I'm currently still using the HAF-X and its a wonderful case. I love it, and it does lower the GPU temps by quite a bit. Great airflow. Only problem is.. its kind of heavy, and the ports are all ancient USB2 and 3.

[@Amfibios]

getting a front 5.25 bay with USB type C is the easiest thing. The HAF X will never get old because of this, whereas the new ones will be obsolete as soon as there's a new port in the market. On the other hand, i find myself using less and less cables so port count is becoming less relevant. Nowadays i do almost all data transfers through network/cloud, my headset is wireless etc.

[@Falangist]

@@Amfibios Agreed. I've installed USB-C, SD card readers, and myriad other bays on my HAF-X that keeps it modern and relevant to my needs. Plus adding an additional 200mm fan on the top of the case, coupled with GPU brace/fan makes it that I'm getting crazy airflow through the thing. I think it was a good idea that Cooler Master added wheels to the thing, because it's seriously a big boy. This HAF 700 would've benefited with the same, or at least make it an optional choice for owners.

I'm hoping they're also serious bout the HAF series again. I could see some interesting cases coming out of this, especially if they revisit the HAF Evo XB style of case, or the stacking cases.

I have bought the Torrent Nano after watching the video and have migrated my rig from my old case into the Torrent Nano. The front I/O of the Nano has the same connector cable that Linus showed on the motherboard in the video above. So I‘m 100% sure it‘s the same plug. I can send you a picture if you provide me with an email…

[@Fumferknuckle]

Pretty crazy case! Crazy price, capabilities, and looks. One of my only gripes would be the lack of 5.25" bays cause I'm old school like that, but the aesthetics and fan possibilities is the trade off. Love seeing big fans, and lots of places to put normal sized ones. That cable management cover and the fan space next to the motherboard IO are definite cool points in my book. Undecided on the tool-less nature of the case, I always question the longevity of the mechanisms used; unsure if the ease of use outweighs the reliability of traditional methods. Other than the price, props to Cooler Master for taking the risk and making a case I'd totally consider if it weren't for the cost being more than the current value of my used build lol.

[@j377yb33n]

yeah, it'd be nice seeing some 5.25" bays fitting in where the basement in most cases sit. offset the fans to the top so the airflow stays there

[@RaynmanPlays]

Yeah. 5.25" bays are actually pretty fantastic for expanding case functionality. You don't need to buy a new case when your front panel I/O needs change or technology improves. Just add in what you need.

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

>them bays Ah a man of taste and refinement as well I see. Honestly that's the actual reason why I went with my Phanteks, because you'll pry those optical drives from my cold dead hands and plus I also wanted to just mount a card reader in the front. No, I am not wasting a USB port on some messy looking external drive, and I've been charging my vape pens and plugging my HOTAS into that exact extra port I got with the 5.25 card reader anyway. I think if I had a 4th slot I'd probably be considering one of those old manual fan tuners at this point. You remember those?

I have an 011D XL as well and love the case. I have the top exhaust and side intake rads in push and pull while the bottom intake rad in pull and then the rear exhaust fan. So total 16 120mm fans. Most are EK Vardar DRGB but I do have 6 Bitspower Touchaqua Njords as well. They are solid fans.

[@ih8skylines713]

Finally, a worthy upgrade from my old 2005 Cooler Master CM Stacker STC-T01! Hopefully this also lasts 17 years (with the same front fans!)

[@Fumferknuckle]

Thanks for sharing your case, I love discovering "new" cases with ridiculous amounts of space AND 5.25" bays.

[@Robbaz]

It will never die, turn it into a nas and it will live forever.

[@ih8skylines713]

Pre-ordered the new HAF today. Considering my last Cooler Master case lasted me 17 years I'm more than happy to fork out the cash on the new one.

[@ih8skylines713]

@@Robbaz Only has 9 x 3.5 bays but its a start. What RAID config would be best?

[@Yatukih_001]

Once again congratulations to Cooler Master from Iceland and special thanks for this awesome video! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.

Just imagine what LTT would be without the input from Brandon regarding the filming from the early days, been subscribed for a decade now (feeling old, but I'm still a bit younger than Linus) and the difference between this channel and the other oldies are really showing quality wise, #unsungheroes

I used to own a HAF-X. That thing was a beast. A very noisy but effective beast.

Would be great see the 5.1 audio tests... using analog 5.1 spdif, and hdmi from gtx series to rtx and some kind coverters...

damn, imagine when they release the WHOL version

[@MahmoudElgassier]

ayeeeeee

[@slayingeverydayheh]

[@truxima]

Can’t wait to see @GamersNexus go off on this case, especially with their new testing equipment

[@HydrixTheory]

ikr still waiting for that video lol

[@IWatchedTheVideo2]

Ayy! That looks amazing. Not gonna bother to say first either

[@blindsay]

Neat case, I would definitely consider doing a mega watercooling build in it. Unfortunate about the tarrifs though. $500USD seems about right but $650 is a bit much and also the Corsair 1000D can be had for $500 still

[@haoyuchi2034]

The latest MSRP from Corsair official site shows $529 without tax for 1000D. But don’t forget the fact that the 1000D doesn’t come with any pre-installed fans while this new HAF is shipped with 2x200mm + 3x120mm ARGB, not to mention a Gen 4 Riser cable.

[@sparkypvp2167]

That tarrifs tho. Me no feel good.

[@blindsay]

@@haoyuchi2034 Yeah I mean if you need those items then they are of value to you, I never end up using pre-installed fans though lol. I can get the 1000D for $515 with free prime shipping on amazon

[@dickkallerhan2412]

clearly they decided to wait for a production unit to do the watercooled build ;)

[@thioga1]

The 1000d is just plain better, from finishing to features the price for this one SUCKS.

[@MRNOFILTER718]

I'm not going to lie this case is bad ass!! Definitely going to pick this up!!

[@russellbrazell7671]

I don't usually find cases to be much to write home about but I want one, it looks sweet.

[@matasa7463]

This is a really cool and industrial feel case. I like the direction Cooler Master is going. Oh, and if you get the VRAM on that GPU that hot, it will die very quickly...

[@oldfrend]

i have an old HAF 920 case from like 2010. cost me like $100 at the time and still came with two 200mm fans with enough expandability to install radiators for my 2017 watercooled cpu/gpu build. phenomenal value back when a decent case cost like $50. $650 seems a lot until you consider it might be the last case you'll ever buy.

[@Flywheel2996]

I guess I know what case I’ll pick up when I build my next system. This thing looks awesome

[@Wintellshorts]

Well that’s a very popular case. Some would say…. It has a lot of fans

[@scottdotjazzman]

Get out.

[@zampk6633]

I have a HAF 932 for over 10 years and thousands gameplay hours. It's a monster case with extreme airflow, kept all parts cool and in excellent working condition. Rust showed up in some places but nothing serious.

[@rysterstech]

Idea, a 3 slot card with the pcb in the middle with a passive heatsink on the top side to cool those memory chips on 30 series

[@Spideryote]

I HAF to have the new LTT screwdriver Seriously, give us some news

[@Perilloux]

They did on a live stream. It’s going to be a bit.

[@RedRingOfDead]

I second this

[@ieasy12]

Yeah, mentioned in a livestream the people they were dealing with got bought out by a competitor so they're working on getting a new deal elsewhere.

[@RandomTheories]

they talk about it on WAN show basically every week

[@RedRingOfDead]

I do follow WANshow and i know that Linus got some problems with a punk ass supplier. That didn't disclose that they got a huge order from a repetitive brand. That's the problem, when you as a newbie find a good supplier every other company knows about it. But I'm still pro FIFO First In First Out Just don't screw people over like this

[@chaleowin7732]

I have an earlier version of the HAF case, what a legendary case. My new Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL has 10 case fans to cool my 12900K and 3080, still very quiet.

[@mindbreaking]

FYI, be sure to pump warm water through your smoke machine after use to clear out fluid. It hardens over time and clogs lines.

[@rfzw]

It looks really cool. They should make a smaller, more practical version of the case with the same styling.

[@Diodudexo]

I’ve been noticing recently in videos they’ve been using like, business lingo or whatever and then putting what it means in subtitles on the screen I really like that lol keep doing it!

[@PhoeniXfromNL]

really nice looks on that case alright, would love to see a water cooled build in it

[@riccochet704]

CoolerMaster: Here, try out this engineering sample Linus: Thanks! We're gonna fry the fans!

[@thelasertater]

6:00 “Holy crap it’s loaded for bear!” As an Idahoan I loved this statement. I’ve been catching up on your videos since I found your stuff and that statement hits home the hardest haha

[@sikya73]

Still have my haf x amd edition in my storage room. I've put a phenom 940 and xfire 5850 in it with dual loop ek watercooling. I cant lift it alone. That's how heavy it is when you watercool it. An this new pc case, good luck trying to lift it. Btw, mine comes with a detachable caster wheel, so i could slide it on the floor.

[@TheWarKeeper]

Coolermaster CEO: I want a new case and it HAF to be wide! Engineering team: How wide do you want it to be? Coolermaster CEO: Yes.

[@JayHolt-qu2qd]

Finally got my Haf 700 EVO - moved my current hardware from my old Haf X - now I need to save up the $ for a proper hardline custom loop setup this case deserves.

[@YOEL_44]

I hope they add this case to PC Building Simulator ASAP, I cannot afford that much on a box for my computer.

[@Walhor]

Defintly getting 1000D vibes with this one. But Im happy with my 011D-XL that has 13 120mm fans in it too

[@Odayian420]

I have a cooler master case. It is an oldie but a goodie and unlike a lot of cases out there plenty of room to work in.

[@seandowney2338]

I will admit, despite it's price, I am somewhat considering it. It looks great and has (apparently) splendid airflow. And while most pc parts will burn out eventually, the case is forever. And this one is roomy so unless the size of parts blows up dramatically, I'll be able to shove in whatever parts future year brings.

[@criznittle968]

I hope GN gets one of these soon, i want to see the full case comparison airflow benchmarks

[@sanchitsawalkar2638]

It's legit that next gen of cases are here. More space, more RGB, more ridiculous and for a cost.

[@GODLIKEZ490]

its such a nice case just bought one myself best thing i ever done

[@SEEUENTEE]

I like to see companies going for something out there more or less yoloing ideas and breaking away from the norm if it’s good or bad so what just nice to see something different. this is definitely a power move and I love it 😂

[@paramortalics]

This is the first RGB anything I've actually ever wanted. Wow.

[@lewisner]

As an amateur computer builder it's refreshing to see professionals burn a fan out and forget to turn the psu on.

[@CockatooDude]

This is the only case I've seen aside from the 1000D that I think looks as good as the old Crystal 570x. I swear though that case still looks as fresh as it did in 2017, cases have gotten tacky again as of late, either that or overly minimalist. While this HAF is almost on the tacky side, it is just premium enough to not fall into that trap.

[@VolrathMTG]

I bought this case. It's glorious.

[@revoracer3]

I just ordered this case, i cant wait to do my build in it!

[@StoneColdClassics]

how much was it?

[@revoracer3]

@stonecoldclassics2234 $630. Not a cheap case, but I have a killer system. This will just set it off.
