[@hoyle038]

This channel is like a hidden gem, always reviewing cases before all the rest of KZbin. I have been watching this channel for years now and I have to say, you've only got excited over a handful of cases. I'm excited about doing a build in this one. I know the price is hefty but, with this much features and headroom then it's worth it.

[@espi8997]

30 mins video? hell yeah! time to get some coffee and biscuits

[@xXs3renityXx]

Just purchased this case because of this review. Delivery tomorrow:)

[@LawrenceTimme]

I love this monster. It has so much room for water. I am fed up of all the tiny and mid cases that don't have proper water cooling support

[@markkennedy4055]

I LIKE ! ! ! ! Nice review ttl, thank you. I know this is an older video post, but I have an interest in this case.

[@GameAtomicBomb]

Best case I've seen in a long time... Great job on the review TTL... Yes I got to the end as well!

[@Falcrist]

Looks like a normal case in the thumbnail... and then you click the video and suddenly TTL is standing next to a *_comically oversized_* PC case.

[@parthanandi9991]

Great case, and love the fact the Cooler Master always does something innovative to the front of the case, and just not make it a dull rectangular box.

[@AnchorAlchemist]

Cooler Master has come back swinging. This is an incredible case! Thanks for the review Tom.

[@arijitzindahai]

and smashed into corsair 5000t

[@gavrielc.929]

That case is amazing, dream build stuff. Thanks for you vids Tom, always keep me entertained.

[@Xtremepower21]

WOW 😮 what a Case, CM knoked it out of the park on that one. I had a CM HAF 932 back in the days.

[@seydaneen8970]

love these long case review videos. TTL does it again

Love the full video Tom😊Gr8 job! I Love this case and im really considering purchasing it❤️😊😊

[@Aspir55]

Great case.Excellent review, Tom!

[@revoracer3]

i just ordered this case friday, it till be here in a day or two, really looking forward to building in this case!

[@TheRocky3211]

Perfect length Video for a in-depth look at this case. 👍

[@haroldmiranda9906]

This case is right up my alley 🤩

[@ezveedub238]

Previously owned a HAF932 for 10+ years that was watercooled and currently a Caselabs M8 owner with dual top mounted 360 rads with extended top, that removal top panel with dual 360 capability on this Coolermaster really has my attention. With the additional rad capability and modern features also, this is nice, but I see MSRP is going to a barrier for some in comparison to other brands like Lian Li 011/XL, which I also own both of those too. Since I've sold that HAF 932, I sorta miss it and this may...just may fill that spot I miss about my trusty 932.

[@R2D2592]

Great review. I love that mirror and the RGB front with display. Very innovative case. 👍

[@VicarOfMayhem]

Excellent review, Tom! I'm going to do my first custom water cooled build soon and was wondering which case to use when I saw this posted. I'll let you know if I do and how I configure it. So many options, it opens up the ideas to the point my head hurts! 😆

Wow! OMG! This IS the case I've always wanted... Amazing! Hope I'll get it some day. Regards from Tabasco, México [Land of The Olmecs]!

[@justinclark962]

Great video as always Tom. What a lovely case and how many different builds could you make in side that beast of a case.

[@Errorsproven]

Finally cooler master makes another great case, I have not upgraded cases since the haf x series. This may be my new case!

[@BallisticSollution]

I had an old school HAF-X back in the day, as much as I liked that case, this is a huge difference and I like the changes and improvements. Unfortunately, I just bought myself a Phanteks P500A, so a new case will be quite some time into the future now. Another great indepth review Tom, thanks mate!

[@lewisner]

I used a haf -x since 2015 but got rid of it recently because it was just so big and cumbersome.

[@GameOverAus]

Name from the past, i had a HAF932 and a HAFX back in the day.

[@ChrisandKnight]

Ive had my HAF 922 since 2009, 6 builds and 13 years later im grabbing this one for my next setup later this year. After so many years refusing to buy a new case, this satisfies that choice for a something new.

[@suicidalzebra7896]

Old-school case, new-school interior design - looks like a great one from CM for lovers of bespoke water-cooling. I wonder what you can do with that space behind the motherboard, assuming you don't need it for the HDD caddy. Also got to imagine that EK et al will be looking at that vertical mounting point as an ideal spot for a custom-designed 360/480mm distro plate. Thanks for the review TTL.

[@Salfordshire]

Great video as always thanks Tom, I like the case but I’m more than happy with my P600S.

[@ivansapto]

I have watch a third of the video and I can honestly say I love that case. Once again Cooler Master have blown me away. Simple yet elegant. Awesome case. Now let me continue watching........ 😁

[@gcmDDp]

Great review, amazing case!

[@personaldronerepair6141]

Great video !!

[@ih8skylines713]

Just pre-ordered one of these to replace my 17 year old Cooler Master CM Stacker STC-T01 that is still going strong with the same front fans since birth! Going to retire the old Stacker to be a NAS server. It's served me well as a daily driver for many years and many builds but it's time to put the old girl out to graze. Heres hoping my new HAF lasts as long!

[@OPTERON_PRIME]

WOW, very well though out design!

[@DiaboloIIICzarodziej]

Great channel ;) I managed to put 7 radiators in old Corsair 900D 2x480, 3x 360, 2 x thick 5cm 240 ;) I'm using PC passively only 2 x d5 running. After 2h gameplay i run 15 fans on 700 rpm for couple minutes to let liquid chill a bit. Love this huge cases. FYI your channel inspired me in the pass to do some fun review of " thermolab Trinity" you review this cooling in the past...good old times ...good luck thx inspiration

[@jamiescott1218]

This is the haf I wanted when I pre-ordered the 500 back in the day.

[@stevenmoore3850]

Cant wait to see someone do a custom loop on this so much room for whatever you wanna do

[@darcsentor]

Great review. Think i just found the case I’ll use when the new ryzen chips come out. Love the front of it, so much more interesting the bland fronts of other cases.

[@tigerbalm666]

Dam, dat's OG! I remember cool cases like the Trooper.

[@Trillian_nlc]

Not at ALL what I expected from a HAF and in a good way for me. Great vid as always! Edit: lol, the Mobo, and PSU look so absolutely tiny in this case.

[@_manojkumar_]

this is amazing video Sir.

[@Firestone2467]

Great video, thank you

[@robbieg3055]

Best case i've EVER seen so far imo, Beauty and a Beast!!!! Top review Tom ;) O and price from another review say's it's £450.

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

Reminds of my old Thermaltake view 91 case only that was all Glass apart from top panel. This is like a smaller version but with many more features. I really like it...Hhmmm you got me thinking what I could do with this now Tom...Damm.

[@KenHSays]

looks good!

[@XxTH3xD34L3RxX]

great content glad i came across this clever guy total pro knows what he on about 10/10

[@Zfast4y0u]

decent case, i love when cases have lot of space for cable on the back side and when distance from mobo and roof is big. makes your life easier.

[@LawrenceTimme]

This one was well worth the Ding!

[@ionutortian5885]

The be quiet 901 is offering many more options for building. This case is amazing olso

[@KRAVER_]

very nice case. love super towers so fun and roomy to build in. I currently have a TT X71 TG modded . but im getting tired of it because its an older case and want something new.

[@ronnzi]

Looks great - now, let’s get an update to the HAF XB EVO PLEASSSSSSSE 🙏🙏🙏

[@destyrian]

Thanks for the video. I have just bought this case recently and this helped me to optimise the case a bit as practically nothing is explained in the manual. I find it very difficult to mount 2x 360mm rads/fan arrays into the top corner on the right hand side of the case due to the mounting bracket for the side fans. I think it's only possible if you remove the side mount, personally. You can comfortably fit 2x fans behind this indent, though.

[@RobotDevil666xx]

That's my next case when new cards drop, 2 separate loops CPU/GPU 2x360 rads up top and 480 at the back possibly,. not sure yet. Very nice video as always Tom, thank you, oh and btw fans at the front seem to be 200mm not 180 as the name indicates (Sickle Flow 200 ?) ;D

[@cfhnyy]

TTL brain fart videos are great! You have amazing ideas and opinions to share, some of which I hadn't thought of. Keep up the good work! Thanks! (now where did my cookie go?)

[@OC3D]

Thanks dude x

[@m.a.l.s5793]

Ok this case is so freaking cool! Finally, something to replace my Corsair 1000D with! Interesting to see how easy it is to strip the panels down, would be nice to get a custom paint job done on the interior panels. White all the things!

[@opiumextract2934]

Oooo i like cookies! And this was actually an informative video. Lots of options too. Im looking for a new case, I have an 011 dynamic but I want something.....unique and that not a lot of people have. Im liking this for the Drive cage and the psu compartment (yeah the 011 has them, thats why I like that case too) I also like the mirror, its different.

[@unitybeing777]

Big Boy.

[@Quenjii]

Fantastic case! You never talked about the front though!

[@totoyputik]

i wish you could push the max limit config for this case. Aircool and water cool setup. thanks foe sharing your ideas

[@bartacus3521]

Now THIS is a proper water cooling case, that could actually hang with some Case Labs models, but brings a lot more bling (and options) to the table. You will pry my Case Labs Magnum M8 from my cold dead hands, but I could *easily* replace that with this new HAF in terms of rad space, and I'm running 4 360s and a 240 right now. Plus this would provide some bling (Magnum ain't pretty). Well done Cooler Master, assuming it doesn't cost a grand Canadian, LOL!

[@Gnomleif]

I'm glad I brought my ha(l)f liter tea cup for this. Realistically speaking I literally don't have the space for such a monstrosity, but there's still a part of me cooking up all sorts of ideas about what I could do if I had the space. All in all an awesome case, but unfortunately not for me at this point. Also, an internet cookie _and_ a ding? Consider me a happy camper. :D

[@johnnykay4738]

Very innovative case. Great review. Great channel. Now that being said. I bought a Cyberpowerpc prebuilt knowing the case was garbage. One of the worse cases for thermals I've ever seen. But in this market and having a plan I was able to get a Gigabyte RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X and an Asus prime X570 Pro for a decent price by buying a prebuilt. After I reconfigured the fans and modified the case. It actually beats the Fractal torrent for thermals. 45c on the CPU idle 45c on the GPU idle 600 rpm. Under heavy load CPU 66c GPU 65c. overclocked. CPU 4400 Mhz. GPU mild overclock. Before I modified the case 95c + on both the CPU and the GPU under heavy load before any overclocking. What I'm trying to say is you don't have to spend a fortune on a case to keep the thermals at bay. Just buy any case and modify it so it works. If your case has a solid metal front take it off and fabricate one with air flow. That's one of the biggest problems with cases right there. If the case has a solid top cut a hole big enough to mount a 360 AIO. That's what a Dremel is for. Use .8 mm stainless steel mesh to keep the dust out and the hot air exhausting out. Intake air from the front, exhaust through the top and the rear of the case. Use 3 - 120 mm in the front, 1- 120 mm out the back and get a 360 AIO with 3 -120 mm and mount it exhausting out of the top of the case. 7 fans total in a mid tower. One and done. Use the money you saved for future upgrades. I've been modifying cases for the best thermals and overclocking for over 30 years. If you're spending more than $50.00 of your hard-earned money on a case you're getting ripped off. BTW the HAF 700 is $500.00 US.

[@dertermyd]

Excellent review and a amazing case 😃👍🏻! It‘s to big for my personal use-case and I dońt need some of the functions. But this case a number smaller would be great! Cooler Master if you read this: please build an HAF 500 oder 600 Evo version and take my money 🤩🤑

[@MuhammadAhmed-hu6dk]

Love your vids and can you make a vid on Corsair hx1200 PSU and test it's protection features

[@chefbink61]

WOW I can think of a lot I can do with this case!! In fact I have rads and other hardware sitting that are just looking for a home!! 2 Rads in the roof here I come!!

[@philkyle8919]

i think any company making cases has to step up the mark now after the sales on Lian Li Cases and still selling well that case is nice but alot of builders want smaller cases now great video thank you !

[@paulziegler3558]

I still have a corsair 780 t case and I still love it!....but this behemoth reminds me more of a case labs sth 10 when it comes to rad support.

[@MaxPower-zp7wy]

I had an idea. Would it work that you could mount a 360 AIO or GPU RAD on the bottom of the case and have the fans exhaust hot air downwards because there is plenty of clearance under the case and legs. If you could do that, you could still mount the SSD drives on top of the RAD meaning you can do both Storage and RAD both at the same time. It would be such a disappointment if you couldn't do that as you will lose the storage space available here ?

[@fredEVOIX]

current config dynamic xl with 3x 360mm rads (54&30mm) large e-atx motherboard w 90° ATX connector + 323mm gpu I'm running out of space my 3rd in line radiator (coolest) also is at the bottom which works but isn't perfect it's still pushing mildly warm air into the case rather than ambient, this case should give me more space and allow me to have the rads top+front only or add a 4th radiator at the bottom lol the only thing I'm worried about is the place in the rear for at least 2 if not 3 corsair commanders (I use icue to make 1click-cycle profiles where both rgb color and fans speed change together) will share if and when they come to my market

[@mrfilipelaureanoaguiar]

2 360 on the ruff, it's made for a workstation dual cpu's than. That miroir is maybe to watch under the case to see imperfections or something else on your shirt while working on the pc.

[@muhammaddiaboffical]

Please can I install power supply with length 220mm in this case?

[@simony30]

Using a old cm haf 922, I'm honestly curious how it stands against it since it's suppose to be in the same haf family

[@HavockDestiny]

What is the maximum number of fans possible and what size fans if you used a 360mm water cooler?

[@bullandrew4922]

I have a custom water-cooled dual system Corsair 1000d pc, but honestly, this case is about to inspire me to rebuild in it :D

[@OC3D]

I wanna see if you do

[@bullandrew4922]

[@FANATEClei]

The best case PC...

[@GhostvaperYT]

so i got to the end the thing is I have a big case now it is a Phanteks Enthoo Primo - now I am disabled with a bad back so please before you buy consider the WEIGHT of a case full of euipment as I am now stuck with a case which I cannot clean. I cannot bend down to it, nor can I pick it up! I have just got a new case to replace it with a Raijintek COEUS EVO which should be better for me in size/weight. Great Case just be aware it will be heavy! Cookie please Tom ???

[@ChaitanyaShukla2503]

I hope CM makes a smaller mid Tower version of this case. Apparently it's supposed to cost Euro 700 which seems quite exorbitant but given its a flagship case its a case of flagship pricing.

[@MrLostAussie]

Bought this case after watching your review replaces my 900D. Which replaced My Green HAF X. Had a cuppa while watching😊 Where did you get that wooden turntable from? I would love to get one. If you could point me where to get one please😊

[@boxfabio]

Function over form everyday , i would love to see if the back panel on the rear of the case as the option for a 5' bay , to add those silverstone ssd cages , this case makes me dream to build the most dumb filled with everything build

[@F34RTEHR34PER]

Maybe I missed it, but are those temps under load or is it idle temps?

[@tjkuno25]

Could it fit a Phobya 400mm rad though?

[@MrKryss2k]

That's a HUGE case - I'd get overwhelmed with the options and just do something basic 🤣 As for my cookie - the dog ate it so I need more 👍

[@OC3D]

*chucks cookeeeeez

[@tonygilmurray]

The front fans literally say on them....200....that's 200mm....not 180....

[@samoja3618]

Nice review, I'm pretty sure those front fans are 200mm not 180mm it even says on the sticker when you filming it. I would like not to see any form of plastic on high end case like this and that screen to be detachable so i can position it in a corner maybe, it sticks out a bit for my taste.

[@therodas2306]

Well this replaces a Desk-Table for Watercooling. So instead of buying a 1000-2500€ Desk-Table its this case. A Bargain actually. Cudos to Coolermaster for inventing something useful. Since the O11 Dynamic this may be a real evolution of PC-Cases again. I was looking at Hydra Desk for my next build but i will get this one as soon as it is in Sale somewhere. 600€ saved. And great review ;)

[@pooter3034]

I think the fans moving would held direct air for a vertically mounted graphics card

[@Labiumminus]

Now i must think about my Old HAF 922 this thing was big as Fuck at that time i use it :)

[@andrewtwinam8528]

Will be swapping my Lian Li Dynamic for this case. Any L-W-H specs?

[@utley]

when are they releasing this can?

[@bosco9028]

The HAF 700 EVO did really well. But that Fractal Torrent is still the "Daddy" when it comes to air cooling. It's not just about size and number of fans even though both cases are on the larger size. It's all about flow. This is where the Torrent is just about perfect. Its beats every case on the market right now when it comes to air cooling and does with complete as shipped stock fans and stock fan configuration. The Torrent also does extremely well when using either a 420 AIO mounted to the front or going full custom loop running a 360 (dual 180) rad at the font and a 280 rad at the bottom. It also looks great with RGB or without.

[@Amfibios]

i'll admit that the torrent is an extremely good case and the out of the box performance is astounding. that said, if you used air cooling on a HAF 700 EVO and installed all 17 fans on it, it would be a completely different story

[@PCTechHustle]

Anybody else get a Fractal Torrent ad when they clicked the video? Hah! This case is pretty cool, just not sure it’s my style.

[@cesarpegado69]

[@cheetahkid]

You know, remember the "Ultimate Corsair H100 Cooling Mod" on your UTube, I was thinking why not add that, kind of idea that goes nuts, What do you think?

[@ZZstaff]

Wish they would have put screw holes in the top for 8", 200mm, case fans. I use a Noctua NH-D14S CPU cooler & don't need a radiator, don't like water coolers, they can have all kinds of problems. Biggest problem with a large air cooler is if the fan fails and Noctua guarantees their fans for 6 years. EDIT: I didn't know the case cost $500 U.S. ... Going to keep my Cooler Master HAF 922 for many more years to come, been running for 10 years and the original fans still run.
