Cooler Master NR200P Max

Ranked #27 in PC Cases

96 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

The worst long-term ownership proposition on the board: a locked-in, loud, nonstandard AIO and PSU bundle that turns a pump failure into a case replacement. Buy a standard NR200P or the Lian Li Lancool 207.

The NR200P Max comes with a 280mm AIO, an 850W SFX-L PSU, and solid mesh ventilation already included in the box. That’s exceptional value for someone who doesn’t want to source every component separately. The full case volume is about 18.4 liters. GPU length support reaches 336mm. CPU cooler height without AIO goes up to 155mm. The mesh panels on all sides give it genuinely good airflow. It’s the case the r/sffpc community recommends most often to builders who ask “what should I start with?” and for good reason. Worth the extra cost over buying the base NR200 separately and then adding cooling components.

The NR200P Max was actually really easy to build in. You can take apart most of the panels to get access to everything. Probably the most tricky part was getting the GPU bracket back on the case as it requires lining up quite well. But still, not that tough.

Overall I'm a big fan, even if it does only sell as a bundle. I hope they do sell the bare case at some point down the line though. I have far too many extra PC components, it would be nice to do a build with stuff I already have rather than all new.

For our case, we’ve gone with the Cooler Master NR200P Max, which includes a PSU and cooler, which will significantly cut down our costs. For other cases, the Fractal Era or Fractal Terra are also excellent, designer choices.

When I first laid eyes on the MasterBox NR200P MAX mini ITX case, I knew it was the perfect choice for me. Previously, my PC resided in a monstrous Fractal Design R4 case. I had been contemplating downsizing my system for a while, and this was the opportune moment to do so.

The Cooler Master Masterbox NR 200P Max is the perfect compact SSF chassis for any system builder who wants to build a mini PC using a mini RTX motherboard. The chassis can also fit a full-length graphics card as well. It comes included with a 280 mm all-in-one cooler. And of course, the star of the show, an impressive 850 W gold SFX power supply

Loved building in the NR200P Max, I agree it really makes building SFF a breeze with surprisingly great temps.

This case is absolutely great, as it offers a lot of space for powerful hardware and yet is so tiny.

So, pretty impressive for what is still an ITX case. On top of that, two side panels have been included. the tempered glass side panel, but also a side panel that is much more focused on the cooling side of things. So, a mesh panel, which Caller Master are also marketing as offering improved cooling over their previous mesh side panel. So, that's interesting as well.

As someone who recently built an NR200P I was honestly surprised that it wasn't setup out of the box for this radiator configuration, given that it's the most logical and best for liquid cooling.

My build has been waiting on the nr200p max for the last few weeks but with launch being delayed I ended up going with the Revolt 3 instead.

Quick video on the fan noise (vibrating and ticking) issue I've encountered on multiple NR200P Max cases. Not an aspect covered much by reviews of the case, but a very pertinent problem.
