Cooler Master HAF 922 - Mid Tower Review

[zzPirulito111zz]

Does it fit a corsair h60/h80 and a MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II SLi?

[dunnystuff]

will a gtx 580 fit?

[zezsn1p3r]

@dunnystuff My twin frozr III gtx 570 fits, so probably, they're basically the same length.

[dunnystuff]

@zezsn1p3r oh good thanks!

[mati123se]

hey man u bring almost all bad sides put only a few good sides!

[54NT14G0]

will a hyper 212 fit nicely in there?

[DV92Camaro]

@54NT14G0

Hyper 212 fits perfectly. LOTS of space to spare. I know because I have Hyper 212 and this case (HAF 922).

[Satur0z]

Does a corsair hydro h100 fit in this (with 4 fans)??

[RandomBeRad]

I want to get ASUS P8Z68-V Pro, Intel Core i5 2500k and EVGA GTX580. Will it fit in this case?

[AnubisIslands]

@RandomBeRad Yes man, it supports it all.

[pacificb0y]

Yes you can

[RamseyRyan]

can i put Intel® Desktop Board DX79SI and GeForce GTX590 ???

[SuperMangn]

It is a good case and easy to work with. If you get a cheap case with cramped space you will be cursing when you build a pc.

[dicat09]

Hey,can you help-me?I'm building a new PC Gamer for me,and i'm gonna use a GTX580,i7 2600k (overclocked 4.0GHz) and a motherboard : Asus p8p67 !Can i use all that stuff on that case?Thanks dude !

[MrAlen94]

@dicat09 It will fit, i believe the haf 922 holds up to 12inch GPUs and the gtx 580 is like 10.5. Hey youtube "GTX 580 Final Build" you can see the dude use the same case and a gtx580 and it has enough space. Hope i helped

[dicat09]

@MrAlen94 Yeah,u help =D Thanks !

[dicat09]

@MrAlen94 Oh,one more thing,i don't know anything about pc gaming,can you tell-me if i need to buy fans to handle my i7 overclocked and my gtx 580?Or the fans of the HAF 992 can handle ?

[MrAlen94]

@dicat09 I dont know to much too, but i know that if you are overclocking your cpu you are always going to need a aftermartket cpu cooler because the one that comes with it is good but if you are not plasnning to overclock. That case has good ventilation, and if you feel is a bit hot inside the case you got that grill on the side and can add more fans in the future. How much are you planning to overclock it?

[MrAlen94]

@MrAlen94 never mind i saw you are going to overclock it to 4.0

[dicat09]

@MrAlen94 Yeah,4.0 ! I'm gonna buy 2 cooler's of 120mm to put on the top !And what do you think is better to put in the side : 1 cooler of 200mm or 2 coolers of 120mm ? Oh,and sorry for my english,i'm Brazilian xD

[dicat09]

@MrAlen94 And i'm thinking to put 2 coolers of 120mm on the top (green led) !The cooler of the front (Red led) And 2 coolers of 120mm on the side ( blue led) ! What do you think ?Too much color or you think it's fine ? :P

[MrAlen94]

@dicat09 thats personall opion, your call. idk but three different colors leds in a case wont look that good a least in my opinion, i would stick with one color. Remember you can have 10 case fans in a case but none of them really will cool your cpu.

[dicat09]

@MrAlen94 Yeah,i think is too much color ! But ok !Thank's for the help !If i have any question i ask for you ok ? :x

[MrAlen94]

@dicat09 glad that i help you.

[TheJimmyman888]

whenever they give a review they say the hole behind the motherboard is good for some cpu thing, what is it?

[MrAlen94]

@TheJimmyman888 is for a cpu cooler. if it didnt have that hole you would have to take the motherboard out of the case in order to replace the cpu cooler for another one. most after market cpu's coolers requires a bracket behind the motherboard to mount the cpu cooler.

[TheJimmyman888]

@MrAlen94 so is it only if you want to replace you original on?

[MrAlen94]

@TheJimmyman888 pretty much. anyways almost every new case has a cpu hole, is a feature that is basically standard these days.

[iwontkou2]

@toncheky so what?

[FFF693]

@buzz9961 no this case support long card!!

[iwontkou2]

I am building my own pc i am gonna spend $1000+ on it

[toncheky]

@iwontkou2

so?

[Darkfire889]

I got this today it is awesome

[buzz9961]

hd 6990 will fit in?

[horrorboy7]

@buzz9961 yep

[Dknightxs]

i bought this but the one i got didnt had a mesh on the side panel instead it had a Glass plate

[FrostWolfZero]

i have this case and its amazing! as for dust filters i agree it doesnt have removable ones, but it technically has one in the front. I just take my vaccuum to it and its fine. If you utilize the space saving and properly zip tie all the wires , then inside cleaning is breeze.

[bumblebag96]

Hey guys, I'm quite new to building computers and I was wondering... Were's the CD/DVD drive???

[Thompaam]

@bumblebag96 You know, on a tower pc where you put CDs in? On the rear.

[Made1nGreece]

@Moonface00z more fans?230mm or 2x120mm in the side,200mm in front,200mm in top that can also be replaced by 2x120mm,120mm in rear and a 120 or 140mm in bottom and you want more fans?if you want more fans then get another case,the haf-x for example.number of fans are more than enough for this case considering its mid tower..the thing is it lacks dust filters.that's the reason i won't buy it

[Moonface00z]

If only 922 include more fans

[stavit2]

So the side 200mm fan is not included?

[TheELEKK]

@stavit2 That is correct. It is not included

[RangerParus]

@TheELEKK It's not a big issue, you can use the one from the top on the side if you want to use a watercooling radiator on the top.

[JamesBoff195]

Will the gigabyte LGA1155 motherboard fit in here, if so, will it take up a lot of room ?

[SonarWavePulse]

@JamesBoff195

Of course! It's a standard motherboard, it will take up the ATX standard amount of space!))

[JamesBoff195]

@SonarWavePulse Thanks :)

[Matty85uk]

Will an Asus Crosshair IV 890FX motherboard go in this fine?

[wesley830]

I see this case is pretty old. Would you still recommend it? I'm looking to build a pc and I am trying to decide on a case. Any recommendations? I want to find a good case for under $100.

[Skott62]

Nothing but a green screen in vid. I'm not having a problem watching anything else on YT. YT must be having a problem with your vid today.

[Skott62]

@Skott62 Its working properly now. Weird.

[fern244]

will a sapphire 6970 fit into this case?

[Shzero0]

@fern244 yes

[Panda4Cash]

Will this be compatible with AMD phenom ii x4 965 black edition 3.4ghz with a sapphire 5770 card? Will it fit?

I want to know any good looking, good quality, big enough case for 50$ or below if I don't buy this. Is this case worth 90$ without shipping and tax on newegg?

[theoxiiii]

@Panda4Cash This case is great! Lots of space, and you could probably fit two of your cards! It's TOTALLY worth it :D



[ShadyMilkMan97]

@Panda4Cash Yes. Defiantly.

[ForkProductionz]

 got this..only thing is that the front needs to be continually aired cause it gathers dust.

[MyChuck96]

great channel

[jonnydt95]

could i use a different mobo?

[vintertor]

can i use crossifre with 2 high-end gpu's or are they too big

[killerinferno10]

@vintertor the case is massive they most likely will fit

[Jarco45]

@vintertor If you dont have more then 2 HDDs you can move the HDD cage resulting in ALOT of space. Though most of the time its not needed.

[leonneel]

awesome i want this

[RashaadBryan]

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

[MysteriousDrella]

Been doubting a bit between this and an Antec 300. This case is bigger in general. Guess this one supports larger graph cards ...? Mine are 11'' want to go crossfire. (Sorry, my first build, and since I'm a girl with lack of technical knowledge I need some assistance :p) . Luckily my best friend is a pc technician.

Need to install a wireless network adapter too, and I'm doubting about getting a Cooler Master 212 plus to make it run more silent. So, any suggestions?

[7omRavenclaw]

@MysteriousDrella I think it wouldn't be any problem with the video card, and the 212. I would choose this one, because it's best looking than the Antec 300 xD., in my opinion of course.

I hope it helps, and get the last word from your friend, he may help you too.

[MysteriousDrella]

@7omRavenclaw Thanks.... Tomorrow is the day, ordered everything... will love to see my fps going up from 05 to 60 :p. Will see if they have the HAF 922 in stock by then. Thanks for helping out. And my friend isn't really a help when it comes to chosing a case: he says I can chose whatever I want. :p

[lolizmu]

I speak a good England!

[navi1007]

can it run windows games like battlefield 2? please respond

[Dracen]

@navi1007 Can a computer case "run windows games like battlefield 2"? Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously, do you even know how computer operates?

[navi1007]

@Dracen well look sorry if i anoyed you but im not a computer expert and i recently installed it on ubuntu but it did not work and i really want to play it

[Dracen]

@navi1007 It doesn't take a computer expert to realize that this is a computer case and as such, it has little to no bearing on whether or not you can run a game. That fact is completely dependent on what parts you put INSIDE the case. This is a big metal box which houses your computer parts, it doesn't help you run games aside from helping with cooling requirements and keeping internals safe.

[navi1007]

@Dracen in english einstein

[Dracen]

@navi1007 Ok, I see. Obviously you're retarded and have a terrible grasp of English language, I'll try and dumb it down for you. A computer case is a hunk of metal, you put your parts in it and it keeps those parts safe and cool. Try throwing battlefield 2 inside a cardboard and see what happens because asking if a computer case can "run a game" is more or less the same thing. Because that's what the computer case is..A fucking box. How are you not understanding this? Are you really this stupid?

[navi1007]

@Dracen im just messing with you so were do you get the parts?

[jacksonwoolums]

@navi1007 go to your local fry's or look at newegg or tigerdirect online

[vukboy]

@Dracen you were really nice to that shithead Navi1007.... =) Thanks for explaning it to him... I like this case!

[honda80f]

If u have the V10 (Cpu cooler) will this case fit that; without removing CD roms and stuff? pliz reply

[tawyn1234]

Heyy!!

Can You Pls Tell Me Some Cases That Have USB 3.0 In the I/O Front Panel??

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@tawyn1234 The special edition of the HAF 912 (only shows up on CoolerMaster's website) has USB 3.0 ports.

[tawyn1234]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther

Du Yu Knw Where I Can Buy that in Sri lanka??

[codmwlover]

Why are there NO dust filters!?

[LawngCat]

@codmwlover It is disdappointing that there are no dust filters. However, you can improvise with some pantyhose, dryer sheets, or air conditioning filters. A little handy work with such items will yield results just as good as, if not better than better than, specially made PC dust filters.

[DEKARONGAMER97]

can i fit a gtx 550 TI in there?

[Mike44PL]

@DEKARONGAMER97 YES, this cage is huge, it will fit any graphics card on the market now.

[CommunityShots]

i didnt see a plug in to connect it to a screen ?

[NBGCUSTOMS]

@CommunityShots It's a case... There's no Motherboard in it buddy.

[willp997]

@CommunityShots aint got no motherboard or graphics card so there isnt a plug unless u put one in

[FabricatedLife]

Great review. In-depth and unbiased.

[1SH0T2K1LLS]

Is it possible to install really cool LED lights to make it look like an alienware ?

[NBGCUSTOMS]

@1SH0T2K1LLS yes

[Azeon91]

Cooler Master HAF 922 or antec 902 wich of them is better

[hallonsaft4]

@Azeon91 DONT GET ANTEC 902, i had it and wow its REAALY loud on the lowest fan settings... u gotta buy new fans

dont get cooler master haf eather

GET fractal design define r3 :)

[Azeon91]

@hallonsaft4 lol this is so funny i was going to get haf 922 but i changed my mind and bought Fractal Design Define XL Black Pearl :)

[SUPERMONJ]

@Azeon91 i had both haf case 100%

[TheSkate4life13]

I bought one! XDD

[xTheDevilinsideUx]

Hi, im thinking of getting this haf 922 but im struggling to find a motherboard that will support at least 3 chassis fans(preferably 5), it is really annoying as i may be looking at changing the case, i am new to pc building and i know what i want but the MoBo i want doesn't support atleast 3 fan headers. HELP!!!

[Ryftx]

This or 902 antec, detailed answer would be much appreciated

[999cheetos999]

@Ryftx Antec 902. The only advantage of the HAF-922 is for its airflow and tooless design, but that doesnt mean the 902's airflow is bad...its almost as equal and awesome if you install CM aftermarket fans on the 902. And the 902 looks alot better and has a better finish than the 922. This is when wire management and cleanliness matters...

[sexking83]

@Ryftx 922 has better fan options.. you can put 2 120mm on the front or 1 200mm the top is the same.. u can put another 200mm on the side or the top hence the name high air flow 922 and toolless stuff.. air from bottom

[999cheetos999]

@sexking83 Yeah like I was saying. The HAF-922 's airflow can be compared to near overkill, you would probably need a HAF if you live in high temperature areas, but in cold areas its large fans are near useless for non-overclocking people. Though my DragonLord K-62 has 2x 140mm top 2x 140mm front it already exhibits 30C highest MB temp and 28C highest proc temp OC'd...what more for a HAF XD

[sexking83]

@999cheetos999 yes hence the name high airflow.. also the looks dont look too bad either lol

[sexking83]

@999cheetos999 yo thats a cool blue case where did u get it? i googled the dragonlord where did you buy your case?

[999cheetos999]

@sexking83 The local computer hardware store near my house was selling one, its probably the only thing that isnt generic there along with Obsidian 800.Try getting a deal in Newegg. Its cheap,100% tooless compared to other cases with some tooless features,tower,and has awesome fans w/antivib padding and filters. Though be warned, that thing is damn heavy and you need to adjust some things when putting in long cards like 5970. I modded mine to have 1 more 140mm in front

[sexking83]

@Ryftx 902 antec is stock blue and 922 is stock red depends on what u want

[MMAliker456]

@Ryftx HAF 922 is more future-proof as it supports GPUs over 12in long and it is easy to build in.

[pmg4812]

The bracket is to convert one of the 5.25" to external 3.5" -- it is not 3.5" to 2.5"

[imkopZy]

does this mean that you can put a new cooler if your mobo is already in the case? with the hole in the back please let me know as soon as possible

[bakkenbears3]

@imkopZy  yes it does

[44fcgdf]

how much is this case u bought it for

i really wanna knw 

[guitara7x6661]

when I installed my ASrock P67 Extreme4 into this case the CPU window on the motherboard tray wasn't anywhere near big enough for me to install the backplate for a Cooler Master Hyper 212+, so I had to unscrew it all -_- other then that, great case. Have a 6950 and tons of room before it hits the harddrive bays, great airflow, everything running very cool, tooless design for a lot of things etc.

[Goliath002]

I think the HAF 912 Plus is better than this case, for some reason HAF 922 is missing some parts, like dust filters

[beddowNbedford]

This , Antec 902 or NZXT tempest EVO???

[Silvah777]

@beddowNbedford

HAF 922. With three 200mm fans you would never have to worry about heat and plenty of room for monstrous video cards and easy installation.

[Silvah777]

@fram4153

I have. That's why I said it in the first place.

[zabbestpriest]

this case is shit, no dust filters at all, and so much open space for dust.

[enderilles]

great vid! helped me decide to pick up this case

[QBisbest]

I'm using this right now.

[TheXtremeGamer90]

Is this better tha the antec nine hundred two ??? Please help !

[HighxTech]

Best review, thumbs up, subscribed, I'm getting this case for my next rig

[GamePlayUpload]

Shame there's no dust filters on the bottom

[XS7SXSNIPER]

does it come with a red led fans?

[Erroltuckerx]

@XS7SXSNIPER Yes It does.

[XS7SXSNIPER]

@Erroltuckerx all 3 or just one

[Erroltuckerx]

@XS7SXSNIPER Alright stop spamming me -.-

[XS7SXSNIPER]

@Erroltuckerx i'am not spamming?

[Erroltuckerx]

@XS7SXSNIPER Sorry, my mistake :)

[Erroltuckerx]

@XS7SXSNIPER Yes you are you idiot. GF blocked

[Erroltuckerx]

@XS7SXSNIPER iam not spamming?

[Erroltuckerx]

@XS7SXSNIPER i'am not spamming?

[TheTrueConservative]

So this comes with mounts for a SSD included?

[MichaelHNicholson]

Can very long video cards fit in this case?

[mrwhatwhat15]

what is the fan called on the front

[aznkid6780]

@mrwhatwhat15

front intake fan?

[kylerock1996]

@91splash Yes, the part on the motherboard side that is bowed out, that is for cable management.

[91splash]

Does anything come with the case for cable management?

[edwardwills]

@91splash, some Sata cables and IDE cables should be bundled in the case

[91splash]

@edwardwills i mean like twist ties and stuff for cables?

[SzabolcsSpy]

Cool! I will get this case and you helped a lot.

[Revanchist8525]

i still love this case even though its a bit old

[pheeson]

If the case only had black interior!!! 

[BLACKMischKa]

ill get it

[Redraptorxx]

So when I want to install a cpu cooler in this case I dont have to take everything out?

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

coolermaster make the best cases :)

[bikefreak248]

mic for the motherboard?

i think that's a speaker. :P

[DarthTirith]

Honestly, for the price tag of this case I'd expect more. You can get far better cases for less price..

[enanobo]

I want to put the Supermicro X8DAL-i Dual Xeon Motherboard, do you think that is egnoff air cooling for this Motherboard, whit the adicional 200mm fan?

[AquanozTUTZ]

Is this a good gaming computer?

Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7

Prosessor: Intel Core™ i7 Quad Processor i7-950

Cpu fan : Noctua NH-U12P

GPU : EVGA geforce gtx 570 (two of them)

SSD: Crucial RealSSD C300 128 gb

HDD : Western Digital caviar green 2 tb

PSU: Corsair HX850W

RAM: Mushkin DDR3 6GB Blackline Ridgeback 1600mhz

So what do you think? Plz reply and tell if other components fits better ;) BTW Nice videos:)

[zxcv1175]

@AquanozTUTZ overkill

[AquanozTUTZ]

@zxcv1175 Ok;P Thanks for answering :)

[Chrillox]

@AquanozTUTZ Get sandy bridge ffs...

[lkoihsadoji]

@AquanozTUTZ That is a beast.

[Lif3h0us3]

@AquanozTUTZ if your planning on spending that much anyway for a good computer, get sandy bridge procs' and i'd go for 7200rpm's instead of those WD 5400rpm's. datadisks or not.

[4xThexwin]

Will this case fit a XFX HD-695A-CNFC Radeon HD 6950 Video Card 2GB, if so i'm considering getting it.

[Chrillox]

@4xThexwin Tell me in a message if it can fit :)

[zezsn1p3r]

bought this case yesterday and im puttin together tonite any tips?

[EliteGhost001]

I got this case because I needed a bigger one for 5870 crossfire setup.

Don't regret buying it!

Indeed a beautifull airflow. Keeps the CPU cool. When overclocking the RAM, I've mounted an extra 120mm (old cpu cooler) on the side which blows straight at the RAM. And ofcourse the lovely big fan on top which sucks the hot air out. Lovely case, enough space to last.

But what the hell are people talking about a military theme? sorry the ruin the idea but that's crap :-P

[TheCratcher]

Is there any advantages with picking a full tower over a mid tower?

[the1randomdud3]

I'm wondering, how do you connect your monitor to this??

[EliteGhost001]

@the1randomdud3

What do you mean "how do you connect your monitor to this"?

The monitor has 2 cables for me. 1 is the power cable ofcourse and the other the video cable which most people connect to their video card. Some people connect it to their motherboard in which case their motherboard has a built in video card. But people who've got this case usualy have a PCI-E video card (or more then 1).

So, unless I'm not getting the question, this is your answer.

[the1randomdud3]

@EliteGhost001 Sorry I sorta meant something else but I got it solved. Since It's my first time building a PC I thought something else my bad, but I found out it's with the motherboard. Already bought this case and the other parts I need. (BUILDING ATM)

[EliteGhost001]

@the1randomdud3

Ah ok, well I finished building my second PC about 3 months ago. Have had over 70 bluescreens since. about 2 to 6 per day. (3 weeks of holiday and not using the PC). I'm sure your PC will do just fine since its only a small % of users which get problems. Mine appreared to be RAM problems (I've tried replacing mobo, RAM and harddrive) But it seemed by RAM had bad timings so I overclocked it.. last Bluescreen was because of undervoltage.. and I think I got it now :-

[DeepestBlueJ]

whats the music in the beginning??

[Tuningfreak899]

very good rewiev! thank u ,u helped me much, im gonna buy this tomorrow. =) thumbs up.

[Jtslugshipo]

epic vid dude!!! hey i love your vids :)

[alltimegamer247]

i♥my case xD
