Overall we are left with very positive impressions of the Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced. We love the styling of the case and are sure that it will appeal to a broad range of enthusiasts.
The huge red LED fans give the case a bit of extra wow factor when it's turned on so it's a great option for those who frequent LAN events.
The HAF 932 Advanced is also a great choice for those who want to build a high end water cooled system. There is masses of room inside to allow a user to install a thick 360mm radiator in the roof with a push-pull fan configuration.
All this internal space makes it very easy to build a system, especially considering the tool-less mechanism for securing expansion devices which works very well.
While it is difficult to compare temperature results between different cases because of all the different variables, we can't help but praise the cooling performance of the HAF 932 Advanced. We have used a Radeon HD6950 for a number of case reviews in recent months and are used to watching it peak at 78 or 79 degrees under load.
In the HAF 932 Advanced, it maxed out at 73c, which is a significant reduction in temperature. This gives us a lot of faith in the cooling performance of the HAF 932 Advanced.
Although enthusiasts aren't as price sensitive as the mainstream audience, the cost of a chassis is still a significant factor to consider. At a price of £100 at Ebuyer, we think that the Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced offers exceptional value for money, especially when factoring in the cooling proficiency and build quality. It is easily one of the best performing chassis designs at this price point.
Pros:
- Great cooling.
- Room for thick 360mm radiator.
- Amazing value for money.
- Good cable routing support.
- Loads of room to work with inside.
Cons:
- Aesthetics look slightly dated.
- The fans aren't dust filtered.
KitGuru says: Another impressive case from Cooler Master.
