Cooler Master's MasterBox TD500 Mesh case is one of the most interesting we've worked with this year, striking a firm balance within the $100 price-class of high-performance cases. Review within.

The Cooler Master TD500 Mesh was shown at CES this year, but is just now getting to market. This case is intended to compete vs. the Phanteks P400A, Cooler Master H500 (blank), and Pure Base 500DX. Cooler Master is clearly taking inspiration from the Fractal Meshify C, but the question is whether it can improve upon Fractal's version of the 'intentionally dented' mesh front panel case aside from just taking design inspiration directly. This benchmark and review of the Cooler Master TD500 looks at thermal / temperature performance, noise performance, and build quality with a TD500 PC build.

@Gamers Nexus There’s an error at 13:25. Cable management space is read out in millimetre instead of centimetres. Instead of saying there’s 1.5-1.9 centimetres of space you say there’s 1.5-1.9 millimetres of space. This error is also present on the website in the text portion but not in the specs list.

Thank you for reminding everyone that closed loop radiators should be placed with the tubes down (although it looks way less cool). It's very hard to find this tiny but important bit of information anywhere on the web or user manuals for that matter. Speaking of user manuals, they never even touch in the subject of front mounted radiators which paradoxically make the most sense placementwise anyway.

@patricktho6546 4 жыл бұрын

For your last point: depends. If the GPU Temp is the "bottelneck" of your Performance a top mounted rad has its advantages. But as Jay concludes, the difference is very slim, soit doesn't mattet much.

@zig131 4 жыл бұрын

Agree R.E. Steve promoting correct installation regarding tube positioning. However: Front mounting radiators is NOT the best placement assuming front intake. Just means you are carefully taking heat to the front of the case and then blowing it back inside! Radiators should /ideally/ be placed on exhausts. Unfortunately due to sunk costs in tooling as discussed in the video, the case market is very slow to adapt to trends such as AIO and so the case manufacturers love to point out how the fact their old internal design wastes loads of space at the front grants it great radiator support! It's pure marketing from case manufacturers whereas radiator manufacturers have nothing to gain from suggesting an intake installation.

@zig131 4 жыл бұрын

@mister.T Jr I really don't know how you got the impression that I am defending case companies when my whole comment criticizes them for promoting poor practice and bodging support. I largely agree with you.

@DragonEdge10 4 жыл бұрын

@@zig131 Conversely though, unless your AIO rad is in a completely separate compartment, exhausting the hot GPU air through the rad only spikes up CPU temps. And considering most good GPU coolers don't really get affected by hotter ambients too much, versus AIOs getting very affected by exhausting hot air through it, front mount for AIOs are typically better.

Pretty solid case. This wasn't even on my radar when I was case shopping for my new build, I ended up going with the tried and true meshify C which this case looks HEAVILY inspired by, especially the front panel with that angular mesh grill. I agree. I don't really have any regrets as I love the meshify but this is an intriguing case too. Something to keep in mind for the future. I do like what they're calling a "crystalline" tempered glass panel, with the cuts in it. Pretty unique looking.

I just bought this case this month for my 5600x+3060Ti build. It’s been pretty good so far and haven’t had any problems with its thermals. Keeping in mind that I only have the 3 Stock fans for intake and added 1 exhaust fan (from my old PC from 2013-2015???), and using the stock Wraith Cooler that my 5600X came with. I haven’t touched or adjusted any fan settings and yet it has been able to keep a good cool temp of 45-55C. It would occasionally go to up to 60-65 but only that’s when I’m running multiple apps all at the same time. I’m planning to add 2 more exhaust fans at the top or an AIO. I’d say it’s a good buy for the money spent. PS: I have my room AC at 23-24C whenever I’m there using my PC.

Personally, I like the uniformly faceted mesh more than randomly facets. The randomness of the low-poly look that facets can give can work, but only on a 3D shape, not a 2D sheet with random mountains and valleys put into it. Uniformly faceting a 2D surface gives it a much cleaner look, akin to how jewels are cut, which is important for how the jewel plays with light, which can also be seen with this case's mesh front panel. Even without the RGB fans, the mesh still looks nice. Also the idea of using pins for mounting could lead to something useful eventually. Imagine a single piece removable and reusable rivet, either metal or higher strength plastic. Simple in and out, and no repetitive screwing, might even be faster to use. If they made it strong enough for water cooling components, I could see the idea being used, a lot, especially between the ease of use and aesthetics of them.

In GPU torture, NR600 is worse than TD500, by quite a margin, along with the render test

I couldn't buy this simply because Cooler Master's logo is so ugly.

@emmanuelgalleguillos-cote5427 4 жыл бұрын

I agree, if I end up getting this case, I will spray plasti-dip on the logo, either with an accent colour, or same color to just hide it completely. Their logo is a lot cleaner without the name on it like they are branding cattle.

I have the Cooler Master H500 with the two 200MM fans in front, and 3 of their MF120 Halo ARGB fans as rear and top exhaust. I love it, but if the TD500 had been available when I built this back in Jan/Feb 2020, I would have bought it instead solely for the slightly better looks. But seriously, between the H500 and the TD500, I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Nice review, guys.

I'm glad to hear this case did well! I have one (in black) sitting next to me that I just bought to build a B550 system in. This will be my first build since 2011, so time to shake off some rust ;-)

You mentioned the potential of optical disc drive support in some versions or future builds on this nice case. We have spot welded brackets in the top front but face them to the opening glass side on some so far. Works fine.

I was going to buy the Phanteks P400A ( I was very happy with my last Phanteks case) but two reasons why I didn't. It was out of stock or price was inflated, also it was limited on large air cooler mounting height. So thank you Steve and the gang as I bought the Be Quiet 500DX and I am super happy with it. Great clearance for my Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler. Seems to work great with 140mm x2 front (intake), 140mm top (exhaust) and 120mm rear (Exhaust, My Gpu has a 120mm AIO which exhausts here). One thing I would like to see with the case reviews is if you would mention the air cooler max height with each case. Thanks again, love the videos.

Hi Steve. Long time hair stalker first time commenter. I watched the thermaltake video and it reminded me of the Thermalright post on their Instagram that they recently revived. They had a passive cooler called Flower. Looked like a bunch of heatsinks in clusters. It be interesting to see it reviewed. I remember they also had ram heat sinks but nobody sells or has them anymore. If you do read this I love your videos. Thank you for everything you do.

This has been sold in my country and I've been recommending it for quite some time already and just like I thought, it's a really good case and great value mainly because of the ARGB fans. I can already imagine this getting more popular and sold out now that this review is out.

@dronshi 4 жыл бұрын

@makaroner Being a White-colored case is actually a feature a lot of people want and the NR400/600 doesn't provide that and there's also a black version of the TD500 mesh if you didn't know. Your RGB comment is just a personal preference, just because it's flashy for you means it's flashy for other people. TD500 mesh providing 3 ARGB fans saves quite a decent amount of money for people who want RGB on their builds. Though as a complete value perspective disregarding any aesthetic preference, the NR400/600 is better since it's cheaper and you can just add 1 front fan as shown in their testing to have better CPU temps than the TD500 mesh.

Just received my GN Mouse Mat (it takes a while to get from US -> Finland) and it was even signed with #99. Very cool, thanks Steve :) And talking about TD500, I built one machine for a friend in the previous H500P Mesh ARGB, they liked it and the temps and noise were very good. Mesh cases seem to be actually better than "noise dampening" cases with horrible airflow. I need to upgrade at least one of my own machines to mesh case, as Folding@Home at summer is quite noisy...
