In this case, as well. It has a lot of. This is my new setup. There were only two fans with the case when it arrived. No power to the front fan. However, you make an excellent case!
Yes, it will work with the noctua nh- d15 with a 140mm fan, but a 15 mm thickness is required for the rear exhaust fan.
Most mitx and matx boards should be able to fit into standard ATX cases.
The "Cooler Master" brand can be found on the case fans that come with the product.
Selected User Reviews For Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 ATX Mid-Tower with Front Mesh Ventilation, Minimal Design, Tempered Glass Side Panel and Single Headset Jack
I have the new revision of this case, which has one side of the hard drive rack secured with screws rather than rivets, allowing one side to be easily removed (see my video). This case is referred to as V2 in my user manual. 0 2019- This was crucial for me because I have a non-working computer. PC Power Supply 750W Modular Power supply cooling It has an absurd number of non-removable connectors. After removing one side of the hard drive rack, I was able to pack them away without difficulty. br>br>Even the rest of it is simple to work with. I installed six silent NoiseBlocker 120mm case fans, as well as a Noctua 120mm CPU cooler fan, to make the cooling system as quiet as possible. Even with the super quiet 16db fans, the airflow is nothing short of incredible. An 8-inch by 11-inch sheet. The front of the mesh will be magnetized by 5x11 printer paper. For those who are unhappy with the bottom front 120mm fan's installation. Standard self-tapping fan screws are not to be used. Instead of mounting the fan from the back of the case, CoolerMaster provides specific mounting pieces. This is depicted in the user manual's section 7, picture 2. To be honest, I wish I could have mounted all of the fans that way; it's a lot easier than using self-tapping screws. br>br>If you don't want to buy RGB fans, there is also plenty of space to install feet upon feet of USB RGB strips. Because my motherboard lacks an RGB header and I was looking for a way to save money, I did just that. Buy this case because there are none better for the money that have this much cooling capacity and are so simple to work with.
Unless you're using a power supply with a lot of juice. This is a case that I really like. The quality of the materials and construction is excellent. The cable management is well-thought-out, which I appreciate. br>br>The size of the PSU bay is my only gripe. I have a 1300w EVGA PSU that won't fit in the PSU bay unless the side of the HDD enclosure is removed. Drilling out four rivets is the only way to remove the HDD enclosure's side. I've had the same issue with less expensive cases, but I expected Cooler Master to come up with a more elegant solution. It would have been a lot simpler to fix if the bays had been secured with screws. The second issue is that there is no other place to mount a HDD once the side of the HDD bay is removed. With a little force, I was able to mount the HDD vertically near the top right corner of the case. br>br>To solve this problem, all that is required is screwing down the HDD bay and drilling some alternate HDD mounting positions. Granted, few people have such a large power supply. But there are a few of us who fall into this category.
On a personal and professional level, I've been building computers for a long time. I've worked with a half-dozen other Cooler Master cases in the past and generally like the brand, so I was hoping to use this one to house some leftover hardware and use it as a secondary streaming box. The NR600 was within my budget and appeared to have some unique features not found elsewhere in this price range. The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>b
- Stunning tempered glass side panel that is incredibly simple to remove and work withbr>- Back panel is easy to access and has plenty of room for cabling. br>- Great airflow, with room for four 120mm fans and two 140mm fans on the top.

- The entire bottom, including the mounting area for the power supply as well as the 3. RIVETED IN is a 5" HDD cage. This case had the potential to be one of the best in its price range, but it was ruined for me because of this. Not only does this severely limit the size of power supply you can fit in this case because it has to be slid in from the side, but it also makes working with 3. 5" HDDs and front fan mounting are extremely difficult; in most cases, the HDD case is removable, allowing you to mount your drives outside the case and then reinstall the cage with the drives in place. Not here. The entire mount is impervious to movement and sealed inside the case's bottom. If you happen to have larger hands, good luck finding a small enough screw driver. This makes the space practically unusable. The HDD cage should, at the very least, be screw-removable, and it would have been a plus if the power supply area could also be accessed (although rivets are more common here).
- Installation of an SSD - They have a strange "pin" system that they use. They're half-pin, half-thumb screw, with rubber gaskets and pressure to keep them in place. I've never seen anything like it in my life, and it irritates me greatly. Once you've mounted your drives, there's a good chance they'll move around due to the strange screw-like attachments. Pins do not hold them securely in place. These blunder-prone individuals pin- Things are strewn about the case in large quantities. Cooler Master should not have tried to reinvent the wheel in this case, as they ended up hurting the design more than helping it. br>br>Overall, for $60-$70, this is a great deal. It's a good case for someone who is 65 years old. It looks great with RGB fans, has great airflow, and is very accessible thanks to the beautiful glass and back panels. The pin, on the other hand, This case was killed for me by the screw system and the excessive use of rivets rather than screws. As a result, I'm not going to buy another one. br>br>**NOTE**: Based on the reviews, it appears that there is a newer version of this case that uses screws to fix the case's major flaw. I find it extremely disappointing that Amazon is selling both versions of this case, and you should be aware that purchasing it here is essentially gambling with your money. My girlfriend spent an extra $10 on the Lian Li Lancool 215 case at the same time I bought this one, and it's incredible. If you have an extra $10 to spare, it's a far superior case that's easier to work in, has more fans, and doesn't use rivets. Avoid this Cooler Master unit at all costs.
This is where I built my new Ryzen 3600X system, and it was mostly a pleasure to work in. There are plenty of cable management options, including tie-ins. There are down points strewn across the back of the motherboard tray, as well as mounts for three 3. It's fantastic to have five-inch drives in front of the power supply. They even provide you with tool-free drive cage rails. If you buy some better fans to mount in front of it, the mesh front does an excellent job of keeping temperatures down. During a torture test with the case open, my CPU reached 71 degrees Celsius, but only 74 degrees Celsius when the case was closed and three Noctua fans were installed in the front. br>br>Overall, this is a great-looking case at an excellent price, but it does have a few flaws. The included fans are a complete waste of money, so budget for some better ones. For the time being, I'm stuck with a clicky rear exhaust fan because I didn't expect both of them to be so bad. The drive cage in front of the power supply is another source of irritation for me: It's affixed to the wall by rivets. This makes installing the PSU a pain, and screwing in the bottom 120mm fan is nearly impossible. br>br>After all is said and done, this case is one of my favorites. You can't go wrong for 70 dollars, especially if you want a stylish ATX case with a lot of 3. Airflow is excellent thanks to the 5" drive mounts.
