Included vertical GPU mounting kit with a PCIe Gen4 riser for complete support of the latest generation graphics cards. The included infinity mirror can also be placed below the graphics card and angled to display the GPU RGB features usually hidden away in horizontal orientation.

With a case this big, I expected support for large radiators, and Cooler Master did not disappoint. What I wasn’t expecting was support for up to a 240 mm radiator in the rear; that’s something I’ve only seen before on the Corsair 1000D. Along with that, you get a maximum of a 420 radiator at the top, front and bottom of the case, and a 480 rad on the side. Seriously, there are enough cooling options here for three normal cases, if not more. I appreciate how Cooler Master balanced modernizing the original HAF, without cutting out all the original design, and specifically its excellent performance. There’s no doubt that the Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO is a brilliant case for installing a high-end system with an elaborate custom loop cooling setup. The available space combined with the option for installing multiple big radiators should appeal to water cooing enthusiasts looking to build a dual-loop or two or three radiator cooling system, while still being able to fit in multiple 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch storage drives.

Return of the king, for a king’s ransom

While we are happy to admire the clever touches you get in the HAF 700, such as the ability to install the power supply, storage drives and graphics card without touching a screwdriver, it doesn't change the fact that this is a very expensive case. I bought this case. Looks great, but is seriously pissing me off right now - lots of serious problems with it. This works when only one original case cable is plugged into motherboard. COOLER-MASTER FOR OVER 700 EURO FOR A CASE YOU SHOULD SUPPLY A WORKING TWO TO ONE 19-PIN MOTHERBOARD CABLE SO I DON'T HAVE TO TRY AND DO IT MYSELF AND STILL NOT WORK!!

After spending a few hours with the HAF 700 EVO, it got me all excited about PC building all over again. Undoubtedly, when dealing with a case like this, and as a tech reviewer, I was simply amazed by all the various features and thought process put into a product. Every single component was properly engineered and considered. Nothing was pretentious, and all of it served a purpose. If you are looking for a new top of the line desktop PC case for that workstation or that no-compromise gaming build you have always dreamed about, the HAF 700 EVO is one serious contender. You just have to make sure that you motherboard is good enough to be worthy of the case (not the other way round). Nowhere does it say you need 2 x USB 3.0 19-pin header – for 4 x USB 3.0 Type-A ports at the front of the case As well as huge storage space, the HAF 700 EVO also has multiple radiator placement options too. The front of the chassis can accept up to a 420mm radiator or three 140mm fans, the same on the chassis floor. In the roof of the case, the user can install either up to two 360mm radiators/six 120mm fans or up to a 420mm radiator/three 140mm fans. There is an additional vertical radiator mount by the side of the motherboard tray which allows for up to a 480mm radiator.This means that the case should be great for installing a complex custom loop cooling system due to its size and radiator support, we expect to see plenty of exotic builds in the Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO. There has also been a big push on the front panel design with the HAF 700 EVO, tempered glass slats are illuminated by RGB lighting and an LCD Iris display is positioned centrally between the glass which gives the front of the case a very unique look. KitGuru says: If you are keen on the Cooler Master HAF 700 you may as well go all-in and instead opt for the HAF 700 EVO. Extensive tool-less design minimises the use of screws when assembling the system, saving time for the user. Storage drives, panels, even the GPU and PSU installation are tool-free processes.

For a start, because the HAF 700 EVO is a full tower case, it also supports motherboards that are sized larger than usual. I’m not talking about your standard E-ATX motherboard, but rather also SSI-CEB and SSI-EEB. These are form factors which are only adopted in workstation server motherboards. As such motherboard needs to fit more components on them, they need to come in such sizes. Not only is the HAF series about high airflow chassis design, but according to Cooler Master it also brings innovative new features that we may see implemented into more or all chassis in the future. So, what’s new in the HAF 700 EVO I hear you say? Well, the engineers have put a big emphasis on tool-free installation which is noticeable as soon as you remove the case panels in preparation to begin your installation. To simulate thermal demand we run the Cinebench R23 multi-thread benchmark and 3DMark Time Spy Extreme stress test simultaneously in a loop for 60 minutes to fully load the system. This should give the CPU and GPU enough time to reach constant steady-state temperature. With this data, we can compare how the system handles the thermal demand and measure peak noise levels. The build turned out well in the end though. If anything, we could have thrown more hardware into the case and it would have still not looked too overcrowded. Cable management was a breeze with the large cable channel and integrated cable clips, there was no need to be super neat with the cables as the storage drive panel covers all the cables anyway. During the thermal tests, radiator fans were fixed to 850RPM and the front 200mm intake fans were fixed at 500RPM which meant that noise levels were on the low side. Removing panels only slightly increased noise levels but the system noise was still not distracting at all.A built-in real-time Iris status monitor is positioned in the prime location centrally on the front of the case. Iris is fully customisable via the Cooler Master MasterPlus+ software allowing users to display system info or add their own personal touch. We like the Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO, it's certainly different when compared to other cases on the market. It sits in a similar sector as big cases like the Corsair Obsidian 1000D but in terms of looks and ease of installation, the HAF 700 is better in almost every department, the only area that the 1000D wins is with its dual system support. The top panel of the case can also be easily take out, with the removal of two screws. In fact, I realised that without the top panel coming in your way, it was a lot easier to install the motherboard, as well as to connect the power cables. Absolutely terrible impressions of this new case. For the price of this case I should not be having these sorts of crazy problems with the case/software to run it. Horrible resonance in the included main HD case. I have four drives installed in this and when they are on and spinning (not sleeping) there is horrible noise coming from resonant vibration from drives through cage and into main frame. It is not constant either, keeps changing tone/frequencies of noise - sounds like a hairdressers shaver going all the time! Cage should have been insulated or dampened better to prevent vibration resonance amplifying through entire metal of case.
