Cooler Master MasterCase H500M ARGB Airflow ATX Mid-Tower with Quad Tempered Glass Panels, Dual 200mm Customizable ARGB Lighting Fans, Type-C I/O Panel, and Vertical GPU Slots (MCM-H500M-IHNN-S00)

I bought this for usage as a case for my gaming hardware, and while it works well for air flow its space constraints are on the tighter side. I expected this when purchasing a case smaller than my previous one, but the reason I knock it down a star is because its tight due to poor wire management. The channels that you are intended to run your wires through dont fit some of the larger cables that your computer uses, such as the motherboards power and GPU power. It came with an additional front plate made of clear plastic incase the mesh grille one thats default isnt to your liking. After setting up this case (and installing an additional 200mm fan on the top) my hardware is kept at a steady 50 C under maximum load off of air cooling alone. The default fans in the front are quality built, and most importantly quiet. They are barely audible at idle; I have to have zero sound playing and be within 3 feet of the case to even begin to notice the sound. The default LEDs are bright and easy to configure with my boards BIOS.

Excellent case!

I replaced my 8 year old Nzxt Phantom case with this fantastic piece of equipment, and what suprized me the most has got to be those 200mm fans and how effortlessly they push air through the case at such low rpms. Half of me was honestly expecting them to be very gimmicky and mediocre, boy was I suprized and at full rpm they push some serious air.

Cooler Master took everything wrong or low grade about the H500P to heart and fixed it with H500M. The front and top panels which practically fell off the H500P are screwed in now and the seams align better. This has a GPU support bracket which I was using (now using the Cooler Master vertical GPU bracket) It has ARGB fans which I obviously love. PSU shroud is a huge improvement over the H500P Cable Management is alright, not spectacular but not bad. I have seen better and much worse. Overall quite good. Built super well, great quality, premium case Honestly I could go on and on but everything about this case is amazing except for two things. TWO CRITICISMS : The front 200mm fans are not PWM and I believe they should be, I would also like 1500rpm, hence the PWM. I get it would be loud but I want the option regardless. Personal preference but for the price of this case....I dont think it is a big ask. The next is one I have for EVERY Cooler Master ARGB fan, they simply do not put enough LEDS in the fans and I also wish they would use brighter LEDS. For a 200mm fan they should have put LEDS on the outside edge like the Corsair QL Icue fans I have or at a bare minimum used LEDS which are twice as bright.

Overall great case. The two front fans look great and work great. Cable management space is adequate but could be better and I do wish the 3.5 rack was further to the right to leave more space for cramming cables in to the psu bay. I do have one problem with the case and that is the RGB connector for the fans. It comes with a controller but for gigabyte Mbs like the one I had it said to use a different connector and plug it straight into the board via an RGB connector. The problem was that no connector on the board fit the connector so I ended up having to use the included controller which wasnt a problem but if you are someone who likes to frequently change colors of you pc and dont want to have to take the back panel off every time then I would recommend a different case.

I love it. I was skeptical that it would be too tight. I had a phantek p400 few years back and the MOBO was super tight, couldn’t plug in In peripherals straight. This one is much better. And the fans in the front are absolutely gigantic and quiet. LOTS OF AIR FLOW IN My specs: I7 Cooler master 240mm AIO RTX 2070 32gb vulkan ram Z590-PLUS ASUS MOBO I Recommend this case It has a lot of rgb connectors but just follow the manual and you should be set. It came in already connected w/ great cable management.

It is huge, I know you read the reviews and have measured the size, but it is massive! Easy to work on! however there is about 6 to 8 inches of spare space on the side of the motherboard that they could have removed. The depth is intimidating until you start putting radiators beside each other in the top, then you understand. MY EATX motherboard seems to be cowering in the corner. but this was one of the easiest builds I have ever done (Been building PCs since the late 80s & first time without any blood...

It was down to the Lian Li Lancool II, Phanteks P400, and this case. I chose Cooler Master because it was in stock, and could be shipped the fastest (no joke). These three were in the running after watching Gamers Nexus exhaustive case temperature reviews. After owning a premium NZXT Case, I didnt want my room to be a billion degrees any more. Whats better about this case? - it just works. It has the same cabling and general layout as any other midrange case, but the function is perfect (without sacrificing form). Theres not a lot to get in the way. - those 200mm fans in the front are stylish, quiet, and get the job done - my PC gets cool air in/out through it again, so the GPU and internal components dont heat up to Death Valley levels - the PSU shroud and 3.5 bay are removable My only complaint is that I cant fit a 280mm radiator, or really any radiator for that matter in the top. Thats fine, as I mounted my 280mm in the front behind the 200mm big and quiet fans, and they fit/look perfectly. This ends up being a minor annoyance, as I can still get an EVGA Hybrid card and use the back case fan slot for the radiator/exhaust.

One of the best cases I’ve ever used.

I am extremely happy with this case. There is a video around somewhere on YouTube where they did review on cooling with this and like 20 other cases. Not only did it come out near the top but it was also one of the cheaper ones. It definatley lives up to that. The cooling is great. I only added one extra 140mm fan at the top vent and set it as an extra exhaust fan. I have a 2080 nvidia and an i7-9700k processor with a cpu cooler that is probably not good enough for that CPU. I run a temperature tracking program and my cpu and gpu dont get hotter then about 62c during heavy gaming at max settings. Its all very quiet too. My old gaming laptop seems like a loud boiling jet engine now. For my first pc build i found the directions were easy to understand. The important screw holes and cords in the case are also labeled so its easier to know what to do when putting it together. The carrying handle feels sturdy so far, i transport the desktop around to friends houses to play vr games. Overall highly satisfied.
