Cooler Master Elite 500
Elite 500 is a basic solution for optimal cooling. Significant ventilation on the front panel allows the flow of fresh air to the system in both air-cooled configurations and liquid. For simple tasks, Elite 500 is an economical solution for professional data processing. In case of more demanding tasks, Elite 500 can boast high compatibility with updates, can accommodate liquid cooling and provides space for the longest and widest graphics cards.
Version with/without ODD
Depending on your preferences, a version of the ODD-operated housing is available. If the optical drive is not preferred, cleaner appearance and more cooling options can be obtained on the top and front panels. The Elite 500 version with ODD drive is slightly deeper compared to its equivalent without ODD drive.
Versatile cooling options
The operation of up to six fans and the front, top and rear radiator covers ensure that performance is not reduced. Up to three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans can be mounted on the front. The rear supports one 120 mm fan. Filtered ventilation on the upper panel supports up to two 120 mm or two 140 mm fans. On the front panel is a very large, unlimited inlet grill, which provides excellent air flow to the system.
Breathable power supply cover
The cover of the power supply is ventilated from the top, allowing the installation of actively cooled units with fan pointing upwards or downwards, as well as the installation of passive cooling power supplies.
Expanding capabilities
Supporting a graphics card with a maximum length of 350 mm (400 mm in ODD version), 161-millimeter processor cooling and multiple fan/radiator locations provides room for modernization so as not to fall behind.
Headset socket - jack
A single 4-pin headset socket allows simultaneous use of audio and microphone functions, so no separate sockets are needed.
Universal hard drive cage
The cage for hard drives can be moved forward to make room for a longer power supply, backwards to get additional space for the radiator, or completely removed if space for hard drives is not needed. The housing uses an exclusive toolless storage system from Cooler Master. Easy, fast and [...]
