Bequiet! Dark Base 700

[orbitalwalsh]

Seems the perfect blend of Pure 600 with Pro 900

Didn't expect it to have inverted design aswell and seems shroud comes off in stages .
RGB down subtly which h is nice, really didn't expect this from bequiet , be interesting to see one synchronised with a board

Silent 3 fans are a plus, like the Pure's but everyone wants the silent wings without paying the price for them haha

Available for preorder now.

Guessing a combo deal with PSU and Silent Loop would be a silent killer...

Falls nicely in the middle, still think bequiet needs to drop Pure to £85

Another reviews , skipped to the cooling section

That's what I was thinking...how does it work? It's completely blocked. Evolv has more holes and it's still an oven.

Seems the rack is lower down, and exit out of the rear and top back of the case.
Guessing the one release more on possitive pressured case, large rad at the front and exit fan at the rear, maybe two .
Could be wrong

From an EU reviewer
"Germany has put out sliding sleds that allow VERYconvenient mounting to up to three 140- or 120-millimeter fans and adequate heat sinks from liquid cooling systems. What's more, it explains why we do not have a standard rectangular vent with many perforations"

Seems have to wait to see what that's about

Recommended it a few times and yes , board can control it. Come boards give out connecters or some cases have their gone to connect it to the boards header.
Forum member in here bought two 700s and posted pictures up, does look stunning and lighting controlled through their board
