JDTechGear I need help plugging in the fans it’s my first pc build
Hey Man i might of missed it in the video, but does this case come with a remote to change the rgb fans on the front
Are the temps under load?
I would assume that gap between the front panel and that shroud is for radiator clearance while still keeping the shroud in place.
Wow great review i think even in 2021 this is best value case !
What a review! The most detailed review on youtube about this case! You are very clear and the quality of the video is very high! Good job, keep doing as well as you are doing bro!
Didnt you watch the gamer nexus video?
69th like 😏
I bought this case today and i love it. One of the best cases at $100 that i've ever worked with.
Good to hear, that’s the one I plan on using to build my pc
@Cat Mafia Well that's your fault for not reading the specs, can't blame that on the case.
Thank for reviewing this. Because of you, I took the plunge and made my first PC Case purchase since 2011--Yeah, it's been that long since my i7 2600K build.
3:30 nice plant
I'm doing my first ever build and was looking into this case. Thanks for the review.
Ayy me too brother
Take my money cooler master. Take it NOW!
Dude, you’ve gone and done it again! This is my favorite case showcased on your channel so far.
Cooler Master is my top 2nd case maker after Fractal Design, and I can actually see myself building a PC in this beauty (unfortunately, not too soon). They’ve finally admitted that efficient PC air movement was their true and only claim to fame. So, the H500 stands as a strong manifestation of that fact, also the great affordability!
Cooler Master for the win!
Thanks man!! This is one of my favorites along with a couple others, it has a good amount of personality and AIRFLOW!!
Thank you for this review! I ordered this case yesterday and clearly I made the right choice. Very excited to have it arrive!
Why do people put so much emphasis on the front screws, how often do you remove the glass for it to be a problem, unless you’re using the case as a birdcage?
I think I removed the glass twice since I built my system, hardly even remember doing it.
There's plenty of people that swap parts constantly, even just conducting a regular cleaning, or any troubleshooting. There's many use case scenarios. Also, the In Win 101 was able to make a near flawless and easy TG panel removal for a $70 case, that sets a standard for other manufacturers. I do understand where you're coming from though
Something I really prefer about this case is that those screws are there, and they are the way they are. I don't like the appearance of thumb screws, and I can just use a plastic tool of some kind on the screws to avoid scratching the glass. I'm building a PC soon, and the more I see of this case, the more I like it. The only thing I don't like about it is the HDD bays.
Biggest selling point for me was how this came with installed fans. I was looking at getting an $89 case and buying fans separately, but it would have came out to the same price overall.
Literally the best review on this case. Not a single sentence was a waste of time.
Very well done! Thank you.
The gap is probably because they thought of radiator mounting on front covering the cables.
A push-pull setup is done out of the box with this if you have an aio with you. The reason why this case is such a great one for such a budget price is because of the 2 huge fans in front. You already have a push-pull setup with just your aio stock fans without trying to purchase more fans. I love it.
Do you think I need extra fans with this one?
This is another great case offering, given to us by Cooler Master.
I'm a huge Cooler Master fan.
I also have plans of doing another PC build soon and this case would be an excellent choice for it.
I like how this case sits high of the surface. Allowing for good airflow all around.
Nice review, of an overall topnotch CM case.
I know you've been live streaming on Twitch, because I've been watching the streams.
Why no mention of this?
Anyway, thanks for the video review.
Thanks Geo, hope this case can serve you well.
I'm going to start mentioning it at the end of my videos soon, I keep forgetting to integrate it into the video XD
Was looking into this case. Best review I've found so far. Everything you want in a quick package.
Dope b-roll at the end bro. And the song was killer.
I will order this, great case. Thanks for review
I love that you don't have the typical fake youtube enthusiasm and that you didn't harp on one thing for 10 min straight. Great info too, I think you sold this case for me. Subbed as well, have a good one man.
Just finished my first build with this case. Highly recommended. Cable management was great, everything mounted well, front fans are great, and the it looks great!
I'm about to do my first build with this case too, thats good to hear! Do you recommend installing top fans? Or is it enough without?
One word to describe that case: SEXY
oh yeh
Agree
at 4:42 the tooless sdd mounting what are those screws called? I cant find them anywhere on the internet
Very nice up close shots... better than many other videos I've seen and the little things to expect, like how to take out the dust tray... well done.
Great video as always! After using InWin's tooless sidepanels everything else seems subpar. I'm just glad this case doesn't use the four peg/thumb screw mounting that a lot of cases use.
Dang thanks man! I know right, absolutely love In WIn's panel design. Haven't found an easier method yet. This case is a step in the right direction though!
Been in It for 30 years thanks for the no bs explanation it is was very helpful
Best review I've seen on this case. Awesome.
Thanks for reviewing the case! :D
Thanks for watching :)
I built my first two PC's in Cooler Master HAF 912's. I love the old school design of Cooler master. I think it's time to upgrade.
Greatest review of this case. Getting it in 4 days for my brand new update! Thanks!
Nice review, thinking of using this case with my build. Appears to have good air flow for a $100 case
watching this on a pc with that case
Liked the H500 for my old build so much that I bought another for my new build!
The front fans are drastically blocked on this case by the chassis. Cutting out the front chassis to match the fan size yielded me a 4C drop on GPU and CPU.
This review just clinched my purchase. It was either this or the 460x.. as a newbie builder this looks like a case I can approach with a bit of confidence and if I'm going to spend the next few years with it almost daily, I'm going to need it to look good.
Thanks for the detailed video! I just bought it & it looks great. I appreciate the insights you shared about its strengths & weakness (no usb-c up front). Waiting for my gpu to arrive & then we start building!
I just bought this, switching from a Phanteks P400 to the Cooler Master H500 because my Vega 64 blower temps were high (after removing my Phanteks front panel, temps dropped close to 10c!).
Nice Review. For those looking to buy this case, here's my 2 cents. The 2 200mm fans in the front will only take Cooler Master brand. If you want others, it may take some bending/modification. The top won't fit a 360 AIO, which is a major downside to this case, and the only placement for a 360 is behind the 2 200mm fans, which can choke the airflow. but, for $100, this case is sexy and is worth it. Its very clean and simple, just wish it was 2 inches taller to accommodate a 360 AIO.. Good review.
I'll be building a new PC in the next month and the case choice is pretty much between this and a Fractal design R6. Both come with full cooling solutions using decent fans.Both have good front I/O which seems uncommon at any price point. This has better airflow. The R6 is quieter, with some extra features I'd likely use but aren't dealbreakers. It's also $30 more expensive. RGB isn't a consideration for me and I wouldn't plug it in if I went with this. I don't think I'll go wrong either way.
I plan to grab this for my very first build with coincidentally that same ASUS board and a Ryzen 7 1700. I've been fixing PCs all my life but was always too intimidated by the thought of bricking $600+ worth of hardware. After seeing the Verge build disaster actually post, that made made me feel like I could do it. XD
Have had that case for at least a year now, and still love it. Got it in Canada for $142.
@4 أنمي 72,I believe. Before I set a fan curve. In games, usually sits somewhere between 62-68.
@4 أنمي setting the fan speeds manually, based on temperature.
@4 أنمي No problem. Right now I'm running SWTOR, not a real intensive game to run, at 1440p, ultra settings, and temp is sitting around 53c.
@4 أنمي I'm a fan of the Cooler Master cases. Their look, and function. It depends on your price point. I mean, I think one of their top line cases is the Cosmos. C700p, I think. It's like $3-400 though. If you're looking at the $100-150 price range, I'd definitely recommend this one. I'm sure there's some other good ones, I just own this one. lol This one has room, airflow, etc.
Your audio is sick, what mic and interface are you using bro? your shirt you're wearing is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now for the review, you always kill the reviews, IDK why your views isn't up in the thousands +. I love every review you do, it's so detailed and nail every single point and you put your all into it. Your videos are so clear again audio is GREAT. Cooler Master has great products and always do great building it.
Thanks man! ;) I've got all my equipment in the description on Kit.com but I'm using the Audio Technica AT2020 microphone! Dang brother your comment has me floored. I can't thank you enough for it. Going to have more case reviews coming very shortly actually!
JDTechGear ooh i like kit. I'll have to look. You're welcome.
bro, no one reviews like you.... damn awesome video
Amazing value for the money and sexy looking pc case. Will fit perfectly for my Zen 2 set up coming up this summer! Thanks for the detailed review.
@Son_Of_Thanos Nope i havent bought the case yet.
Man, great video.
Keep up thee work my fair sir, for ye shall soon become big in thee youtubez.
Thanks man, I hope to keep growing for sure!
What a good and depth review! I really see effort put into this review. Keep it up
I just got the H500M. The case is a beauty. Worth the 200 bucks I spent on it.
Most detailed case review + Hardwarecanucks quality b-roll = sub
way better looking than the NZXT H500 and Phanteks P350X cases . I see AIR Flow written all over this case .Great job Cooler Master for listening to all of our reviews and complaints from the previous H500P models !!! I like it aluuuut!
Just wish it kept the length of the H500P so there could be 360 worth of fan or radiator for the top.
I have this case and I love it, great air flow and it looks awesome
Another great video JD! Enjoyed the professional feel to the video as usual!
Anyways, Wondering if you could, if by chance, do a case review on the Phanteks p300 as a budget PC case!
Great case that doesn't blow the wallet away and gives it an nice aesthetic look that pleases the eye! Well mine anyways!
Ayy thanks dude!
Hmmm I'll see if I can, I don't want everyone to be fatigued with case reviews, but I think I've seen some new Phanteks cases coming to the market soon!
Great and complete review, awesome video quality, thanks!
Very detailed and helpful review, thanks.
Nice video. Thank you a lot. You helped me very much, as I am interested in this PC case
Not sure if it's still relevant but I bought this case about a month or so ago after they came out with the argb version and this rear panel screws are like the tempered glass screws. Looks like cooler master listened to feedback
This was a great review, thank you
love this case very well presented video clear and concise very detailed nice job.
Such a good vid shame I came sooo late the price tripled its not £286 or $300
This case is FANtastic
I love this case but I can't stand the fact that the CPU cooler fan and the rear fan don't align perfectly... I'm actually going with an AIO liquid cooling solution just to avoid that, even if I'd prefer air!
More than a year later, can't find any at 100. Did the price go up?
They are like 120 now because of COVID 19
Very detailed review! Does the stock case fans support AURA Sync? And what brand of aftermarket fans did you use in this build? +1 subs for you bro!
What do you mean by "stepping up their game"... they are one of the pioneers of PC cases :)
Well one of their recent cases was fairly mediocre as a $250 case and constricted airflow, but a lot of the design choices have been more airflow oriented thankfully!
their h500p has been given a lot of crap because the panels literally would fall off during handling. Before the MESH version came out case temps were horrid, it wasn't until people complained and big youtubers complained that they stepped up their game. Sad part is, they took the reviews badly and even ignored previous youtubers they worked with because of the bad reviews they refused to acknowledge.
Not gonna lie, i thought it was ugly at first glance. But after looking it over a few times... i realized that it's fucking gorgeous.
The one thing about this and other CM cases (like my Masterbox 5) is the giant unfiltered hole in the front foot. I plugged mine after the cat knocked a packing peanut through it and it got sucked into a fan.
Good to know, I just ordered this case
Mine comes tomorrow, now I just have to buy some parts to put in it!
Hi, loved the review, I just have a question.
The 200 mm fans, they are RGB as I can see, but can they be set to only glow in blue and nothing else?
Using Cooler Master's software I'm sure you could set the fans to be any color you'd want. And there is the included RGB fan controller that could probably switch between colors.
Great review. Very good case this.
I would think the gap in the front could be used if you wanted to put in a liquid cooling setup
Great Rev good job!
it's my first pc build I'm planning now and I have a question for you.
Is it possible to put a liquid cooler in this case without messing up the airflow and rise the temperatures?
this is a good review. well done.
I am between Cooler Master H500 and Lian Li Lancool II Mesh
Great review
Great detailed review! The shots of the case was out standing! Good job. But is it Fred worthy? :P
200m front fans, but the opening is only for 120mm fans?
Those top and rear RGB fans. Did you fit those on the included controller?
Hey jdtechgear I know I’m late to the party but which fans were you using in this build? Thanks 🙏
I want this case. Mesh for Summer, Acrylic for Winter =P
200mm fan has aura sync?
This is best case. Already useing
Need this in Australia now! i can't find a perfect case at all this is it!! ffs not out yet already ordered my parts...
Yeah it's pretty new to the market, hopefully I can find it on the other online retailers soon!
Hoping man legit i was looking for new cases for 3 hours last night nothing i could find that i like besides the H500 Black and Mesh with RGB fans on front is legit perfect. I just sent a email off hoping to get confirmation on when they'll receive it otherwise i'll order online. Gtx 1080 and 2600x can wait patiently in my study lol.
Hey JD!
I noticed you added a couple of fans up top, and replaced the out-of-the-box rear exhaust fan.
I assume the rear fan is still exhaust, and that you kept the front fans there for the intake, but what about the top fans? How did you configure them? And would it be necessary in a 1440p build? (Something along the lines of Ryzen 1700X and a GTX 1070ti)
Great case thanks you , i will chek it hope hape have it stok in Spain
How is the original fans? are they good enough to keep? i plan on changing them to noctua 2x 200mm front, 2x 140mm top and 1x 120mm rear. i wanted to reduce all my heat issues. if they are good enough, i can save some money because those noctua are expensive but best in class
I'm just looking for a case that can fit my cpu tower cooler and gpu vertically with the cablemod pci-e mount.
This one looks...kind of possible.
thanks for the great review, I am torn between this case and the newer Lian Li Lancool 215, but due to availability in Canada I am leaning towards this one. As I have huge thermal issues with my current Corsair case. Thanks for the great review
Hello, I am also torn between these 2 cases. How's your experience with the thermals with the H500?
@@wreckzu love it! I purchased 2 of them! Very easy to work in and cable management was enjoyable! Case looks great, I used the mesh front (not the clear front) for thermals and everything runs super cool even with intense gaming. Case is quite aswell, as the front fans are so big they move alot of air without much rpm's.
Being a full mesh front, dust can be pulled into the case a bit easily, but just give the front a quick wipe here or there and your good.
@@capidano6248 regarding gpu thermals, did you put additional fans underneath?
@@wreckzu notta , the 2x 200mm fans at the front bring in quite alot of fresh air and using only the single 120mm exhaust at the back. I have had no issues.
I also use the shroud over the PSU so it is enclosed and has no effect.
I am running a ryzen 5 in both cases that we own and a 6700xt gpu in one case and a 3060ti in the other. While putting in a couple hours of CoD, Farcry 6, Division 2 all at ultra settings @1080p the cards and fans don't break a sweat. Most times hovering around 55 - 60°C.
Hope this helps, Any other questions fire away!
My dad owns the Lian Li 215 (similar look and design with the 2x200mm front fans), and it is also a very nice case, but this one seems to have a more premium feel.
@@capidano6248 hello Capi. Thanks for the replies. Got my system transplanted to an H500 for almost a month now and yeah I can say it's a great case. I am now able to play Breakpoint at ultra settings and the gpu temp is great. I tried the top additional fans setting in the video but maybe because I have a smaller u9s cpu cooler, 1 additional top exhaust fan worked better. :)
Nice Review! Howmany motherboard standoffs do you install btw? I always dont know howmany to take.
Thanks 🙏 for the details bud
✨👽👽👽✨
Another great video!
Ayyyy thanks Warped!
How come people dislike thumb screws so much?
I want one like this but with an optical drive and no rgb.
LookingGlassProject juat change the Front Fans
What do you do when you go to get new products and dont have a discount slide
Are you able to switch the front fronts towards the top of the case and include a water cooler towards the front instead?
What kind of internal fans are those?
Hey JD, great review man, do you know if it is possible to mount another fan on the bottom if you remove the hard drive cage? Is there a way to get either a 120 140 or 200 mm fan in that spot? If not directly do you think its possible to put a fan there with only one or two screws. I am planning on mounting my 240 mm radiator in the front because I do not want to cut it so close with my ram and motherboard by mounting it on top. Idk but I was wondering your input. Thanks!
QUESTION: Is that small exhaust fan on the back enough for those big 200mm intake fans on the front?. Should I buy two more fans to compensate?
Grate video.. will this case be able to fit the H100i v2 on the top??
Been thinking of upgrading from my CM Stormscout, as I lost most of the parts needed to upgrade the internals etc. long ago :(
Can anyone compare the interior room between the two?
thank you for this :)
Thank you for watching :)
Great informative video! I have somes questions, I want to pair the H500 with A kraken X62. Since its a 280mm, the radiator could only be installed behind the two 200mm fans, but how should I install the two 140mm fans that comes with the X62 for optimal air flow? on top? on the radiator (pull)? or in any case, what other AIO water cooling solution would you recommend for this particular model? Thank you in advance.
Is the plant in the case at 3:30 powering the PC? I heard it's an all in one hardware
