Cooler Master HAF 912 Case Review

Inside the Cooler Master HAF 912

While the left side panel is fastened to the case using silver thumbscrews, the right panel is fastened using regular screws. This is another place where Cooler Master saved a bit in order to present a cost-effective case. In Figure 8, you have an overall look at the inside of the HAF 912. The motherboard tray has a big hole around the area where the CPU is installed, allowing access to the backplate of the CPU cooler, so you can replace the cooler without having to remove the motherboard. The motherboard tray also has several holes for you to route cables behind it. The motherboard tray doesn’t go all the way to the front panel, meaning that there is a communication between the area behind the disk drive bays and the back of the motherboard tray, allowing you to easily route and hide cables. The tray also has several clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties.

In Figure 10, you have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened to the case using regular screws. As already mentioned, the case may support a radiator with two 120 mm fans depending on the location and size of the motherboard components.

This case supports video cards up to 10.6” (270 mm) long, but if you remove the hard drive cage the case will support video cards up to 15.4” (390 mm) long. The HAF 912 supports CPU coolers up to 6.9” (175 mm) tall.

Note that the power supply can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply p
ulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. The HAF 912 supports power supplies up to 7.9” (200 mm) long.
