Cooler Master HAF II 500 review

Three mighty fans make for a mighty amount of airflow.

Cooler Master HAF II 500 review

The HAF II 500 case from Cooler Master made an impression at the company's headquarters in Taiwan, boasting two massive 220 mm fans in the front and one 180 mm fan in the back. These large fans are capable of delivering an immense amount of airflow, making the HAF II 500 an excellent choice for those concerned about overheating components. However, for most users, a more affordable PC case would suffice.

The case measures 557 × 262 × 548 mm and supports various motherboard sizes, including Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX, and E-ATX (up to 130 mm). It also features a top radiator support and a front I/O section with USB ports and power/reset buttons. The HAF II 500 supports up to two graphics cards, making it an excellent choice for workstation builds.

Installation of the HAF II 500 is straightforward due to its spacious interior, which provides ample room for liquid cooling or air coolers. The cable management system is also user-friendly, with pre-installed dust filters and easy-access thumbscrews for easy installation.
