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). 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. Huge hardware support including motherboards up to E-ATX format with additional cable grommets for oversized motherboards. Up to fifteen 2.5 or 3.5-inch storage drives can be installed at once.
HAF 700 EVO unveils a new era of thermal efficiency through unique features designed to transcend the standards of contemporary cooling solutions.

The idea of removable radiator or fan trays isn’t a new thing, though it is very convenient. However, this usually calls for lots of unscrewing first. Not in this case, though–no pun intended. Cooler Master has made the radiator trays removable via latches. You need to turn the latches, and the entire tray comes out. I love this design; it makes building in a case that's already a breeze to build in even easier. 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.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. On the right side of the case, there were even more features which were never seen before. Since most of the cables will be routed at this side of the case, Cooler Master has specially designed shrouds and covers to hide the cables. For lazy people like me, I’d have to be less concerned with cable management, as I can just shove all the cables behind the cables and call it a day. To test CPU cooling performance, I tested Intel’s Core i5-12600K while running Cinbench, both with CPU power limits unrestricted and with lower 95w & 65w enforced thermal limitations. 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. 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.
In no time at all, I was able to successfully install our motherboard onto the motherboard tray. The stand-off were already in place for the SSI-CEB form factor motherboards, and I did not have to add or remove any standoffs from the tray.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. The HAF 700 Evo is also very heavy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But at over 50 pounds empty, you’ll want to have an extra friend (or plenty of muscle) if you need to move your finished system even to another room, let alone up or down a flight of stairs. 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!!
sammaster said:I own a HAF XB Evo (the cube version of the old HAF) and I wish Coolermaster would update that case as well. What I realised later was that the whole shroud was also removable, and is secured onto the motherboard tray via a thumb screw. Since the default position was slightly higher, all I needed to do was to move it downwards. This then allowed the graphics card to then fit properly onto the slot. Extensive cooling support includes radiator locations in the front, floor, top and side with up to 480mm maximum length and a dual-chamber layout to maximise cooling potential. As a system builder that works mainly on mid-tower cases, my first impression of the HAF 700 EVO full tower case was that it’s huge. Building a system on the HAF 700 EVO is not easy as well, as the sheer weight of the case will make you struggle when handling it. Thankfully, there are still many interesting features on the case that still makes it an enjoyable process. In fact, building a PC within the HAF 700 EVO is actually quite different from your traditional builds. While I go through the various features of the case, you would probably understand why I say so. 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.
The HAF 700 is almost entirely tool-less – you can install almost any component without the need for screwdrivers including GPUs, the power supply, 3.5 and 2.5-inch drives, the HDD cage, liquid cooling pumps and reservoirs, and the external panels.
Great Deal
