Questions about this item
How do I confirm the three pre-installed Silent Wings 4 fans are running correctly after building in the BGW59?
Connect the PWM hub to a motherboard header, power on, and verify each 140 mm fan spins; use the case's 3-step fan controller or BIOS to adjust speed and listen for smooth operation.
What does the Dark Base 701 box contain and which major parts must I purchase separately for a complete build?
The case includes three 140 mm Silent Wings 4 fans, a PWM and ARGB hub, tempered glass side panel, dust filters, and drive trays for two 3.5" and three 2.5" drives; you must add a power supply, motherboard, CPU cooler, graphics card, storage, and memory.
Which version of the Dark Base 701 should I choose if I need maximum radiator support and GPU clearance?
This BGW59 white model supports front and top radiators up to 360 mm, a rear 120 mm radiator, graphics cards up to 430 mm long, and CPU coolers up to 185 mm tall, fitting E-ATX boards up to 30.5 x 27.5 cm.
