Is Cooler Master H500 good? ›

Cooler Master H500 easy installation

It has excellent build quality, the extras like the pre-wired RGB splitter and bundled controller, and the extra long interior perfect for massive GPUs. When you buy a case, you hope for a hassle free installation and we got that and more, here. Overall, it's very impressive.

A performance- and aesthetics-optimized mid tower case ideal for your new gaming rig. The MasterCase H500 has two 200mm RGB front fans with controller, and an edge-to-edge, tinted tempered glass side panel to showcase the innards.

The mesh doesn't harm performance, and the filter barely does. We get a 2-degree boost over stock. The original H500P charted higher when removing the front panel entirely, but this is within variance of being a completely different set of fans.

200mm Rgb Fans With Controller

Managed by an included RGB Controller, two 200mm RGB fans come pre-installed with support for one optional 200mm fan on the top panel.

Cooler Master Technology Inc. is a computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei,Taiwan.

Other key differences versus the H500P Mesh include the front panel, where the interchangeable option influences how that panel is installed. On the H500P Mesh, there's a full extra inch of front panel mesh coverage over the 200mm fans, whereas the H500M reduces its mesh exposure to the fans by an inch.

Believe it or not, they vary as far as the precise measurements. But midtowers will generally hold an ATX motherboard (12 inches high) with a power supply (about 4 inches) and a bit of headroom for each, so roughly 18 inches tall. Once you get north of about 20 inches tall, you're probably into full tower territory.

Mini-Tower – Mini-ITX motherboards, but with a bit more space for comfort and ease of installation. Micro-Tower – Micro ATX motherboards, smaller than a full size PC, but not tiny. Mid-Tower – ATX and larger motherboards, the standard desktop-sized cases. Full-Tower – Enormous towers that can fit any motherboard.

Mid tower PC cases can typically support a wide range of full-sized components, including E-ATX motherboards, large power supplies, and horizontal or vertical GPU layouts. The extra space contained with a mid tower case can be used for more complex configurations, such as custom water cooling loops.

As part of our standard testing, we test the primary protections of all PSUs we review (Over Current, Over Voltage, Over Power, and Short Circuit). The Cooler Master V SFX Platinum 1100 passed all of our tests successfully.

The Cooler Master delivers better overall picture quality as it displays deeper blacks thanks to its better local dimming feature, and also gets much brighter in HDR for brighter highlights. The Cooler Master also has better reflection handling if you want to use it in a well-lit room.

Yes it does. Pretty much every CPU cooler confess with some thermal compound. Though some people but other compounds for the relatively small cooling performance increase, the average sort of paste you'll get with a cooler is plenty fine to use.

Great quality fans. I love the dual LEDs, they are quiet, and look great. A little pricey for fans...but hey, what can you do? The very long white label on the connector is designed for you to rip it off so cooler master does not have to warranty it.

The Coolermaster fans spin at a max 800RPM and move 90CFM of air.

It cools my laptop down significantly. It was getting to the point where whenever I had my laptop on for more than an hour, it was burning up. Using the cooler master, I don't feel much heat at all. I do sometimes re-position the laptop so that it directly over the Cooler Master fan.

Comfortable for long-term use

For as simple as the Cooler Master Caliber R1 is, it's remarkably comfortable. The removable neck and lumbar pillows, which are my preferred form of back support, do their job very well in multiple positions. The seat is wide enough for my hips while still cradling my medium-sized body.

Cooler Master is another bulk distributor of power supplies. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the company's PSUs are about as reliable as Thermaltake and Silverstone. That's mostly because Cooler Master uses the same manufacturers as its competitors to outsource its PSUs.
