be quiet! introduces Light Wings LX fan and Light Base PC case series
be quiet! is proud to introduce the Light Base series of PC cases with panorama design, designed with hardware enthusiasts in mind that like to see their beloved PC components at work. The series consists of Light Base 900 FX, Light Base 900 DX, Light Base 600 LX and Light Base 600 DX, with each model offering fully windowed front and side panels. Switching between regular, inverted or horizontal layout is a matter of seconds thanks to a breathtakingly easy inversion method, and the massive ARGB strip that spans around the case provides impressive illumination.
Next level versatility and usability
The Light Base series offers a fully windowed panoramic design for an eye-catching view of your system. Each model offers the three different orientations: regular (right side), inverted (left side), or horizontal (desktop style) and inverting between these orientations is a matter of seconds, thanks to the unique and easily removeable feet. To make the inside of the system look good, Light Base offers clever features such as a subtle VGA holder that works in every orientation, two ARGB/fan hubs with 12 connectors in total, support for 1x 3.5” drive and 2x 2.5” drives out of the box, user-friendly and cleanable dust filters, and a motherboard tray that fully supports all backside connector designs on the market (Asus BTF, MSI Project Zero, Gigabyte Project Stealth). The state-of-the-art I/O panel includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, a reset button, and an ARGB controller button. The cases offer impressive illumination, thanks to a massive ARGB strip that wraps around the case and supports different lighting effects.
Large dimensions for endless creativity
Light Base 900 FX is the top model of the series, offering detachable radiator and fan brackets in the top and bottom with full support for radiators up to 420 mm. On top of that, another radiator with up to 360 mm length can be installed in the side. One regular Light Wings 140mm PWM (rear exhaust) and three reverse-blade Light Wings 140mm PWM fans (side mounted) are pre-installed to provide impressive cooling capacity and illumination options. Light Base 900 FX supports motherboards up to E-ATX or XL-ATX format. For those who prefer to bring their own fans, Light Base 900 DX offers all the same features as Light Base 900 FX, but it comes without pre-installed fans.
A new level of convenience
If you’re looking for something smaller, with motherboard support up to ATX format, Light Base 600 LX has got you covered. The top and bottom of the case support radiators up to 360 mm and there is space for an additional 240 mm radiator in the side. For cooling and lighting effects, Light Base 600 LX uses be quiet!’s brand-new Light Wings LX 120mm PWM fans: one regular fan is mounted as rear exhaust and three reverse-blade fans are pre-installed in the side. Want to bring your own fans or install several radiators? Light Base 600 DX is identical to Light Base 600 FX but comes without the fans.
The Light Base case series will be available for sale on October 10 and comes with a full 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.

be quiet!, the German manufacturer for premium PC components, is adding a new model range to its extensive fan portfolio. Light Wings LX joins the existing, award-winning Light Wings fan series to enable builds with impressive lighting effects thanks to ARGB LEDs for front and rear fan blade illumination. Featuring numerous performance-enhancing features such as optimized fan blades, Light Wings LX hits the sweet spot between high performance and quiet operation, with regular versions designed as optimal case fan solution and high-speed versions to provide maximum performance for heat sinks and radiators. Light Wings LX comes in two sizes (120mm and 140mm) and two colors (black and white).
Vibrant lighting, outstanding variability, great flexibility
Thanks to an impeller with 16 ARGB LEDs to illuminate the front and back of the frosted fan blades, Light Wings LX offers breathtaking lighting effects. Light Wings LX doesn’t just look good, though: its silence-optimized fan blades are designed for great performance with low noise-generating turbulences and a low starting rpm allows for silent builds. Light Wings LX 120mm PWM and Light Wings LX 140mm PWM offer 7 blades for high airflow, making them ideally suited as case fans, while Light Wings LX 120mm PWM high-speed and Light Wings LX 140mm PWM high-speed have no less than 9 blades to produce the high pressure (up to 2.51mm/H2O) needed for radiators and heatsinks. The high-speed versions also include be quiet!’s unique closed-loop motor technology to ensure the fan speed remains constant, no matter the air resistance.
Light Wings LX is available in black and white as triple-packs, while the black models are also available as single fans. All models use a high-grade rifle bearing technology that contributes to a very long lifespan of up to 60,000 hours. A full 3-year manufacturer’s warranty is included.
The Light Wings LX fan series is available for sale from October 10.
