Product Description
Two front panels, two 200mm ARGB fans, and a handle to grip onto when the adrenaline kicks in. The MasterCase H500 is established as the go-to ATX PC chassis for high performance airflow. Now, with 200mm ARGB fans, its legacy is upgraded with premium lighting. Each choice of front panels decide whether the build will excel at ruthless airflow performance or head-turning aesthetics. Of course, the mesh is the ideal choice for providing the pre-installed fans with high volumes of fresh air. The transparent panel, on the other hand, parades those fans in crystal clear view. With the included accessories, substantial ventilation, and iconic H-Series design elements, the MasterCase H500 retains all of the advantages of the original while adding ARGB fans for good measure.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
If it were perfect, I would like the top magnetic filter to be a smooth piece of plastic to cover the top to aide forcing the air out the back, but it's a only a 100-120 dollar case. I would like it to have ARGB fans in the front, again it is only a 100-120 dollar case. I would like a nicer latching system than the system used to hold the glass side panel on, again it's a 100-120 dollar case. The rear fan is not ARGB or RGB, again it is a 100-120 dollar case.
All of 'complaints' are really things that would make it perfect for me and are unreasonable for case at this price. Many of those things are features of the more expensive version. This case even comes with the an option clear acrylic front panel! This is case was nice to build in, cable management was very easy. You would really need to intentionally make mess of your wires to have a rats nest with this case. I can name a half dozen nitpicks, but that is what they are. I'm really impressed because there are more expensive cases that are not this nice. This is legitimately a nice case that cools well with the included fans. The included fans are quiet and move a decent amount of air.
Things that may be useful to know. The included RGB controller was not connected when the case arrived and I did not use it. The included controller connect to a SATA power cable and has a place for connecting the reset or power switch for changing modes. It is tiny and uses standardized connections so I'm going to use it in an older computer. I connected the included fans to my Gigabyte Z370 Gaming motherboard using the 12v 5pin RGB header using an adapter cable and a 4 pin fan header for the spinning part. The motherboard fully controls the fans. To do this you will need a cable that goes between the Gigabyte style header and the stanardardized 4pin RGB that fans use. The cables for the spinning function of the fans is industry standard and even comes with a splitter already connected. I configured the motherboard to use voltage control to ramp the fans up and down.
The power supply shroud comes out with only a single thumbscrew, there are also two sets of hols to mount the power supply either way. In my build the only drive is NVMe on the motherboard so the PS shroud going all the way would have been nicer I think, but the 2x3.5 HD cages comes out with a single thumbscrew. There are plenty of places for zip ties and moderate room behind the motherboard. The magnetic filter for the top is, functional. It's not substantial enough and so looks goofy since it is wavy and not a smooth even surface as a result of a thin piece of plastic with a magnetic frame. With the fans in the front blowing in there should not be dust entering from the top anyway.
I had an issue with what sounded like coil whine, it was from running the back case fan too slow and it sitting there rocking, so I had to change my custom fan settings and now it spins all the time, it is pretty quiet anyway.
Some positives are that the PS shroud is so easy that you can easily remove it to work on the headers at the bottom of the motherboard. There is good room at the top for working with headers by the CPU power header.
So to sum it together, it is a good airflow case with nice looks and uses industry standard conoectors for the fans so you can connect to your motherboard or third party controllers if you want. That is a big bonus because my friend who bought smaller and less expensive case is looking at replacing his included fans because they don't have standard connectors and so run at full speed all the time, which means he will end up spending more money than I did. I really like there is nothing goofy or weird, it's all industry standard.

The H500 has a pre-installed ARGB splitter- with 1 cable that reads ASUS-MSI, and another that reads GIGABYTE.
But that gigabyte cable? Doesn't fit properly to the 3 pin slot. So what? do you use only 3 of the 4 pins on the 4 pin slot? Or do you use the ASUS\MSI 3 pin cable (which will fit on the 3 pin d-led)?
Yep..
Use the asus cable. Yes it works fine with gigabyte mobos- it's just a cable after all. Someone at COOLERMASTER needs to get the memo about this apparently, cause frustratingly enough- they have a faq for the 3 pin fans to the 4 pin connectors, but NOT the ARGB situation. I haven't seen it cleanly explained ANYWHERE, so there ya go. Even the manuals for gigabyte and the h500 were of little help on this confusion situation.
I hope I just saved a lot of you 12+ hours of dizzying hair pulling stressful research.
You are welcome internet.
Soo how is the case?
Well it's the first pc I've built since 2014, so maybe everything has gotten really good in that time but I don't know. I just know it's incredible.
The cable management.
The space.
The cooling.
The housing for psu and ssd\hdd.
all of it is such a big win!
It's soo quiet my jaw hit the floor first time I fired it up.
Seriously HOW IS IT THIS QUIET!?
I paired it up with a noctua d 15 which is also impossibly quiet.
In low mode (which is when you are in windows not gaming) it's but a tiny whisper. When gaming it gets louder but still a big improvement from my old coolermaster case from eons ago.
LIGHT SHOW!
The giant fans look downright industrial neon city. I am instantly addicted to 200mm fans and leds now. With how spacious this case is (this would have been called full tower at one time I bet lol) and how gorgeous the fans and lights are, with the glass side I am surprised how good it looks in person, and you better believe it looks great in a dark gamers room.
STURDY!
Wow is it heavy duty. The steel on this thing is thick. I don't think I'll have any issues with durability on this, at least not on the frame.
Front Port panel-
This is one the reasons I chose this over other 200mm case fan models (like the monotech). I love how the front panel is slanted, and works great for my needs. Having the case on the floor it's perfect to see what i am plugging into. 4 usb ports is plenty for anything I want to do, and the microphone port is on the side I want and need (less cable stretching)
BREATHE-
Vents vents vents, everywhere cept the back side panel (which is normal among cases). This case is soo big it has no problem breathing and keeping your stuff cool.
CONS-
The only con I can find- is the 200mm fans are soo quiet, I can hear some tiny wobble in both of them. I don't think it's a defect, more like normal operating noise you simply would not hear with normal noisy fans.
CONCLUSION-
I never imagined spending 100$ on a case before, now I can't imagine spending less. The h500 argb is incredible, and it's fun to see how much case tech has advanced in the past 10 years. Even if you are like me (not an expert pc builder) it's neat how easy it's getting to make sweet looking towers that make all those console kids pretend they are not impressed). This is all just part of PC MASTER RACE PRIDE! And what a proud day it is to be a member of this fine race of superior gamers. Don't buy a cheapy 40$ case that can't breathe then stuff a 3080 in there! Esp if you don't have AC in the summer =D.
Thank you coolermaster- but please update your instructions (esp on your web site), cause they utterly failed to mention the asus cable can and SHOULD be used for some gigabyte mobos.
Top reviews from other countries
The only one thing that might be worth noting is that if you want a 240mm top radiator it'll fit well. But the 2x140mm holes are a bit close to the mobo side of the case so a 280mm radiator would likely require a case mod.
TLDR: It's likely the best air cooling case you can get and it's an amazing value for the price.
