Cooler Master NR200 ITX Case Review - The Best ITX Case For The Money

Рет қаралды 848,951

Күн бұрын

The MasterBox NR200 and NR200P ITX PC cases are Cooler Master's attempt to listing to community feedback and create a SFF gaming case that offers a TON of features, airflow and PC build options. But more importantly the MasterBox NR200 price is what really sets it apart from other cases in the ITX market. Since the NR200P and NR200 release date, we've been using them for a few ITX PC builds and came away impressed, both the Black and White versions. This is a case that doesn't sacrifice temperatures, airflow or much of anything else.

@kennuimuffins2426 3 жыл бұрын

@@devinwilliams4860 DA2 is about the same size with worse thermals and higher price tag. Ncase M1 is over twice as expensive (closer to 3x if you need international shipping). Cooler height on that is only 130mm which is 25mm less. Doesn't have vertical mount GPU (even if it's worse) or the PSU orientation feature. What i'm saying is that you can't physically have the same features as you go smaller, so it's not as simple as smaller being better in every way. If you can afford it, the ncase is a better option. But for most people, the extra $100+ could be spent on upgrading the specs of the PC with a better GPU, bigger SSD etc. The size difference is also not very big between the M1 and NR200. Comparing it to the other smaller cases you mentioned will show even more differences to the point they aren't even in the same category imo.

I'm very impressed with this case, picked it up as a placeholder while waiting for a limited production ITX case to come in stock. After using the NR200 I have no intention of getting another case now, its really well done. It is a bit bigger but it fit 6 standard size fans with a 2 slot GPU. My 5950x/3090 system actually runs 2c cooler in this case than my previous ATX case. I think this is nearly the smallest you can go while still having ATX level of cooling/quiet. I have 2 bottom intake fans, 2 top exhaust, and a Arctic Freezer ii 280 as side intake. My 5950x PBO curve all core 4.54Ghz peaks 83c, 3090 PL maxed 375watts 71c.

Hey man! You just earned a subsribe from me. I love how you showed the cooling temps in the fans set ups. I watched 30 vids of this and they all did it wrong according to your charts and the temps matched exactly as you said when you added exaust or intake fans at the bottom of the case. Question is, why do you think exausting out the bottom with accualy cause issues? You would really think this should help as it pushes air out.

If you are looking to downsize your system, look at this case and the SAMA IM01 (US version). The SAMA is a similarly sized case (only 3L more) but has a lot more compatibility as it natively supports mATX motherboards and ATX PSU’s. It’s a lot less elegant as the NR200(P), but I found that my system could have a lot more upgradability with a larger motherboard. It’s also cheaper case to case and system to system as the larger parts actually cost significantly less. Note: The SAMA IM01 has several different versions across the globe, basically rebrands.
