a review of the cool master 200 millimeter case fan now I'm really happy with the case fan it's the perfect fit for the cool master storm enforcer case that I have it is an exact match for the tour two millimeter case fan that comes pre-installed on the front of my case but I was rather shocked the first time I received this and saw how darn big this was again it's the perfect size for this but I was really surprised at how big this thing is was I was expecting a fan that looks more like this this is a hundred and twenty millimeter case fan that comes pre-installed as the 

exhaust fan on this cool master storm enforcer case but when I received this I was thinking wow this thing is big but when you look it is the exact right size to fit the big vent that comes on this case here and now with a bigger fan it doesn't have to spin as fast the heck can have lower rpms and be quieter because it doesn't have to turn as much many times to get as much air flow so this fan here on the back has to work harder than this fan here this can spend fewer times than therefore be more quiet now the red LED light I don't find to be intrusive I couldn't find one that didn't light up so I just accepted it figuring hey it's the same as the front of the case I 

can show you in a separate review of what it looks like with the LED light turned on now other than the size being a surprise and then turning out to be the perfect fit there was a few other things to note as number one is at first I didn't know which way to install it so obviously you can put the put the fan here or flip it over and put it the other way and basically you want to be exhausting air you don't wanna be pushing air down in here you want the processor to be able to push air in and just throw it out of the case you know you want air to come in the front and 

go out here and out here you don't want to be pushing air in here as well so I didn't know which way to put it in until I found the arrows so basically there's some arrows here so do you see the arrows this shows you which direction is exhaust in which way the blades will turn and basically you have these screws here and they'll be able to be installed on either site depending in which way if you flip the fan or not so you'll want to take it pay attention to where those air arrows are so that you install it in the correct direction of their case the other thing is the power cable length so you can just barely see it on on my in here through the translucent plastic you 

see the the wires in the back here so it is long enough to connect from here to the motherboard to the auxiliary fan port down here so this is where my auxiliary fan port is now it is long enough but the thing is it has to cut all the way across the case so it was long enough for me to stretch it all the way down and plug it in down here with a little room to spare like it wasn't overly tight it could make that distance however I didn't want to run it all the way down the front of my board especially with all the other cable management that I've done inside my case so I wanted to run it down the backside so that's how you do cable management as you'll see 

separate separately in my case review for the cool master storm enforcer but basically I wanted to take that wire and you can barely see it it tucks a raid around along with those other three color wires the white cable is this one here and it runs behind there and then it disappears and it literally went out the hole is we can see the last side of it right there as it turns to the left and running it down the back that little extra wrapping wasn't long enough to come back out the front so with cable management you see this hole down here this is where it'll come back out and then come need to connect over here but there's a really easy solution to that basically you 

just get a three wire fan extension cable and I was able to find one quite cheap and so on the backside of the case mmm that wire goes in connects and just connects with a little connector and then connects via the extension cable over already here on the backside of the case we can see what I did here so you see where the wire comes out on the backside runs down and basically it comes around right here and right here is where I connect it to the extension cable which then continues from here so just a three wire fan extend Kable was a pretty cheap 

extension cable and it works just fine so it wasn't long enough for me to run it with with cable management down the back it would have been long enough for me to just literally run it across the front of motherboard but a cheap little extension cable was plenty fine for me to connect it just up and this is the auxiliary thin now installed you'll be able to see it in the top you'll see that the LED light isn't overwhelming to the room it's a little bit more noticeable in the top 

position due to the open vent on the top compared to the rack in the front it's an identical to an emitter meter fan that was back there so I'm really happy with it the LED light is something I wish I could turn off because you can't turn off the LED lights but I think it's the perfect fit for the cool master case

this is a prototype and it's one of the most unique closed-loop liquid coolers we've ever reviewed coolermaster sent us their first engineering sample of a new 200 millimeter closed-loop liquid cooler or a iOS some like to call them and it's built for the mini ITX coolermaster h 100 KS that we saw at Computex technically a cooler like this could also be used to mount to other cases with 200 millimeter fans like the H 500 a more aged 500 cases although the tubes would need to be longer the cooler tries to solve the problem of matching radiators to 200ml case intake fans since most radiators work best with 120 or 140 s and would exhibit worse performance without

 leveraging the full surface area of a 200 fan today we're benchmarking this new cooler on our standardized bench to see if it's any good before that this review is brought to you by Squarespace Squarespace is what we've been using for years to manage our own gamers Nexus store and we've been incredibly happy with the choice Squarespace makes ecommerce easy for 

those interested in starting stores but it also has powerful tools to build all types of websites photo galleries for photographers resume and portfolio sites and small business sites are all easily done through Squarespace having built a lot of client websites the old way before running GN full-time we can easily recommend Squarespace as a powerful fast solution go to 

squarespace.com slash gamers nexus to get 10% off your first purchase with Squarespace two hundred milliliter fans have had an interesting history they kind of got really popular with a half X which we actually in the last couple years retested if you're curious how it does these days but the biggest problem with them was that you know that case came out a couple others came out the Phantom 820 for example and people were liking 200 mil offends but there was no standard everybody decided to make their own standard and when other companies saw that 

and suggested you know we ought to have a mounting hole standard for two hundred milliliter fans they then went off and made a new standard to try and standardize all the standards and ended up with one more so that was the biggest problem with 200s back in the day and it still is today as they've come back with the likes of the age 500 P and then the follow up dates 500 P mesh the age 500 M the age 500 not to be confused with the age 500 and the hole spacing here none of these line up you for every case that has the hole spacing for this you can get one screw 

in for this and so to get this to work on the 200 mil Coolermaster CLC we had to use clamps which is obviously not useful for real-world but it's fine for seeing yeah how does this one do versus the CM fan the ms200 r and we tested both this one screws and completely this one you have to jury-rig but it'll work and end result is well it sort of reiterates the long-standing issue that there's no standard for fan hole placement on 200 but what we get to see here is a pretty unique cooler that tries to solve an old problem which is those cases the ones with two hundreds in the front like that faint up there if you have a CLC that you want to install in the case you 

either have to put in the top which maybe you can't for some reason clearance whatever or you put it in the front at which point you should basically remove the two hundreds which are probably why you bought the case and then instead put in the CLC that takes up half of the front surface area it looks kind of weird and off-center and uses 120 or 140 s but if you mounted the CLC to a 200 fan and it's built for 120 s in 140 s it'll perform really poorly like extraordinarily bad 200 s have issues with static pressure they're large they spin slowly they're not really meant to push air through a bunch of tiny fins so that's all the problems and color maps just trying to solve it with the CLC 200 unit that we reviewed they don't have a name for 

it as of today it's so prototype right now that we don't know what it's going to be called we don't know if it'll ever be sold stand-alone basically right now they're planning to sell only with the H 100 and the bundle price of the H 100 ITX case and the CLC 200 as I'm calling which is actually not bad it'll probably come with that Coolermaster fan too so that's the that's the story if you want one of these post a comment below if you don't want it post one below as well and what I say if you want I mean standalone like not in that case but just completely standalone do you want one color master is going to be reading the comments so if either way on this cooler let them know if you want it or not as a standalone unit because that'll 

just help dictate if they actually bring it to market outside of the Mini ITX case so let's get into that data we're gonna do some LPM test as well four linear feet per minute air flow testing and we'll talk about noise things like that talk about which of the two pans is better and then try to come to some kind of conclusion we'll start with noise normalized testing as always this is important for helping us establish cooler efficiency from one to the next as best flatout thermal performance will always be awarded to the fastest and noisiest cooler at least with the fans that are at higher rpms like some of EVGA s users don't typically run fans at full bore when they're 

at for example 60 DBA like the CLC 360 is at full speed and so we normalize the fan speeds to a 40 DBA noise level on all coolers for testing at a more reasonable volume this controls a variable such that the coolers are more directly comparable rather than just looking at kind of a selection of maxout coolers doesn't really mean a whole lot when you don't know what the noise levels are the downside is that we chose 40 DBA for coolers based on smaller fan designs like 120 or 140 which typically spend faster and louder we made the cutoff thinking that two hundred millimeter based coolers would never really be a thin or at least if it became one we'd figure it out when we got to it because two hundred millimeter fans are so quiet on average we 

can show a previous chart of our 200 millimeter knocked over it says Coolermaster review we can't get the coolermaster 200 millimeter CLC up to 40 DBA we did get it close ish at 37 to 37.4 DBA or so by mounting 2cm fans to it in a push-pull configuration anyway with this obvious disadvantage of only getting to 37 DBA out of the 40 DB a target for noise normalized thermals the CM 200 millimetres CLC still ended up at about thirty eight point seven degrees Celsius delta T over ambient which puts it at roughly the same level as the Corsair H 159 pro with its similarly noise limit advanced the H 115 I Pro didn't have good fans on it to start and focused 

more on noise which ended up landing it lower on this chart so this see m200 cooler for being quieter than the others on what's supposed to a noise normalized chart really didn't do too bad here for flat-out thermal results at full speed the Coolermaster 200 CLC landed at forty point five degrees celsius delta T over ambience when using the knock to a fan or forty three point seven degrees when using the cooler master MF 200 are even splitting the difference that puts the two hundred millimeter CLC at around the performance of EVGA is 120 CLC when it was at 2500 rpm that's a deafening of fifty three point nine DBA as compared to the Noctua and 

CM fan range of maybe 33 to 35 DBA and it's not distant in performance the CM 200 that is from the 240 millimeter X 52 at a medium fan speed comparing to the crack in X 40 to 140 millimeter CLC with the fan speed maxed which runs at forty eight point six DBA the CM 200 ends up roughly adjacent to this one when running the nock to a fan as both are at about forty point five to forty point six degrees Celsius over ambience yet the nock to SCM combination runs closer to 33 DBA that's a massive at noise level reduction over 2 times the perceives and noise to the human ear not the same as acoustic power but a massive change and it's noticeable 

in use when compared to the X 42 at its max fan speed and the two get the same thermal performance on one hand a two hundred radiator is producing the same performance as a one forty pump and radiator combo just like the CM is a pump rad combo but not by ASA tech but on the other hand the fan makes all the difference and the noise levels are much lower on the cooler master unit as for the push-pull performance it's typically not worth running coolers in 
push-pull because the value dips so hard but the cooler master unit ends up at around H one hundred I pro performance when Corsairs two forty millimeter CLC is at full speed and uses a manual paste spread also in range of the 38.7 degrees results is the crack in X 52 at full speed 

another 240 cooler at thirty seven point three degrees Celsius over ambient that's not bad for the cooler master unit all things considered it's still not practical except in a few cases and specifically the H 100 as actually because of the short tube length but it's amusingly competitive with 240 millimeter CLC's and raw thermals noise levels will depend on the fan chosen for this one if running with the H 100 stock fan the MF 200 are the cooler ends up at roughly 34 DBA when measured at a 20 inch distance that puts it around the same noise levels as the other coolers when their fan RPMs are cut down significantly like the EVGA CLC 120 at less than 

half its full fan speed or the coarser h 100 IV 2 at just 10 50 rpm as a point of reference we previously tested the linear feet per minute flow of the NOx with 200 fan and the CM RGB 205 we won't go through all that testing methodology again here today there's a separate piece on that you can watch or read that will link below but the recap is that Noctua fans have always pushed more air than the Coolermaster fan when you're comparing the two 200 millimeter fans specifically to each other and the two have roughly the same fan speed curve with the same rough maximum fan speed so this is pretty close to a one-to-one comparison it's not always significant but the 423 0.5 fpm flow versus 378 starts to stack up at the max rpm of each fan 

this is why we saw those differences that we did when running Maddux fans beats interestingly in our previous testing with these fans we did not measure a thermal difference as a result of the uplift in linear feet per minute flow but we also tested them in a case last time one of the aged 500 mesh cases since 200 millimeter radiators didn't exist so ultimately we became bound by the limitations of the chassis and going forward if we want to test 200 millimeter fans specifically this radiator seems like a perfect fit for it and we better illustrate the differences although those don't necessarily extrapolate to equivalents in cases as we've learned they would be useful for more static pressure bouncing Aereo's we also had a previous result with the two 

fans and always normalized through the panel in that 2017 content where we saw the nocta a 200 fan and it's higher static pressure performance benefitting the results always landing ahead at 34 point 5 DB a normalized 33 and 31 DB a normal through the panel testing that we did in that previous content so that's cooler masters 200 Mills CLC it's actually really interesting it's not bad it's it's hard also to be super critical on something that's a prototype engineering sample so for example with the one we're working with there was no manual yet the mounting hardware was it was not perfect but it's an engineering sample we don't know what it's gonna 

look like retail and it's probably mostly gonna be done for you retail because coming in the case and then for the rest of it things like standard coolermaster mounting is used for the same as their Mirage series CLC's we don't really like that mounting bracket system but you only ever fight with it once and that it's on there and it's not terrible really it's just less efficient than an ASA tech one so the cooler itself does sort of surprisingly well we thought it would be really bad because if you think about it it's a giant radiator and it's fairly dense fins but it's not the densest 

we've seen and then you're using a fan that's just generally well more in the case of this one bad hit me in the face pushing pushing air through a bunch of fins static pressures not great on these huge slow fans but it did really well in spite of all that and ends up in the range of max at 140 or at much quieter noise always mind you or 240ml CLC with slower fan like medium speed fans as we showed so that's it for this one let us know what you think and let 
coolermaster know if you want one stand alone if you got a stand alone it would need longer tubes but they're aware of that.
