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)

This case is great. I have 3 of these in use and will likely purchase more. THE REBATE SYSTEM SUCKS. I received a $25 debit card for only one of them. The card will NOT activate on the provided website. Then they subtract $3.50 a month if it isnt used right away. It looks like Im out $75.

This case is great. You can fit a 3.5” hdd inside of here if you are mindful with your cable management. A little hard to see but the second pic was my 3.5” hdd configuration before I upgraded to an ssd.

After finishing my first mini itx build in this case I decided to plan a second build in another one of these cases.

Updated review: The front panel connectors come Presleeved allowing you to plug all 8 pins in at once instead of individually. This is great but I failed to check to see if the way they had their cable sleeved would line up with the pins on my motherboard. After several rebuilds I feel like an idiot cause I didn’t think of it. Make sure you check the way your cables are sleeved and check your motherboard manual and make sure the connections line up properly or you’ll probably spend a whole bunch of time trying to fix a computer blindly. Outside of that tedious issue, the case has been great so far I was able to fit a scythe fuma 2 inside however the hardrive tray/radiator bracket couldn’t be reinstalled. Thermals have been great mid 60s on an overclocked Ryzen 7 3700. Also with the fuma I was able to fit 2 full size 120mm fans at the top (artic p12s) and with a 2 slot gpu (5700xt) I was also able to fit 2 full size 120mm fans (also artic p12s) This was my first time building inside any itx case, outside of me not checking the front panel connectors it was really straight forward. Cable management is a little tough personally I would recommend custom cables that way it’s not as bulky as the stock cables you get in any power supply. I would also hugely recommend a modular power supply (like I have in the picture) so you only have the cables you need and it’s not a complete rats nest. Also zip ties or twist ties are your best friends, I see a lot of people build their computer and leave their cables all over the place don’t be that person.

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.

This is a really good value buy for anyone looking to build a SFF PC. The base NR200 comes with 1 120mm fan and 1 92mm fan, so exhaust is covered out of the box. Depending on how you plan to cool your CPU and GPU, you might want to consider another one of the Sickle 120mm fans from Cooler Master. The fans are good and dont sound too loud in my build with a 3700x and 2060. There are 7 spots for fans, 6 of which are 120mm. Three slots for the graphics card is forward thinking and means you could throw a real monster in here if you wanted. The PSU can either be mounted beside the motherboard or moved to the front. For owners of the ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming motherboard (like me), you will need the front location since the SATA ports will be blocked otherwise. Cooler Master did a good job giving options. This fits mini ITX motherboards (and DTX), but I dont think Micro Atx will fit. SATA drives can be mounted to the front panel of the case in a nifty compartment like a N1 or to the side mounting bracket or even the PSU bracket. It offers a fair amount of storage options. Overall, its rock solid. My only complaint is that the material is a little thin and flimsy, so Id like to see the manufacturing process improved in a revision of this. Id also like to see USB C on the front panel IO as an option for a revision. Tl;DR This probably replaces the Silverstone SG13 as the go to affordable SFF case.

Build quality is seriously great, Ive use may ATX cases in the past and it doesnt compare, this ITX case is fantastic the AIO/pre-wiring and power supply saves so much time.

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

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.

The NR200P Max is an outstanding design and a great successor to the NR200P. The back panel of the chassis has been completely redesigned and the case is entirely intended to be used with the included 280mm AIO Liquid Cooler and a vertically mounted GPU. Let me start by saying that it is nice to have an all inclusive purchase option from a reputable company like Cooler Master. They include a solid 280mm AIO (with fan grilles) and an 850W SFX power supply with custom length cabling. They also included a short PCIe 4.0 riser cable. Skipping the parts research step for an ITX build and some of the assembly is really nice for a lot of buyers. All you have to do is pick your CPU, board, RAM, storage, and GPU. Heres where it goes wrong. The current price is a full $130 higher than MSRP at launch. $459 seems to be the going rate right now on almost every store that sells this build kit. Even at retail prices for each item included, this is a poor value. To make matters worse, the case currently only comes in gray, and my example came straight out of the box with the paint worn off along the top front edge of the plastic top panel. The side panels are all metal and seem to be durably painted or powdercoated. I have no doubt Cooler Master will eventually sell this setup in other colors, and hopefully back the price down, as PC components are steadily decreasing in cost at the time of this review. The measurements of the side and front panels are the same as the NR200/NR200P, which gave me an idea. I bought a black base model NR200 and swapped out all of the black exterior parts onto my gray NR200P MAX. I reassembled the gray parts onto the base model NR200 chassis and threw that case up for sale, second hand. With the $459 price tag, I couldnt stick with the gray and be satisfied. The case itself is excellent. The near tool-less design is outstanding, and this case is easy to work inside compared to many other small form factor designs from their competitors. Cooler Master has a solid win here, QC and pricing notwithstanding. Having dabbled a little in SFF builds in the past several years, I want to express the lack of real benefit to most buyers for this style case, beyond operating temperatures. Most people would still be better off with a compact ATX or MATX case, either of which can certainly be built for less money. Tower style SFF cases, such as the NZXT H1 make a lot more sense for small form factor, if desk space savings is your aim. The footprint of the CM NR200 series still takes up a fair amount of room comparitively. Still, as mentioned, the thermals will be noticeably better here than with other designs. The NR200 would also make a great HTPC if you can manage its size, namely the height. Lets also talk about what this case is not. It is not an ultra-portable gaming machine. The included AIO and rock-solid chassis construction make this a little on the heavy side. This case is just too big to be ultra-portable. It probably isnt going in a backpack. Still, if moving a PC around is something you have to do, its still a much better option than any mATX or ATX case, especially if you ditch the included glass side panel. You can save some weight by shopping smart on your GPU (plastic shrouds win here), as well as going M.2 NVMe for storage. If you want a lighter build, you might also opt for the original NR200 paired with an air cooler. If youre looking for a portable gamer, look at the KXRORS S300 case, or anything from Velkase, if you dont mind paying a little more money. This system supposedly only supports 2.5 drives. At least thats what the listing led me to believe. However, upon unpacking my NR200 cases, I noticed some holes in the bottom panel that seemed very familiar. It turns out you can install a 3.5 hard drive on the bottom panel using the included grommets and studs. Youll lose a fan space by doing this, but it should be fine if youre not using the tempered glass side panel. As for M.2 vs SATA, I dont even see a reason to buy 2.5 drives because M.2 NVMe SSDs are currently so close in price. You will greatly eliminate unnecessary wiring by going with M.2 NVMe for storage. The included glass panel is worthless for a lot of builds, outside of low to mid-power setups where the CPU/GPU combo arent making a lot of heat anyway. Higher-end setups are going to turn the glass panel case setup into a toaster. Most folks opt to stay with the mesh side panel. If youre using RGB, take your time with the wiring, so you can avoid obstructing your fans. Remember that the vertically-mounted GPU obscures most of the fans and AIO pump from view. I considered using an LED strip to provide some RGB, beyond just the RAM and GPU accents, but the case interior leaves no real room for a strip, especially since all of the panels are snapped together to the chassis. In short, you might decide to save the coin and buy non-RGB components. Additionally youll need to use some thinner case fans on the bottom. If you dont already have fans to use, you might go to something low profile to avoid contact between the GPU riser cable and the fan housing. If vertical GPU orientation and liquid cooling arent important, or if you want a lightweight ITX build, stick with the base model NR200 and provide your own 850W SFX PSU. Youll certainly come out cheaper. If you want the NR200 with a relatively easy build experience and an AIO, this might be good option for you. In conclusion, Cooler Master has an outstanding formula here. They just need to come back down to Earth and give their customers what they want, at a more reasonable price, while making sure it goes out the door in new condition. This case has all of the other ingredients to be a 5-star Hall of Fame ITX case.
