NCORE 100 MAX Bronze (UK)

Lovely litter case back. Unfortunately, had to return it the 2 screws to undo to extend the case out. When was almost impossible to undo? And the other one just would not undo whatsoever.

This case was easy to setup and looks nice. However there is a slight buzz from either the water block pump or a fan (other users have said the same). This goes away if the CPU gets put under load. I would also add that the radiator cabling is pretty snug as it approaches the cpu in terms of closeness to the ram. Apart from that it's a good case with just a few minor flaws. Value for money wise I didn't pay the full original price - if it had been full price I probably would have been slightly disappointed.

Built in for a friend, is quite striking looking and while not to my tastes they love it, building in it was pretty easy.

So the case is a dream to work in Everything from the tool less layout to the cables being pre ran it was so easy The aio which is built in is nice too But the fans are dreadful. Some of the worst fans on the market loud, they click, doesn’t help with cooling the aio. Replaced them for some arctic p12s which has made the pc leaps and bounds quieter and cooler

Mixed feelings about this case. I really want to like it. The mitx tower style makes a minimal footprint on a desk. Some people's observations about the excessive noise from the PSU fan may be valid, but aren't an issue for me. Given the style of the case and it's panel fitment, build quality is an issue. The two panels don't fit properly in the default case config, with the front panel being the worse of the two. There is a significant gap between the panel and the chassis where the lower retaining pin won't clip into place The base of the chassis was also noticeably bent. I thought this might be responsible for the poor fitting panel and ordered a second case while awaiting my refund for the first. A replacement case was worse with the rear panel barely clipped in as I removed it from the packaging. The bent chassis was not at fault, instead it seems that the panels are formed with a less than 90 angle, and won't sit properly on the chassis as a result. If you are willing to rearrange the case for it's "extended mode" both panels will clip in securely and there are no significant gaps left between the panels and the case chassis.

I cannot recommend this. I accept the general wisdom from owners on the internet that the included fans, in particular the PSU fan, are poor. That doesn't bother me. Its the case constuction. A two piece shell with a not 90 degree angle held in place bny clips and pins that simply don't hold up under tension once they're clipped in. This is the second unit that has failed on me in this way. Furthermore, Coolermaster though intially engaging with me, were of no help. Purchases in June 2025. Zero support by January 2026. Avoid it.
