Cooler Master NR200P MAX SFF Small Form Factor Mini-ITX Case, Custom 280mm AIO, 850W SFX Gold PSU, Triple-slot Vertical Mount GPU, PCIe Gen4 Riser, Tempered Glass or Vented Panel (NR200P-MCNN85-SL0)

The CM NR200p max is a good system. I’ve been looking to build a SFF system for over a year now. I finally decided to build one since I’ve been using the MSI TridentX2 (beast of a gaming PC). For anyone thinking twice about this PC, you should get it. I will say that if you never built a PC or don’t like tweaking things multipolar times, you may find building a PC like this stressful. But I can say it really isn’t stressful at all. The AIO in this system is top notch, the PSU is good even enough for the 40 series and we’ll constructed SFF. My specs I have a MSI Z790i edge Wi-Fi motherboard 6000 TridentZ ram 32gb Two CoolerMaster Halo2 gen 2 140mm fans( replaced radiator 140mm) Intel i7-13700k Two Noctua 120mm 15s for bottom intake fans When I first built the PC the temps were my biggest concerns especially for a SFF like this. However after tweaking and watching a few YouTube videos, I was able to get the i7-13700k under good temps. When I first stated I was getting 70-80c when gaming but nothing over 80c. You definitely need to undervolt the i7 it runs hot. To do this, you can simply go into your bios and if your motherboard supports it, use CPU lite load. It’s one of the easiest ways to undervolt. I think everyone starts at default(mode 9). The pc will most likely throttle when running stress test. I switched mine to mode 2(CPU lite load) and one other thing, you must use an aggressive fan tuning. If you have good fans, you won’t hear much when the fans are ramped up a bit.I have attached a photo of my fan curves. Also I can use the mesh or tempered glass with this unit. TG gives me 1-2c temps more but due to my bottom 2 noctua fans and my fan curves I get great temps while gaming. Also when doing regular computer task. Keep in mind, it all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish with your PC build. But if you plan on gaming, web browsing, school work, YouTube or nothing like streaming or 4k editing you should be just find. I did not test the system for 4k editing or streaming but I’m sure the PC would run hotter as those events add more stress to the PC. Just YouTube and you will find how to fine tune your build based on your needs and you should be just fine. For me, this is a great little PC with good cooking exactly what I needed for my needs.

This case is the best ITX case by a huge measure out of the four Ive owned. Highly customizable, fits a full size RTX 4070 ti, and used a bracket for HD for mounting my CPU radiator for blowing directly out the side of the case. Would recommend highly.

Amazing case, first micro build. Couldn’t be happier with this product.

White NR200P with gen3 riser and glass panel With the mesh panel, the NR200 looks sleek, modern, and clean, perfect for a home office. If you fit the glass panel you can bling out the case with LEDs, logos, and tubing to make it the center of attention, which might be desirable for gamers. The power LED is a pleasant white, not a super bright blue. The method of attachment for the side panels is far superior to thumbscrews; It has easy to use metal pins on the panels that secure them to the case. You have the option of securing the side panels to the case with screws, although if the case is in a private area that is not necessary. Cons: If you use a vertical GPU with a waterblock, the terminals of the waterblock will most likely prevent you from installing at least one of the top fans because the case doesnt have enough vertical space. There isnt much space behind the motherboard tray for routing cables that are not thin. The included 2 120mm fans started to develop a loud rattle and I had to take them out. The product pages for the CM fans never outright say sleeve bearing (they always say sealed long life bearing) but I suspect that they are sleeves and unfortunately their noise made them unbearable. I used them on the top of the case where they laid flat, which sleeve bearing fans always hate. You may be able to get more mileage out of the fans if you mount them to the side panel so that they are standing up.

Cable management is difficult, especially for a first time mini itx build.. What else can I say? I managed to squeeze and 3090ti Fe inside.

I purchased this case with the intent to downsize from a full tower NZXT Phantom. For those who want an estimate on the size difference, this case is roughly 1/4 the volume of the NZXT case mentioned above. The effort towards building in this case was a tedious and extensive process. I ended up using EVERY feature on this case such as the side mount GPU bracket for an extra USB card and fitting a m.2 to PCIe x4 adapter on the bottom slot for a capture card. I even managed an EK AIO 240 as well into this case! After all of that, I have never had a smoother and cooler system despite the size of the case. Pros: 1. Up to 5 expansion slots (2 slots are optional for side mounted for GPUs) 2. 5 side venting 3. 3 magnetic dust filters and fine pitch top grate 4. AIO liquid cooling mounting bracket 5. Compatible with triple(3) slotted GPUs 6. Simple yet effective design Cons: 1. Difficult to build in 2. Spacing between back of front panel and PSU slightly too short for larger HDDs (It could really expand on the ability of this if it had that extra 2 mm) 3. Easy SSD mount screws dont seem to fit the threading of some older SSDs?(not confirmed) Conclusion: TLDR: The quick fast easy answer to this is that this case is amazing but its hard to build in. I would not suggest anyone get this case unless they either have very little going into their system or they have an expert they can call to assemble this system. Assembly Notes: This case provided a large amount of different screws mostly all in the same thread, size and type. It also comes with two different size fans, two fan grills, and a handful of zip ties for cable management. I ended up using every feature of this case I could and still had quite a few parts left over in case I were to lose something in the future. If you are one who wants to use the AIO Cooler features of this case a note, I had to flip my case on its side to make sure the pump pushed all of the air bubbles to the reservoir before setting it on its feet again. You technically cannot mount a large HDD in this with a 240mm radiator as well. Final Thoughts: I absolutely love this case for everything I managed to fit into it. If you or a build expert you may know are up for the challenge, its a really fun but tedious build. The end results are worth it as far as cooling and size goes. I strongly recommend this case.

You can feel the heat on the case even when idle. I can only imagine what a 5L case would feel like.

NR200 is a solid sff case and anyone whos built in it can vouch for it. Nothing else more to really say other than the case can fit a lot of high-profile air coolers and often times performs better than most 280mm AIO setups in a sff like this. My only complaint is that the cases top lid came with a missing screw and notch, so it doesnt securely snap on and stay on as well as it should. Also on the left side panel, the magnetic mesh filter thats on the inside was bent. You can clearly see that it was either folded in half somehow or maybe smushed in, because theres a vivid streak straight down the middle. Other than doing some more QC, CoolerMaster case doesnt disappoint.

This kit was basically exactly what I wanted - a SFF case in the color that I wanted that can fit modern GPUs and with the PSU and AIO cooler already installed to make building very hassle free. I have no complaints with the case itself - it is good quality, looks good, the gray version to me looks like a more premium product than a typical black or white plastic case, easy to build in considering how small it is. The problem that ruins the whole package is the AIO cooler that it comes with. The fans themselves could stand to be more quiet - they are definietly noticeable even when just idling in windows. I could have lived with that though if it werent for the fact that when you start doing something more CPU intensive like gaming it starts making an annoying knocking noise. Maybe I just got a defective unit, but I wasnt going to bother trying another one, and I wasnt going to bother trying to replace the AIO cooler with a different brand since it is basically retrofitted to the case with longer than normal tubes. So I ended up returning it, I got a torrent nano case with a Noctua Air Cooler and it is a much quieter system. When idling in windows I cant hear the fans at all and even when gaming the fans arent very noticeable. I am still disapointed, because I still like the cooler master case better than the torrent nano, but the AIO Cooler that it comes with completely ruined it Also one minor complaint - for the price this case should have a front panel connector for USB-C

At close to half the price of other SFF cases, its simple design and small disappointments like a lack of front USB-C can be looked past. Nowadays considered large for the SFF market, it works in favour of air-cooled builds, allowing room for plenty of larger (but not the largest) coolers. The mostly-mesh design lends itself well for something sleek and simple, get the NR200P with the glass side panel if you want to go with more eye-candy. The roomier internals also give you more flexibility to work in, not as easy as a full ATX case, but definitely on the comfortable side for mITX.
