With the development of computer DIY, the chassis has evolved from the original uniform ordinary iron plate to various design styles such as steel plate, side transparency, acrylic, pure aluminum, etc. But today, we want to show you a very interesting modular chassis. CoolerMaster MasterCase H500P middle tower host chassis.

Appearance details display

The packaging is quite firm and wrapped with film

After tearing off the film. There is also a protective frame made of cardboard and tied with ties inside.

The full-color outer packaging focuses on the fact that it is also an RGB chassis, which supports the mainstream AURA sync Asrock RGB, Gigabte RGB and Msi RGB cover almost all motherboards.

There are some instructions on the back of the case, but they are all in English.

On the left is the data description information of the chassis.

The weight is 11.3kg, the size is 544 * 242 * 542MM, there are many types of motherboards supported, and there are also some fan support sizes, and the CPU heat dissipation height supports 190MM.

The product information label, origin Dongguan, QR code and barcode SN are pasted on the surface, and the production date is November 13, 2017.

On the side is the front color picture of the chassis. You can see the two 20CM large fans this time.

Unpacking because it is a modular case. So the first thing I saw after unpacking was the precautions for taking out the case

A manual, a packing box in the middle of the foam block, and the whole chassis seem to be wrapped in a bag.

Accessory box, instruction manual, use card

The manual explains the disassembly of the chassis module in detail.

Inside the box is a stack of orderly stored accessories.

The support strip (according to the instructions, this is the expansion strip of the front fan position), cable ties, various screws of the chassis, large 4PIN male and female connectors+adapters, and a black silk handkerchief, which is supposed to be used to clean tempered glass, are also carefully prepared.

It's quite convenient to say that the foam of the whole chassis and its pad is in the bag of this cool logo.

Disassemble the bag, the cushion foam above and below, and a transparent moisture-proof and dust-proof bag.

H500P middle tower modular chassis body, large side transparent tempered glass, plate thickness 0.8mm, silver black style.

In front of the front, there are two super large RGB fans 20CM, which are made of industrial polycarbonate instead of tempered glass or acrylic. Very transparent.

The rear side cover is completely enclosed and rear recessed.

The rear visible power supply bin is lower, 7 pcie card slot, and a vertical slot design. The rear 14cm fan is non RGB.

The I/0 panel is designed with an angle of 45 °, which is also convenient for plugging. The silver style has a sense of technology.

2 * USB 2.0, 2 * USB 3.0, microphone, headphone interface, on key, restart key, hard disk light.

The reset button is very small, and it needs a little force to press it. Very considerate anti accidental touch.

Still thinking about how to disassemble it, I didn't expect that the entire front-end module would be disassembled with a gentle lift.

The front two Kuleng's own 20cm large RGB fans adopt a slightly transparent design, a 9-fan blade design, and a medium radian. It is worth noting that the design of a ring surrounding the fan blade is adopted. It is estimated that the fan blade is too large, which needs to maintain stability, break the fan blade, and possibly collect light at the same time.

Gently lift the top cover, which is also made of industrial polycarbonate. It can be installed on the top.

120/140mm fan x 3 or 200mm fan x 2 supports 120mm, 140mm, 240mm, 280mm, 360mm (up to 55mm thick) water drain.

Look carefully at the honeycomb iron mesh design on both sides of the upper and front modules, and the super small square dust-proof mesh on the back.

The bottom is supported by 4 silver ABS plastics, and the bottom is provided with 4 extra long anti slip pads.

A honeycomb dust-proof net is embedded under the honeycomb cooling hole of the power supply compartment for easy disassembly.

In terms of side penetrators, the whole side penetrators are made of 4mm tempered glass, and the support mode is not a four side locking screw, but a large screw in the middle of the top.

I thought it was a screw, but I didn't realize that it was just a snap. I twisted it against the clock for a while -- I really had to read the manual.

The whole glass is inlaid with thin iron modules above and below. The contact edge is a strong black adhesive strip, which is not afraid of falling glass.

After removing the steel protective glass, the interior looks no different from that of the ordinary tower case.

The seams were neat, and the willow nails were sprayed black.

The black Kulengjia 14cm air outlet fan has a 3pin interface, a 7 * PCIE card slot, and a vertical 2pcie card slot beside it. It is estimated that it is designed for players who install DIY acrylic light-emitting modules, or add PEIC extension lines and vertically display video cards. The rear mounted 120/140mm fan x 1 (standard 140 x 25mm fan x 1, 1200RPM) supports 120mm, 140mm water drain.

In the middle is the location of the motherboard, which supports mini ATX ATX M-ATX ITX and other motherboards of various specifications. There are also three rubber cable holes beside it.

In addition to the standard 2 * 20cm RGB fan, there are two fan card slots in the front. If the additional card slots in the accessory box are included, there are three fan card slots.

God, the front can be installed with up to 5 fans Check the specifications of the front installable.

120/140mm fan x 3 or 200mm fan x 2 (standard configuration: 200 x 25mm RGB fan x 2, 800RPM) supports 120mm, 140mm 240mm, 280mm, 360mm water drain.

The lower power supply compartment has a cool logo, which provides two 2.5 inch solid state card slots.

The rear side cover adopts rear embedded type, which is not the common upper embedded type on the market at present.

The screws are large and easy to remove.

Disassembly is very simple. Look carefully at the card slot. The four positions of the cover are card slots in fixed positions.

Various wires of I/O panel are tied together with moisture-proof bag.

Power supply position. It is estimated that there is no problem with all power supply types on the market at present, but it seems that they are not put in later.

Honeycomb dust screen under the power supply. It is easy to disassemble and clean.

Connect the jumper, restart, switch, keyboard light and power light of the mainboard.

Inside the chassis Modular disassembly

Next, the modularization of the interior of the chassis was disassembled. It was unbelievable. It was the first time I came into contact with such a modularized chassis.

Where to start? First remove it from the card slot behind the motherboard. A piece of armor.

I thought it was necessary to find the screw, but I didn't think it was just stuck Very light. It should be made of ABS.

Then it is the place where the original chassis is wired. Remove the upper and lower two screws, and it will open automatically like a door. Just like an ordinary door, you can lift it up and take it out.

Here we see the RGB interface of the front two RGB fans.

At the same time, you can also see the 2 * 3.5/2.5 hard disk bits hidden below. At the same time, I saw two screws on it, so I also removed them.

Back to the front, I removed another screw and removed the cover on the hard disk cage The hard disk cage is clearly visible.

The hard disk case is easy to take out.

I thought it was like this. How can it be a good modularization? So I turned to the manual again.

Remove 4 more screws, and then remove the cover on the power supply compartment together with the 2.5-inch SSD case.

After that, another screw was removed and a 2.5/3.5-inch hard disk box was removed from the card slot.

After turning over the manual, a few more screws removed the fan card slot directly.

Continue, and the I/0 panel was also removed. It seems that there are screws at the back, but there is nothing to add modularization. I will save some effort and still won't remove them.

So that's what you see. Except for the standard fan, I have removed everything I can, which is a bit messy.

Sort it out. There are just so many modules.

Sort it out, it's probably so much, modular~~

After sorting out, the entire H500P modular chassis was disassembled by me, leaving only the standard fan and wicker nail frame.

I didn't expect so many modules. The mold runs in to the molding assembly and then changes the error. I'm afraid the cost of the grinding tools is not what ordinary chassis can do.

install equipment

For this use, ASUS TUF B350M PLUS, Kuleng's own T610P RGB radiator Ryzen 1600 、 And the Jinbang EVO RGB DDR4 3200 C16 I received from the fags.

I almost forgot that I got the air-cooled version of Sapphire RX VEGA 64.

Proper~~

Upper heat sink, upper memory.

It is matched with RX vega 64 silver style.

The parts are ready. The next step is to start the machine.

I had always wondered where the power supply came from, but I found the answer after disassembling it. Put it any way you like. There is a shockproof pad at the bottom.

Then remove the graphics card and install the motherboard.

Then install the video card

Then connect the I/0 cable of the chassis first, and then connect the power supply of the motherboard and the graphics card.

Then install the hard disk box back, and fix the Install the hard disk into the 2.5-inch bracket and put the hard disk into the 3.5-inch hard disk box.

Cover the module of the hard disk cage

On the back, we connect the solid state&mechanical hard disk cable

Try to put the wires in the middle, and then install the modular cover of the wiring to hide the wires inside.

Then cover the armor cover on the back of the motherboard. Except for the power supply compartment, almost all the cabling is hidden. If it is not because my module cable power supply cable is not long enough, I think there will be no cable blocking the power supply.

Back to the front, screw the front module from the back to fix it. The routing is mostly hidden.

Then cover the upper module and front module back.

I dare not say that the wiring is good without a customized flexible cable, but most of them can be hidden. Unfortunately, RX VEGA64 can't connect the RGB synchronization pin of the memory because it blocks it.

When I put on the side cover of tempered glass, it doesn't reflect light as you think, because my camera is too mirror.

Successful startup, RGB is playing a role.

It's a pity that the light bar can't synchronize the lights.

Seven color RGB, unfortunately, there is no way to synchronize the light bar.

CPU-Z Ryzen 1600 is used by default and debugged when available

I couldn't get on 3200 before. At first, I thought it was a memory problem, but now I rerouted it. It turns out that I didn't like the trouble of cabling and only connected two 6+2pin video cards on one line to supply power. As a result, the remaining power on the motherboard was not enough to supply memory for overclocking. This time, 6+2pin video cards on two lines were connected, and the power supply was enough. 3200 was successfully turned on.

Memory test

No doubt Samsung Bdie, the flash core manufacturer

After baking the CPU a little, I found that the front 20cm fan was really powerful, the sound was very low, and the fan blades were very stable. The maximum rotational speed is 800 rpm, which supports mainboard speed regulation.

The FPU baked for nearly 45 minutes has a higher temperature than the normal full load operation. However, the temperature is only 50 ℃, while the speed of T610P is only 1000 rpm, which has not reached the extreme speed.

Although the RX VEGA 64 uses a public turbine for heat dissipation, in front of the 20cm large fan at the front 2 bars of the H5009, the baking temperature of the graphics card is only 74 ℃ for 30 minutes.

The front two 20 cm RGB fans are really good. They are much quieter than the general 12 cm fans. When your hand is close to the honeycomb vent on one side, you can obviously feel the wind being sucked in.

Chassis RGB effect

summary

Advantages:

1. A new modular chassis, worth playing with. The packaging and workmanship details are in place, the gap is very small, and it fits perfectly.

2. The detachable module is very convenient. It supports many fans and water-cooled exhaust, and has a very powerful transformation function. In addition to its shape, it can almost transform the air duct cold exhaust, the vertical display card, and the location of the hard disk bin at will according to its own requirements.

3. Although there are many modular designs, they are quite reasonable, and wiring can be easily hidden by modularization. The standard front two 20CM fans are very bright. The speed is very stable and the sound is low. The air duct in the chassis is very good. Synchronizing motherboard RGB is even more colorful.

Disadvantages:

The best price is also 868. Compared with 300-600 chassis, the price is a bit higher. However, I felt it was good after I played with it. After all, it was a modular chassis, and the details were well done. If there are any shortcomings, unfortunately, it does not have handles like the C700P. The front module is easy to remove during lifting.
