FIXING THEIR MISTAKES! - Cooler Master H500P MESH

2018-01-15
all right we just got to Coolermaster we haven't even received our brief yet but we're gonna do something a little bit more exciting let's go to the balcony let's see this view look at this it is so nice and cool over here let's see what's in this wall you can see it all the way the mountains there's a pool are you trickster what's everyone I'm Dimitri with I recognize here at Coolermaster what a welcome little champagne in the balcony a little tour of the entire suite and let me tell you I am super happy to hear and see what their sort of their future direction for 2018 so let's begin with the age 500 P mesh so the idea behind this sort of renovation in their master case lineup is to take the feedback from the community aka your comments our reviews and implement them into a very near future releases so this is why the mesh is here so there's a four step little upgrade process so the first upgrade obviously comes from the front mesh aka the the thing behind the name very happy to see them improve this situation so you still get very beautiful looking enclosure and now with so much extra airflow this mesh has a built in dust filter so it you have basically no restrictions and no longer choking the airflow this panel also has a new notch at the top so it doesn't just simply fly out and has a lot more resistance top panel also has a thumb screw at the back for that secure low paneling and the power supply can now slide in from the back so the installation is much easier and the number four point is the built in RGB controller so that the fans are no longer need to be connected to your motherboard they can be connected to the for that lighting control it's very similar to what they have on their all-in-ones coolers low buttons for a little customization of the color and effect in the future what they want to do is actually implement the whole lighting controller into the reset button and I can't wait for that to happen the kiss that way you eliminate the additional hubs and less wiring and it's all just built into the i/o make it happen please obviously you can see the color is different so this is the white edition it will come out first and then two to three weeks later we'll see the gunmetal version come out with all the same improvements so it's going to be priced the same at $149 as the original aged 500p and so the only caveat is that these rollouts and these upgrades are coming out a little bit you know not immediately but two to three months so by March we are expected to have all old stock of the aged 500p that has all the original features to be rolled out and everything been replaced with these new additions oh you're recording again Eber you a little trickster all right guys let's just get into it so this is the master case emcee 600p so it's the continuation of the upgrade program from the master case six in this one a few upgrades are fairly obvious so in the original a master case 6 we only had the red RGB now we have 17 color options with some rainbow effect and it's still quite bright but I think the lower the brightness a little bit so it's not like blinding you right in the face the second upgrade is the power supply out on the interior that is now removable which is awesome that you can substitute the LED power supply shroud that looks absolutely fantastic and you can also move the interior a little bracket that has all the holes for different marginal elements so that you can potentially install more accessories down the line but of course the best thing is the price reduction the original was 159 this thing is now 129 so you get the $30 reduction and that's awesome because you get the same case that you can open up the low panels and have extra airflow or close everything down for that silent edition and the case looks still looks awesome and also by the way they've added the tempered glass panel so you're getting more things for less money master k-6 or the MC 600 is now on the market and by now I mean in about one month and the last case on this maker series isolators have a pop up I felt like a carrot let's do it again and one more case here is the MC 500 M so it used to be called the mastercase 5 now they're revamping their naming scheme so with this one a few updates a type C port at the front with the Gen 1 speeds the price reduction as well from $1.99 to 169 and a really awesome addition is they finally including a case that includes their beautiful RGB power supply shroud cover I think it's one of the better-looking RGB shrouds on any case that illuminates the interior it's nice ambient and it still allows that separation for the hardware between your power supply so I think that's a really good approach to really maximize exposure for all their accessories alright guys so this is the last case that we can talk about today this is the H 500 M M stands for maker obviously it has a lot of the same design language as the H 500 P and now the mesh and it's kind of like a merge between the two because no longer are we seeing acrylic side panels and they've replaced all four sides with tempered glass which is awesome because it makes the whole case just feel more premium and you can wipe fingerprints here easily and just having glass is much better than the acrylic panels now the cool thing about the front panel is its combination with so that you can see they've redesigned to have a bit more mesh if you are using glass but you can pull this out and replace it with a mesh panel for better air flow if you're going that route the i/o still features a type C port at the top but they're still unsure about whether or not they'll be genuine or gen2 however the addressable RGB craze is all over CES and seriously it's like everywhere if a fan doesn't have addressable RGB it is not a fan so here we have 200 millimeter fans that are addressable RGB and a single 140 millimeter that is also addressable RGB so we get nice pure whites and better control more lighting effects built-in right in here right right a built-in built-in straight of the fan built in out of the box now one interesting interior piece they've added is this little acrylic piece near the power supply right now it's lit up in RGB and has the cooler master outline which there most likely won't keep but let us know what you guys think about that integration allowing you to see the power supply and also allows for a little different texture and different color combination on that power supply shroud so it looks a little bit more unique and different now at the back they've also added a little extra piece near the power supply route so that it's completely covered and therefore you can have basically the entire case and cable management exposed to the environment without placing the side panel and I absolutely love that industrial and like all the panels everywhere and they've listened to the feedback and they've added that additional panel so it looks a bit cleaner and they are also relocating that fan controller and the hub for the RGB to a different spot so it does not actually occupy the SSD caddy and so they'll have something a little bit extra and they'll find a more pristine and optimal position for that hub so it doesn't occupy or you know interfere with any of the hardware and it's they're looking at something that will also be easier to route in terms of cable management so that's really good forward-thinking from their part on like all the feedback that we've given them and the community has given them as well now expected the release date is q2 an end of May so right before Computex begins and the retail price of like what they want to launch it with is at $199 so I would say like if the H 500 mesh is 149 and here we get temper glass and like all these little additional upgrades I would say it's actually a pretty decent deal from the Coolermaster product line so they don't let sort of overstep their own toes in terms of competition between their own lineup so yeah 139 what do you think about that guys check this out ooh nice snap your fingers and change your color so one cool value-added thing that cool master is going forward with is letting you control the addressable RGB not just on your fans but on all RGB peripherals so we have the master plus software and it takes dominant color of your screen and changes the RGB to that color so it's really good in games it's really awesome for movies so right now we have that Vanna Leaf thing above us and it changes color based on what's the dominant color on the screen we're watching my review of the H 500 P so yeah master Plus software to control and develop your own lighting patterns for all that customization of lighting and creation of your own lighting patterns coming from coolermaster alright guys so that concludes our cool master tour we're about to head out to a surprise place that we've never been to and it's been teased out throughout the entire week so that's actually our last CES appointment so hope you guys enjoyed this coolermaster coverage and let us know what you think about our CES coverage in general I'm a tree tree Connie burr thanks so much for watching and hey you guys both good people Michael Michael alright guys thanks much for watching we'll see you in the next one
