Technical data
First of all, I’ll leave you with the obligatory table:
Size comparison
If you’re wondering how the Dark Base 701 fits into the current lineup in terms of size, I have a simple but informative comparison chart for you. In black, the case looks slightly more compact than the recently tested white Shadow Base 800 FX, but it is actually a few millimeters larger in all dimensions.
Features
Now let’s move on to the features. I have already presented most of them in the previous unboxing section. Here are the features that BeQuiet! emphasizes in the official product description.
MAXIMUM AIRFLOW
Optimized for maximum performance
The Dark Base 701 Black with its extremely air-permeable front and top panels is the right choice for anyone looking for maximum airflow – whether for water- or air-cooled systems.
SILENT WINGS 4 PWM HIGH-SPEED FANS
3 pre-installed fans for maximum cooling
The Silent Wings 4 140mm PWM high-speed make no compromises between maximum performance and almost inaudible operation. The exceptionally high air pressure contributes significantly to the good cooling performance of the Dark Base 701 Black.
USER-FRIENDLINESS AT ALL LEVELS
Versatility for all users
The Dark Base 701 Black is designed for users of all experience levels. A bracket on the top and front makes the installation of fans and radiators as convenient as possible. Drives can be installed in a few simple steps without tools. Both PC building veterans and beginners will appreciate the time-saving inversion of the system, while lovers of a tidy interior will be happy with the intelligent cable routing options. Fans of vertical graphics card installation can use one of the vertical PCI slots with an optional riser cable.
MADE FOR CUSTOM LOOPS
Your playground for water cooling
Dark Base 701 Black sets practically no limits to your creativity. With its large dimensions and a radiator compatibility of up to 360mm, you can consider the Dark Base 701 Black as your playground – and as a new home for your individual custom loop water cooling.
PRACTICAL CONNECTIVITY
Hubs for fans and ARGB devices
The Dark Base 701 Black has a combined PWM and ARGB hub for up to 8 PWM fans and 2 additional ARGB devices. This board is located behind the mainboard tray and is connected to the fan and ARGB controls of the front I/O panel. The pre-installed fans are connected to the fan hub as standard, so you have the cooling of the case directly under your control without having to reconnect cables.
TIMELESS DESIGN WITH ARGB LIGHTING
Come to stay
The Dark Base 701 Black is instantly recognizable as a high-end case from be quiet! The voluminous design makes a statement in any gaming room and makes it clear: the Dark Base 701 Black is here to stay. ARGB LEDs on the front offer a variety of colors and modes to customize the look of the case. Optionally, you can synchronize the lighting with your mainboard or an ARGB controller.
TEMPERED GLASS SIDE PANEL
The perfect view into the PC
The high-quality, glazed side window offers a perfect view of the components in the PC. The side window is equipped with tinted tempered glass and has blackened side frames.
Fan compatibility
Radiator compatibility
Because it is often not clear from the manufacturer’s specifications whether the largest possible radiators can be mounted at the respective positions at the same time, I tried this out again here. It should also be mentioned that BeQuiet! is exemplary in not withholding this information from the customer:
However, I preferred to question the theoretical information once again and try it out in practice. In principle, you can install two 360mm radiators at the same time.
However, you should then adhere to the manufacturer’s thickness specifications or not position the radiator connections at the same corner, as it could then become quite cramped.
Overall, I think it’s a bit of a shame that you can only mount 360 mm radiators in the front and not 420 mm, as I think 140 mm fans have largely replaced 120 mm fans.
