#1065 - Cooler Master HAF 922 Case Video Review

[SusaWP]

Think I'll be getting one of these. Cooler Master cases has always been amazing, and I love the fact that I don't need so many tools to put the hardware inside. Very handy for females that don't have tons of tools laying around :P

[paulineashleyxo]

Would you say this is almost like the full tower?

is there any point in going full tower?

[buzz9961]

@paulineashleyxo this is almost like full towe you can fit in a very long cards and you have a lot of space inside

[threadysparrow]

i have this exact case. GREAT CASE. but everyone should know that you will really want to use tools. i used screws to put the hdd into the rail because i dont trust the bolts. i also put screws into the optical drives because if you just go with the tooless option it is too easy to remove the drives, so if the case falls then the drives might come out. but the case has screw holes everywhere (lol) and it is very easy to use screws.

[TheGhostshadow95]

does the top and back fan have a filter?

[jmlarios1379]

@AceOnBase1 yes there is a blue LED edition on newegg for 10USD$ more

[AceOnBase1]

shit balls its red... i need blue. do they make these with blue leds?

[Darkfire889]

@AceOnBase1 Why does the led color matter so much?

[buzz9961]

@AceOnBase1 no they dont do.but you can remove the red led fans and install blue led fans

[skaterguy1423]

@AceOnBase1 buy one then?

[jig5aw357]

anybody can look up specs he just repeated what the box says



[crudnup]

@jig5aw357 no shit sherlock. But does 259,000+ view mean nothing? people come here to see a visual break-down of the products features. Would you ever buy an expensive car without seeing it in real life not just a static picture on the internet?

[monkeyfire5]

I haven't seen a single case so far WITH a removable motherboard tray. So it's not really unfortunate.

[TheSilentRabbitRS]

I don't like this case :/ I don't own it so it's just my opinion, to me I think it's VERY ugly, no dust filters which is just stupid (not much of a cooler master considering it only comes with 3 fans and no dust filters!) And a lot of people have this case surprisingly! If anyone was wandering, I'm getting the NZXT Phantom special edition ( White and red ) I realise I may get some hate for this comment, but it is just my opinion, I wouldn't buy it. :)

[sTyRMania]

this or thermaltake element G case?

[smoonayTF2]

2:34 Mirco-ATX

[Sm311yBaT]

is there only 2 usb ports?

[939Productions]

does a corsair H100 fit in it?

[tomrh99]

@939Productions think so

[939Productions]

@tomrh99 thanks for the responce but i already knew the awnser

[tomrh99]

@939Productions np

[RangerParus]

This is less a review and more a overview with a bit of QVC infomercial chucked in.

[bamazudi]

You don't even need the full tower unless you want to run a powerhouse. Best case I have had in a while. And for only $90 as of now. They could have given it a little more style but hey, computers are for playing not for show.

[chao4356]

Unfortunately, the motherboard tray is not removable

[CRimsonEagleX]

FAN LED BUTTON. NO WAY, NOW I CAN SLEEP WITHOUT LIGHTSHOW. BUYING NOW!

[ElvisCamillo]

@CRimsonEagleX Haha. Yes!

Much rather have a good computer than a Christmas tree. (Y)

[flukenukeem]

Great review man, really in-depth and still relevant.

[foelde]

i came.......

[fumblebane]

hi im Chris Hansen with dateline nbc

[xristoslem]

he maybe sounds like an automatic phone voice but overall he is a kickass reviewer!!!

[ultragarrison]

Just got it today. Fucking kicks ass!

[ScrubTardy]

Hey man

Just asking but would you recommend this case OR the Cooler master Storm Scout?

would love to here back:)

another thing would be sweeeeet if you dont like a rating out of 10 in your opinion just to let people know your opinion:)

Thanks

[marfg12345]

this case is the best thing that happened to my PC! i have a 200mm side fan too

my hd6870 temps have droped from 85c load to only 63c load in furmark

and my cpu (phenom II x4 965be) dropped from 55c load to only 42c load! (prime95)

i definitively recommend this case (but 200mm side fan will help A LOT)

[deepvoicefromraleigh]

So which is better? This or the 912?

[marfg12345]

@deepvoicefromraleigh this of course

[Amirichi]

Warning guys........... this case has a faulty CPU cooler backplate cut out... it's offset. Well for it it was anyway.

[aeroaa2]

the case wont fit perfectly in the pc department on my desk >.<

[TheXbm4]

where can i find atx mother boards?

[TekenMoop]

@TheXbm4 ATX is just a size of the motherboard. Just ask an IT shop for an ATX motherboard that fits your pricerange. Try ASUS or Gigabyte

[animemasterdenox]

I think your reviews are great but could you say what graphics cards can fit in the case such as the 6870

[MrShyguy0]

@animemasterdenox

Literally any graphics card can fit in this case. I got one and I measured 13.5" from the PCI brackets to the the drive cage.

[ivoavido1]

Guys help me: 690 ii advanced or haf 922?

My system will be

2500k

6870 cross

HELP ME!!!!

Is the airflow on the 690 ii as good as the one on the haf 922?

[xabo4700]

@ivoavido1 its better.

[ivoavido1]

@xabo4700 Seriously? Great!

[xabo4700]

@ivoavido1 I am. np.

[RashaadBryan]

can a gigabyte ga-990fxa- ud5 or a msi 990fxa-ud5 fit in this

[H04RD3R]

he did a cut when he installed the hard drive for a reason. i have the 692 with the same drive cages, THEY ARE FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. awesome case tho.

[AdrianMcCVideos]

Hi, Wodney Wenolds.

[MrPandawesome]

5:00 only heard my own pc...

[killerofporn]

hey guys im planning to buy this case. which would u prefer. this one or haf 932?

[1PSYTEX1]

@killerofporn um, arent the 932 a big tower, if it is then theres no need to buy the 932 because youll only need a big tower if your going to buy a LOT of expencive computer cards, for a regulare gamer a mid tower is perfect, youll only need a big tower if your running a LOT of heavy duty cards, and most people dont, only guys that hacks or run multiple wow accounts need a big tower to be able to rund the programs properly without any lag or delais.

[iTechNom]

How many Graphic cards can this case fit most?

[TheMchuquillanqui]

@iTechNom As many as your Motherboard support.

[iTechNom]

@TheMchuquillanqui great ima go buy my components 2day then

[TheMchuquillanqui]

@iTechNom Don't forget to check your power supply, you'll need more power when using more than one Graphic Card.

[theOXdude]

hahaa. I've got like 40 answers on my comment, and i only needed one of them. Thanks anyway ;)

[arnarXx]

can you get dust filters for the non-filtered holes?

[ShARiK0Ff]

1:56 - 1:57 Ewww! Dousen't that remind you of something?

[XtreemJohan]

Where can I find a dust filter for the left side?

[Bilalol3]

can this fit a 6950 ?

[AceGamingProductions]

lol! no dust filters!!!!!! after a couple of weeks with 200mm fans in those slots, it'll look like pompeii all over again on the inside of that case.

[leitao1996]

does this come with motherboard stand-offs??

[JJCtheBeast]

What's that large monitor on your desk?

[CommunityShots]

where are is the plugin to connect it with a screen ? didnt seeit lol

[Brotoriously]

@CommunityShots The slots for those are on your GPU or Motherboard XD

[CROMAT30]

at 4:50 the video is FAKE because you can`t hear a fuck... >.<

[magicdevil09]

@CROMAT30 turn volume up u can :P

[ryboproducer]

this guys voice is classic

[Mike44PL]

Can you put a single 10.5 inch gtx 570? Also would it fit two in case i upgrade?

[arnarXx]

if i were to install a fan on the side panel would i arrange them to blow air into the case or suck out of it?

[Qcn0xa]

@arnarXx Normally they are put to blow the air into the case in the sidepanel. The rear and the top is for the exhaust, and front and side is for intake normally.

[CROMAT30]

@arnarXx side panel fans blows are in the case because to cool down your graphics cards hope this helps

[Brotoriously]

@arnarXx Into it

[JayCeeAich]

Absolutely great review! Best I've seen on youtube of this case. Very informative, very descriptive. Thank you sir!

[andrew21slash]

wow this case its amazing¡¡¡¡¡¡

[dreammanRJ]

does anyone know how to use the side PCI/-e slot? do you need an adapter/ extender or something?

[vfthb098]

@dreammanRJ The side PCI slot is for hardware like fan controller knobs and stuff like that.

[illusivewolfoni]

it can fit a full 12" GCand has about 2" space left

[JSpark135]

this case fits evreything you can stuff into a  pc

[Azeon91]

Will this one fit 2 HD6870 crossfire ?

[rocklebest]

will a 6950 fit in there?

[Brotoriously]

@rocklebest I have put an XFX dual fan 2g 6950 in there. Yes, THIS WILL FIT ANYTHING!

[mozzdang]

a weset button!

[Mutchyy]

Can this case fit a HD 6870?

[canthaguild]

Does this guy not sound like one of them automatic phone voices

[999cheetos999]

Looks ugly 

[mozzdang]

the case is ugly.

[bluetounge]

Important thing to note guys: this thing lacks a few (imo) necessary dust filters, and the dust filters it does provide are a bitch to remove for cleaning, also they are made of metal and are held in place by bent fins, thus after removing these so many times they will eventually snap!

Thumps up so all can see =)

[bennyboytx]

your face kind of scared me at the end. thanks for the review! what case would have dust filters in the price range?

[S1lentStr1ke]

I have this case... LOVE IT! :D

[fram4153]

tee hee, he said ass :P

All joking aside, looks nice. I'ma have to look at how well this thing stays cool before I buy. looks sick so far.

[BALOO6982]

except for the front panel ....no dust filters .........fucking retards

[BALOO6982]

fucking big hole and .....of course ..no dust filters ...idiots

[ChRIs23696]

this or the scout?

[Joachover18]

No dust filters... I recommend Fractal Design Define XL :)

[teeblack06]

gonna be my new case soon i cant wait!

[Shroffff]

8th expansion slot... i have never seen adapters for that location before only small adapters for htpc.

[Naitzz]

I just bought this one.. I fucking love it ! Best cabinet ive ever seen.. Its just so easy..

[madascene99]

This guy does reviews like no one else. Two thumbs up!!

[Rahlaer]

Good review. Sounds like you're the host of 'To Catch a Predator' though.

[beddowNbedford]

Whats better this , Antec 902 or NZXT Tempest EVO

[Spezza149]

@beddowNbedford Tempest EVO sucks! Either the HAF 922 or the 902, both are good

[SneakyClam]

I own this case, and it fits both 570s with room to spare. Really cool case.

[iNekoNaru]

I couldn't hear the cooling part over the sound of my PC >.> ... peice of crap.. :(

[TheXtremeGamer90]

Is this better tha the antec nine hundred two ???

[GLuGGycOw]

he fingers those water grommet holes pre good....my girl friend says...

[Erroltuckerx]

Dang this case is confusing :s

[Crim3100]

anybody : will I fit an MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III in this case ?????

[Erroltuckerx]

@Crim3100 He just explained it will fit any card of any size under 12", If you watched the video you'd know that.

[toomuchcoke]

which personally is the best cooler master cast that most people prefer ?

[Hacker71050]

@toomuchcoke most people would say the cooler master haf x but But I personaly like The cooler master ATCS 840 Aluminum full tower case Because of the nice features and It's made of aluminum plus removable motherboard tray

[JOEMASSARIA]

just bought one today, best case i ever bought its so easy to run all the wires and install hardware...... not too much of a difference tho when compared to the 932

[ILemonHD]

30 dislikes...

the THUMB DOWN BUTTON IS NOT THE BUY BUTTON

[LinkReborn]

Awesome review. And thank you for being one of the few people that actually let you hear the stock fans in action. Personally for me a description just isn't enough.

[thevengance]

This guy is priceless.

[egillaron]

is this good for gaming

[AAbed1984]

@egillaron

Yes, it will fit your big video cards.

[MrTw00t]

@AAbed1984

Also amd radeon 6970 crossfire?

[AAbed1984]

@MrTw00t

Yes ... This PC case is big. :) .

Check your inbox for an inside photo shot

for my 922 case just to make sure.

[MrTw00t]

@AAbed1984

Thnx ;]

[AAbed1984]

I have this case, it's AWESOME !!!

Believe me.

[akshaymohan24]

5:00 thumbs if you heard nothing!! :D

[mrmactknife]

@akshaymohan24 I never hear anything on the "Stock Cooling" tests the fans in my own computer are just too loud lol

[MadMadsGamer]

@akshaymohan24 get a headset?

[LosNir]

@akshaymohan24 You must be really deaf.

[gekkeabt]

@akshaymohan24 i heard something

[olivierhacking]

I have this case, all I want now is a nice window :/. SHould I get a new case just for that? Considering the Aerocool Xpredator

[ColdxProductions]

@olivierhacking No you can use a panel from another case, I forget which one but you can :D

[absolutehellos]

5:12 remover motherboard tray?

[ExorcismSaw]

I think they should come out with a HAF 922 black version just like it's big brother. :P

[battlefieldmasterftw]

Great Case! 

[ExorcismSaw]

@theOXdude Probably with ease. :)

[DeltaRaptor21]

@theOXdude yes

[BioRevenant]

@theOXdude The case is big enough to fit just about anything.

[stephbeaudet]

@theOXdude depends on your Motherboard but....i think so!

[nraithatha1995]

@theOXdude why have sli in that form when you can buy a 6950 unlock it and pwn 560ti sli. and that'll fit

[BubuSnow93]

@theOXdude i got this case and it fits EVERYTHING

[Dknightxs]

@BubuSnow93

i just ordered it over the phone expecting to recive it in 3-4 hours

[Brotoriously]

@theOXdude Yes, I have this case, and for SURE you can put two 560's into here.

[nirvana6430]

@theOXdude ya i think it can fit a 6990 to

[Mike44PL]

@theOXdude It can fit any SLI cards out there right now.

[furkelnurkel]

@theOXdude yes it can

[CJCA915]

My dad just got one these cases, it's huge.

[nessim127]

I have a question;

The top fan is it glowing red aswell?

And also, is it better to have 2x 120mm fan at the top or just stick with the big 200mm?

Thanks!

[CJCA915]

@nessim127 No, just the front fan.

[kahunaD125]

@nessim127 usually bigger means slower and quieter for the same air flow

[shcoke2]

You forgot to mention a CLEAR side window and also color coordinating LED lights to add to the appealing look for MODERN cases....

[RMG4646]

Anybody try getting an eATX board and have it fit?

[TMNoob3]

This case is epic.

Everything overclocked running under 30C on AIR.

[airgilbert]

Great case.

[Lazertag44]

Subscribed. 'nuff said.

[MasterNaruto1214]

I really like the military look of this case,but what is the best choice,the HAF 922 or the Storm Scout?

How loud are the HAF 922 fans in person?

[SexuelleCurrywurst]

@MasterNaruto1214 i coosed the scout

[mofrodownlo]

@MasterNaruto1214 i have the 922. the fans really arent that noticeable unless you are right next to it

[MasterNaruto1214]

@mofrodownlo I just got my HAF922 and the fans are silent,the only thing I hear is them moving A LOT of air.

[Teebird117]

I'm surprised it got Kickass, it doesn't have a removable motherboard tray.

[gwed0]

I'm torn between getting the HAF 922 and Corsair 600t for a custom built pc. Can someone help? Which case is better?

[kahunaD125]

whats better this or the antec 902

[skidrowdie]

This for sure.

[Johnny5liter]

Hello, welcome to movie fone...if you know the name of the movie, press one know!

[Johnny5liter]

@Johnny5liter Excellent review however.

I must have this case.

Just picked up for 89.99 at newegg.com with F/S

tiger direct has it as well for same.

[airgilbert]

@Johnny5liter talking to yourself?

[nemesisdog2]

Does anyone know if I could put two cylindrical liquid reservoirs between the motherboard and hard drive caddies.

They are 6cm width each

[zentetsu32]

Chop it up and start modding it!

[acogscopepwn]

so this'll fit all video cards out there?

[gondorfyen111]

[macoronicheez]

@gondorfyen111 i have this case and it is huge any video card will fit

[patsosas]

WHy the hell collermaster did not give the HAF922 all dustfilters that are needed

[patsosas]

WHy the hell collermaster did not give the HAF922 all dustfilters that are needed

[nemesisdog2]

I am soooo getting this case

[Miqimus]

@nemesisdog2

I have this and i recommend this if you want cool computer. I have stock cooler in HD 5870 and its in +22 celcius degrees now... but i have windows open and there is -22 celcius outside (Winter, Finland) :D

[DaBossk]

what would you do with a sata port on the case? wouldnt it need power too?

[XmortdreadX]

just bought one from ibuypower =D

[NightWolfEditing]

HEHE!! This is my case

[Aldind2x]

Can the power supply be put upside down at the bottom of the case?

[pancakezombie13]

@Aldind2x why would you do that?

[Aldind2x]

@pancakezombie13 There are a few reasons: 1) Pull cool air from outside of the chassis instead of inside to keep the PSU cool, 2) It reduces the clutter because you can cable manage easier, and 3) The three of four added centimeters would allow me to reroute my 8 pin connector from the back instead of through through the mobo and under the GPU.
