Cooler Master Listened: H500P Mesh & H500M

2018-01-11
coolermaster h 500 p well looks like they did it there's mesh there's actually a lot of changes to the new h 500 p mesh version other than the obvious color changes to go in white from the earlier gunmetal color there are options for mesh panels now or will be soon when it launches in the next few months and there's also changes to the structural integrity of the paneling alongside changes to how the panel ena mounts to the case so that's what we gonna be talking about today before that this video is brought to you by EVGA and the X 299 dark motherboard for the Intel high-end desktop CPUs the X 299 dark is one of the only motherboards on the market with proper vrm cooling we've tested this and found significant performance increase over those without active cooling on the BRM and you can learn more about the x2 9 and dark at the link in the description below so for the chord changes measures the obviously obvious one but for the front panel this now requires somewhat of a push on the top it actually has a clip at the top of it now right there and so when you push down on the front panel that depresses and you're able to pull it out normally so if I just kind of like we did in the original review the table is moving a lot more than the case right now which is good that's what you want so you actually have to push down pretty hard pop them both out so job well done coolermaster the top panel also has a screw added to the back which is something that we've seen and liked on a few cases not enough do it but cooler masters added one to the top back of the age 500 P mesh and there are updates coming to the channel for the gunmetal H five hundred P the original one so as the existing H 500 P continues to sell through its current volume on the channel the changes for this aside from the mesh obviously it'll keep the acrylic will eventually populate so in terms of the structural integrity changes things like that that will come to the acrylic gunmetal original version as they sell through the existing quantities on new egg and all the others so yeah screw on the back can't really just rip it off anymore that's well done this glass panel no longer wobbles it's now it's not flush but there is one that has a flush glass panel which we'll talk about however it no longer wobbles like it did in the original review so also a good change there's one final change I wanted to point out and that's in the power supply so now rather than removing both of the power supply shroud components you can leave them in there and just use a bracket on the back mount the power supply to the bracket and there's clearance to push it in through the back of the case similar to I think the SD 40 and the course are 600 C both do that so if you are familiar with those cases it's the same idea here those are the main changes for this one I think that pretty much covers them I suppose on the structural integrity side and the plastics the plastic itself isn't really different but this is so because it's not an acrylic panel now you're really not concerned about visuals you can put a bar right here to strengthen the panel it doesn't flex anywhere near as much as it used to I remember the quote for the H 500 P we said the plastic felt like a McDonald's toy that's a bit better now so also a good thing it doesn't creak anymore and it stays pretty sturdy all of these are good changes for the H 500 feet mesh and one final thing on the mesh side there are two options right now they're considering one has a dust filter in it and the other one does not next we're going to look at the other version of the aged 500 it's a slightly higher end model so we'll take camera over there and check that out so this one is the other case it's a bit more premium at $200 it's the aged 500 M now the first thing you might be saying is but Steve there's still glass in the front yes but they will be including a mesh option so this should be something you can pop out it's currently a prototype this whole cases so we can't demo it for you but the plan is to be able to pop out the tempered glass in the front and add in a mesh there are a few other changes though the side here comes out a bit more so the mesh is now coming out a bit more forward over the 200 millimeter fans and it seems like a steeper angle not sure on that though the top panel will have the same screw in the back from the final version of the design and there's a prototype power supply nameplate right now that has a cooler master logo that's illuminated on it they're actually not sure how they're going to finalize that so if you have opinions on the power supply nameplate leave a thought below so Coolermaster can make their final decision other than that the fans are a RGB so they are addressable and as a dress wool for the front 2 200 millimeter fans addressable through the rear 140 all three of those fans are in in a 200-dollar case and there will be a controller which is not finalized today but there'll be a controller in the back that handles all the addressable RGB LEDs including being able to adjust to what's on the screen and then finally there's just an item of interest here and that is the 200 millimeter radiator so this is something cooler masters working on where if you have a 200 millimeter fan and you have a liquid cooler obviously you'd want a radiator of the same size otherwise what are you doing so there's a 200 millimeter radiator in here that's also being worked on we don't know the full details of it none of this stuff is really fully finalized but it should be coming to market sometime relatively soon but yeah that's the age 500m and the age 500 PS of the case that we reviewed last year so for more as always subscribe you can hit the link
