All water pumps are set to maximum RPM and fans are set to a fixed RPM by the Motherboard software/BIOS. It can’t hold a full-size ATX power supply, but both SFX and SFX-L compact models will fit snugly inside. In addition to the side and top fan-mount locations, the case also has room for a smaller (92mm) fan on its rear, plus two 120mm fans on the case bottom. Even with the system installed there are gaps and paths for airflow, cables neatly route around the PSU shroud to get to where they need to be.

If you're on a tight budget, however, or liquid cooling isn't essential for your build, another compact case will let you opt for more affordable components to fill out the bill of lading. For as long as I can remember, I've had love of all things tech, spurred on, in part, by a love of gaming.

Data shown in the charts represent the average component temperature over the length of the test as measured by HWiNFO and then calculated to get the average. Seven possible fan mounts, ample ventilation, and generous liquid and air-cooler clearances keep even the most powerful systems running at their optimum temperatures and speeds. The compact structure can efficiently house CPU coolers up to 155mm in height and radiators up to 280mm in length, so even the hottest running hardware can’t be held back. Its cage hangs off of the motherboard mounting tray with a few metal clips and a single screw holding it in place.

Cable length seems perfect for the EPS power, 24-pin and PCIe, the modular power supply allows any unused cables to be removed and you are not left with an excess of cable that needs to be bundled up or hidden away which is difficult when space is at a premium. The NR200P Color had a metal mounting bracket along the left side of the case that could be used to hold a 3.All temperature measurements are presented as Deltas – meaning the ambient temperature has been deducted from the CPU temperature giving us a Delta.

The case comes with various screws for mounting all the necessary components and zip ties for cable management. The NR200P bears unlimited cooling potential: including two 120mm SickleFlow fans, and capable of holding up to 7 fans in total. When it comes to color, though, most are more or less the same: black, white, or some shade of silver, with other colors as outliers. Unsurprisingly the thermal performance of the Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P is at its best with all outer panels removed, but no user would wish to run the case like this for obvious reasons.The other three NR200P hues aren’t common, either, but Cooler Master has a near-monopoly on purple at the moment.
