Description of 🌬️ Cooler Master MasterCase H500 ARGB Airflow ATX Mid-Tower - Mesh & Transparent Front Panel, Dual 200mm ARGB Fans, Tempered Glass & ARGB Lighting System

Mesh and transparent front panel – Both the mesh and transparent front panel are included for maximized airflow and offering a crystal-clear view of the fans. Dual 200 millimeter ARGB fans – The iconic, addressable RGB fans are the core of the H-series in design and function, capable of operating quietly while moving high volumes of air due to their size. ARGB lighting system – The pre-installed ARGB fans can be managed by either the motherboard or an included controller, connected by the included splitter, to create a comprehensive ARGB lighting system. Tempered glass side panel – Gaming hardware, custom-loop cooling, and the pure pride of the builder is shown in panoramic view through an edge-to-edge tempered glass side panel. Optimized airflow – Filtered ventilation on the top panel provides additional thermal support while also offering mounting options for future cooling upgrades.

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

worth the money - the “pre-top” segment without excessive overpayment for the “unearthly” design, something a little better will be ~ 40% more expensive

Pros
  • - At the time of purchase cost 9k with delivery to the door. - Roomy, durable (heavy - not a tin can))) normal / good materials. - Large frontal ARGB turntables (200mm) - nice. - Front panel to choose from: 1) Grid with dust collector; 2) plexiglass; - Both options included.
Cons
  • Fantex cooling, as well as Noktua NH D15, will not fit into this case, if you take good RAM with high radiators, you had to take be quite Dark rock pro 4 (but quiet) - you can’t hear it even under load, regular turntables that came with the case is audible (more about the rear 120mm), but not critical.

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

Worth it - the "pre-top" sector without excessive overpaying for the "unearthly" design; something somewhat better will cost about 40% more

Pros
  • - The purchasing price at the time was $9,000 plus delivery to the door. - Generous, sturdy (heavy; unlike a tin can),)) decent or typical materials. 200mm wide frontal ARGB turntables are good. - Front panel options include: Grid with dust collector option 1 and plexiglass option 2 are both available.
Cons
  • If you use high-performance RAM and high radiators, you will need the silent Dark Rock Pro 4 case. Regular turntables that came with the case are audible (more on the rear 120mm), but not critically so. Fantex cooling and Noktua NH D15 will not fit into this case.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I thought for a long time which case to take. The big turntables were lured in. The temperature has not changed much compared to just a system without a case (at least I took into account the video card and the percentage for approximate temperatures, because there are no photos of old tests). Maybe an additional blow-out cooler will lower it by a couple of degrees. If possible, I will add a test with an additional cooler to the review

Pros
  • Capacity
Cons
  • Ill-conceived backlight switching system. To change the backlight, you have to climb into the case, because there is nowhere to put the button. Also small blowing ability

I wasn't thrilled with the product, but it can be used.

3. RGB hub, apparently, only three fans. If you want to put backlit valves upstairs, then that's it, you will have to buy a separate rgb hub. By the way, the aircule has a hub for 6 valves. 4. Rear valve 120x120 for blowing out immediately for ejection. Chinese noun for 50. It crackles terribly. Immediately add 500-1000 for an additional valve to this case. In the 2022, this particular model, like 200x200, is no longer available, only 120x120, so you have to choose another one, or look…

Pros
  • Before buying this case, I strongly recommend everyone to read my review. I am writing this review taking into account the fact that the price of this case now varies from 8000 to 9000. On the merits: 1. The good thickness of the metal, when you see the case in person, gives the impression of "solidity". Before that, there was a tin can from AeroCool One Eclipse / AirHawk (see the prices yourself). The right cover, like the AirHawk, which is especially the One Eclipse, if you pick it up, can play, hoot and flex slightly. Immediately, the H500 has a noticeably thicker lid, from which there are no such problems. Well, the weight of the case itself is 9.2 kg, against the Aerokulov ones of 5-6 kg. 2. When you open it, you understand that the case is made for people. There are rubber bands everywhere, rubber bands under the bp, the height from the floor is decent, the air intake for the bp is excellent. Nothing creaks, no backlash. The plugs for the video card are unscrewed. There is plenty of space for cable management on the side behind the rack for the mother. Many cases have a problem with this, you have to literally push the right cover with force, but here everything is ok with that. The filter under the power supply is not just some kind of nonsense that hangs there on the snot, but a mesh with a plastic frame, with a handle to make it convenient to push and pull. 3. 200x200 fans in theory should create silence. 4. The body is spacious. 5. Design. Taste. But for a four with a minus, the design of 2022-2022, although in life it looks more presentable. As for me, I consider it an omission not to cover the HDD with a casing, like bp. They did this only in the older model. Why? For convenience, to make it easier to slide in and out? Controversial, in fact, very controversial. Well, it's not a minus, you can put up with it. 6. The filter is double in front: first comes the mesh, then another one. Must catch dust. The downside is that it dampens the air flow and dust will constantly settle. Minus - the filter is not separate, as on aerocules. You can not refuse it to increase the air flow. Now let's move on to the negatives.
Cons
  • 1. The first thing you may have to deal with is the power button. Personally, I rattled like a rattle, in addition, when you press it and release it, a nasty sound was heard throughout the top panel. But this is a case for 8-9k. Even AeroCool does not have this. Why "perhaps"? Because I naturally filmed all this on camera and sent it to the manufacturer. The manufacturer first said "yes, this is the norm", and then after some time they wrote that they had checked it on their case and they did not have such sounds. Marriage? Possibly marriage. When I climbed in to see what was happening there under the button, why such a vibration occurs, everything fell into place: under the button there is a white plastic frame. This plastic skeleton is nailed to the case, which creates a kind of "tension" so that the button can move back. When you press the button, the plastic frame lowers and touches the "tumbler" itself. When the plastic frame comes into contact with the plastic toggle switch itself, a vile sound occurs. After the button returns and the plastic frame flies rapidly to its original position, it hits its frame against the plastic case, which creates such vile vibrations and sounds. Whether it is admissible such in the case for 8-9k? How did I solve the problem? I stuck pieces of electrical tape under the frame and between the toggle switch and the problem was solved. What could the manufacturer do? Just glue the rubber bands at the price of 1 under the frame and between the button. The cooler master said that they would pass this information to the right place. I do not think that this is a marriage, it seems to me that this is a constructive error. 2. How to write correctly. The body was clearly designed not for 200x200 valves, but for 120x120 valves. 200x200 valves are cut off by 30% by the body. Why? 3. The front valves have a poor set of backlight options, they don’t shine as brightly as you want + it feels like they didn’t put diodes into the fans, they saved on everything and it all looks like Chinese valves for 3 kopecks. I will continue in the comments, then it will be shorter.

A beautiful case. Lots of heatsink and fan options.

Nice case. Lots of options for heatsink and fan placement. I looked at reviews of this case from all technical clubs - Gamers Nexus, Paul's Hardware, Bitwit and Hardware Canucks. I don't remember if Linus reviewed it. In any case, Cool Master, this is a very good case. I still have a CM 690 II Advance and my EVGA X58 system has been installed on it since 2010. I also have a CM Storm Scout 2 Advance and a MasterBox 5. Looking forward to the next build and my 1080ti standing upright. The only…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Some bugs

Somewhat good but a few flaws and it's terrible CS

This is a great case but there were a few spots on the tempered glass front where the adhesive between the glass and the latches was peeling and ugly discoloration it's an eyesore. Based on the price you'd think they'd replace it, but no, they say it's within manufacturing tolerances. Awkward! It's the front glass panel, if they can't replace it, what else won't they support? Also, the "rgb controller" is just a fancy daughter board with no software. It's really completely useless with the…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Negative gift

WARNING! Do not buy because of the RGB fan headers

Where to start. ok, let's keep it short and simple. I decided to buy this one and wow what a terrible decision. I ordered all new parts for this build and was very happy with the build. I opened the box for this case, everything seems fine except: absolutely no instructions on how to connect RGB fans, literally zero. The event does not come with a. RGB controller or main hub to connect all fans (big disappointment). I installed everything and it works, but there is no RGB lighting at all. I…

Case is good but no support

I've been building a PC for 80286 days. I've used almost every major manufacturer. I rarely need a guarantee, but when I do, I expect it to be there. Cool Master wasn't there. I saved over 5 months for each part of this build. I installed everything in the case and started testing. A 200mm fan on the front would not turn on. I checked every connection, switched to different ports on the hub and even tried a 140mm fan instead of a 200mm fan. Everything worked like clockwork. My conclusion is a…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Quality

I'm a fan of NZXT towers and am planning another NZXT based build. However, I decided to try something new, something that would be different from my usual builds. The clue lies in this Cooler Master H500. It was amazing. If you like "short and crisp” bullet points, just read this part, otherwise I have written a lot of information. - up to a total of x6 (when used exclusively) 120mm fans, x4 (when used exclusively) 140mm fans or 3 pcs. (when used exclusively) 200mm fan - Mesh front panel to…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Protection
