Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P – small dimensions, big features

Conclusion and rating

SFF PCs are gaining popularity, so manufacturers are naturally expanding the range of cases in this category. But what if you want a small PC, that’s packed with powerful hardware and with a liquid cooling loop as well? MasterBox NR200P, quite interesting case from Cooler Master, recently appeared on the market. It appears to be well suited for this scenario. But is it really good idea to combine small case and a custom liquid cooling?

Conclusion and rating

The previous text is not intended to serve as an exact review, I do not want to step into the field of my colleague Bednár. Rather, take it as a practical experience and impressions when fitting a build into an interesting case. And that’s what the MasterBox NR200P is without a doubt. Here the Cooler Master hit the bullseye. The quality of the used materials and the overall build quality is at a high level. The case is pleasantly modular, you just need to take into account what hardware you want to prioritize.

For an SFF case, the NR200P is quite large and heavy, but on the other hand you get a much wider selection of compatible graphics cards or coolers. And compared to classic mATX or ATX cases, it is still pleasantly compact. In addition, you can easily build a completely custom liquid cooling loop into this case, as I’ve just showed you. All this at a surprisingly low price, especially compared to similar cases such as NCASE M1 or DAN A4-SFX. Except for the absolute details, I have nothing to complain about this case. MasterBox NR200P is simply a very successful product and has my full recommendation.

But within a certain universality, the MasterBox 600 is ready for practically all component formats. The size of the case corresponds to an average midi-tower. Read more “MasterBox 600.

12VHPWR cable thermal imaging: Different PSU, different temps

Something for warm-up. We’ll start our ATX 3.0 PSU tests with perhaps the most talked about topic surrounding them, the temperatures of the new cables with 16-pin PCIe connectors. The overview of the PSUs of twelve brands answers well the question of how the manufacturers handled which models. With high current loads, the temperature differences can be quite significant, both on the connector housings and on the wire insulation.
