Why isn't OCUK doing pre-orders on the Cooler Master H500p

Simon Belmont · 8 Oct 2017 at 06:37

Hello @ChugNorris

I see Newegg in the states was taking preorders for the H500p weeks ago. The case releases on Tuesday the 10th of Oct and nothing here?

Will you have stock this Tuesday? Would like to buy one If I can.

Cheers

If you put a @ sign before his username it'll flag up as a notification when they log in like so @ChugNorris , might get a quicker response.

@Simon Belmont It was on NDA till tomorrow. Couldn't post it live. However on a completely unrelated note have a look at this - something unrelated

@ChugNorris

I really want this case, but if I preorder what if you don't get it for a while. Want to do my build by next week?

Edit:
Preordered.

Would love this case but can it fit an 2.5 wide Gpu in the window like the Aorus or Strix?

Don't know? My EVGA 1080Ti Black is same size as reference. Most GPU vertical mounts are only 2 wide and I've seen a Asus Strix in the H500p. Look at some videos on you tube. Maybe message chug he might know?

Awesomeness <tempted!>

I need to know does the H500p come with the GPU vertical mounting bracket? Also does the Thermaltake TT Gaming Riser Cable fit on the H500p? Does it come with the case?

Don't know??

Simon Belmont · 10 Oct 2017 at 08:15

Just ask someone at Kitguru and the GPU vertical mounting bracket with riser cable doesn't come with the case. That's not good imho. This is a big feature of the case. Why not included it?

@ChugNorris do you have any info on the bracket and riser cable. Thanks

Huggie86 · 10 Oct 2017 at 09:00

I would also like to know about the riser cables and bracket. So would a 1080ti Strix fit vertical then?

Massive feature for me, that’s the best bit of a card air or water cooled

I saw a few videos on YouTube that show a Asus Strix vertical in the H500p. Take a look. It seems to fit

Cooler Master. WTF Happened?

Cancelling my pre-order. H500p is 2 to 4 weeks away. I need a case next week. After that review I'm looking at something else.

Simon Belmont · 10 Oct 2017 at 15:15

Toms review is like the total opposite. He loves it. I read a few other reviews and most are saying the same thing like Gamer Nexus as said. H500p is cheap build quality. If It was out today for sale I might still get it, but it's still 4 weeks away from release. Can't wait. Looking elsewhere

I just cancelled my order. Bummer

Sounds cheap and nasty build quality, what a shame.
