Review: Cooler Master MasterCase H500M
Join us for a review of the new MasterCase H500M from Cooler Master. The new chassis has that familiar in-house CM feel, yet was brought into the year 2018 with some nice modern features and the ability to go all stealth with the stuff you do not want to show. Intrigued? Sure you are, let's have a look, shall we?

Thanks for this fantastic review!
I was looking for a case with a dual 200 mm front and top fan option to replace my aging HAF-XM.
Probably the search has ended.

I love the 200mm fans. My TT Urban T81 has that setup and it's silent when you run them low and barely audible when you blast air through the case.

Yeah, like the airflow orientated nature of this case & looks pretty good too! But man, case air flow is a complicated beast when you delve into it, and it depends on the type & size of your video card as well as your CPU cooler size & style. From my own testing lots of positive effects can be had with fashioning internal baffles to direct airflow from intake fans to the components that you want to cool the most, as well as having effective exhaust in key areas. Case airflow is a complicated beast & depends so heavily on the components you have fitted as to what the best layout is - that's if you want to get into the nitty gritty of testing controlled GPU/CPU loads with different case fan configurations for instance, to get the best thermal results it's not really a set it & forget mentality, but I guess if you want to just set it & forget it then this high air flow case is not a bad choice for sure, (and you'd get even better results by fine tuning the config I imagine)!

Nice review Hilbert. I liked that you did some (subjective) sound testing too
Not my type of case design wise, and the choice to include a button for RGB galore and no reset button... is a little weird to me.
