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)

As the title says, I am in love with this case. I suppose I should go into a bit more detail :) Build quality is solid and feels very nice. For a small form factor case, it is shockingly easy to build in and can fit basically anything you want to fit in it within reason. Fits my 3090 and Im about to install an Arctic 280 AiO. Ill update the review if it doesnt fit, but Ive seen many other people saying that it does fit. Most of the screws that you will need to work with to disassemble the case are the exact same screw, so theres no need to worry about forgetting which goes where. This is an especially nice feature. Temps are superb. Im currently using a Noctua NH-L9A for the CPU (until the Arctic 280 gets installed) and Prime95 couldnt get the CPU past the 60s with two top Arctic P12s as exhaust. My SG-13 was a sweltering 85+ with the same cooler and a single front intake. Oh yeah, and the case looks really nice. Thats subjective I suppose, but I reckon most people will agree. Thats all for now. If youre on the fence, just buy the dang case already.

Review is for Black, standard version of the NR200 SFF (no riser cable, no windowed side panel) I was looking for a compact case with room to run a long 3 fan 2070 card. This case worked nicely, was easy to build in, and had some decent cable management options built in (like little tie tabs along the framework of the case to tie off to, and velcro straps under the PSU). Other thoughtful features are there are two positions for the PSU bracket, if you are using a standard SFX, or an SFX-L. The side and front covers come off without tools, but theyre nice and tight until youre ready to pop them off. The top and bottom covers come off easily as well, but are secured with one screw each. The only conflict I ran into with this case is I used an NZXT Kraken X63 280mm AIO cooler -(RL-KRX63-01) and the radiator doesnt actually fit inside the side mounted radiator bracket. The bracket bolt pattern allows for 280MM radiators, but the top and bottom edges of the bracket are bent at 90 degree angles and the resulting opening is slightly smaller than the Kracken 280 radiators top to bottom dimension. I had to spread the brackets folded sheetmetal edges back a bit on the top and bottom to squeeze the cooler in place, the solution was not elegant, but it allowed the cooler to fit. This 280 cooler also barely fit with-wise within the opening of the cases frame, but it worked so long as the cooling lines were positioned to be on the hing side of the bracket (and not the side that the bracket bolts to the case-frame). Biggest negative for me was the thinner sheetmetal where the motherboard actually bolts into, the tray has a nice big cutout on the back to access cooler backplates, but the but the thinness of the metal, plus the big opening makes the motherboard tray flex more than any other case I can remember building in. Not a deal breaker, and shouldnt make a difference once the machine is assembled, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, the case is pretty heavy for its size. I was planning to buy one of the windowed versions of this case as well, but they sold out early.

Love the case. Big fan of the NR200 line and not the first one Ive built in. The case does not feel cheap in any way and I had plenty of cooling space to fit an 12900k with a kraken x52 with 6 fans, 2 NVMe drives and 2 SSDs along with an EVGA RTX 3070 XC. I docked 1 star because the issue that almost had me return the case was the riser cable. When I plugged my GPU through the riser cable, my computer system would slow down after a few minutes to the point of stutter when the doing simple web browsing. When lauching a video game the render latency was extremly high and would only run at 15-20 FPS. Event viewer would show error Component: PCI Express Root Port, Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express). Eventualy the PC would crash and restart. I had to remove the riser cable from the equation in order for this issue to be resolved so now I have a usless part I paid for laying around (the cable isnt even straight and it puts your GPU in an uneven position) It felt like it was putting unecessary stress on the Mobos and GPUs PCIe connectors. The PCIe gen 3 fix in bios did not fix this issue. Because of this I had to completly re orient my cooling setup to what you see in the second picture. I docked another star because now I cant use the glass panel with the AIO radiator mounted on the side. The other issue I have is with the buttons on the front. The top panel sits flush with the case but the power button has to be pressed extremely hard for them to click the buttons in the circuit board below. The same goes for the reset button. It looks like the front circuit board is mounted a little too low for the buttons to travel down properly to make conact. Not a deal breaker but still irksome. All in all I love the first NR200 I bought in white but that one didnt come with a riser cable or the nuisance that comes with it. This one is still a good value if youre willing to overlook those issues. My advice would be to just get the base model and avoid the issues the come with the riser cable. Edit: Reached out directly to Coolermaster and they were kind enough to send me a replacement riser cable. The one that came in the box had a purple ribbon on it. The replacement was all black, not sure if thats a different Gen but I tried the cable and the frame rate issue/crashes persisted

Its so easy to do a build in this case. It looks amazing. Keeps the dust out really well. You can fit full-sized cards in it. Highly recommend.

Really love this case. It was super easy to build in and the AIO and power supply so far have been working really well. I love that the power supply comes with custom cables that fit perfectly, so there is really minimal extra slack in the case. I changed out the top two fans with better thermaltake ones, which was really easy as the entire case comes apart really easily. Temperatures are also really good with my 7900X and 3080ti. They never go above mid 70s gaming with an optimal fan curve, hardly any noise at all. I cant recommend this case enough for anybody looking to get into SFF PCs

I purchased this case and coolermaster psu + Corsair water cooler. I wish I purchased the nr200 max. I failed to notice that this case doesn’t allow top mounting of the radiator. But I don’t want to return everything. I lay the pc on its side to have the radiator above the pump. And getting custom length cables from pslate customs. I’m sure I could have avoided this by getting the Nr200 max. Edit: ended up returning this and got the nr200 max. Couldn’t be happier. Only down side is that the pump is making a small noises unlike the Corsair aio

This case though small in size will still fit a decent size cpu cooler and the case design is well ventilated.

So far I only have my fans and power supply in and I love this case. Super easy so far well see when I get to the GPU.

This is case is structurally very solid. The front faceplate is built like a hood on a 60’s Buick. I was also able to fit a Power Color 6700XT Hellhound 3-fan card in this thing! Where it comes up short are things like the vertical GPU mount that they stamp out poorly and use in every case from that manufacturer. What happens is your GPU sits crooked and it looks funny. Also the magnets aren’t strong enough to hold the dust filters to the case so they fall off just sitting there. The metal used where holes are pre-tapped is thin and poor quality so it’s very easy to pull the threads out if you remove screws a couple times or aren’t careful. The next bit could be a real problem for some.. The riser cable which I understand to be Gen 4 capable does not function with MB bios set to “AUTO” or “Gen 4” so I had to pop a Gen 3 limited card in so that I could get into the bios and manually set the board to “Gen 3”. This would require most users to disassemble the pc to do. So I recommend testing the riser before assembly and setting the Pcie slot to “Gen 3” if needed or just slotting the card in and doing that regardless. Kind of disappointing spending all of this money on a new case MB, CPU & GPU and having that one part negate half the reason for spending all of the money, especially considering the cost of this case being quite high. Id also like to note I have a test bench that I tested this riser on as well and was unable to get it to work unless I manually set the bios to Gen 3 prior to using the riser. So that tells me it’s an issue with the riser. Would I recommend this case to a friend? Yeah, I think I would. It’s not terrible, it’s not great but it is fairly good overall. I would however recommend waiting for a sale.

Its definitely bigger than my previous Dan Case A4 V4 but I like the ease of having better cooling capabilities and a layout optimal for Founder NVIDIA cards that blow through the heatsink.
