I switched to an aio to replace my ventirad and I'm very happy with it. With an i7 11700kf that heats up a lot, the aio cools it down really well.

The be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX is a mid-tower case with a quiet design that allows you to assemble almost any configuration based on a mini-ITX, micro-ATX or ATX motherboard. The optimised interior space allows for up to 5 SSDs, a 190mm high fan and a 369mm graphics card. The tempered glass side panel offers an unobstructed view of the components inside your PC case and the ARGB backlighting adds a touch of gaming.
Be Quiet! has taken care of the quiet operation by installing 4 Light Wings PWM fans while emphasizing its gaming look. It also offers numerous cable storage options to hide unwanted cables and optimise airflow.
The Pure Base 500 FX offers generous dimensions for the installation of high-end graphics cards and large cooling systems up to 190mm high. Fans or radiators up to 360mm high can be easily installed at the front. The upper area offers space for fans or radiators up to 240 mm.
Three 120mm Light Wings PWM fans are pre-installed on the front, with optimised blades that ensure perfect airflow and constant cooling. Despite the compact design of the case, the rear fan is a 140 mm Light Wings PWM model, which also ensures very quiet operation. If required, two additional 120 or 140 mm fans can be installed in the upper position.
The power supply cover perfectly covers the cables, the power supply unit and contains a double HDD rack. The double HDD cage with decoupled supports reduces vibrations and helps to maximise silence. It can also be repositioned to fit radiators up to 360mm in front. Using the power supply bracket, the power supply can be easily installed from the rear.
ARGB LEDs offer a variety of colours and styles to customise the appearance of the enclosure both indoors and outdoors. You can optionally sync the lighting with your ARGB motherboard or controller.

Great case, well equipped.
The card to centralize all the rgb circuits and fans is a real plus!
This case is easy to cable-manage and no cables are visible
The front panel buttons/connectors are a bit simplistic
Too bad there are no extra spacers provided as one of them was clogged and therefore unusable
In the same universe: pure base 500
