Comment:
This case gets excellent testimonials. No "Blue Edition"? I am considering of acquiring this case. I can't find a "Blue LED fan edition" Does everyone know if I would be capable to swap out the red fans for blue?

COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1 Black Steel/ Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Cons:the hot swap bays for your optical drives only has the coller master quick grip button on one side. if you dont want a wobbly disc drive you need to put a screw in on the other side. Its not a big issue im just splitting hairs here

Pros:This case Is amazing. when i first turned it on, my monitor wasnt plugged in and i couldnt hear anything. I thought it had shut down and i had broke something! Looking inside though, all the fans were spinning and i booted into bios fine. This machine is SILENT!!

Comment:
I wrote a positive critique of this case a few weeks ago. Since my critique, I ran into a dilemma with the hot-swap backplane: one particular of the cable ports pulled ideal off. I contacted buyer service and explained the challenge, asking only for a replacement aspect. The help guy blew me off and told me to use the e-RMA approach. I submitted by e-RMA request for the portion that day but have not heard back in two weeks. I checked my RMA request on-line right now and the status was listed as "request pending". That's an absurd wait for a circuit board that would most likely price them 50 cents, max, to replace. Fantastic items don't make up for negative customer service. A fantastic business knows how to follow via. Like a lot of "manufacturers" these days, CoolerMaster's true function possibly gets accomplished by underpaid workers in Asia; I doubt that the individuals on the U.S. side of things give a hoot about anything except collecting their paychecks. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer - We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. For any components, we have our clients file a Component Request type so our Components division can course of action and ship the replacement component beneath warranty, along with finding a tracking number automatically. If you have the aspect request number available, we can rectify the predicament for you. You can contact us via the Reside Chat link below.

Simple cable management. High high quality steel situation. Plenty of air flow -No dead air-. Could not be the finest case for a 1st time build. If a clean construct with minimal visible cabling is your aim I highly recommend this case. The video card cooler didn't operate with my 2 ATI 5870 cards. I had attached a red 120mm fan to it in hopes of some added bling-lighting. Great thought if it had worked. I replace the side fan with COOLER MASTER Megaflow 200 R4-LUS-07AR-GP 200mm Red LED Case Fan which added some a lot required bling to the situation. I also applied the very same fan on the best two spots. the front a single needed some creative cable management but the finish outcome is brilliant. My processor runs at 25c at idle and has under no circumstances gotten over 44c. Typical run in-game temp is 34c. My create is as follows.Asus Crosshair IV FormulaAMD 1090t OCed to three.7GHzCooler Master V8 CPU Heatsink/fan8Gb - Gskill DDR3 2000 Flare RAMGskil Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD boot driveDual XFX ATI 5870 Video CardsDual 150GB Raptors RAID for programsI opted to not use the front USB 3. ports. The case comes with conversion cables to convert the ports to USB two. which is the route I went since i didn't want the blue cables sticking out of the back of my case.

Comment:
A situation is a colossal size that can hold up to four of the largest higher end cards with the 9 pci slots, and it can hold my 120mm cpu fan with lots area to spare. My ATX motherboards also fits with no a issue. The cooling is good, fans in this situation are substantial, quiet and move alot of air, along with great air circulation. The situation looks incredibly durable, so i don't have to be concerned about it breaking. The tooless design on the drive bays are simple to figure out so you can simply place your hard drive in with no obtaining to screw them in. cable management is pretty effortless as it has plenty of holes to place the cables in, along with a nice tiny extra space behind the motherboard. The cpu cut out on the motherboard tray demands to be a small wider, mainly because it does not match the cpu to the back of my motherboard. it only comes with 1 fan on the leading, they really should place two.i dont like the way how you must remove the front aspect of the situation , by pushing some lever or a thing, it tends to make the situation feels less sturdy. It comes with a lot of quite useful accessories, you can't use them all at when, but its nice to have anyways.Lots of screws, you don't have to be concerned about running out unless you lost the whole bag.

Cons:-You need a fan controler or the fans might be a bit loud for someone sitting beside the case.

Pros:-Great airflow even with the stock fans.-Very easy to assemble a PC in this case.-Very solid and sturdy case.
Comment:
I've done lots of pc building in the past and I can say the HAF X is a great case for the price. Sure, I was looking at the 800D but the price of the HAF X was more attractive to me.Previously, I had an Azza Toledo, which is a pretty decent ~35$ case that could let me overclock my Phenom II X6 1090T at 3.8ghz with a Corsair H50 with the stock fan and a Noctua fan, but it could not let me reach 4.0ghz...the HAF X let me do it now. I've been torturing my pc for 3 days at 4.0ghz and I've got no crash of errors.It's sitting idle at 33°C and it can go around 53 at full in certain games. I'm changing my cpu cooling solution very soon, the H50 is not cutting it but the HAF X sure gives it the cool air to do it's job.I'm very satisfied. I've put a Bitfenix Spectre Pro 200 mm above the cpu to replace the stock fan and moved it on the free spot on under the top bezel. It's moving like twice as much air. I've put a device with 5 red LED and seriouly, it have a killer look, this case is screaming MOD ME!Long story short, I love my need case. It's going to last me probably the next decade.

I got this case a small over two weeks ago from Newegg.ca This situation has a fantastic function that many do not comprehend, that is the motherboard side panel that comes off is shaped in such a way that tends to make it even easier to hide and handle cables. Cable management in this case is a joke, I spent little a lot more then half an hour switching my personal computer from its old situation to this one and it is so clean and tidy that it looks like a professional job. Mounting holes for just about every motherboard out there, fantastic cooling desing. I dropped six degrees on my 6950 below load as effectively as dropping ten degrees internal situation temps.The fans are not absolutely silent, with headphones on I am in a position to hear them nevertheless they are low rpm 200mm fans so what I am able to hear is really the air being moved around. I do not hear any buzzing of the fans or higher pitch noise. I was really pleased with the over abundance of screws and nuts and bolts that came with this case, I extremely advocate this case. There is a GPU 80mm fan bracket that comes with this situation, if you want to use this you will will need to take away the cowl off of the 200mm fan on the side panel to make it match. I recommend not getting rid of that and merely taking a Dremel to it, the cowl is designed to concentrate air flow to the GPU and it does. Removing this wile even setting up the more GPU fan bracket would cause you to shed a lot of "directed" fresh air to your GPU. Cooler Master should have previously cut that cowl knowing a lot of individuals would intend on keeping it on even soon after setting up the extra GPU Fan Bracket. With this case and 2 further fans set up I run 46 degrees on my XFX 6950 below load, 32 degrees on my Motherboard below load, 38 degrees on my Ramm and 52 on my CPU "with stock heat sink". If you have a bit of coin invested in to your Computer, this situation is a must.

This case was an absolute pleasure to construct in:-Fits my Noctua cooler with out any difficulties, did not have to move the 200m side fan at all.-Cable management is excellent, and the black box that covers all the cables coming out of the PSU makes it look incredibly clean.-Side doors are incredibly sturdy, I previously had the Antec 900 and the top quality / heaviness on these just blows earlier instances out of the water. I stubbed my toe on 1 :/-Wheels are a nice touch, tends to make it genuine uncomplicated to construct in on a table spinning close to from the front to back.-Dust filters are a great touch, I haven't had it extended adequate to where I will need to take them out to clean but it seems fairly simple.-Hot swap bays and 5.25/HDD toolless systems had been so amazingly effortless to use. -Fans are QUIET! I came from the Antec 900 and was blown away at that.-The air duct for the GPU worked good on my single GTX 570. Your mileage may possibly fluctuate with crossfire/sli. Don\'t forget you do have to buy your own 120mm fan to use it. -The largest con is that they don't give you a USB 3. Header. I bought the Gigabyte UD4 motherboard which accepts a three. header on the motherboard, as an alternative I have to route the two USB 3. cables by means of the back of the case into the motherboard three. slots in the back. CM says they are going to send out headers to HAF X owners in April, would have been great if they could do it sooner.-Yet another minor gripe is I wish they had place the front IO panel higher up rather of sticking right out the front. Extremely easy to walk by and brush up against any wireless sound usb stick / thumb drive and mess it up.-Would have been great to consist of the 120mm fan for the GPU holder / air duct Apart from the two cons, this case is magnificent. Cable management is a breeze, it's quiet, Really sturdy and will fit any portion you throw into it. I was looking at the NZXT Phantom, HAF 932 and the Lanboy and am very pleased with my finish selection.

I am very satisfied with this case. If you are on a multi screen setup, you can easily fit a 4-way SLI. The stock fans do a decent job and are very silent. The fact that the fans have a maximum RPM of 700 may cause problem if you use onboard fan controlling program (for me, asus FanXpert2 had difficulty to calibrate them).

Spacious beyond belief, the fans run excellent! You have the capacity to wire your computer system so beautifully. I did a lot of analysis on circumstances (about 4 months worth,) and I will not regret my case selection. Runs at 32-34c idle and about 42c if I have been playing SC2 for a few hours. I ran into a couple of issues, but effortless fixes. The circumstances corners life to come out and catch the side panels, producing it just about impossible to get the side panel off. I took a pair of plyers and moved the corner back into place. Also, the red LED light for the energy light kept coming out. So when i installed the second top fan I placed it back in with some electrical tape to hold it firmly in spot.

Large case, fantastic airflow, could fit a body in there if you wanted to, lots of fans and stuff, a lot of drive bays, wheels, this case is incredible compared to my Dell XPS 630i. The new GTX 5xx cards (the large ones) have a small difficulty fitting right with the air duct. I wish that it came with a fan, but I purchased a Zalmann 80mmx15mm to go back there for more airflow. Will be employing this case on a P67 set up, so I will get back with you and let you know how it goes, even even though this is a HAF case I am going to be working with the Corsair H70 to cool the 2600k. You will not be disappointed in this case, if you are on the fence, do it! It is a fantastic and well made product.

Massive, sturdy, and has caster wheels. The casters come in incredibly handy in keeping the case off the carpet. It is rather quiet thanks to the significant fans. I'm going to stick with the stock fans because my technique stays a lot cool. Don't be fooled by the exhaust flow, it feels less than it is. I compare it to a slow river compared to a fire hose; the volume is there, it just doesn't move as fast.A lot of space for these substantial CPU coolers and graphics cards. Access to the dust filters could be improved on. There is ample room to have slide in/out quickly cleanable filters, yet some disassembly is essential for suitable cleaning.The instructions can be vague. (However, with a tiny patience and insight, they can be figured out.)I can't bring myself to subtract an egg for these shortcomings, nonetheless. In my opinion, some sort of case lighting beyond the front fan is a need to-have. The huge interior swallows up regular exterior light. It has a window, let's see what's in it.Ultimately, yes, it is larger than most instances. My wife, used to seeing absolutely nothing greater than a mid tower, was absolutely flabbergasted. It took her about a week to get utilized to it.

Comment:
For the most part this case looks beastly, even performs beastly as far as airflow is concerned. The 180mm, 200mm and 140mm chassis fans that are included do a fairly good job of maintaining high airflow, but for the pricetag i'd have hoped they would include both top fans.All in all it's roomy enough that even with the massive A70 it still feels uncramped. Judging by the videos, it is also relatively easy to remove the lower (or upper) cage to make room for additional water cooling solutions - should you so choose.All in all i'm happy with my purchase because I've got room to grow and upgrade for a while to come.

This thing will keep your build very cool, if I were you I would opt for the 3rd 200mm fan and use the GPU bracket with a 120mm for even better flow. Perfect case for a radiator too you can fit a 360mm radiator at the top for WC.
