Hi Devyn! Been loving these build videos and I just want to suggest for the dimensions of the cases to be included in the videos so we can easily decide if a case is for us. I think that's a great way to encourage potential builders in the future.

[@sohelmahamudhridoy7412]

sir can you please make a video about jonsbo c6 case with matx motherboard & atx psu, please sir it's an humble request sir.

[@TOUCH_ME03]

What feels more structurally durable? Nr200p max or ncore 100 max?

[@ferpeo]

Love your content! You have done a great job with this one. I’m looking to build an itx soon! Probably this is the one I’m been waiting for

[@artyombodin6630]

It's amazing to see how far itx pc components went to be mainstream

[@RiceCubeTech]

Mobos still kind of suck tho. Pay a massive premium for subpar IO.

[@mikeymaiku]

@@XiaOmegaX too bad your paying for engineering, not really the products themselves

[@randomanun4278]

It's kind of nice to have a company laser focused on older gamers who don't want a giant case and also are interested in performance and style. Thst case is as much a conversation piece as it is functional.

[@jurajjanosik7451]

Thank you so much for this video. Right now I'm in the middle of building ITX computer and I couldn't decide between these two cases. You are the first one I found that compare both of them in term of temps. NR100 is nice but I will be going with NR200.

[@pututski6968]

This case is AMAZING. It genuinely seems like a much better choice in the same vertical form factor than the NZXT H1 from a few years back. For what you are getting, the price is decent IMO, though of course on sale or if it was around that $350 price point it would be a no brainer choice. The fact that your Motherboard IO is accessible as well as the GPU compatibility and standard non-proprietary 120mm radiator makes this excellent

[@robk4693]

What about noise? I would prefer this one over the "normal looking" M1Evo, but latest reviews are showing that this case tends to be quite noisy in comparison. Whats your experience?

[@ssgtblackmamba7991]

Finally an actual review for this case

[@makatron]

I'd keep my NR200P Max, thank you very much. Way easier I/O and better cooling.

[@garrek99]

The problem with this case is the PSU exhausting hot air into the radiator. I fixed that problem with a small aluminum plate that allowed me to rotate the PSU 90 degrees counterclockwise so that it will exhaust out the back.

[@mashiori9020]

Do you have an stl model or drawings for it? Very interested in this

[@nevoburi]

@garrek99 I would be interested in that too😮​@@mashiori9020

[@Crunkmaster]

nice looking case, i really like vertical tower cases and i wasn't expecting temps on the GPU to be that good honestly with how the fan just... throws heat into a panel

[@MrMirofl]

a vertical layout like the meshlicious where you can install larger aio radiators would've been nice

[@joa.oliveira]

Absolutely love your videos! It seems popular to appear messy and careless in video's these days, but I don’t like it. I love the clean and sleek style you’re presenting products, because the craft and products actually deserves respect as well. Be kind to materials people, and, well.. to matter, for that matter 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@theokra]

I like these "showpiece" ITX case designs!

[@mo0rkszz94]

Hello Devyn, I'm new to your channel, which I found as I was looking into ITX builds. I like your videos, how you build and explain what you are looking at when building with an ITX form-factor. I just was wondering, what do you do with these builds once you are done? Are these sent to you by the manufacturers to showcase their components and then return then to them or what happens afterwards? Keep up the good job!

[@RealNoxyoxy]

I'm pretty sure he sells them on is insta

[@Toldyaso1216]

I replaced the radiator fan with a Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM. The stock Coolermaster fan was horrendously noisy out of the box. The Noctua Fan is very quiet and the cpu ran cooler in all situations with the Noctua fan installed. Coolermaster has hit on a pretty good idea here but as usual are shooting themselves in the foot trying to save a buck with crap fans.

[@thetechrealist]

Honestly, this case seems better than the nzxt one, because of the motherboard io being on the back

[@truezywoozy9742]

Having one of these cases for about a week, as much as I love the look the quality in the AIO pump and the psu is just too bad to keep it… building in an A4-h20 instead

[@carterhanks]

The 4090 FE (And I think all of the 40 series FE cards IIRC?) exhausts through the HDMI/DP side, and on the GEFORCE RTX side it pulls air directly through the cooler and out of the top/back straight through the fan. At least that is my understanding of it. Either way same issue you were talking about - just slightly less crucial since at least the one fan will exhaust downward instead of straight back into the panel. Mightnot be considered ideal because it is tyring to send hot air downward via one fan, but seemingly less crucial since there will at least be space for the air to flow vs being blocked/restricted by the panel. Likely why you're still seeing acceptable performance/temps even with this style of card. Anyway. Love the videos. Production quality is awesome, and I love the variety in builds. Binging your channel always has me wanting to build another.

[@makatron]

The fan closer to the ports exhaust to that way, the other is just pass-through.

[@joey1807]

Another solid video! What is the software you use when gaming that shows your FPS along with your CPU and GPU temps?

[@MrGalax00]

Awesome case, something to consider when it goes on sale.

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

iTX PCs have come a long way though some components are still more expensive than regular ATX sized components

[@calebl1919]

Absolutely flawless

[@alteredomega]

What happens when the aio dies... Will they have the aio as a separate component so you can replace it or will the whole case be garbage?

[@chintansolanki2248]

CPU package power 68.37W only in NCORE 100 MAX cinnebench. That sounds restricted and it is half of it's TDP :)

[@oxilon9872]

excuse me in this case, fits a Radeon RX 7800 XT for XFX QICK319 RX 7800 XT CORE? and I saw in your video that the power supply has a one connector, because of The Radeon has double connector of 8 pin

[@J_Brian]

would of been kinda cool if you could fit some slim fans in the front of the case as exhaust and smaller 120 or 92mm fan at the bottom? To push air through the case.

[@datpspguy]

Just added this to the cart to purchase. Been wanting to build an AI Dev machine for local LLM models and this is exactly what I've been waiting for. Thank you

[@puggiepugpugpug7563]

[@jmal]

It's basically an NZXT H1 or a HYTE Revolt 3, but artsy. If I didn't already have a case that fit all my needs, I would've seriously gone for this.

Not bad actually, it wasn't putting any pressure on the port from what I can tell. There's a pretty decent amount of room underneath. Might be more of an issue if you use a longer GPU and have to lower the bracket/riser cable to the lowered position. Will have to test that.

A 120 isn't going to be enough to keep the CPU cooled for high demand. Especially when you're pulling the heat of the system through that radiator.

[@tonyy.8852]

Bro even a 47mm air cooler could cool a 7800X3D, that cpu is crazy efficient

[@mstrwil73]

@tonyy.8852 I said "high demand." I didn't say overheat. Mid to high 80's and 90's. Plus, you can't cool the liquid with hot system air. You responded like I said it was totally useless or not sufficient. It's a poor design in my opinion. The radiator would be more efficient when placed somewhere it can draw cooler air. That was the only point.

Do you think we'll get an update to the NR200 anytime soon? I really like it, but it's been out a long time and it's missing usb c so I've been hesitating buying it and using it for my new build. I had my daughter build her first PC in the NR200 without the cooler, etc, and I was so jealous and wished my first build was using that case. Was so much easier to build in and the form factor is perfect for what I want.

[@AndyU96]

Cooler master fgs make a case for people other than girls... Enough with all-proprietary pre-installed stuff. I may want a 280 AIO for my 7950X3D. I may also need a stronger power supply. Hell it's be better if they only included the PSU and let ME get a pathetic 120mm AIO of my choosing at least. This is really a lost opportunity as I dont think there are any decent cases that utilize height while taking away from the other dimensions, which is a go to for people with limited desk space. I have a meshlicious with a 7950X3D and a 3080, and I just wish that the case was just a little taller so I could fit the next gen graphics cards in there.

Honestly it doesn’t make any sense. Why not let people run the best CPU if you’re giving them the option to run the best GPU?

[@ferpeo]

This case is more for gaming than for creators, and for gaming, a current gen mid CPU will do the job just fine, even with a 4090 (unless you reduce the details to 720p or something ridiculous like that). It totally makes sense, since CM is trying to reduce the footprint of the case to the minimum
