Hardware Canucks : October 2009


Cooler Master is on a roll. In the recent while they have released some great new cases that appeal to many different tastes and a few that really cater to the enthusiast. The HAF 932 made headlines with it's exceptional cooling, attractive styling and reasonable price tag.

Like it's big brother the HAF 932, the Cooler Master HAF 922 Case has the same military theme, great styling, excellent build quality, lots of fans, plenty of drive bays and much more.

» Details



TechSpot : October 2009


In a nutshell, the positive aspects of the Cooler Master HAF 922 include its massive top and rear 200mm fans, flexible fan installation options, sturdy design, motherboard retaining hole, cable management system, plenty of expansion, and the overall level of quality.

hi-techreviews.com : October 2009


The HAF 932 is the ideal chassis for anyone that is looking for a case with outstanding air moving capabilities and even though it may move more air than any chassis on the market it is designed in such a way as to be able to do it with while being barely audible thanks to high volume low speed fans used throughout the case.

Best Award

nokytech.net : October 2009


It was difficult to choose a winner, but we can say that some details gave this victory to the HAF 922.But these two chassis are quite similar and maybe the design will be the main factor of choice.

UMLAN : September 2009


Coolermaster did a great job of welcoming me to the computer building world with this great case! The massive fans on this thing keep my system cool all day long. There was plenty of room to work in and I never once felt cramped putting together this build. The case has all the features I would expect a case to have. The hard drive bays are particularly awesome to use, as instalilng a new hard disk is effortless. I love the rugged way this case looks, and the way that it doesn't "over do" the LED fan lights like some other cases do.

geeksmack.net : September 2009


This case is nothing short of amazing, and I am really not surprised by its stellar performance.  Installation of hardware was a breeze, and the higher airflow and increased space helped bring down the temperatures of the test system by an average of 10C which classifies as amazing in my book no matter how you look at it.  I really would recommend this case to anyone who is looking for a mid-tower case to house the latest and greatest components.

overclock3d.net : September 2009


I'm struggling with this one as the 922 hasn't exactly had the easiest start in life, trying to live up to the standards of its bigger brother the 932. You cant argue with the test results this case really did a great job of keeping the test set up cool.

Clunk.org.uk : September 2009


Overall the case has been a pleasure to work with, the design and quality is good and it's nice to see features such as the tool-less drive fitting migrating from the top end cases.
The spacious interior allows for excellent cable management which is enhanced by the protrusions in the side panels.
Cooling is great with plenty of additional options for the user to explore, as seen in the testing, the standard fan configuration can be improved upon with a little experimentation.

hexus.net : July 2009


The Cooler Master HAF 922 is a solid, no-nonsense chassis that's aimed at the user who requires a sub-100pounds case which focuses on airflow and ease of installation.
Smaller than the HAF 932 but no worse off for it for most users, cooling performance, once the ambient temperature has been accounted for, is reasonably similar to other chassis in the same pricing space. Fan flexibility is another positive point, and the spacious interior provides adequate area to position a water-cooling radiator without any problems.”

neoseeker.com : July 2009


I expected the 922 HAF to have good heat dissipation results, so its outstanding thermal performance only made it sweeter. I had also fully expected it to be another noisy case, but was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it really was.

bjorn3d.com : July 2009


Cooler Master really wraps the HAF922 up with its warranty. With a two year limited warranty, the HAF922 has a pretty good warranty for a case. The case includes everything you need, including a manual in case you're a new user. Overall, the Cooler Master HAF922 is of the up most quality, has an excellent price, and is one of the best air flow cases I have ever seen.

motherboards.org : July 2009


Despite the fact that the case arrived damaged during shipping, I completed the review on a positive note. The case offers excellent cooling with up to 7 fans on a mid-tower case. Cooler Master has taken nearly everything into account with the HAF 922 Mid Tower case including water cooling, long video cards, proper wire management and a really interesting look. The case had plenty of room to work with and a hole for the CPU mounting bracket, allowing for removal of the CPU without removing the motherboard. Cooler Master has a Hot Product with this case due to all of these factors with the only negative being short feet.

techarkade.com : July 2009


I really enjoy using this case. The cooling is better than my previous case as it offers more fans and airflow and the aesthetics just look plain cool. It barely fits on my desk as a mid-tower case but still falls happily in that category. With the option of a large, 230 mm fan on the side, I plan to add one soon to increase airflow. Additionally, the durability of this case is amazing and looks like it will hold up for years to come.

pureoverclock.com : July 2009


Cooler Master has really served notice with the HAF 922, proving that a mid-tower case can offer premium features, excellent quality, a ready-made water cooling setup that won't require any modding, and a spacious layout that shames many full towers we've seen. The icing on the cake here is that the price tag is extremely attractive, leaving us with the feeling that the HAF 922 is probably the only mid-tower case we've seen that could make a full tower setup seem unnecessary. Indeed, the Cooler Master HAF 922 is one of the very best mid-tower cases you'll find on the market.

» Details



techwarelabs.com : July 2009


The HAF922 has plenty of air flow with its factory supplied case fans, but if one wants to add another case fan later, there is room on the side panel for a 200mm fan. The price point for the HAF922 being less than the HAF932 is attractive to consumers wanting to get their hands on a high airflow case, but can’t afford the HAF932. So, if you put aside the two design points we listed, the HAF 922 is quite a solid case with plenty to offer. TechwareLabs would like to thank Cooler Master for sending us the HAF 922 case as it is truely a work of art that we would approve of for anyone

PCWizKid's Tech Talk : July 2009


PCWizKid tried hard to find flaws with the HAF 922 mid tower, but there isn't much to complain about. This is a terrific starter case for a gaming rig.  With plenty of room and airflow the design, quality and features of Cooler Master HAF series cases once again makes it a PCWizKid Recommended product. As seen in the video review the aggressive looks and functionality gives hard core gamers the ability to install multiple GPU's, CPU cooling and overclock taking their rig to the next level. The cooling options are positioned in the right spots for keeping components cool and the inside fresh. The inside support for cable management is excellent. If your looking for a case that's not to big or too small, this one will fit your budget and your needs.

tweakpc.de : July 2009


Given the attractive price we favor the HAF 922 is minimal against the HAF 932 and give it 5.9 points and excellent addition to our Cooling Award. The HAF 922 looks at the casing 100 euros currently surely his peers. Comparable housing is either not offer the same amenities or are rapidly more expensive. Some also smaller with 4-5 fans unnecessarily crowded and loud. Or they are in our eyes, perhaps simply functional but ugly. One fact led us, the HAF 922 our Editors Choice status.

cowcotland.com : July 2009


Cooler Master gives us yet another good case. This has everything it takes to make you happy, except maybe the filters. It is also silent on the Storm Guard, screwless mounting of graphics cards and expansion slots ventilated, but otherwise everything is there.

Gaming Shogun : July 2009


The Cooler Master HAF series has yet to disappoint: solid, heavy-duty construction along with the little details that make the cases so well thought out. For its price-point, I cannot recommend a better mid-tower case plain and simple.

Gamer Reactor : July 2009


Thanks to Cooler Master for a good product and that ensures us gamers more enjoyable entertainment as we know that the "inventory" in the PC has it good! 10/10

Must Have

modders-inc.com : July 2009


This case is a solid performer with plenty of features that make it great. There are lots of little things I didn't have time to touch on like washable plastic filters in the front mesh bezels and a front e-sata port. A switch that turns of an on the light in the front LED fan. These are little details but added with the tooless design,ease of use, and the High Air flow design make this case an exceptional deal for the price point. I would have no problems in recommending this case to anyone.

overclockersclub.com : July 2009


Overall, I highly recommend this case for anyone looking to start a new build and wants a quality case able to deliver the right amount of performance and satisfaction. The HAF 922 has followed in the footsteps of its big brother, the HAF932, with a sound design, excellent airfow and rugged good looks.

tweaktown.com : July 2009


I would like to say at this point it has been a real pleasure working inside the HAF 922. There are no sharp edges to worry about, there is an abundance of included user friendly features, and the HAF 922 does provide very adequate airflow as CoolerMaster ships it and there is no real need for extra fans in my opinion. The HAF 922 also has a love it or hate it look, as does the 933; but I personally find this 922 to be a tad less industrial looking, yet still offering most of the benefits of the HAF 922’s bigger brother.

xcpus.com : July 2009


It seems that Cooler Master has done it again and brought another excellent choice to the mid-tower chassis market, worthy of its place. Differentiating itself from the similarly priced Storm Scout, the HAF 922 brings to the table a water cooling heritage and the raw rugged look of the HAF series. While it seems the HAF 922 is less refined than some of the popular Cooler Master cases, it also seems that Cooler Master had the market in mind when creating a case to fill the mid-tower demand at a relatively low price point. MSRP of the HAF 922 is $129.99 and accessories (such as a third 200mm fan if you so desire) can be found at the Cooler Master store. Similar to eVGA's "B-Stock," Cooler Master has a refurb section with some great deals, so keep an eye on that to pick up an inexpensive power supply or cooler.

bigbruin.com : July 2009


The Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower case is an excellent choice for gamers, enthusiasts, or anybody who wants to have a great looking case while also keeping their components cool. Installing components is nearly tool-less, and the only time you will need any tools will be when you mount your motherboard and power supply. The large fans will keep your system running cool while keeping the noise level to a minimum.

lanoc.org : July 2009


I wasn’t surprised one bit when I had everything setup and computer never heated up. The HAF is designed to force as much air into the case as possible, keeping everything ice cold. What did surprise me though was the noise level; it wasn’t dead silent like the Sileo 500 that I reviewed not long ago. However, considering the open-air design and amount of fans the case was very livable. Infact, having reviewed the Twelve Hundred and the Nine Hundred in the past there is no doubt that it is quieter.

With the HAF 922, Cooler Master has delivered a great product in a smaller size without losing any key features. You still get great cooling and the tool free design of the HAF 932 but in a smaller package.

pro-clockers.com : July 2009


The HAF 922 is a shiny example of what many people want in a mid-sized gaming case. It has rugged good looks that we saw evidence of in the HAF 932. But unlike the 932 the 922 is lighter and a little shorter. The size is right up my alley as I am not a big fan of very tall cases except for maybe the ATCS 840.
oolless drive installation, ability to turn the LED off on the front 200mm fan, extra vertical PCI slot and the large amounts of room are just a few of the features that we have been raving about in the lab.

techgage.com : July 2009


Mid-tower cases have seemingly always had to sacrifice in one area to make up for others. If you got one with good airflow, then it often lacked in space. If space was good it would then have issues with wiring. If those two areas were good then you just couldn't fit that oversized heat sink and the side panel fan. There was no way to please all of our desires.

PC world.fr mathbe : July 2009


"Cooler Master is one of the biggest names of the chassis market. Recently, the company is very active and is on the way to take the leadership on its direct rivals. Antec continues selling nice volumes of chassis but we can’t say that there is a lot of new models”

Is this case HAF 922 as high as HAF 932? Answer is obvious: yes. And it has nothing unexpected as seen as the last chassis taken out by Cooler Master these last years. At each new model, it is blow winning on blow winning for the Taiwanese company”.

Hardware Logic : July 2009


Overall, the HAF mini is an exceptional mid-tower case that is full of many features that many computer enthusiasts desire in a case. The black exterior provides a sexy yet rugged appeal. The quick tool-less installation for nearly every component made installation a snap. Holding true to the series name (High Air Flow), the HAF 922 blows away most mid-towers with excellent fan options. And, finally, in these times of economic uncertainty, the HAF 922 should be a decent bang-for-buck option as we expect it to be about $40 less than the HAF 932. Kudos to Cooler Master on designing another top notch case.

Following the success of the full tower HAF 932, Cooler Master has now successfully extended their product line to a mid tower with the HAF 922. It has a strong appearance and I think they did a good job on the HAF 922. The open design of the HAF line makes for nice air flow throughout the case. The space also made it easy to work in the case; I have rather large hands and I had no issues working in the HAF 922 at all.

Hardware upgrade : July 2009


Cooler Master HAF 922 is offered at a price of 99 Euro, including VAT. This is a rather attractive price in relation to the characteristics that the product offering in the light of good quality construction that the solution has been able to show in review.

Cooler Master really seemed to listen to its customers on the HAF 922 design by responding with improvements in most areas that the larger HAF 932 lacked in. Cable management is one area of improvement, here you have many places to run cables behind the motherboard tray and built in spots for cable ties that really helps to clean up the case internals.  Tool less design is very important when it makes sense the lack of tool less clips for expansion cards is a huge bonus in our book.

Hitech legion : November 1999


The HAF 922 performed very well. The HAF 922 was easy to build in and at full load the temperatures in the case only rose to two degrees. Now the HAF 922 may not have been the quietest case I have ever tested, but for as many large fans that it has placed in it, it ran with very little noise coming from the case.

» Details



alienbabeltech.com : November 1999


The HAF 922 was designed with gamers and overclockers in mind. The High Air Flow design lives up to its name and will meet your cooling needs. Its customizability and functionality is on par with higher-priced cases which makes for a great value.
