I don't usually care for RGB and tempered glass, but that is gorgeous. Aside from the rear and front fans cycling in opposite directions, it is all so uniform and professional-looking.
I’ve been waiting since CES! OMFG finally can build my new Gaming PC! The satisfying sound of the unwrapping! I cannot wait get that link up ASAP thanks Paul! Love it!
Pain cpu 8086k, gpu 1080ti, 16gb Corsair ram, 360mm Corsair radiator, 500gb ssd, 1tb ssd, 3rb hd, aorus mobo, 850 PSU, it’s all on my kit at www.kit.com/fox_mamba if your interested in more detail. Very great cooling best case ever for me
I bought an H500M back in Feb 2023. Out of the box mine already had the front glass panel installed. Nor was the tower packed in a grey carry sack as seen at the 1:47 time stamp. This is my 3rd build and will be a HEDT build. One thing I would have liked to see CM do is give the option to have either glass or mesh on the top like they did on the front.
Awesome piece of kit, I'm heavy into USB ports and would love to see a Type A and also Type C 3.1 at the front. The number of USB ports is actually a strong reason why I would buy this case.
The issue I've read with the front I/O is having enough ports on the motherboard to support all of them. The only solution I've seen to allow all front I/O ports to function at full capacity is to install a PCI-E USB expansion card. What do you think?
I like the stealthy CoolerMaster logos on the power button and CPU AIO cooler. I wish they would do the same for the logo on the front mesh of the case - or even better remove it entirely.
Definitely a good idea to remove the cooler master name and just have the hexagon shaped power button. One thing that puts me off CM products is I really don't like their logo, but a simple hexagon is really sleek. Shame they didn't do the same with the logo on the front of the case.
ive had this case sitting brand new in a box for over 2 years waiting to build. life happens and now the gpu/cpu shortages arent helping at all lol. hopefully ill finally be able to build my dream pc this year!
xCrOaTiAnx its been a painful wait. I've been waiting since they first showcased it :c disappointed at the lack of LED psu shroud tho, i thought that was really unique
I kinda like the old cooler master imprinted logo.I still have one of there old glite series case which still run like a baws and are one of the sturdiest cases ever.
This case looks amazing, I've been in love with these double 200mm fans since the first H500 came out and the tempered glass is always beautiful plus the front IO is looking healthy as well. I'm definitely buying this once I get the money for a new rig.
I must say that I like the black way more than the white. Also with those cable panels on the back side I wouldn't even bother putting the glass back on that side, more so since that side is facing a wall in my room.
yay for addressable unicorn poop! i like the front panel much more than the previous versions, because it looks like you can use the glass panel without choking down the air flow as much as the older setups. and i do like that cooler master power button, its classy without being gaudy.
I just recently did a custom loop water cooling build in the h500p mesh. I will say, I think spending the extra 50 for the h500m is definitely worth it, especially since you are already paying so much for custom water cooling. You cannot mount radiators thicker than 30mm on the top with the h500p, but you can on the h500m. Also the front radiator bracket on the h500m goes all the way up to the top, where it only had holes cutout for 2 fans on the h500p. So trying to do a push pull fan configuration on the h500p is a huge pain, and you end up having to put spacers on the top fan so it doesn't bend (half the fan is on the bracket, half of it is off). Anyways, I think the h500m isn't worth the extra money if you are only aircooling / using an aio, but for custom liquid cooling, the h500m is definitely worth the extra money.
I LOVE cooler masters new way of putting their logo on. I hate when case or any part has overkill badges, all we need is a nice insignia. Good job cooler master
Even the best of us make that mistake, Paul. Thankfully, I haven't done it, but I attribute that to how many who had made that mistake and pointed it out.
I really love how the side vents in front wrap around, it gives it a unique look that I like a lot. The Plastic fail was awesome!!!. you made me smile a lot. as far as the front swappable mesh and glass panel, I think I would remove the screws and use round velcro on the screw spots, that way when I game I can use the mesh and swap it easily when I am just watching videos, surfing or trying to impress my friends ;p Thanks again for the awesome video.
Watching this with a 6 months Master Case Maker 5T leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth. At least I didn´t get the original non-mesh 500P. PS:: CM should really drop their logo sticker on the front mesh...they have already placed it on two other spots (startup button and PSU area)
Such a great case; I’ve been waiting to see this properly released and reviewed since it was first announced. If no one releases anything better before my next build, then this will be its home. :) Those larger mesh sections that also provide increased distance between the panels and fans look amazing. For me, it’s all about airflow, functionality and size, and aesthetics; this case appears to deliver on all counts. I'm definitely looking forward to all the Computex 2018 coverage as well.
DON'T USE THE GLASS on the FRONT!! It goes from worst with glass to best with mesh thermally. It cooks everything with the glass on, check out Gamers Nexus soverage. Also if switch the fans to the white one, I love that case and aRGB. Seriously don't use the glass.
Forgetting the plastic happens to the best. Jayztwocents had the same...problem. I can understand how it happens though. Especially considering how many builds and the turnaround times for each one. The case looks awesome and I agree the black emphasizes the RGB goodness.
I saw the bottom of that coldplate after you took the plastic off and you can see just how rough that surface is.. I thought my 40 dollar 120mm AIO was weird for being so rough and needing lapped, but I see now even the high end ones are skimping on smoothing the contact surfaces. Oi.
I built a H500 this past weekend and forgot to peal off the plastic from the ML240 pump too!...LMAO. I only ran it for about 5 minutes before I thought to myself "did I take of the plastic?"
i think its better than the first design. they switched from the plastic grill removable solid tempered glass. i like their heaver painted fiberglass or aluminum cases over this one.
How did you get your AIO to fit in a push/pull config? From what I read the clearance up to is only 43mm, but to do push pull you need at least 52mm on the inside. I'm looking at picking this case up soon, but need to get this sorted out.
Just curious...I'm looking to buy the h500m, but I was concerned about the clearance for mounting an AIO up top. I was going to go with the Cooler Master ML360R, but the clearance listed on the site for mounting an AIO up top is only 43mm. From what I read I thought the mounting for the ML series was over 50mm including fans. I see not only did you get it in, but you also got it in a push/pull config. What fans are you using and did you have to do anything special to make it fit?
It's probably too late for you but I'm trying to figure out how he did that as well as I just bought this case and the AIO he's using. It looks like its the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R. However its listed as having 52mm in height with fans and rad. I have no idea how he got the bottom fans and the rad to fit underneath the mounting plate thingy but I guess it is possible if you only use a 240 aio and mount it to the middle of the plate with low clearance RAM
First thing you do when you get this case is to smash the tempered glass insert and be happy, fucking tempered glass, the damn plague of the PC case industry
I literally said to myself not thirty seconds ago "if I bought this case, the first thing I'd take a hammer to that front glass piece." Glass looks great on the side panel though. Just not right over the fans.
I've been watching hours and hours of case reviews. This is the case that I am going with. I love the GPU sag mount. Looks like you can mount a 360mm AIO as well. A bit pricey but the thing looks beautiful.
I personally like the knob that needs a tool to open the side glass panel, it’s not something I need to open all the time so it’s no problem. Not as accessible for people who wanna sneak in and cop my ram sticks lol
Not plastering brand names everywhere is a good thing, also shows a bit of confidence in their design
You’re cranking out a lot of videos just before Computex. Thanks for working so hard for the sake of informing and entertaining all of us Paul.
Thanks Kyle! It was a lot of work last week but it was worth it. I've got a couple more in queue before the show!
I actually prefer that power button without the branding. There is a quality to subtlety!
I don't usually care for RGB and tempered glass, but that is gorgeous. Aside from the rear and front fans cycling in opposite directions, it is all so uniform and professional-looking.
I really like this case over the white one with this setup. With the whole blackout scheme it allows those RGB lights to really shine. Great job.
I’ve been waiting since CES! OMFG finally can build my new Gaming PC! The satisfying sound of the unwrapping! I cannot wait get that link up ASAP thanks Paul! Love it!
Ben I already bought it on Newegg and the baby is running smooth
@@FoxMamba what did you put in it?
Pain cpu 8086k, gpu 1080ti, 16gb Corsair ram, 360mm Corsair radiator, 500gb ssd, 1tb ssd, 3rb hd, aorus mobo, 850 PSU, it’s all on my kit at www.kit.com/fox_mamba if your interested in more detail. Very great cooling best case ever for me
@@FoxMamba How did you handle getting all the front I/O ports to work at full capacity?
Couldnt stop laughing when you pulled the plastic off hillarious, couldn't really hear it though maybe try and get the mic closer 😂
😂😂😂
them people that have orgasms over it fuck my life!
That's what the case should have been from the begining, good effort
Always learning & laughing with/at you
I love the direction we're going with PC cases. There's so many options.
LOVE the dual 200mm 200mm should be the standard. one or two or four or more ... they are nearly silent, move lots of air, and keep things cool.
5:50 No big deal Paul. We all make mistakes. Don't feel bad buddy 👍☺️☺️

I really dig the HEX with no words. We already know it is CoolerMaster. Just looks more pleasing to not have the words emblazoned on everything.
I like the silhouette logo. I shows a lot of class from the manufacturer and it's cleaner overall. It's very satisfying!
I just bought this case and came looking for a vid on it and my god these comments are true. The plastic peeling is top notch, so good
Definitely a good idea to remove the cooler master name and just have the hexagon shaped power button. One thing that puts me off CM products is I really don't like their logo, but a simple hexagon is really sleek. Shame they didn't do the same with the logo on the front of the case.
I like their logo, and now it's missing it gives me a note of the case being a knock-off...
Russell Jackson Agreed the case is amazing but that logo is so damn ugly
This case is my next PC's new home. Always did like Coolermaster, back when I had the HAF-X
5:53 - first time I heard your editor(?) talk. I like him! :)
Thank you Paul for those wonderful satisfying sounds of removing plastics. I can now die in peace...
ive had this case sitting brand new in a box for over 2 years waiting to build. life happens and now the gpu/cpu shortages arent helping at all lol. hopefully ill finally be able to build my dream pc this year!
LOL!!! the most satisfying ripping off of plastic sound EVERRRRR
i wouldT peel the plastic until you bulid the pc... no finger prints an no scrathes ;)
He only did it for the show.
It's satisfying tho
agreed!
Glass can be cleaned, and it doesn't scratch easily.
i mean, he didnt peel the plastic on the aio til he built the pc
Thanks so much for making this useful video. This is a real comparison between these both side by side that I really need.
I really like this new minimalistic approach with the logo. also i kinda regret not waiting for this case
xCrOaTiAnx its been a painful wait. I've been waiting since they first showcased it :c

Cool case man. And I ALWAYS enjoy your choice of music for your videos. Safe travels!
Nice one, planned a mistake to teach us what not to do. Clever teaching.
OUCH Paul! And I saw the sadistic grin on your face as you did that. lol
Thanks Paul for showing us newbies that even tenured builders make dumb little mistakes haha!
"Reverse-ASMR" was a bold move. I can respect that even if my ears are now bleeding.
The plastic removal was so DAMN FUNNY
I'm in love with this case. First time for everything.
Paul's Hardware: Now with 1000% more ASMR!
I must say that I like the black way more than the white. Also with those cable panels on the back side I wouldn't even bother putting the glass back on that side, more so since that side is facing a wall in my room.
Cooler Master killed it, I am impressed
Careful when you close your eyes when he removes the plastic cling wrap. You might explode with excitement. It's quite satisfying to hear.
im normally not one of your biggest fans but dude that was the best peel ever
yay for addressable unicorn poop! i like the front panel much more than the previous versions, because it looks like you can use the glass panel without choking down the air flow as much as the older setups. and i do like that cooler master power button, its classy without being gaudy.
5:53 BWAHAHAH REALLY !?
poor paul LMAO
its the one thing I ALLWAYS tripple and quadruple check, I dont want to accidentally kill a CPU
This never happens to me.
because I only buy used parts.
😳😭😭😭
lacucaracha111111 lmfao ohhhhhh noooooooo
Not a big fan of that case but it's looking pretty slick. Also I'm happy seeing even an experienced PC builder makes noob mistakes like me.

Can't say I've ever left on the protective cover before but seeing someone else do it is kinda enjoyable lol
Best video I’ve seen of this case so far. Thanks for showing us this.
Even the best of us make that mistake, Paul. Thankfully, I haven't done it, but I attribute that to how many who had made that mistake and pointed it out.
I still love the old Coolermaster Stacker case, wish they'd do an updater version. That and the Antec 900 were fantastic cases.
I really love how the side vents in front wrap around, it gives it a unique look that I like a lot. The Plastic fail was awesome!!!. you made me smile a lot. as far as the front swappable mesh and glass panel, I think I would remove the screws and use round velcro on the screw spots, that way when I game I can use the mesh and swap it easily when I am just watching videos, surfing or trying to impress my friends ;p Thanks again for the awesome video.
This convinced me to go for RGB on my next build.
this is what I hoped for in the H500p , the acrylic is cheap for the H500p
lacucaracha111111 the top is still a "motel 6 bed" according to GN though lol
BOS2161 hahaha that whole deal is my favorite thing to happen in the pc case world
Watching this with a 6 months Master Case Maker 5T leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth. At least I didn´t get the original non-mesh 500P.

start a plastic peeling ASMR channel
Ben H if u search for pc asmr u get some funky stuff
ATM causes ASMR
Love the coolermaster logo without the name! Looks soooo much cleaner!
I actually really love the nameless button on the front io
Dogs went NUTS!!! Re-played that a few more times to desensitize them... 😁
Did you notice better cooling with a radiator on top or behind the front fans? Thinking of starting a new build with this case.
Forgetting the plastic happens to the best. Jayztwocents had the same...problem. I can understand how it happens though. Especially considering how many builds and the turnaround times for each one. The case looks awesome and I agree the black emphasizes the RGB goodness.

Didn't know that he went from stealing chipmunks to building PC's ;D
That's a sexy af case. I'm also really glad they added the bracket part for the gpu sag
Yay a revision of a revision of a stifled hot mess.

So I got all the way through your video and didn't see you mount the graphics card vertically now I'm crying. Jesus wept too
Holy cow that case is beautiful!!!!

Awesome to show the fail. So glad I'm not the only one that does that. : )

@@KingRc72 Then there isn't enough space for a smooth exhaust air flow unless you take the lid off
Have fun @ Computex Paul!
Best looking CM 500 case yet!
can the h500m support a 360 rad on the top?
Yep, I put the NZXT Kraken x72
i would not want a glass front less air for those fans, i think i would stick with the mesh
Yum, needs another 2x 200mm fans up top & a matching 140mm fan stock & the rest is pimp af
I'd want it in White tho.
I prefer the Cooler Master name inside the hexagon.
Awesome Version of this Casemodel - very nice in addition-Details compared to the P-Mesh one, very nice Review Paul - thanks a lot :-)
Not just a pretty case, it's a life style...
First thing you do when you get this case is to smash the tempered glass insert and be happy, fucking tempered glass, the damn plague of the PC case industry
I literally said to myself not thirty seconds ago "if I bought this case, the first thing I'd take a hammer to that front glass piece." Glass looks great on the side panel though. Just not right over the fans.
You should do a sleeper build. No Rgb components at all and have it be insane while looking cheap.
I like the logo it's simplistic
I love the no words in the logo. So sick of words in logos on cases.
wow computex is next week? that was quick man how time flys. :)
I've been watching hours and hours of case reviews. This is the case that I am going with. I love the GPU sag mount. Looks like you can mount a 360mm AIO as well. A bit pricey but the thing looks beautiful.
That's the model I want. It's a better case by far. That's the case for my second PC.
My dog started barking like crazy LMFAO
I personally like the knob that needs a tool to open the side glass panel, it’s not something I need to open all the time so it’s no problem. Not as accessible for people who wanna sneak in and cop my ram sticks lol
Ooooo, a nylon carry bag. I could have used something like that to lug my Thermaltake Xaser VI around over the last 10+ years.
i like the new no logo thing from cooler master
the hex looks sick
That is a good looking case.Thanx
Really good upgrade, but I wish front I/O plastic wasn't so glossy. -_-
okay that peel on the final piece sounded like someone farting.. lol
1:52 OMG this sound is heaven!
How the hell is that heaven that's earrape
