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)

Tons of room for a small form factor case. Small gripe with the side panel mesh filters not having a magnetic strip all the way around. The bottom intake filter has a magnet that goes all the way around, which imo should have been the same for the sides. The only real issue is a small paint chip in the side panel.

The quality of the case is top notch; airflow in this case is awesome; looks like something Apple would make. This is my first ground up computer build and this case has made it very simple. I have 5 case fans running in my build. To me this is the perfect size. its larger than the typical ITX case but smaller than a typical mATX case; basically right in the middle. seems to be standard for an ITX motherboard to have 2 NVME slots so the need for an SSD is more for if you want just extra storage. This case allows for 2 SSD mounted just behind the face plate and one 3.5 HDD which can be mounted on the PSU support. because of this cases size, I can mount a normal size (not a slim) optical drive on the bottom cover plate where a 120 mm fan would go. So on the bottom plate I have a single 120 mm fan vs 2, and I have a full sized internal optical drive. now the case is not designed to have an optical drive in it and that is ok. if you want access to the drive just pop off the front face plate, and you will have the full access. the lower opening in the in the front support bracket will allow for the DVD drive door to open without issue. I suspect that Cooler Master will come out with an optical drive version of this case soon as the opening I mentioned if it were only 2 mm wider would allow the optical drive body fit thru it. over all I would recommend this case. you could fit like I have 2 slim 120 mm fans at the top, 2 - 140 mm fans on the side bracket (one is mounted on the CPUs air cooler; NH-C14s), a single 120 mm fan on the bottom plate, a full sized internal optical drive on the bottom plate, a 92 mm fan on the back, on of those half sized graphics cards. even with all this still have room to fit a 3.5 HDD on the PSU support.

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.

This case is so popular its always out of stock. I finally got my hands on the NR200P and was excited to use the glass to show off my build a little. Ive never had a case with glass yet (its been a while). However, after doing a lot of research, I realized that all the great features of this case are only fully utilized when you dont use the glass side panel. Heres why: 1. When using the glass, you choke out your radiator if you mount it to the side bracket (obviously). So you have to bottom mount it and then vertical mount your GPU. The GPU does get better thermals than some other vertical mount cases, but it has still shown to hinder performance. 2. If youve seen the Gamers Nexus video on youtube, they specifically show how bottom mounting an AIO is a really bad idea. They also specifically use this case as an example. That was bummer for me as that was my entire plan. But I want my parts to last a really long time. 3. Then I thought that I would just do an air cooler. However, most of high performance CPU air coolers dont fit in this case. Any of the Noctua ones that do fit havent been released in black chromax yet and I dont want to go with their ugly brown. There are some decent air coolers that will fit, but I wasnt really excited about any of them. 4. The fact that your only option with the glass is the vertical mount the GPU kind of defeats the purpose as the graphics card will block off the rest of your build. So all the AIOs with cool pump headers cant be seen anyway. 5. This case lacks any back panels or spaces to hide cables, so all your management happens around the psu cage. Looks a little messy on the inside because of the small size imo. So if you dont care about the glass, this case is awesome. Its size, price, build, and thermals are really good. Cooler master really hit this one out of the park. You have great options with the vented side panel. I think the community has been waiting for something affordable like this for a long time. For me, aesthetics was something I really wanted to do, so I went with a Lian Li TU150 instead.

Overall, the case is very well built and easy to build in, which was great. One problem though - because of the design of the MAX version of the case, where theyve moved the motherboard down to fit in the top radiator, you are forced to use the riser cable to mount the GPU to the motherboard. No problem, I thought. If it goes bad, either Ill just replace it or Ill RMA the riser or something. Surely, Cooler Master has thought this through. (Spoiler: They didnt) Everything worked fine for awhile, it seemed, but then I started getting random crashes. Oh no! Tested all my hardware, then ran it all together but without the riser - no problems. Assemble it again, and boom - problems immediately back. Yep, its the riser. So it shouldnt be a problem, right? Just get a replacement and youre good to go? Nope! The company is unable to honor the warranty in a timely manner, because the parts are backordered and they have no idea when theyll be in stock again - all they can promise is that itll be Q3 of this year. And since the graphics card MUST be mounted with the riser cable, which is so absurdly short you wont find a decent replacement anywhere, you will be essentially left in the dust if yours dies on you, unless you just have extra cases lying around for some reason. Thank God Amazon decided to come through and give me a refund, because otherwise Id be stuck with my riser in my hand, if you know what I mean. TL;DR - It was a great case, but when it relies on something as finicky as a riser, youd think theyd be better prepared for the issues thatll inevitably arise. Not so for Cooler Master - at least, not this time. My advice, either avoid this case, or simply wait until the supply issues are resolved. Or, if you have money to burn, I guess just buy one and pray yours lasts longer than mine did.

This is without a doubt the best approach to a case that can house full form factor, ATX size components without compromise. In current I am running a i9-9900k at 5.1 ghz, cooled by a nzxt x63 280 mm radiator. The temperatures of the CPU top out at about 70 C and the fans are dead silent. Mounted in the rear portion is a gigantic evga rtx 3080 ftw3 that takes up every bit of space spare a tiny bit in the front for airflow. The temperatures here are not amazing, but for a mini itx, 80-Ish C is quite acceptable. The fans do have to rev up and is a little noisy, but nothing to worry about, even with desktop speakers. You won’t be bothered unless you are a “everything must be dead silent “ enthusiast. I recommend getting a strip of poly foam to place between the case interior, bottom shelf, and rear of the graphics card to tone down gpu sag. It’s likely not an issue, but for me, I bought mini itx to enjoy moving it to LAN parties; the extra protection guarantees you won’t mess up your multi thousand dollar investment. Overall I find the clean, led-less build to be extremely satisfying, much nice to have extra desk space for the giant aw3418 ultra wide that sits next to it. The build IS tough, though. I sent a few hours putting it together iteratively as cable management was tricky. An after market braided cable set will likely make this easier, so if you don’t mind spending an extra 50 dollars, do it. Well done and bravo Cooler Master.

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 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.

Great case for builds. Plenty of space in a small package. Not the smallest case out there, but small enough to be small form factor. Very easy to build with this case, you can take the entire thing apart. Plenty of airflow. Great bang for the buck, you cant go wrong with this case. This case is designed for SFX power supplies, but you can fit a bigger PSU in it, but I recommend just sticking with SFX power supplies.

4 stars only because there is no way to screw in the side panels, and they like to fall off when the case is tilted sideways. The positives: Was able to fit an Asus Prime B250M-A mATX motherboard in here (10.24 x 2.03 x 10.63 inches). Had to forego the I/O shield as well as relocate the external power plug so that the motherboard could slide up to the top of the inside of the case. Was able to fit a full size tower cooler with not a single millimeter to spare. Also managed to squeeze in a full ATX power supply but there was nowhere to mount it. Literally everything other than the fans and CPU cooler are zip tied. No screws were harmed (or used) in the making of this PC. Overall this is a great little chassis. No annoying/ugly branding, very svelte and nice looking. Cozy inside. High quality construction overall.
