Don't quit your day time job. The video was way to long. I have no clue why your hand was in front of the camera lens. Maybe you were trying to point to something. I really don't know, but if you were trying to point to something, use your head. Go out and buy a laser pointing device and use the laser pointing device to point.
Brilliant review mate! I have one question, though: I didn't see clearly, but what did you do with the CPU heatsink to bypass the cut-out size issue? Did you just put the support plate directly on the back of the mobo? Sorry I couldn't tell...
this case has a motherboard mounting socket exposed on the back. does this mean I'll be able to install a zalman 9700 led cpu fan without taking apart my computer?
@CCReviews wow fast reply. I have this case and is pretty awesome. One thing though, on the manual, on page 15, it says to install "stand off" by socket, i have no idea what this means. The bag came with a small silver screw head but I didn't use it. (im not talking about the motherboard stand offs)
I got a question: what are some motherboards that have usb 3.0 pinout you recommend? I wanted one from EVGA but none of their motherboards supports usb 3.0 on front panel.
well, if you don't clean out your cpu heatsink or your graphics card cooler (for example) from time to time, they won't cool as they should and the lifetime of your components can effectively decrease. (So also a decrease in performance).
@CCReviews Well surprisingly my grandmas computer was barely cleaned, and this week i have cleaned it and it was pretty clean for such a long time, indeed it needed to clean the CPU fan blades with a toothbrush... I guess her PC is so clean because she lives in a forest environment
@merijnwitje The environment is an important factor. I maintain computers at a company from time to time where there is quite a lot of dust. Unfortunatly most of their cases don't have dustfilters so I often hit the problem where I need to clean the pc with compressed air and a vacuum cleaner because the PC was making so much noise because of the cpu and gpu fans etc that were going at full speed because the heatsinks were stuffed with dust.
@CCReviews It indeed does. My older computer used to die of so many dust, i never thought about that i should clean it, but now im very sure i should do it next time
I think the Motherboard back plate cutout is only for Extended ATX but yeah it should have been bigger. I am very glad I watched this review, you did a great job outlining all of the cases features as well as the pros and cons. I subscribed keep up the great work ;)
The dustfilters wouldn't bother me as I think Coolermaster tried something new and quite smart. That the intake fan will suck alot of dust in it but the airflow will spit the dust out.
Hey, sorry for the late response but we were on vacation.
As you said, just install the cooler with the backplate first and then install the motherboard. Just make sure (as always) not to damage your motherboard during this procedure.
Please reply would u be able to install a Asus Sabertooth P67 and a Noctua NH-D14 on this i dont think there will be space for we to drill in the mother board in while its on'
does any one know how to connect the usb 3.0 to the motherboard i have a EVGA X58 FTW3 132-GT-E768-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATXd thanks in advance
Thanks for showing how to open one of those damn expansion slots. I was getting pretty irritated with those plastic locks and would have undoubtedly broken some of them trying to open them. LOL.
Yeah that's how some people like to do it. Though I notice that most people like to have dustfilters. You just need an easy system to take them out your case (without having to take off the sidepanels for example) in my opinion though.
i was thinking of getting this case n installing my own dust filters ie dryer sheets lol will this be okay?

normaly you could, but the cutout for the cpu cooler is so small that I can't tell if you're gonna be able to do it with ease
