Installation in the Cooler Master MasterFrame 360 Panorama Case
Getting things installed in the MasterFrame 360 Panorama is pretty straight-forward. The first thing we are going to install is going to be our motherboard. With quite a lot of room to work with, it goes in no problem.
After our motherboard it was time to install our all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. Typically with our case reviews we use an air cooler, but unfortunately this case only supports air coolers as tall as 145mm, which is quite short as Cooler Master’s own Hyper 212 3DHP Black ARGB is 158mm tall. Installing our liquid CPU cooler meant mounting the radiator to the top of the case and securing the pump block to our motherboard. With all the space we have inside the case this was quite easy.
After I installed the liquid CPU cooler I went to route some cables and I realized the the two cables for the front spotlights did not reach to the bottom of our motherboard. Luckily our motherboard has an ARGB connection towards the top, but if yours does not you’ll be unlikely to connect these.
You can remove the storage panel to easily install your drives outside of the case. With this panel removed we also installed our power supply which simply goes in from the back and is secured by four screws. With everything installed and the storage bracket put back in you can see there is a bit of a cable mess, but you can hide all of this with the two included covers.
The last thing to do is install our graphics card, which as I mentioned can only be installed vertically. Cooler does include the riser so you are covered there. There is also a GPU support bracket, I found if you remove it, install your graphics card, then reinstall it, it makes the process a whole lot easier. If you were wondering the case does support graphics cards as long as 430mm.
With everything installed I went ahead and placed my action figure in the front of the case. The action figure I had was not all that tall so I wish you were able to move the stage up. Powering on our system the two spotlights keep the action figure illuminated and if you have any RGB lighting inside your system it is going to be visible since we have glass on three sides.
