow. I've seen several manufacturers offer the feature of a removable section of the front panel, allowing you to have silence but if removed, you have a grill/filter for better airflow. I also like Fractal's ModuVent™ top panel that allows for silence or airflow. Hope Be Quiet rethinks design as I suspect there a lot of users that steer clear of their cases due to the heat issue. I'm now down to a Maingear VYBE and a Fractal case (still weighting the diffent ones).
I want a mini ITX version of this case.
Science studio this one is destined for sound studios in home where there isno Pc room. It is exactly what we need in the business as wenever overclock and we leave ddr4 at 2133. We use passive graphic cards usually and a h20 cpu cooler is cheap to buy for a professional audio system. After all when I OC and play game I can always open the side panel and put my fan blowing the old classic way :) But I believe its not that bad if u replace these fans with some better ones...Love the case , looks solid, will buy !!
Cant the mid part of the front of the case be opened, not the whole section? Really liked the rerview, I thought you were someone else but I was very mistaken, thanks for the video!
Would be great to hear some actual temps from cpu and gpu when gaming, so many say its toasty and hot on 11/12/13900ks,900k, but most people dont use that and dont overclock it to the max so with a general 9/11/12/13600k's and a 2070/3070/4070, what are gaming temps? If anyone own it please let me know!
How to unhook this front panel?
Thanks you for showing the opening at 1:50. I could not figure how to open the damn thing !
Exactly what I found with the 700. I have the 360 silent loop and had to fit it at the front as it just cooked with my x5650@4.2 :(
I installed it at the front and have to ramp the fans to full speed and it's still not good (compared to a noctua dh14 in a cheap Deepcool tesseract.
Front fans - I added a noctua in addition to the 3 120s in the rad' AND another noctua into the basement.
Great looking, but fails on functionality for me - I'm tempted to hack a couple of 120mm vents in the top...
YOOO. corsair carbide 400C is on sale for 70€ because of corsairs back to school campaign. its one hella of a deal
I love your videos can you review a case called cooler master mastercase h500 (non p or m)
SIFU LORENZO
And you are right,
The temperature of my CPU is too high.
That because of I have a case BY QUIET 601
At the top it is so isolating that it was not possible to let 2 fans air through no let flow not enough space to allow the fans to flow through the air and cool so
In the meantime, have it adjusted after a lot of thought?
And having my radiator straight now is not the best configuration but it is if there is no other possibility.
If the pump is not higher than the radiator of course this is also a good look at whether this could and can be done,
Now my CPU spins between 32 and 35 degrees and my liquid at 29 degrees
Anyway, thanks for dis video
it gives me helped to adjust my configuration and now have a better computer.
Thanks
I need something quiet for record some voices, but I need something good for gaming ! Is this case is a good option ? Or do you guys have good cases you can share me !? I just don't want to ear fans noises in my recording, but in this one I don't want to get my pc toast af. I plan to change my graphic card to, for an 1080 or 2070 when it will came out, so I need some nice space !
Damn, R390 owner here. Looks like I'm sticking with Fractal then
Quick question in some of the B roll footage I saw you had a graphics card mounted vertically with a passive cooler on it, how would a passively cooler card perform in terms of thermals if mounted vertically?
It's a waterblock, not a passive cooler.
looked like one. *shrugs* Though I am still curious how a passively cooled card would perform and the thermals of it vs a card that's actively cooled, that is vertically mounted inside of a case.
Super
Since im early can you please review the TD500
Really good video and review, cheers!
air just find a way at the top to the back, its not hey "i collided with top panel/material and i stop moving forward", it will turn and goes on as long as thers a corridor for it
Great review fully agree the main benefit of this case is silent.
You made a little mistake when assembling front coolers, in your case, they get much louder, the standard layout is more silent.
Louder, sure, but the temps went up in the normal config as well. So my conclusions would have been worse 😂
@@GregSalazarI've tested CPU (i78700) temperature in CPU-Z stress test with different fans (2 silent wings 3) location, the temperature the same 68C ambient 26C. But I removed the front panel and just left dust mesh.
I wish i had watched this video prior to buying. I have had the case less than one week and moved back to an old Antec one. The noise from the heat generation makes this sound like a jet engine. No good for anyone playing any sort of games on a midly overclocked system. Nice to look at but too hot to touch! Do you have any cases you recommend based on quiteness and airflow?
you must be doing something REALLY wrong, ive had this case for nearly a year now, and its silent, its cool (max 50 at load)
I will use this case for a small business server.
Living off the name, nice sleek design though.
Thank you so much, you saved me from buying this case.
Glad I could help!
for those who own the case, what is the optimal fan setup?
140mm intake in back, and 140mm intake in low front
Can't have it all. Either good airflow or a silent system.
Pure Wings 2. Great. Not that Silent Wings 3 would've improved airflow anyway... ;-)
i need this shit in my studio
Just run it with front door opened?
something you did wrong. maybe the Hardware components do not work well together. my one runs good with a 360 Aio on the top and 3 extra be quiet fans on the front.
Music Production PC for this one - ;)
I was planning to get one of this for my studio... Any experience using this case for making music?
No type C front panel port :(
;-(
Just bought this case, It has really high quality.
BUT: the window is not very good at sound insulating, in fact it
resonates with the fans. And here we go to Pure wings 2: they ARE loud.
Can hear some grinding-like noise at fan switch 1 position, very audible
at 3, louder than air noise.
Why have you put the pure wings in silent based case - I can't really
understand, this is disappointing.
BTW: i've replaced stock fans with TY-141 running @700 rpm and now they are much quieter AND my cpu idle temp dropped from 37 to 34, gpu temp dropped from 40 to 36
Could you tell me how to use the fan switch ? I don't understand how the fan switch articulates with the built in motherboard fan management. Do you control yourself the fan switches at all times depending on activity, or does the motherboard also control fan switch based on intensity of activity? Thanks !
@@djamel-arbouche Hi. My revision only had manual switch, so I could control the speed only with 3 levels without any MB integration
Вилен Тамбовцев thanks for the reply! But that means you have to evaluate yourself when to change the switch position, depending on activity level. Or do you let it on the highest position most of the time ?
Not fair title. I have Ryzen 3600 and GTX1050 TI and good MSI motherbloard and my components are min 38 deg C and max 60 deg C. Not everybody needs hiend boiling CPU and GPU. This case is awesome and quiet. Highly recomend for normal CPU and GPU.
The problem has already been criticized many of the predecessors here in Germany and again was not respected, the tower all have a bad air circulation. Normally, the company speaks for quality in terms of their power supplies and fans but from the development of the Towers they should keep their hands off.
E-ATX Supported this case ?
Yes! (30.5 x 27.5cm).
I love the side panels all they need to do is make a open front model for us that want more air. I want a louder case than restricted air flow.
thanks! you saved me 140,-
Aorus themed build in this case would look dope lol
That's literally what I'm doing :-)
I see, should've watched the whole vid first smh
Think I'll stick with my Fractal R6
Link broken!
That crisp 360p 🥓
I have like 14 fans in my giant case and I just don't get the super silent PC thing (I even have to sleep with a fan on). I'd rather have a reliable HSF for my CPU and lots of airflow to keep it cool for a good OC.
The trick is to install an overkill amount of radiator surface (minimum 280/360mm per 100W) to get those low temps while keeping fans below 500rpm. At that point HDDs are too loud so SSD-only is a must.
MMMMM sweet 360p
Hakeem Rashid i watch in 144p
fail case in my opinion.its pretty dont get me wrong.but the airflow is so poor and your system will get toasty.
Fun fact: My system in a DBP900 runs louder *with* the "sound restrictors" than without. After modding it for airflow, it runs a lot quieter and cooler.
german engineering makes me moister then an oyster
I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart that you don't use a crappy clickbait title, instead tell us right away what to expect.
Thank you
I would've skipped this case the moment I noticed no optical drive support :P but that's just me
No optical drive support..... 2007 called, it wants you back.
I built my pc 8 years ago got the best blue ray disk drive I could find...... Used it like 1.time...
@@rushnready Optical drives are definitely not for everyone. These days they are designed specifically for people who don't wish to use it up USB slots for a external optical drive every time they want to watch a movie or play a classic game they bought on disc years ago. and for people who really care about quality of the movie, like Blu-ray ultra HD, the internal optical drives do have better performance. I think it especially matters if you are a person who likes to watch 4k UHD
Doubt a rad is gonna help with airflow either.
something for my studio maybe, so it does not disurb my music like my laptop
Sooo you're saying this case is the one the worst when it comes to airflow and temperatures but you're doing a custom loop inside of it......okaaayy
Oh hey, BeQuiet took a page out of Cooler Master's book and made it worse! Lol
I like quiet computers. I understand the point of a case like this. But I don't understand sacrificing basic performance to shave half a decibel off the noise profile. Our computer sits right next to the TV. It's in an antique Thermaltake case that's made of rice paper and balsa wood. If it wasn't for the ticking fan you wouldn't even know it's running. Just how much difference could that 601 case make? Granted, there's only two case fans, the Hyper 212, and the Gigabyte Windforce RX460 making noise in my rig. But even with a plexi window in the side and vents on top for a 240 rad the thing is still quiet enough to be unnoticeable. I just don't see what they were trying to gain from that design.
Hi, Thanks! I prefere my old be quiet! Silent Base 800.
Would a AIO type cooling wouldn't work in this? That sucks was kinda looking to potentially building a PC in this type of tower.
I’ll be entirely honest: though it’s shallow, I will never buy a Be Quiet product if it has its brand name displayed on it. Building a sick PC that says Be Quiet! Inside is about as generic looking as building a PC that says Cooler Master inside.
Again, I know it’s shallow but I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Noctua does the opposite. Their chromax line looks sick and their logo is a little owl that’s about as sneaky on the edge of their fans as it is on the 1 dollar bill. Cryorig also looks great. Again subtle branding...
I'm with you. I hate logos being plastered all over everything. That's one of my big problems with the RGB craze. Now logos aren't just stickers that can be peeled off or engravings that can be filled in; now they're neon signs flashing for the whole world to see.
I pre-ordered this case and I hope I'll be able to deal the toasty factor. I did ordered three 140mm noctua fans which I'll place in front. I'll place my AiO 120mm rad (for CPU) at the back. I'm planning to even place a single 120mm noctua fan on top of the case.
So I'm hoping it should be just enough to prevent it from becoming too toasty. My GPU is the only main concern for me. But with so many fans to just compensate for the air flow, I doubt it's even worth it in the end. The case looks nice though.
Hows the build going. ?? I'm thinking of getting this case. Was wondering if you recommend getting it ?? :)
At the moment, I have a 120 AiO at the back, so it blows the heat out directly.
I have one 140mm Fan on top (where the holes are) and three 140mm fans in the front.
I also have a 120mm fan at the bottom. So I have over-killed on the fans. With my setup, 1080 Ti and i5, it's running fairly normally when it comes to temperature (with this many fans and at fairly low RPM).
I can't say how well it'll cool with a RX Vega and a CPU with 6 cores or more. (But considering with this amount of fans and they are all not spinning at even half of their limit, I think my case can handle that as well).
I'd at the very least suggest getting enough 140mm fans to have three of them in the front. Don't bother with Watercooler radiators larger than 120 or 140, since if you put it on the top, you have really horrible airflow out. Either go for air cooling or 120 or 140mm radiator and put it at the back.
@@HayashiKaiji What about a 240 rad mounted at the front?
@@orange892 If you can reach it, then yes it's possible, but I don't think it's a good idea. The airflow front is horrendous, so you'll have to choose between... sucking a little cool air in + trapping the heat inside.
Or you choose to try and blow the air out, with the horrendous airflow in the front.
The air needs to make like a near 90 degrees turn, before able to go through the SMALL holes in the front. So; yes, possible. No, probably not a good idea.

be quiet! Silent Yawn 601
My problem with BQ cases is the length; the only place I can put is on top of my dresser and all BQ cases are too long. If they did make a case that wasn't basically the length of a case with 5.25inch bay(s), I'd buy it immediately
this is a bad case because its trying to cater to everything. if you make a case made for air cooling only it will be much better.
if you want lowest possible noise, best airflow in a case. you need 3x140mm front fans, side panel with sound dampening and exhaust fan. no psu shroud and let psu draw air from the bottom. and seal of top of case. 140mm exhaust at back. .
i have not found any deviation of what i suggested now that improves upon noise and cooling.
im just tired of seeing these half ass cases with flaws.
I love my be quiet! fans but this case looks like a disaster.
2.
is the case so big or is this dude just a tiny human lol
This case doesn't seem to be meant for a gamer or enthusiast but for a regular office computer it might be pretty good but at that point you might as well buy a computer from a major manufacturer.
David Jenkins It is definitely an enthusiast case. May not be the best. But at the price, no office/company is buying these cases for their PCs (not that they would custom build them in the first place! Lol)
@@funbucket09 I've custom built computers for small and medium sized companies for years so that's the reason for my comment
David Jenkins Fair enough. I apologise. Is this case in the price bracket many companies usually spend on PC case? I honestly have no idea. In the industry I work in, we are forced to buy the prebuilt PCs sold by the company that gives us support for our obscure, obsolete and ridiculous software systems. Stupidly overpriced too. I made the assumption most businesses would be doing something similar my mistake.
@@funbucket09 most big businesses do use computers from major manufacturers but there are many small businesses that do use low end to mid range custom built workstation computers which are what I build. I also provide manufacturer warranty on all parts and 2 year labor on everything I build
Fractal design r6 still better than this
Why complain that a case is made to be quiet, if it is here to be quiet?
I mean, while there are tradeoffs, I don't get why you would put top of the line hardware in a closed case, you're basically telling us that it's a bad idea to put a V8 in an aston martin cygnet....
Sounds as though you misunderstood what I said. Your average PC builder will be fine using this case at the expense of airflow. But at a certain point, fans ramp up so loud to compensate for the toasty hardware that the build is no longer "silent," defeating the purpose of the case altogether.
Fun fact as with most bequiet cases: If you remove the front panel it actually runs quieter (when already using quiet components).
