The main criticisms of small-volume chassis products are poor scalability and poor heat dissipation. In addition to poor scalability, hardware compatibility will also be significantly reduced.
But this time, I want to introduce a super small iTX case with 280mm built-in water cooling row, 850W SFX power supply and PCIe 4.0 extension cable. The NR200P MAX launched by Cooler Master has built-in power supply and water cooling, and has been fixed early. After booting, simply install the motherboard, processor, memory, hard drive and graphics card to complete the assembly!
Small size, strong expansion and vertical installation of the graphics card
NR200P MAX measures 377mm in length, 185mm in width and 292mm in height (including protruding parts) .The side panel is pre-installed with two pieces of wire mesh and there is a piece of tempered glass in the accessories that can be replaced, showing fantastic visual lighting effect inside the case, I / O includes 2 sets of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 3.5mm Audio + Microphone, which is quite a satisfying setup.
There are three sets of PCIe expansion slot, the graphics card is installed vertically, and the length can support up to 336mm.There are thick and high feet around the bottom and a large area magnetic filter, which is easier to clean .
In terms of heat dissipation, two 120 / 140mm fans can be installed on the top of the case, a set of 280mm water cooling radiators are integrated, and a maximum of two 120mm fans can be installed in the side inferior. install a 3.5 inch hard drive, you can only install a 120mm fan, the overall cooling expansion is not bad for such a small case.
The internal structure adopts extremely compact design, the motherboard is compatible with Mini-ITX specification, and you can install a common 2.5 / 3.5-inch hard drive, one 3.5-inch hard drive and two 2.5-inch, and the hard drive expansion is very sufficient.
The integrated water cooling adopts the integrated water cooling of the third generation double chamber water cooling head, which increases the water cooling surface by 25% .The fan is equipped with 2 SICKLEFLOW 140MM PWM FANS. power supply is equipped with 850W Gold-certified SFX V850 SFX GOLD power supply. It has been fixed early and the general quick release modular design makes it easier and more convenient for gamers to assemble.
The hardware adopts ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX / TB3 and NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super public version I believe Compatibility is very good So, let’s take a look at the cooling performance of Cooler Master NR200P MAX.
First, the two side panels are in mesh configuration, cold air enters from both sides, hot air is discharged from the top, the test environment is 28 degrees, using AIDA64 Stress CPU and Stress FPU to burn for 10 minutes, you can see that the CPU temperature drops 83.3 ~ 83.7 degrees on average, The graphics card is not under load, so the average temperature is 32.1 degrees. Then use FurMark to burn the machine for 10 minutes and the graphics card temperature averages 71.2 degrees, which is excellent performance for a small case.
The next step is to replace one side panel (left side) with the clear glass side, so that only the other side remains for air intake and hot air is discharged from above. test is 28 degrees AIDA64 CPU stress and FPU stress are used to burn in the machine for 10 minutes.You can see the CPU The average temperature is 84.2 to 84.6 degrees, and the temperature is 0.9 degrees above the plate side mesh.The graphics card is not loaded, so the average temperature is 32.0 degrees.
Then use FurMark to burn the car for 10 minutes. The average temperature of the graphics card is 73.9 degrees, which is 2.7 degrees higher than that of the mesh side panel. To be honest, the temperature difference isn’t too big. to use the mesh side panel which prioritizes heat dissipation or the clear glass side panel which prioritizes visual lighting effects Let the players choose!
Cooler Master NR200P MAX is truly a boon for gamers who love small cases. It optimizes scalability, compatibility and heat dissipation in a small size. It has a certain level of performance in all aspects. The integrated processor water cooling and power supply, and at the same time all the annoying line is taken care of, which reduces the difficulty and assembly time, and can be used after installing the basic hardware of the machine!
The overall look is understated with a sense of technology and color matching. The side panel also has clear mesh and glass sides to choose from. If you want to be sober or show visual lighting effects, let the player decide. still looking for small volume chassis products? The Cooler Master NR200P MAX is worth trying.
