We Needed This... | Cooler Master NCore 100 MAX Gaming PC Build | SFF Mini ITX, RTX 4070 Ti

#coolermaster #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - It feels like good quality small form factor cases have been a little left in the dark for the last 12 months. Fear not, Cooler Master have done it once again! Introducing the NCore 100 Max vertical ITX Tower.
Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons!

The NCore 100 Max occupies the same space on your desk as a sheet of A5 paper... let that sink in. It's tiny footprint is a huge deal for those seeking a smaller PC build for limited desk real-estate, without the compromises of hardware compatibility.
With the ability to house almost every GPU available right now, the NCore 100 max allows new builders and seasoned pro's alike to assemble a unique looking gaming system without the stress usually involved with building a compact ITX system.
Cooler Master have done an excellent job designing this chassis. The PSU cables come pre-routed, making the assembly stages an absolute breeze. I'd go as far as to say this is without a doubt the easiest yet most rewarding Gaming PC I've possibly ever built and that's quite a statement.

Once again we see Cooler Master innovating and bringing something a little different to the market. Whilst the vertical SFF chassis is something we've seen before with the NZXT H1 & Phanteks Revolt, Cooler Master have done an incredible job of making the assembly stages effortless and the finished build looks really sweet.

What’s more important? Starting 2024 with a fresh PC build or a fresh mug of coffee? ☕️ Either way, the NCore 100 Max is here and I love it. What’s your thoughts?

Matt, those videos are pure art. I simply love your content!

[@briancreatives917]

Hi Matt. Nice video as always. I think NCore 100 Max is cool case to build in. I love the way the entire build turned out👍

[@bigbadwolfeinc]

Solid build I was kind of confused about the airflow. I thought it'd create turbulence inside, but the temps speak for themselves. They're on to something if they can get the temps like that with such a compact case. Good job, man!

[@michaelw2263]

Yes!! You're the first I've seen to review this slick case!

[@mjacecombat]

These mini itx builds are some of my favorites to watch. It's fascinating to see how compact the cases get, yet are still able to hold all the necessary components.

[@DavyXJones]

This is so sleek and exciting to me, very very cool love the creativity they brought to the table. We need more outside of the "norm" stuff, we have plenty of fishbowls and standard towers already! Anyway great vid as always ❤

That’s a very unique case. It’s great to see CoolerMaster getting back to building great pc cases. By the way, what do you do with all these builds? Are they for clients or just for the channel?

[@itsprod.472]

Pretty it’s just for the channel, the brands sends the parts for a while then he sends them back most likely. Either way pretty gets to test new parts and such

Damn, this case looks so clear, it's giving my current nzxt h1 a completion

[@nextcornerman]

Ok, just like your videos convinced me to go full stealthy/black for my current build, I think I'm going SFF for my next one.

[@Pv488]

I built this last week and love it. Had some issues getting stuff to work and even had a cpu throttle but managed to resolve it. I did change the fan on back and might upgrade the PSU

[@sonofulti1337]

I debated on getting this, but now I'm definitely putting it on my wishlist

One of the cases I want to purchase from Cooler Master in recent years.

dayum, build pc with coffee thats crazy god tier content, i liked it 😮

[@giff74]

0:31 I love the Noctua thermal paste next to the expresso machine!

[@iinph]

very good case man! your airflow demonstration actually helped me to understand how should I setup my fans for my new Qube 500 Cooler master :) . Good job also to Cooler Master guys that they built the most minimal, stylish pc cases!! I'm in love with Ncore 100 and Qube 500 designs. btw that coffee machine is also amazing! :))

[@Cassienope]

How did you change your fans based on the demonstration?

[@iinph]

Watch the video part that demonstrates his computer case's airflow. You'll see that the airflow originates from the front, then moves towards the back and the top by exhaust fans. It's important to understand which side facilitates cooling in order to position everything correctly for optimal fan performance@@Cassienope

[@jimmykoran7805]

These dont feel like KZbin videos. These are more like watching a show/movie. Great work as always!

[@CarlosDeBernardMrAgapi]

aside of the most important part of the video, and you know what it is, the case look ok I did check something like 7 to 8 days ago. i did see also 1 set of cables that has too much. they did a good job and you too. as always thanks Matt

Currently running a NR200p max, this one make me wanna switch. OMG beautiful.

[@nandospc]

One of the best case of CES 2024. The price tag is a bit high, but you buy wuslity for sure. Also, liked a lot the bloopers at the end ahah, nice one mate :)

[@stevens1041]

I've been waiting for these cases. I was really interested in them when cooler master announced them and then, nothing. They look incredible.

[@tictac-nscale]

Wow thats a beautiful PC

[@KG_BM]

hot take, if the top fan is exhaust, the perforations dont need to be that small. its just restrictive. Beautiful case though

i love this design

[@gagusfilms1803]

Perfect

[@oldschool_bamagatrader9960]

i have concern and suspicous at the intersection zone between GPU and PSU because that zone will heat up way more than normal cases.. i suggest to wider the gap between them and in built an exhuast system to pull out warm air out upward .. just work on this issue and u guys officially has the best case so far

[@megapatitude]

I built one of these with a MSI 4090 Gaming Slim GPU, and amd7800x3d. Thermals have been great so far for the casual gaming i do.

[@Jenks1]

This is like the computer equivalent of a sleeper car, where the police pull you over and they think everything is normal. They don't realise until you race off that you were hiding a 4070 TI under the bonnet! Your film making is still absolutely top notch Matt!

[@1specialist_7987]

you can also js call it sleeper build

[@Mr_Matt_Lee]

@jenks1 - yes! 😅 this is literally the perfect comparison. It should’ve been called the Cooler Master NCore Max Sleeper 100… glad you enjoyed the video too buddy and thanks for keeping my coffee supplies well stocked 😁☕️

[@MrEtnie]

Interesting case and such a good video. How you made this build shine, even though it looks kinda crammed. Thumb up. 👍🏽

[@fdjw88]

this is a great case, i wish i have known about it earlier.

[@dmitrykisel9564]

Finally small case !

[@Mr_Matt_Lee]

What it lacks in girth, it makes up for in length 😅

[@jordanmntungwa3311]

A direct assault to ThermalTake Tower 300 and Tower 200. This case has a narrower footprint and looks good from any direction

[@alansanchez2702]

epic music

[@rare6499]

I have 200 Max and it’s a great case, I love the look of this but the limitations on CPU cooling seem a step backwards.

[@alexossan2829]

Same. Have NR200P Max with its rattling AiO fan...I really like the NCore 100 MAX design but that custom AiO makes me think twice.

[@zennakuu]

Congratulations on the excellent content. I would like to know what the ambient temperature is during the tests?

[@trevorassimos1951]

Question??? since it's already exhausting out the top wouldn't it be better to flip the exhaust to an intake, would that help some of the temperature issues in this design? I am upgrading to a similar build using this case in a few days and might give it a try... Also looking at swapping the AIO fan for a Phantek T30 or Noctua NF-A12x25. Can't seem to find info on the custom fan or how much room is in there but doubt it's as good as those options.

[@koushiknandy5215]

Style ❤❤❤❤❤

[@icedmiko]

may consider switching the fractal terra for this one ( terra is awesome but way too limited with cooling support) great video though as always :)

[@Mr_Matt_Lee]

That would be a difficult choice for me to make, but yeah… the standard AIO configuration does make this very appealing. It’s also very good for its size!

[@keliangchan]

just wondering what smoke maker do you use? ty

[@Milouka]

Awesome video small question since I am trying to build a pc can I use the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600X since I can't find the cpu in the video?

[@kungfoojay]

Still the best PC builder on youtube your edits and they way you structure your video and lighting is amazing im trying to learn myself this is not easy. I have a question Mr. Lee. I want to build a PC for the first time with a 7800x3d but im confused on what motherboard to get i hear a lot of people have issues. Can you recommend me a motherboard combo for the 7800x3d? i would like to maybe overclock when i learn more about the CPU and would like a post code if possible. Thank you!

[@Mr_Matt_Lee]

Thanks so much 😊🙌 Regarding your question… I’ve heard people talking about AMD issues too in the past, yet I’ve personally not experienced any 🫡 that said, I use primarily ASUS as you know, so anything TUF Gaming or Strix would be fine, though I’d definitely go down the route of X670E and stick to two DDR5 Slots as AM5 and 4 slots can be a bit twitchy.

[@kungfoojay]

thank you! @@Mr_Matt_Lee

[@weihsunyang]

cool !

[@theatlasmarvel8818]

I’m interested in this case. As I’m making a new build, what air cooler would fit and be a suitable replacement for the 120mm aio for a 7800x3d?

[@DreamerCze]

With mesh sides especially over the GPU, how was the noise when under load?

[@Zaj88]

Thanks for this show case - almost ASMR 🙂! I'm still a little bit in doubt, as I have the ROG Crosshair Impact VIII Motherboard, which is DTX (re-labeled mini-ITX). The DTX motherboard is the same form factor of mini-ITX, except that it's a little longer in the bottom, where the GPU would normally sit, in order to utilize space underneath a regular fitted GPU. Will this case fit a Mini-DTX motherboard like the ROG Crosshair Impact VIII for AM4? Your efforts are much appreciated, thank you!

[@difosfor]

Wait, the tape around the box reads "Breekbaar"; are you from or living in the Netherlands? Cool! Thanks for the nice videos 👍
