I applaud your dedication to spending time reviewing a box with holes in it. Designed to fit so many fans you could make a couple of drones out of them.

Really good review video - very thorough and concise!

Very nice video! Very clean and professional installation....absolutely perfect! All in all good components with a nicely decent and classy look. A good and clean installation in this great and fairly priced case! Thank you for this presentation and best greatings from Germany to the UK.

it's a great idea to do a build as part of a case review: the proof of the pudding of a case is how good it is to build in. And the beer hanger? Genius!

Great to hear!

This looked incredibly neat and tidy. Very nice with a radiator on top and 3 gorgeous fans in the front in addition to the invisible dark fan at the back A very nice PC build Thank you very much for a great presentation and film quality :)

It's an amazing case for airflow. I have it. The only gripe is that the back side is pretty shallow and can cause headache during cable management

I have the "V1" and i have to say, its a pretty good case for cooling. The cable management possibilities are limited. The case does have limited space at the top due to how high the motherboard mounts.

Gracias loko, estos son los reviews que la gente necesita.

Thaks for review. This case offers good temperature condition.

Dream case, confirmed!

While everyone else is advancing, Cooler Master keeps on re-releasing old products. I`m actually expecting the CM690 2023. edition any day now.

As always, an instructive video and the build was a pleasure to watch. A very astute observation about Nvidia 40 series cards. I'm not so sure about your comments about the top dust filter: it may be useless when the PC is on, but what about when the PC is off? Shame about the fans being 3 pin and not PWM. Anyway, did my eyes deceive me or are the front panel cables socketed (and thus removable) at the front panel? That would be very useful. When you added the rear fan, was it an intake fan or an exhaust fan?

@KitGuruJames

Жыл бұрын

There is one good reason for the dust filter if I'm being completely honest. It would stop anything from being accidentally dropped into the case. The top vent holes are quite large, a screw or something similar could easily drop in. Problem is they are quite restrictive for airflow compared with that open top vent. I think some of the front panel cables are socketed, they are on a lot of modern cases. Rear fan was installed as an exhaust.

@QuentinStephens

Жыл бұрын

@@KitGuruJames Thanks. Having built umpteen PCs socketed front panel cables will make installing motherboards much easier as the cables can be fitted when the motherboard is outside the case, then routed. I have large hands and those jumpers at the bottom (power, reset, etc) can be particularly fiddly. I wonder if setting the rear fan as an intake might have improved temperatures? Keep up the great work.

Hi - where do the hard dirve and SSD drive cages go? Does it come with the usual Coolermaster toolless caddies?

Nice to see James putting so much effort into this. The last review I saw here was Luke’s and it was terrible. He looked asleep.

Probably up to 200. But that should be something incredible and fit my requirements perfectly. Considering I prefer mATX and ITX, this is huge. Not a fan of front panel design. Although I do realize unique and special front panel design is hard. To create something timeless in a cost oriented mass market after 30 years of "everything" is no easy task. In general I kind of like Cooler Master cases. They have decent price/build quality. Many brands make all the same for worse prices. BTW making rear fan exhaust made it compete for air with top rad. Not the best idea. You could make it intake (+add dust filter there), but it wouldn't help much anyway here.

I want that CPU cooler!

TD500 V2 or XPG Battlecruiser???

The TD500 Mesh V2 Front Audio Jack is not working with the MSI PRO-Z790-A-WIFI motherboard.

great layout slightly spoiled by the aging front panel design and price

do you recommend this or the phanteks eclipse g360a

Can this case handle the ASRock phantom 7900XTX GPU with MSI tomahawk motherboard?

Just got this, the RGB button on the front resets / restarts my pc, what do I need to do?

I am trying to connect my Quest 3 with the USB C types. In the front panel, it is detecting as a USB 2 and in the back panel the quest doesn't recognize the drive. The cabinet's front panel USB C is supposed to be 3.2 Gen 2 right? Where is the problem?

Anyone know what the cutout depth is in the front at ~8:50 - 9:00min?

i got one of these in december and the glass panel has two knobs and is NOT on a quick release lol. it's way too heavy

Don’t think the lack of width would be a problem with a new PSU / GPU but it’s strange becuase it doesn’t appear to be a skinny case.

@@harleylover9446 The Cooler Master case has a small cut out window in the bottom on the glass side of the case to allow a view of the power supply. Power supplies are not "aesthetically Pleasing" they are generic boxes which sit in the bottom of the case and are generally ignored once you have built the PC and only looked at when adding a component or when cleaning the PC. That space on the side could be utilised to fit a small screen (Jays 2 cents did it ) on which data like temps of components or power draw could be viewed. They are putting them on the pump housings of AIO's now as well. Other case manufacturers are doing it ie Thermaltake Ceres 500 Snow

The front might look a little dated, with you on that. The good thing about that front panel is that you can install fans between it and the chassis frame which saves space inside the case creating more room for radiators and longer graphics cards.

The V1's specs don't say that it can accept either a 280mm or 360mm radiator, yet this case does claim to. Considering it's only 6mm longer, why is that? Should the original also be able to accept these; I don't see enough difference to justify why the V2 can accept the larger radiators but this cannot.

@KitGuruJames

Жыл бұрын

Officially the V1 supported up to 360mm front radiator and up to 240mm top. The V2 can support 360 at the front and top because of the extra height of the case. V2 is approximately 30mm taller than the V1.
