I've been doing our case reviews for a long time now and I've pretty much generally done them in the same way the
entire time but I'm going to mix it up finally with the first case being the
master case maker 5T from well Cooler Master the way that I'm going to do it
is I'm going to take it out of the box we're going to look at all the features or do the the case walk through from the
front IO to the inside and all that kind of fun stuff like we normally do and
then I'm going to build a computer into it but I'm going to do all of this live on set so you guys can come along with
me throughout the creation process and get my firstand experience building with
the case come along with

to start us off right in the top we have another box it's a box that's within a
box that is encased around a case don't worry about it it says Cooler Master on
it it's made of metal has a foam thing on the bottom which is nice so it won't scratch up your table and inside there
are accessories with their own little individual compartments which is awesome
but we will go more into that later when we're actually building the computer
then we have a user manual but who needs
that and that's what I'm here for anyways and then there is a microfiber
cloth this is included because there's a tempered glass side panel on here and
you're probably going to want to clean it off because those things collect fingerprints and everything else like
crazy the foam that comes with it I can tell you right now is pretty awesome
look how thick that is freaking huge and like if you press
into it it doesn't actually break but you can
see where I punched it it's pretty good
the case itself has a big handle on it which I'm obviously going to have to
have some fun with let me just get it out of here oh there's even more
foam on the back of the case that
seems slightly unnecessary but I'm not going to complain about more packing
foam because there's a high percentage chance that your case will come intact
this is one of very few cases that I've seen lately that actually comes with the
tempered glass on the actual case and it
looks pretty damn good but we'll come back to that later first we're going to
start with the front IO so I'm going to do a nice little peel for you
guys
everyone seems to love that one gripe I'm going to give them while the peel is
nice they put a whole bunch of gloss right where people are going to have to
put their hands so this area is going to look terrible after a little bit of use
there's four USB 3 ports a headphone and microphone Jack a reset button and a
power button both of which seem nice and satisfying and clicky to press and then
you have a fan speed and fan lighting mode control as there's a hub which
we'll be able to check out later on but I don't know which which one is which
cuz they left them unlabeled and you can actually see if I just do this how like
groy this front panel gets
after just a little bit of touching it which is a little bit unfortunate the
front of the case actually pulls forward if you just do that because you can put
Optical drives in the front or fanhub controls so yeah if you eject your drive
I'm assuming the drive might push this open but if you have an optical drive in
this year I would be pretty surprised anyways so moving up to the top of the
case we actually have a pretty surprising amount of features on the back here we have a trapezoid like
plastic panel which can be removed if you want more air flow or kept on if you
just want the more consistent aesthetic at the front you've got another area for
your fans to breathe and then right behind that under the handle there's
some angular slots which look pretty cool and also feed a little bit more air
to those top fans it's obviously not going to breathe as much as if the
entire top was open but it should do pretty okay then because it's a master
case maker kind of deal you can just pull this whole freaking thing off to
access the insides if you want to remove the handle you can take off these two
screws and this screw and then slide it backwards and off and then if you want
to be able to access where you can put your all-in-one coolers or just your top
fans in general you remove these four thumb screws and then take this whole
tray off which we will do later on for when we install our AI now of course
there's a handle so I have have to test the handle it's been a little while
since I've had a case that has a handle on it that I get to test and this one
has tempered glass on it so it's a little heavy but here we go oh my God it's really
heavy one thing came off that's it and
it was just the trapezoid panel that we just removed so I can put that back and
I think that's a pass the left and right side panels are the same and require
these keys to actually remove them they don't have the padded screws that a lot
of the other tempered glass side panel implementations utilize so if I just put
the key in here turn it to the right and then try to remove the panel it all
comes off as one just like that nice and
easy and it works that way for both sides the first thing you will probably
notice when looking inside of the case is the Striking red paint job which
should go well with the light bar because they're saying if you light it up the metallic flakes that are inside
will reflect and it'll look really cool but right behind that light bar you have
two SSD mounts to the right of that you have two rubber grommets which can
probably feed your PCI Express power to your graphics cards above that you have
more rubber grommets that can be used for like your motherboard power your 24
pin USB 3.0 all that kind of fun stuff
above that you have little cutouts for like fan power cables and your CPU power
and then a motherboard cutout for easy CPU bracket mounting and down at the
bottom again you have a couple more cutouts for things like your HD audio
and maybe your front panel headers just to the right of that we have the freefor
modular system that's these series of holes where you can install a whole
bunch of different stuff like reservoirs or in this case a GPU holder bracket
thing which you can pivot and raise and
lower if you use the little thumb screws that are on there to support your
graphics card so you don't have the ever ugly looking graphics card sag at the
end of the card looks gross isn't good for it just so you can just put that on
here which is nice and cool to the right of that and up a little bit you have the
optical drive tray and a place that you can put like fan control hubs and stuff
like that although the case has one on the back so I don't know why you'd
bother put one there uh I don't expect this to get used all that much but oh
well down from there you have a big hole that was cut out that's so you can fit
tall radiators if you take out the hard drive tray that is in the bottom you can
fit tall radiators in here for 120 mm by
2 or 140 mm by by two moving around to
behind the motherboard tray we can see the fan and LED controller Hub which
supports 1 2 3 four five six different fans which are all three pins although
I'm sure you could somehow kaj a four pin onto there and four different
LED strips but these have to be free form LED strips these do not work with
the 2020 plugs that you'll see on a lot of like Mass market led strips down here
there's the back side of the hard drive cage that we saw in the front and the
other side of a rubber grommets along with a whole bunch of like velcro styled
Cable Management Loops three of them in a row and a bunch of notches in various
places that they're often already using for cable management like going up to
your 8 Pin slot and with that I think it's time to build so let's get to it
first thing I'm going to do is actually remove the graphics card support thing
cuz it's sort of in the way of me installing stuff but luckily that's
rather easy to do install
my IO plate for my motherboard and get
that guy in there right away no I'm not I need some of
these so Cooler Master gives you a
huge thing which is all labeled so used
for side panel used for top fan used for motherboard tray power supply and fan
cage used for motherboard tray etc etc etc there a huge baggie thing of them
series of them but they don't reeal or anything so once to open this you're
done but that being said you still have
these little slots in their tray that they gave you that are unused so you
could just keep using the parts tray and put the stuff that you take out of it in
there so it's not too bad before we move on I actually said something wrong
earlier it's not just a 2x10 or 2x 140
mm radiator and fan setup you can do in the front if you take out the optical
drive tray by removing four thumb screws and just sliding it out you can access
this area add this little accessory that I found in the box the accessories box
up into the top bit and then you can fit up to a 360 mm radiator and fan set up
as well if you want to expand your cooling even further and with that we
will continue the build okay finally time to put the motherboard actually in
the case Okay the motherboard is installed
I'm going to take a look at this light bar that they have in here so they had
it taped in when it first showed up but it actually has a magnet on the back you
can see the the black backing isn't just Black backing there's a there's a bulge
over here and I'm assuming there's another magnet over here as well and you
can just place it onto the case and it sticks there even without the tape which
is pretty cool and means that you can move it around kind of however you want
if you want it to go for whatever reason on an angle back here you could do that
or if you wanted to run it all the way along the side you could do that as well
which actually might look better we'll see where I decide to end up leaving it
but I'm going to put it there for now that could look pretty
sweet next up we're going to install the power supply I really like it when case
manufacturers include these external power supply bracket thingies I just
find it makes it a lot easier to install things especially because I like
installing all the cables for my power supply first so that it looks something
like this I know everything that's going to be plugged in and I get it all set up
and then all I need to do is screw this bracket onto my power supply dangle all
my cables through and put my power supply in I don't have to worry about like jamming it in through the side or
any of that junk and it just seems to work better for me and there we go the
installation of the actual power supply is done now I just need to stand the
case back up and Route all the cables one nice thing about their SSD trays is
that you can put the SSD inside of it and have the nice flat black top and
have it all be stealthy and stuff or you can show off put the SSD on top of it
screw the SSD in through the inside and display it that way which is pretty cool
so I'm going to do that of course I'm leaving the cooler to last so there's
just inevitably going to be a huge catastrophic issue which is going to
make me take apart my entire build in order to install the cooler I'm just
calling it right now it's going to happen it's my fault I take all
responsibility right now I have to say I absolutely love it
when you can just install the radiator
outside of the case into a bracket and then just drop that bracket inside of
the case I hate trying to work with the
full case just to install the damn
radiator it gets so frustrating and it's just so much easier to do it this
way we're going to try to turn it on while it's on its side just to make sure
it
works what what the hell what was
that is the board
smoking what theu is there something
cream
oh what the something's dead like if you smell
this it it's bad
oh can you smell
that I haven't seen anything specific yet yeah well there's something dead you
can smell it right yeah
um that's supposed to
happen I don't need the power supply though it's definitely in here
somewhere okay so um something fried and
it smells really bad right now which is why I'm wearing this I'm not even sure
if like breathing in those fumes is a good idea so I thought I'd put a mask on
um I'm going to try to take everything out and figure out what exactly
fried but I seriously doubt it's the case's
fault and the build log went pretty okay
so so far doing good masterc case maker
5T but I do need to get to the bottom of
what just fried so that was fun uh it's
never actually fun to like lose computer hardware but it was interesting to say
the very least I thought now that it is rebuilt with a new motherboard and a new
power supply a new RAM and a new CPU just making sure that nothing's going to
smoke up uh that I would turn it on again on camera because who knows what
might happen so here we go where is the power
button voila it works nothing made crazy
ticking noises or started smoking or anything like that you've got the cool
light bar on the bottom everything's on
and I didn't waste an entire another computer worth of components comments
about the masterc case maker 5T if you liked the masterc case maker five it's
pretty freaking similar there's now a fan and ligh hub controller on the back
there a handle on the top and there's tempered glass side panels everything
you know and love from the previous one is still there and because of that there
wasn't a huge amount to comment on throughout the build It's a Wonderful
case if you want tempered glass that's awesome if you want a handle not enough
computer cases these days come with handles this one has a very sturdy
handle I'm not even worried about it now and honestly with everything in this
thing it's rather heavy anyways overall review it's good
it's not surprising tempered glass has
been around for a little while handles have existed before uh the light bar is
kind of cool but kind of think I need more of
it we have teamed up with Razer to bring
you guys another giveaway one lucky winner will get a death ater Elite Mouse
an orata keyboard a kraken V2 and a
cloth a cloth and five other lucky winners
will get a Kraken Pro V2 headset some of
the features of the Kraken Pro V2 include larger drivers a lightweight
frame a headband designed for better weight distribution and less clamping
Force ear cushions that are larger softer and have better sound isolation
and you can personalize it to fit due to it being
interchangeable it's got a fully retractable unidirectional microphone
and most importantly from the time that I've spent with it it is just playing
way better than their last headset so there's a definite thumbs up for that
