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. 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. The power supply is mounted behind the motherboard tray, similarly to the Phanteks Ethoo Pro II. Mounting the power supply behind the motherboard tray helps fill out the rear of the case and Due to nearby construction while testing, I wasn’t able to take accurate measurements of acoustic levels with the HAF 700 Berserker. What I’ll say is that when limited to lower speeds, the included fans run practically silently, giving off just a faint hum. If you push the fans to their maximum speeds they’re obviously going to be more audible, though they were never what I would describe as loud in any of the tests I performed with Intel’s i5-125600K. 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.

The Tech Revolutionist was established in 2012 to bring the latest news from the PC DIY scene to the readers in Singapore. We have now expanded into many other areas in technology, covering a wide scope of topics from lifestyle consumer to enterprise products. 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.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. With all the cable management holes in place, it was quite a “walk in the park” experience to route all power and data cables to the motherboard. The result was that we can achieve a clean and minimal build without exposing too many cables. 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 largest standard hardware can fit in this chassis. You get up to 6.54 inches (166 mm) of height clearance for CPU coolers and 19.29 inches (490 mm) for GPU length. Cooler Master even says the case supports workstation motherboard form factors like SSR-CEB/EEB. Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX are also supported along with standard ATX. But installing anything less than a full-ATX motherboard in here would look pretty silly. When the whole system gets powered on, you will now know that what you’ve went through building the whole system is all worth it.To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an Intel Core i9-12900K, RTX 3080 and an SSD. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the Cooler Master HAF 700‘s cooling capabilities. HAF 700 EVO unveils a new era of thermal efficiency through unique features designed to transcend the standards of contemporary cooling solutions.

Since Intel’s 12 Gen “Alder Lake” has shaken up the desktop landscape (and taken prominent spots on our best CPUs for gaming list), we’ve updated our case testing hardware. We’re now using a Core i7-12700KF, which is being cooled by a Noctua U12s air cooler. Our graphics card is a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti Gaming OC. Acoustic Results for the Cooler Master HAF 700 Evo 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.I bought this case. Looks great, but is seriously pissing me off right now - lots of serious problems with it. I have to say... I'm not liking the price or the front grill/face design completely, but I love how good it looks on the inside. The Ultimate Case for the Ultimate Build. This would really be how I would describe the Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO case. Radiator mounts: 420mm front, 280mm/2x 360mm roof, 420mm/480mm side, 360mm/420mm floor, 240mm rear. Noise levels are measured by placing a noise meter 300mm from the front of the chassis while the stress test is running and the peak noise level during the test is recorded. The noise floor (ambient noise level) in the room is 36dBA.
