Cooler Master Launches the NR200P V3 Compact Case Series

[Nomad76]

Cooler Master has introduced the new NR200P case now in its V3 iteration. The NR200P V3 is a Mini-ITX case designed for compact builds requiring high-performance cooling solutions. The case measures 378.2 x 185 x 292 mm with protrusions (18.62-liter volume) while supporting full-size components. The exterior combines aluminium, SGCC steel, mesh panels, and ABS plastic components. The CNC-machined aluminium side panels feature magnetic latching mechanisms for tool-free access. Large mesh side panels facilitate airflow while maintaining component visibility. The NR200P V3 accommodates 240 mm and 280 mm AIO liquid coolers through top-mounted radiator support. Additional cooling options include dual 120 mm or 140 mm fans at the top. Bottom ventilation supports up to two 120 mm slim fans (maximum 15 mm thickness) when no 3.5-inch drive is installed, or one 120 mm slim fan with a drive present.

It can accommodate CPU coolers up to 70 mm in height and supports graphics cards up to 361.5 mm in length, 160 mm in height, and 78.5 mm in width (3.8 slots). A PCIe 5.0 x16 riser cable enables vertical GPU mounting, with an included GPU support bracket for stability. Power supply compatibility covers SFX and SFX-L form factors. Storage capacity includes one 3.5-inch HDD bay (expandable to two) and one 2.5-inch SSD bay (expandable to two). Front I/O provides two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, and a 3.5 mm headset jack. The Cooler Master NR200P V3 ships in black finish with a two-year warranty (retail pricing was not yet disclosed) targeting users requiring maximum performance in minimal desktop space.

Their website is also listing mesh version of MF600 and CM695 apart from 3(5 if you count "lite" version) new Elite cases apart from this V3 of NR200.

I kinda like this tbh..

I like the idea, for big modern GPUs this makes sense.

However, it's solid on the top? It should be mesh, most modern GPUs eject heat through the side, oriented like this they will throw heat straight up. Make that mesh and the temps would be even lower. Also wisht he ports faced forward instead of up, have to get up out of the chair to plug anything in.

EDIT: wait it says it supports top fans. So is the top solid or mesh? the render looks solid to me.

That pinhole design isn't as breathable as the pictures suggest. Small holes have greater resistance to air pressure, and the metal actually has larger surface area than the holes themselves.
With those GPU fans capable of +2,000 RPM and draw air inwards, also expect significant dust to build up.

This is not bad looking. I do still prefer the original NR200 since I don't like relying on riser cables, but this looks like it would work for big video cards.

If it only had a handle then I would consider getting this.

HYTE's Revolt 3 is good, but the rear motherboard I/O ports being on the bottom and the lack of a USB-C front header support (it's a USB-C extension cord instead) is annoying. The other problem is the sharp corners which makes it painful if you are carrying it and you accidentally hit the edges, that and the risk of damaging the surface of your workspace if you need to tip it over to change things on it.

I have two of the V1 cases, which were easy enough to turn horizontally and use as entertainment center PCs. This version definitely isn't going to work for that. Buying a card specifically to fit this case feels like a waste. Can the rear slots be rotated?

I don't understand why CM insists on having a promo shot with the side filters removed.
