Cooler Master HAF 932

[Swanie]

Well i got mine also on Friday and must say i am very happy, had a Cosmos S, The HAF keeps my parts much cooler and fans are quiet. The fan screws can be removed with a Allen key.

[karl_eller]

Anyone that has one of these, can you confirm that it'll fit a 160mm tall heatsink (eg TRUE, Xigmatek S1283/1284, etc) with the side fan still on? I'd be fairly surprised if it couldn't, but I'd rather be safe than sorry

It should fit because I have a CM Hyper 212 in a CM 690 case. The HAF 932 is much bigger than the CM 690.

[LuckyNV]

well actually you can't fit tall heatsinks and use the CPU fan mount on the CM690, but the HAF-932 is different because its wider and the side fan is positioned lower.

Basically no problem

[OdinEidolon]

i cant fit my hdt-1283 in my 690 with the fan on, but i'm quite sure that on the 932 it is possible

[miptzi]

well, those who already got the case, start posting PICS!!!!!!!!

Still waiting on WCing parts so i'm going to be a week or two before I get mine started. I can say that the 932 is about 2in wider than my 690.

Mine has Arrived, and its almost build, no build log as I am gonna strip it and powder coat the insides later on!
but in saying that, the HAF 932 is one of the best cases I have ever seen! its better then my TJ-07 by far in function, I can WC without losing HDD bays!!
Overall if your thinking about this case...... BUY IT!!

[tekjunkie]

I am seriously thinking about ditching my V2110b for this one.On my V2110b, there was no cable management feature and the air flow inside the case is abysmal to say the least(E8600 @ stock volts and speed went all the way to 75C during burn test with a true with fans in push/pull). For 24/7 and a decent OC(4.2) on my E8600 I had to open the side panel and keep it running
that way. The problem is I don't know what I would do with my v2110b.

Can't wait to see it. Pics please. I want this case but want black internal paint. Also I want to see the WC mounting. :p

PPC say they can powder coat almost any case and I was planning to buy this case from PPC powercoated in black myself. It's a bit expensive though($199 for powder coating). I would also like to see some pictures with WC.

[tekjunkie]

Can anybody please confirm that the hole spacing on the top of the case is consistent with the PA 120.3 or the Feser 360 hole spacing??

EDIT: NVM, I found out from here that it does not without drilling the case(Atleast for the PA 120.3 and I guess the Feser also has the same spacing).Ah well, I think I would have to suck it up and drill the holes or probably live with a MCR320 or simliar.

feser is 15mm, thermochill is 24.5mm

I know for a fact the BIX III fits in there and i'd assume the MCR320 would as well.

Hi guys....so whats the veredict? Is this better than the CM 830? I am trying to decide between a local selling me a 830 with 2 extra HDD cages and all the fans replaced with the LED versions for $150 or the 932...help please.

The 830 is going to have an overall better build quality however, I would prefer the HAF due to ease of radiator placement and looks. Air flow in HAF would also be higher and fans it quieter.

Sorry I actually meant the CM 830....same opinion?

[iRRegular]

I'm also thinking about getting HAF, because of not really high price and considerably good quality. But i'm using WC and I saw there is a place at the top to install radiator for WC, but is this only 240 versions or also 360 versions? Because i'm using 3x120 one and I want to be sure before i buy the case.

It'll fit a 120.3 rad in the top. There is another fan mount a little bit further along, and it has vents underneath the top cover. But it'll only fit radiators with the mounting spacing as Black Ice and Swiftech radiators (ie no spaces between the fans).

[iRRegular]

How is then with airflow of the third vent? Isn't it very poor? I have Nexxxos 360 Extreme, do you have any idea if it'll fit?

[shaolin95]

So it seems that if I want to WC then this will be a better choice than the 830 correct?

Check out the link that I provided in my post to NCIX forums. This person has mounted a PA 120.3 up top with push/pull fans. But then he had to drill holes to make it fit.He had said in that forum the review would be up in hardwarecanuks soon.

Hmm, doesn't the Black Ice have 15mm spacing as well.If yes, I guess that would mean that the Feser might fit too.

Hope this isn't forbidden by Petras but it's just to show the fan hole difference. Note the fan screw hole placement in the center. There is a bigger gap between the front and rear fan on the TC. I looked at a Feser rad and it appears to have the same spacing as the Swiftech and BIX rads.
