Cooler Master Masterbox TD500 Mesh V2 Case Review

Complete System

The angle of the screwdriver and the GPU power cable routing (minor) issues aside, the final build really does look pretty fantastic.

There’s a good amount of space for a large CPU air cooler, and while I would have liked a rear fan, the amount of passive exhaust is plentiful.

There’s good clearance in the top too, so slim radiators or additional fans will fit easily enough.

The GPU has good clearance, albeit, the width would be a concern if you’re using an RTX 4000 series card.

I love this little PSU cover too, you can pop it off to flex your fancy PSU if you want. Mines is pretty battered though so I’d likely cover it up.

The overall airflow is very good, with three fans in the front bringing in a nice wall of cool air. Plus, even without fans in the back or top, heat has a lot of places to escape the case and it runs nice and cool.

The fans can be paired to your motherboard or controller. However, the built-in controller is hooked up to the reset button on the front I/O.

If you tap that button, you can cycle through a wide range of effects and colours without the use of desktop software.

It does look great though, with the angles cut on the glass, the geometric front panel, and all those vibrant colours from the fans!
