Cooler Master NR200 Mini-ITX PC Case, High Airflow, 330mm GPU Support

I was extremely lucky to stumble upon this case while looking for a Mini-ITX. It's made of durable, good quality metal that's heavy (but not too heavy), small with a lot of room, and extremely versatile (just about every panel of this thing comes off without any tools - just need a screwdriver for the top and bottom panels). It's pretty much perfect for both experts and first-time builders who want a smaller compact PC. This was my very first time building my own PC, and despite it being inside such a small case, the NR200 made it extremely easy to install. There are tons of places for cable management ties with unlimited potentional for different layouts. The case also has so much airflow that it cools the case extremely well. You also can't beat the price either - it's comparable to a Ncase M1 (but slightly bigger) while being less than half the cost. There are only a couple issues that I ran into: - The backside of the case does not have a lot of room to run cables. Not a deal breaker (it was still very doable) but you'll need to strap down the cables on the backside as well in order to get the panel to shut. If it had just another half inch it would be perfect. - There are many mixed answers on this, but the version without the riser does NOT come with a glass side panel (or at least mine didn't). If you want a see-through side panel, you'll have to opt for the PCI riser version. Overall I'm extremely happy with this case, it made my first build in a Mini-ITX case very easy. My PC runs very cool and there's lots of room for expansion once the 20 & 30 series cards drop in price again. My build: - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB - Team T-Force Vulcan TUF 16GB 3200MHz - 512GB M.2 NVMe Boot Drive w/ 2 500GB 2.5 SSDs - Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX MOBO - Corsair SF 450 Watt PSU - 3 x 120mm PWM Fans

The TLDR is that this case is great. I bought another to build a new work computer, and both cases are keeping cool. I did replace the fans with Scythe 140mm fans on the radiator and 120mm slim fans for the bottom on both my home and work builds since both are similar enough. It's been a while since I built a computer and kind of set it and forgot about it. I've dusted out the home machine once since I got that one. Otherwise my only gripe was the paint on the original case but again, that literally buffed out. The second case didn't even have much in the way of spots on the paint or anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Original review below: I had an original nr200 that I moved an old itx build into about a year ago and loved it. I honestly wish I had kept it instead of selling and keeping my atx build. But I probably wouldn't have gone with this then. So, it's a win. After waiting 7+ months for this case, between seeing it in reviews and not knowing where to get it until it hit Amazon/Newegg, I'd say it was worth the wait. This comes with two minor caveats, for me at least, that I can't imagine many people have run into. I got my *first* delivery and was missing the riser cable and one of the pcie power cables. The box looked unopened so I'll say it was a packing issue from the factory. I did try to just go through the order page to exchange it but was only given the option to return. I'd imagine this is due to the cost of the item as a whole. A call with an Amazon rep got this turned into an exchange. The second little gripe I have is with the paint. On the first and second item, the paint looked a little weird. Not really scuffs but I had to take a little polish to the panels to clean them up. Not a big deal, but if someone is paying close to or over 450 for this great package, and technically for a specific color, I would think the qc on the paint would be a better. I popped an x570i Strix board with my 5900x and Strix 3080. Everything fit like a glove. The cooler does have a little whine in the pump but I keep the machine of to the side and have a fan on most of the time so it's not audible. I did change the top fans out though for the Silverstone Penatrator ARGB fans to get a little more flair but the stock fans were more than capable of get the hot air through the radiator. I matched these up with their 120mm Slimmer fans. If you don't already have a computer built or want to downsize from an ATX build like my situation, this is the way to go. Be weary that the psu comes with 2x PCIE power cables that have 2 plugs daisy chained each. I don't really see this as a problem but I know there are disadvantages to this according to the internet pc building gods. I had a custom cable made anyway to add a third and there are plenty of people on etsy that can provide such a product or a full set of cables if needed. I paired this with a set of those 90 degree adapters too so it looks extra clean. I think if Coolermaster sold this version of the case, without the psu, cooler, riser, etc, for the same price as the normal nr200, I think they'd still sell a ton. Great case overall, probably never going mid/full size build again because of it.

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 they're nice and tight until you're 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 doesn't 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 radiator's top to bottom dimension. I had to spread the bracket's 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 case's 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 shouldn't make a difference once the machine is assembled, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, the case is pretty heavy for it's size. I was planning to buy one of the windowed versions of this case as well, but they sold out early.

I love this case. It's well built, relatively easy to assemble, and looks great. I'm a beginner to building and this is my second PC build. I built the first one 10 years ago for gaming, and it lasted me longer than any other PC I have ever owned, which is why I chose to build another instead of buying a preassembled one. My old PC is still running well, and pretty fast too, but it doesn't have the specifications for newer updates (e.g., Windows 11, 4k display, and specifications for software updates). The main purpose of this second PC build is to be able to run statistical and data analysis software for grad school, be able to handle programing and also be gaming capable if I ever do decide to play. I wanted a small ITX PC that I can easily take with me if I need to attend school in another city. I also wanted it to look more professional than some of the typical gaming PCs out there. This case has great reviews and has a well thought-out design in terms of cooling and cable management. It met all of my criteria. It comes with an AIO, power supply, and thermal paste. Before receiving the case I was a bit concerned about the quality, but it is actually very sturdy and well built. Panels are easy to remove and put on, without too many screws. They are held in place by the design of the case. The panels clicks into the structure of the case. There is no concern about panels falling out. I did not have any issue with fitting the motherboard or other components into the case, but it is small inside and would be difficult to remove components. I had to unplug a couple of cords to try to read the serial number on the side of the motherboard and that was not fun. Overall, very satisfied with this case and would recommend it. If I have to build another computer, I would choose this case without a doubt. Out of all the components I bought to build this PC, this is by far my favorite component. PC build MSI MEG z690i motherboard Intel i7 12700k CPU Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32 GB RAM Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB SSD Cooler Master NR200P Max case

This is a nice case. I like that it cane with a 280mm AIO and an 850 watt PSU (a high quality one at that). This case is pretty easy to build in as all the panels can simply pop off to make it easier to route cables. This case also seems sturdy and looks like it will last a good while. This case is kind of tall for an ITX case but that is because of the radiator at the top. My only complaint is the 140mm fans that come with the case are lacking, especially for my overclocked Ryzen 7 9700X. The solution for that problem is I adden a pair of slim 120mm fans to the bottom and use the mesh side panel instead of the glass one. I also replaced the Cooler Master SickleFlow140’s with Arctic P14 Pro PST’s and while those fans are a bit louder than the CM’s, the Arctics made my system go from being at TjMax (85C) to never exceeding 75C even when I play Madden (which tends to be extreme CPU intensive). The Sickleflow fans are probably adequate for a non overclocked CPU or a Ryzen 5 though. Another thing that can help with CPU temps is undervolting your GPU or running the fans as intakes so the radiator gets less heat from there.

Probably the best ITX case on the market. I've been looking for an ITX case for my gaming rig for a while, but didn't want to spend close to $300 on the more popular models (most of them are out of stock anyway). Cooler Master definitely saved the day on this one. Fantastic build quality, stealthy look and amazing cooling performance! Finished my build a few days ago: - i9 9700K @ 4.6Ghz - NZXT Kraken X53 (mounted on the side bracket in pull configuration with 2x Noctua A12x25) - FE RTX 2070 Super (undervolted w/ max clock ~925mV) - 2x Noctua SF12A fans on the bottom as intake right into the GPU - 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, ROG Z-390I mobo My system was originally in the NZXT H210i, but the GPU temperatures were higher than I was expecting causing the fans to spin up a lot (FE cards are LOOUUUUD). GPU temps in the NR200 are a good 5-6 deg C cooler than the H210i. Building in the case was also a breeze, all the panels come off without tools and cable management was incredibly easy - no glass panels so you don't really need to worry about hiding anything. A+ would definitely recommend this case!

easy to work with comes with everything needed for a pc case but need 1 more thing and that is ultra slim fans for either intake or exhaust on the bottom to equalize negative pressure the build quality of the case is amazing it gotr some weight on it i like the tool less design of it beginner friendly when building a small form factor PC

This is an excellent case, and one of the few mainstream and affordable small form factor PC cases. Its major relative compromise is the size, which is close to as large as "SFF" gets. The case is also heavier than most SFF cases, being mostly made of steel, versus aluminum or plastic. However, it has nearly no size or cooling limitations in its class. Aesthetically, it follows the general SFF PC trend of minimalist design. Anything I have planned for my build, be it the largest GPU I can afford, or adding some old 3.5" hard drives to my system, are possible in this case, which is easily transportable, though not quite backpack portable. I won't spend much time talking more about the positives of this case but I'll highlight some of my gripes, which should not be deal breakers, but ways that Cooler Master can improve the case without reducing its capabilities. Though the NR200 can accommodate almost any ITX hardware, its layout design is not completely perfect. I would have appreciated some gaps in the frame or motherboard area for routing cables behind the motherboard. One of my PSU cables is routed between the motherboard panel and the case's right side panel (when looking towards the case), but it's the flat kind which raises the case's side panel ever so slightly. Others with round or quality braided cables looking to route their cables behind the motherboard without raising the side case panel will need to route the cables in the gap between the motherboard and the motherboard panel. Unfortunately, they will need to do this before installing the motherboard, and uninstall the mobo every time before disconnecting. Some extra spaces or gaps that allow the cable connectors to slide through would have solved this problem. Another gap for the 24 pin connector would have improved quality of life a little, too, though I'm not sure if that would be possible in a practical spot. Having the thick 24 pin cable extending from the PSU in its default position can press down on the GPU without some careful cable management. Fortunately, Cooler Master provided some velcro straps underneath the PSU that help with this a lot, likely because they anticipated this problem for most consumers. Still, I can tell that Cooler Master intended this case to be as easy as possible for beginners, and neat cable management and avoiding pressure on the GPU will likely be a fairly difficult step of building in this case. Finally, the case could perhaps use some lengthier front I/O cables, so that they could have been routed behind the motherboard without blocking the PSU fan. Speaking of front I/O, I would have also preferred a USB type C connector on the front. I can understand that it was not included due to cost, but I would prefer a version of the NR200 with a type C port and no fans, and likely would have even paid $10 more for that tradeoff. My version of the NR200 is the base version which comes with one 92mm fan and one 120mm fan, and the included fans are fine; not exceptionally quiet but not annoyingly loud. Still, I might replace both of them with Noctua fans to get the quietest possible airflow, and the 92mm fan will definitely not fit when I upgrade to the CPU cooler I plan on getting. Though Cooler Master included fans to appeal to customers who will use stock coolers and don't want to worry about aftermarket cooling solutions, they still have an opportunity to cater to more enthusiast consumers (who constitute a large part of the SFF community). Many SFF builders will either not need the included fans, or prefer to choose their own. They likely also prefer having near to mid-term future proof features. A version of this case without fans and a type C port, offered at a small premium, would still be a great deal. My unit also came with a minor defect - the metal frame (not sure of the correct term) of one of the USB ports at the top is not completely connected. The end of the metal frame is bent inwards slightly as shown in the picture. I haven't encountered problems while plugging and unplugging USB devices, albeit carefully, into the jack multiple times over the past couple of weeks, so I didn't deduct a star or try to get it replaced. I'm optimistic that it'll stay as-is and not get bent worse over time. If this is a problem in manufacturing, hopefully Cooler Master can address this issue.

I got this case recommended by my friend and I received the courier within 2 days after the order. The product was genuine and there were no damages. It was easy for a newbie like me to get this assembled and all the components are well build. Liked the way it looks and the grey color for the max version looks pretty good to me.

En un mercado tan minoritario y poco explorado como lo es el de las computadoras de alta gama en bajos volúmenes de espacio, es muy agradable encontrar sorpresas de este tamaño. Si bien el gabinete NR200 y el NR200 MAX no fueron nuevos en el mercado, la version NR200P MAX viene a corregir algunas cosas algo molestas de la versión anterior a cambio de cerrar las opciones de montura de la GPU y de colocación de enfriamiento de CPU. Empecemos hablando de su lógica y bien planteada idea de flujo de aire, aquí nos dan preinstalado un enfriador líquido de alta gama con 2 ventiladores enormes que sirven de salida de aire caliente. Mucha gente tiende a decir que esto es un error. Pero pueden ver qué en realidad las cosas de mantienen a una temperatura muy buena en general. Todo viene preinstalado y colocado de forma lógica y tranquila para la construcción. Prueba de ello es que la fuente de 850 watts tiene cables completamente personalizados, con una longitud medida a milímetros para quedar perfecto en el 99% de placas base Mini ITX del mercado. Su sistema de montura de discos 2.5 es sin herramientas y perfectamente seguro, sumado a ello, los cortes de la parte posterior del gabinete son todos brillantes y muy bien colocados. He podido reinstalar un SSD sin dolor, sin desarmar nada, solo sacando la tapa posterior del gabinete, sin ningún problema. Hablando de las tapas, nos incluyen una hermosa de cristal templado y todas, absolutamente todas, se pueden quitar sin necesidad de hacer uso de ninguna clase de herramienta. Las tapas con agujeros de respiración son ambas idénticas, quitando problemas de confusión y te brindan además guías puestas incluso en el mismo gabinete para saber qué movimientos debes realizar para su instalación y su remoción. La bomba de agua es sorpresivamente más silenciosa de lo que yo creía y bajo carga muy estresante mi GPU bajo en promedio 15 grados de temperatura de lo que tenía previamente, en mi gabinete RVZ02. Por esta razón, le doy 5 estrellas, porque veo a mucha gente seleccionando este gabinete para quedarse con el durante varias actualizaciones de GPU y CPU (En especial para AMD, ya que es compatible con AM5). Recomendaciones; 1.- Recomiendo verificar la compatibilidad de la GPU con el gabinete previo a la compra. No me mal entiendan, se puede incrustar el 98% de las cosas porque sacrificando un poco la altura del gabinete y la posibilidad de colocar el GPU "acostado", este gabinete nos permite montar cualquier GPU con PCI 4.0 en el. El problema es que algunos ensambladores de gráficas están llegando al absurdo de poner tarjetas que requieren hasta 4,5 slots, lo cual además de innecesario y ridículo, evitaría que ustedes puedan colocar este gabinete en su setup. 2.- Verifiquen la compatibilidad con Intel. En serio... Gracias Intel, no sabes cómo amamos que cada nueva generación cambies a propósito el socket de enfriamiento para las CPU. El gabinete viene con 4 sockets diferentes para Intel, y soy el primero en saber que no es suficiente. Verifiquenlo. (GRACIAS AMD por hacer el socket AM5 compatible con todo AM4) Puntos a mejorar; 1.- Precio. No me mal entiendan, es un paquete 5 estrellas porque las piezas están 100% personalizadas para esta implementación. PERO, en ofertas puedes comprar sin problemas; 1.- NR200P, 2.- Fuente SFX de 850 watts, 3.- Enfriador de alta gama de 2 ventiladores en el radiador... Y todo eso te puede salir entre 50 a 100 dólares más barato de lo que tenemos aquí. Si, vas a tener que lidiar con algunas cosas molestas de la versión anterior del gabinete, como la altura extra o cosas como que la colocación de la fuente es muy cercana a la motherboard y por tanto tendrás que pelear mucho con los cables de longitud estándar. Así que... Cae en ustedes si el tener más comodidad justifica el precio extra. 2.- Color. Alguien más sabio que yo dijo una vez; "Puedes pedir el color que quieras, mientras sea negro." Y aquí no existe esa opción (detalle muy menor) Veredicto final. Este es el paraíso de construcción Mini-ITX. De calle. ¿Es tu primera construcción de PC en tu vida o es tu primer PC Mini-ITX? Felicidades, no busques más. Este gabinete tiene absolutamente todos los argumentos para convertirse en el favorito de absolutamente todos los constructores de este tamaño entusiasta. Si bien, se le pueden señalar cosas como que es algo grande con sus 11 litros en volumen, Cooler Máster sabe aprovechar cada centímetro cúbico disponible para permitirnos tener seguridad en nuestra construcción y en nuestras temperaturas. Tiene 5 estrellas por ser un producto excesivamente completo, a pesar de su precio que puede ser considerado premium.

If you're looking for a quick and reliable solution to jumpstart your SFF PC build then look no further than this sleek looking and quality kit from Cooler Master. 280MM AIO, Case, 850w PSU and short length cables can get virtually any PC builder the proper foundation to a successful project. My build; - 9600x AMD CPU - 7800XT AMD GPU - x870i ROG MOBO - 8000MT/s 32GB DDR5 - 2x Slim Arctic PWM 120mm Fans (bottom) - Cooler Master SFF KIT Every component runs quiet and cool, zero overheating whatsoever. Stepped into my first SFF PC thanks to Cooler Master!

Great case. It had space for everything I wanted

This mITX case was super easy to build in. I definitely recommend this one over the newer generation - there's space to mount the GPU directly onto the motherboard without having to use PCIe riser cables. It's not the smallest case on the market but in exchange for a few mm in W/H/D, you get better airflow and more configuration options.
