GameMax F15M Gaming Case (Budget Cooler Master H500M)

Full mesh all the way I say! :p:D


Ok. Here's my H500M:

Very nice. What CPU cooler you got there? Also nice RAM. In the future I may get a smaller cpu cooler and rgb RAM.


Here's a quick video (cant work out how to embed it!)

Looks much better on a video. Love the lighting effects on the fans :)
 
Got to say this case really is value for money. I am enjoying having something new, even though what I had was great.

Still not heard back from their support team regarding the rattling fans, I get the feeling they do not have a support department with the prices they charge, either that or it means cheap fans equals they all rattle so they are just ignoring me. Might need to contact the retailer.
 
I'll let you know about mine when I'm home and the system is built.

Might be worth asking on mikes hardware unboxed YouTube channel mean time. He's pretty good at replying.
Thanks. I have two types of rattle, one that is at all times but you either need to be in a rather silent room or put your ear up against the fan to hear it. The other starts and stops which is much louder rattle. If the later stopped I could live with the former I suppose.
 
I bought a couple of the ARGB ones and plugged them into the case fan controller. Here are the results! (The second strip is on the top pointing down that you cant see)

Super. Going to do the same :)

Kind of don’t fancy giving them any more money due to them not replying back to my questions, but I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt with covid-19 and the fact that their stuff is cheap relative to their competition. Will just contact the retailer about the rattle.
 
I'd be curious as to what noise levels are like with that front mesh design actually
I have not tried but I on the review the guy says that they can be pwm and can get the mono to control them. On dc on low setting I would not say they are whisper quiet but you mainly hear the air being pushed (unless you get rattle like my fans). On my last case I had my fans hooked to mono and they were on lower rpm when browsing, you literally could not hear them unless you put your ear near the case.
 
No but I wanted to show off my handy work :)

I think a single colour strip might be better. It shouldn't take away from the fans as much.
Ah fair enough, it did not occur to me that was your case. Thought it was some random link from youtube, my bad :o:D

I ordered a ARGB strip, so will have one of each, can always swap over from top to bottom when I want :)
 
On that slippery slope.... AIO cooler next.... well, that big hunk of metal just spoils the look doesn't it? :p

Looking at 240mm rads, case supports up to 360, but only in the front. I want to mount to the top, so 240 is the official limit. (Though in this vid he suggests a standard depth 280 should also fit...)

Haha.

Post pics when it's done :)

I have installed the ARGB LED Strip that I ordered recently and I think you may have a point, it can be a little distracting having them on at times and it does seem to detract from the fans. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Will leave it like this, but if it does not sit well with me eventually I may put the ARGB strip to the top and put the RGB strip to the bottom.

I guess there is a fine line between tasteful RGB and too much RGB, feels like I may have crossed the line with the ARGB strip at the bottom :p
 
Hi guys, would this case fit a Arctic Freezer II 280mm AIO? :)



Try:

a) mounting the fans with rubber gromits against the screws
b) Folding a small piece of paper (as many times as needed until it's thick enough) and pushing it under the fan to really press it tight against the case mounting to reduce any looseness that may cause rattling.
It should, but might be a tight fit. Check out mike’s unboxing guys videos he has one that mentions this I think, it is in a q&a type video about the case.

I will give that a go, otherwise the alternative is to send the fans back and wait for replacements, they don’t want to do an advanced rma.
 
I had the argb and fans working fine until I wanted to switch over to mother board control. My hub wont work now. It's connected up via sata power as it was when I first built. I took the other cables out again after trying to connect it to motherboard now I have no fans! Anyone know what I can do? Did I short the hub or something?
Try reseating the sata power cable. Mine is very picky and does not make contact if not pressed in properly or at the right angle.
 
Guys, absolutely loving this case but I cant find a manual for programming the fans with the remote - if I just wanted the fans to come on when needed, would I need to connect them to the motherboard rather than the junction box in the case?
Yep, needs to be connected to mobo to control. I have not done it myself, i just use the remote.
 
Do like this case for the money. I got mine early November for £64. Few niggles with some things
but c'mon the price and and all I'll let that slide.
Highly recommended although the fans running on the included hub are not silent because it'll only has 2 fan speeds from it.
Pretty much my thoughts also. Not the best fans in terms of acoustics, but otherwise for the money it really is a great case.
 
Hi, just ordered this case, quick question, I've seen mentions of vertical GPU mount, but can't see how this works from the photos of the case, do I need to buy a separate mounting kit or does it come with one?
Not used mine. But all you will need is the riser cable.
