Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 Computer Case Review @ APH Networks

APH Networks praised the MasterFrame 600 as a modular, premium mid-tower case that delivers both aesthetic appeal and strong functional design. It supports a broad range of motherboard sizes from Mini-ITX up to conditional E-ATX or SSI-CEB, and allows for large graphics cards and substantial thermal hardware. The case includes strong build materials like steel, aluminum, and tempered glass, with magnetic panels for easy removal. Front-panel cooling is well thought out, and the black version includes high-quality non-ARGB Mobius fans, while the silver version swaps in ARGB SickleFlow fans for visual flair. There is ample clearance for CPU coolers, radiators, and long GPUs, and the case includes flexible mounting points and cable routing features such as rear space and rubber grommets to help tidy up the internals.

"The MasterFrame 600 is Cooler Master's first modern attempt of a modular computer case, but it comes with several growing pains for the designers to improve upon."

That said, there are compromises that reflect its price and design ambitions. Cable management behind the motherboard tray is generous but can be challenging given certain layout choices, such as tight openings and limited mounting hooks. The power supply mounts high, requiring careful handling during installation. Noise levels remain reasonable, especially at lower fan speeds, but high airflow demands will naturally push noise upward. The case lacks some premium tool-free conveniences and might be overkill for simpler builds. Overall, APH Networks found that the MasterFrame 600 offers excellent value for users who want a stylish, modular case capable of high performance and flexible cooling, provided they accept its few trade-offs in convenience and layout.
