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've happily used Cooler Master cases since the HAF, but was disappointed with the H500's airflow when I switched to it in 2017. However I'm glad to say Cooler Master regained their footing with the H500M. It keeps my favorite things about the H500 design, and greatly improves several shortcomings I had to deal with. The top panel no longer sits loosely on the case so if I needed to carry the case out, I can do so without having to take it apart or worrying about dropping it. The top radiator/fan mount is now 360mm instead of 240mm max so I was able to mount a larger radiator for cooling. It has a USB C port on the front, FINALLY. There's even a discreet built in GPU mount for the saggiest of video cards. But most importantly of all, this thing is an AIRFLOW BEAST. 10900k at 5.2 sits around 50c on full load, 3080 doesn't go past 65c on full load. With the newest GPUs pulling so much power it's more important now than ever to get a good airflow case. If you liked the style of the H500 but were turned away by lack of airflow, the H500M is the case for you. My one con, if I had to say something, would be that although it supports EATX just fine, the cable shroud you would usually tuck your 24 pin behind sits flush with the side of the 24 pin terminal on my motherboard, at least. I was able to route my 24 pin extension around to the other side of the shroud in an aesthetically pleasing way so no real issues. Just keep that in mind. Other things about this case worth mentioning: The dual tempered glass side panels make this case heavier than normal but it gives it a nice symmetrical look and sheen. You won't have to worry about errant cords being visible through the glass because with the entire H500 line there are several wire panels that hide your mess, keeping that nice clean look no matter how much your cable management sucks. The top panel is still not meshed except for side vents but there is noticeably more headroom between the case frame and top of the panel allowing for excellent exhaust flow. The two front 200mm fans are markedly improved from their H500 versions, with more LEDs and quieter bearings. The PSU and HDD shroud below can be configured in many ways, but if you have a 360 radiator for the front intake and want to keep the shroud, there is fortunately a slot that pulls out from the front enabling that particular configuration. It's listed as a mid sized tower and it is, but the H500M is large for its class. Roughly 22 inches tall, 21 inches deep. Its main feature is excellent airflow, but the H500M should be noted as being a very modular case, and can accommodate many kinds of builds. I was almost tempted to go custom loop because of the built in pump bracket and space for two 360 rads.

Tempered glass fans, rejoice! If you love showing off your rig, this case is for you. I have spent a ton of money over the past several months to complete my dream rig. After four failed attempts at finding the perfect case, along comes this beauty. The price is very reasonable for such a high quality product. This thing is built like a tank, easy to clean and has a ton of space for even the largest motherboards out there. Airflow is silly good! The included argb fans are simply amazing. (see video) This beauty holds inside an ASUS ROG STRIX X570 motherboard, R9 3900x cpu, ASUS ROG STRIX 2080ti, 32 gb Patriot Viper RAM @3200 MHz, TT 750 Toughpower Grand PSU (Gold) DEEPCOOL captain rgb 240mm AIO, 2 TB Sabrent Rocket Nvme ssd (gen 4) and of course two 2 terabyte platter HDDs for storage. All that out of the way, there is still plenty of room to add whatever shiny add ons you may want to include. I love this case... have had it for six months with zero issues. If you have any questions, I would love to answer them. Pros and cons! Pros: Shiny, Pretty, Spacious, easy to maintain, Built to last, also easy to build in. Cons: Um yeah, none. Although this is a “niche” pc case, I assure you if bling is your thing... this is your best and only option.

Love this case. Allot of room for any components. Up to E-ATX MB. Can Fit any RTX 4000 Series Card. I got the Cooler Master Vertical Mount Adaptor for my build. Very good build quality. Love that they include both glass and mesh front panel. Love the number of inputs for USB on the front of the case. I replaced all the fans with Corsair Corsair iCUE LINK QX Fans, 3 x140mm at the front, 1 x 140mm at the rear, CORSAIR iCUE Link H150i LCD at the top. MSI RTX 4070 Ti. BeQuite Dark Power 13 1000 watt. Asrock X570SPGRIPTIDE Mb Asrockx570s Pg Riptide. G.SKILL Trident Z RGB Series (Intel XMP) DDR4 RAM 64GB. All fits without issue and plenty of room. Great air flow. Everything running cool and quite. I would recommend this case to anyone.

There was a lot of thought put into the versatility of this case. You can swap a mesh front panel with a tempered glass panel. You can remove a cutout to expose your power supply. You can remove another cover to allow you to front mount a 360mm radiator if you choose. One of my criteria was that I needed at least 380mm of radiator bracket space on top to mount my Alphacool Eisbaer 360mm AIO. The end tanks on this rad are larger than most, necessitating approximately 380mm of lengthwise mounting space. Most cases that advertise the ability to top mount a 360mm rad are very difficult to actually get it to fit while having the clearance for your RAM and the rear I/O shroud on the motherboard. The H500M, with it's removable radiator bracket and spacious domed top panel makes mounting even the largest and thickest of 360mm radiators a breeze. You could even do a push/pull config if your fans aren't too thick. The included 200mm intake fans, while being only 3 pin fans and operating at a single speed, are virtually silent while also giving you aRGB functionality. The included adjustable GPU bracket is a nice option too as well as the water pump mount. On the back side of the motherboard tray, there are three removable wire covers that help clean up unsightly cables. These trays could be a little deeper to give you some additional clearance, but I got them to fit back on nonetheless. I would give overall wire management a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. It would be nice to have some cable port grommets like most Fractal and Phanteks cases do. And it would be nice to have some port holes in the top of the PSU shroud so you could route your 8 pin GPU cables from directly below. Overall this is a terrific case, and the overall quality is better than average. Any price below 200 dollars is a good deal IMO. This case does what good cases do, it gives you the option to be as creative as you want to be with your build.

Most of this case is pretty well thought out. I love having space for four 200mm fans (good cooling without loud noise). The case is really solid construction internally, though some of the external parts (like the front cover) seem to come off pretty easily. It was nice that the case came with a bracket to support longer graphics cards. The screws on the side open/close inconsistently- it seems to take a bit of trial and error to get them aligned properly to take the glass side off. The backside isn't quite deep enough to do a great job of cable management (not deep enough for a glass side that shows it off). The RGB controller that comes with it seems like it was an afterthought- using the reset button to change programs (as the manual suggests) is esp. challenging- as the front case cable only barely reaches if you install the controller where it is supposed to go. A modular power supply is a good match for this one- there isn't a lot of room under the power supply cover if you also use the hard drive cage. Pretty good space for a 360 mm radiator on the front. I did a custom water loop install without space issues. If you need to move the case frequently, this isn't a great case for that- if you avoid lifting from the front (to avoid knocking off the front cover), your hand will naturally go to the rear back- where the slide out filter for the power supply air vent is located- which provides no stability in the case lifting process.

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.

It's big, it's heavy. It has A LOT of glass and it looks really good on my desk. It wasn't the cheapest case out there, but I got what was advertised and have been completely happy with it. It's fairly easy to work with and has a lot of options for whatever you're trying to build. There are plenty of in-depth reviews on YouTube.

I previously had a case with a front panel that was choking the life out of my parts. After some research, I found this magnificent case. I already had an extra 200mm and 140mm set of fans to put inside, so I swapped over the 200mm Coolermaster fans to the top of the case. The front support for fans seemed a bit off, so I had to use zip ties to hold my own fans in place. It works fine and it's pulling in air from two 200mm fans in the front while pushing air out the top and back with one 140mm fan and two 200mm fans. It is all I've ever wanted. My only gripes are that with so many RGB fans and their own controllers, cable management was not as easy as I'd hoped it would be in the back. It is a surprisingly tight fit back there with everything moving around and having to go to its proper place. Also the USB plugs for the front of the case just don't work well with my motherboard when it comes to the slots for cables built-in to the case. I opted to have them not plugged in at all because they were either sticking out the side, or they were bent trying to enter from the bottom. Actually bent my USB pins on my motherboard because of this. So, my advice is to try and get them plugged in on the opening from the right, and not the bottom.
