Downsizing to fit a NH-D15S in a SFF chassis: Minichariot Z-2 from the NR200P
Hello all (again)!
Recently, I have gotten the urge to downsize from the NR200P (18.5L), but at the same to also fit a Noctua NH-D15S with a big GPU in a new case. The Sliger S620 (16.2L) would seem like a good option, but with shipping, it would cost about 360 USD, then I came across the Minichariot Z-2 (15.8L), and it does seem to fit my requirements and I bought it.
Yes, there are options to purchase the wonderful side panel extensions made for the NR200 by u/Keleche (do support him!), but thing to note for MSI and Gigabyte B550I users, the mod will most probably not work for the NH-D15, even without the mod on hand, but I might be wrong. The offset/higher AM4 socket and the total width of the heatsink is right up against the metal frame (the top removable bar, where the side mounting clips are to be. And the top panel doesn't close). If anyone needs more info, PM me and I will share pictures and my findings.
TLDR; the Minichariot Z-2 offers good CPU cooler height clearance (160mm), GPU clearance, alright thermals, but wanting to fit a NH-D15S in it will require some compromises due to it's width.

First and foremost, if anyone is interested; the case specifications (translated by me):
**Specifications**
* Dimensions: 345mm (L) x 185mm (W) x 247mm (H)
* Volume: 15.8L
* Case material: Steel Frame/Body, three 1.5mm Aluminum Side/Top/Front Panels, one 3mm Tempered Glass side PanelCPU Cooler Height: up to 160mm
* Motherboard: ITX/DTX/MATX (no longer than 22cm)
* Front Fan Support:1x 120mm or 140mm
* Back Fan Support: 1x 120mm
* Top Fan Support: 1x 120mm
* Bottom Fan Support: 2x 120mm
* GPU: up to 3 slots
* GPU Support (Using SFX PSU): 330mm x 142mm x 64mm
* GPU Support (Using 16 cm length ATX PSU): 240mm x 142 mm x 64mm
* GPU Support (Using 14 cm length ATX PSU): 260mm x 142 mm x 64mm
* Radiator Support: 120mm/140mm/240mm/280mm (if using ATX PSU, 240mm/280mm not supported)
* Hard Drive Support (using SFX PSU): up to 4x 2.5inch drives , 2x 3.5 inch drives
* Hard Drive Support (using ATX PSU): up to 4x 2.5inch drives onlyI/O: 2x USB 3.0, Audio & Microphone jacks
**Recommended Configurations** (not mine, these are marketing pictures)
* [Configuration 1](https://imgur.com/C8FfdnR): 160mm CPU Cooler, ATX PSU, 4x 2.5 drives
* [Configuration 2](https://imgur.com/nZXRjXc): 160mm CPU Cooler, SFX PSU, 4x 2.5 drives, 2x 3.5 drives
* [Configuration 3](https://imgur.com/R8aQB1B): 120/140mm AIO, SFX PSU, 4x 2.5 drives
* [Configuration 4](https://imgur.com/LavYU67): 240/280mm AIO, SFX PSU, 4x 2.5 drives
On first glance, 240/280mm AIO rads are not ideal at all cause the fans are right up against the TG. Config 2 would probably be the go to configuration for most users, as the usage of an ATX PSU will limit the GPU length by way too much and I don't really have much experience or read much about 120/140mm AIOs.

outwardly damaged. I also realized that I don't have pictures of the empty case and throughout the build process, but will be typing it out. I have settled on doing a configuration similar to Config 2, wind tunnel (front to back) build with 140mm fan as front intake, CPU cooler as exhaust, although the PSU pretty much blocks out the air flow but the marketing material indicates the front fan is mainly for PSU cooling.
**Transferring of the parts/Building in the Z-2** (that I found out the hard way while building):
Overall, the case is easy enough to build in, with the top, side panels are removable, making easy access to the internals of the case but fitting in the GPU was not as easy as the NR200 as I was pretty much spoilt by the fact that the bottom panel and frames of the NR200 can be removed. Front panel has to be removed first, before the other panels can be. This is also what keeps the panels in place on a whole, but if you tap on the panels, it does feel and sound shaky, but are firmly in place.
One of the biggest thing/issue is that the MSI B550I board's AM4 socket location is a POS. It doesn't allow the NH-D15S to be mounted, as the cooler will be too high. Thankfully I was able to get the ASUS B550I board on a good deal and quickly, within the same day.NH-D15S is the probably the main issue of the build, more specifically, it's width, on hindsight. It doesn't allow the 120mm fan or any 2.5inch drives to be mounted on the top spot. A NH-U12A or smaller heatsink might have fit with the MSI board, with a slim fan mounted on top. I had the NH-D15S and industrialppc fans lying around, so I just used what I have. 3x 120mm fans on the cooler, with the 140mm from the NH-D15S in the front as intake. Probably not the most optimal, but looks kinda did overtake functionality.
Also, the D15S impedes power plug placement inside the case, now it is pretty much a pigtail style, which initially turned me off from the Sliger S620, if one wanted to fit a wider GPU. Oh the irony.
The installation process I took was CPU/Motherboard, PSU, PSU cables, Rear Exhaust fan, GPU, Front Intake fan, CPU Cooler, lastly management of the cables. Not much issues other than the fitment of the heatsink needs to be last and the compromises to be done.Cable management is surprisingly alright, granted smaller volume. I was able to hide most of the fan cables on the back side, behind the PSU. Even though the cable management is still not the best but not terribly terribad. Also, custom cables by [DreamBigbyRay](https://www.etsy.com/shop/DreambigByRay) helped a ton.

Then I had the stupid idea to zip tie mount a slim noctua fan on the top panel, as intake, although it might be interfering with the 140mm at the front, will be testing prolong use of it, and maybe switching to exhaust.

**Things to note:**
* The case doesn't come with any instructions, all the 'instructions' are pretty much the media pictures on the Taobao shopfront.
* Mounting options are delivered in a separate brown box, individually packed, labelled only in Mandarin.
* SFX PSU has two mounting options, default layout is in configuration 2.
* Mounting the SFX PSU in the other configuration will make the front fan unmountable.
* GPU support is up to 3 slots, which is fantastic, and most full length GPUs. One of the marketing materials/videos is that it can fit 'all' 3000 series Nvidia RTX cards, which might be true (excluding the water cooled ones?)
* Dust filter is only for the bottom, and not space for bottom mounted intake fans if

your GPU is more than 2 slots, even slim fans. With the MSI 3080 Gaming X Trio, there is pretty much only less than 10mm of space. The 3rd slot is pretty much as close as possible to the base of the case already.
* Mounting the top fan requires usage of the mounting plate, which is also used for the 240/280mm AIO fans mounting. Also, if you want to mount the top fan, you can't mount 2.5inch drives, as the fan mounts utilize the SSD mounting hardware.
* Mounting the 2x 3.5inch HDDs or the rad mounts will also not allow the usage of the front mounted fan.
**Thermals (Average):**
Ambient temps: 32CCPU Idle Temperatures: 50CGPU Idle Temperatures: 45CTimeSpy benchmarks: GPU: 65C CPU: 66C (78C during CPU test, peak of 79C)Cinebench R23 (Multi-Core Test): CPU: 79C
In essence, GPU and CPU temps are actually comparable to my previous build in the NR200P, which are all acceptable to me. As per last time, the GPU was undervolted. CPU is in PBO with OC (-25 on all cores, except best 2 which are on -15, +100Mhz, PPT 120 TDC 80 EDC 120). PBO seems alright stable for now, but still tweaking. Heat from the GPU does vent out from the side panel quite effectively, or rather, I can feel the heat coming out during the benchmarks.
More details regarding the NR200P in vertical GPU with the Tempered Glass panel can be found on my [previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/kcxfw9/update_nr200p_5800x_msi_3080_gaming_x_trio/)!
**Noise:**
Same as last time, this isn't any scientific test, and it was tested with just an app on my mobile phone. As per the previous post, my standing fan is the main contributor to the noise (at 55db) in my room, and in serious gaming sessions, headphones will be used. Although, the Industrial Noctuas are insanely loud at max compared to the Lian Li UNI SL120s, at max but with way more CFM and mm H2O, noise is still around 55db.
**Price Point:**
The total price I paid for the chassis and shipping was around 100 USD, granted that I am based in South East Asia, where shipping times and cost will most likely be faster and shipping. It sure helps that I am able to read Mandarin and order directly from Taobao, rather than go through a 3rd party as well.
**Next steps:**
* Looking for taller case feets to see if mounting two slim noctuas at the bottom outside of the case will be helpful or not to the GPU temps. Why do case manufacturers decide on the round feets most of the time.
* Flipping the top fan to be exhaust for testing.
* Dust filter for the front intake.
\*\*Conclusion:\*\*The Noctua NH-D15(S) is pretty much the thing one has to fit around and compromise things for, if one wanted to fit it in the Z-2 or in most SFF cases. A smaller in width CPU heatsink like the U12A or Fuma 2 would be great for the case.
Other than that, in my totally unprofessional opinion/review, the case on a whole is good with good CPU cooler and GPU compatibility. The Sliger S620 might be a better build process and quality, at 3 times the price though.
It was quite a fun process to be tearing down the NR200P and shoving different stuff into another SFF case, even though it is only a 2.7L decrease in volume, but with a NH-D15S cramped into it, until something smaller or more attractive appears that can fit the NH-D15. Or maybe when Cooler Master ever decides to make revisions to the NR200, for more space optimization and to fit a bigger CPU air cooler, as the width of the Z-2 and NR200 are pretty much the same.
Don't get me wrong, I love the NR200(P) still.
Revisions that I would like Minichariot to do the case in their Z-3 would be both sides with solid panels that have perforations on the full panel. Taller case feet. Better QC as the panels have imperfections on the inside. Slightly sturdier locking mechanisms.I think that the Z-2 is a pretty alright case. Looks premium enough and good (subjective), performs alright in thermals, for a reasonable price point that is TG and 1.5cm aluminum panels. Size wise, 15.8L is still fairly large for a SFF for some, but it's just nice for me, for the hardware that it can

Many thanks to u/izuanhezri for making the first (in the subreddit?) post of the case and their build, and that really helped me out in the build conceptualization process. Do check out his post (link below) as my pictures are terribad in comparison.

Blackridge with 9 delta fans @ 12000 RPM max to keep 5900x cool
https://preview.redd.it/z3tcym7ziim61.jpg?width=3921&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f75b09ae78339522c426bed6f4783d59a0a7578f
Glued 9 delta fans (4cm × 10mm) and mounted to blackridge (47mm) with strings. Fits in 60 mm clearance case. Another 92mm fan mounted under the cooler. Delta fans keep 10% RPM until 45℃ and reach full speed at 75℃.
\-Thermal: RT 20℃, continuous CB20 run package temp 86℃, package power 187W as shown in HWMonitor.
\-Noise: 35 dB idle and 73.5 dB full speed, 0.5m from delta fans.
\-Aesthetics: I'll leave it like that for now since it looks ok with the side panel on.
