We appreciate the trust of Cooler Master for the transfer of the product for its analysis:

Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 technical characteristics

Unboxing and design

The presentation is very top of the range. Full color box, super well protected and very identifying. In the back we have the same presentation.

When we proceed to open the box we find:

Cooler Master Box MasterCase Pro 3 Instruction Manual Screws and flanges for installation.

The Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 is built with a classic Micro-ATX tower design with dimensions of 235 x 467 x 505 mm (length x width x height) and a weight that reaches 9 Kg, a high figure for a compact chassis that lets us glimpse the high quality of the design and the materials used.

The manufacturer has used high quality plastic on the front and top while the sides are made of the highest quality steel, all with a black finish that gives it a very elegant look.

It is also interesting to note that the upper area of the box is sliding and magnetized. At any time, we can dismantle it without using tools. It is quite useful, since we can have access to the radiator or the fans that we install on the roof of the tower.

The front has a fairly typical design in the brand, we find a multitude of small perforations that have the purpose of allowing the passage of a greater amount of air that will feed the front fans to maximize the air flow inside the equipment, something very Important when mounting high-performance hardware with high requirements for heat dissipation generated.

Cooler Master has placed a large methacrylate window to delight the most hardware fans, we are in a time when it is very difficult for components not to include RGB LED lighting so it would be a shame if we could not see it while the equipment works.

At the top of the front we see the panel with all the connection ports, we have two USB 3.0 ports, the power button and the two 3.5 mm jack connectors for audio and micro. Along with this panel we have a handle to help us transport the equipment in a much more comfortable way. The front includes a dust filter to keep the interior of the equipment much cleaner.

At the back we see the hole for the installation of the power supply at the bottom, the best possible position. We also see five expansion slots and a multitude of perforations in the metal to once again improve equipment airflow and cooling. Cooler Master has included a removable dust filter for the power supply.

Floor view with 4 rubber feet that prevent any vibration on the surface that we install it. Also a filter to remove any lint that would try to enter the power supply. Obviously, it can be easily removed.

Interior and assembly

To access the interior of the chassis we just have to remove the screws with the thumb and remove the side panels, you can also remove the front to access the installation area of the fan and radiators.

On the front we can put two 120/140 mm fans, on the back a 120/140 mm fan and on the top we have the possibility of accommodating two 120/140 mm fans. As we can see is a box with good ventilation possibilities, the manufacturer has included two 140mm fans as standard, one at the front and the other at the rear.

The Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 has also thought about fans of liquid cooling, on the front and on the top we find removable brackets for the installation of radiators, we can put a 280 mm radiator on the front and a 240 mm one on the upper part, more than enough for demanding users.

We see that it is a chassis designed for Micro-ATX motherboards, its generous size allows it to offer a second compartment for optimal cable management and we can also keep the hard drives and power supply further apart from the motherboard and the rest of components to protect them from heat.

We continue with two cages for hard drives in the lower front of the chassis, each of the cages supports both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives so it is quite flexible in this regard and we can combine all the benefits of SSDs and the mechanical discs in the same equipment.

We also find two brackets behind the motherboard for mounting two SSDs, if you want to install a third SSD and both cages are full you can purchase a Slip-and-Clip bracket separately from the Cooler Master store.

The main protagonist of this MasterCase Pro 3 chassis is the manufacturer's FreeForm modular system, this basically consists of a vertical panel that occupies almost the entire height of the main cavity, this panel includes mounting holes for various accessories that we can install. We highlight an accessory to hold the graphics card, mounting brackets for fans and cages for hard drives. In fact we can remove the two hard drive cages attached to the chassis and place them on top of the chassis, although to do this we will first have to move the panel further into the chassis. We also have to take into account that if we add additional cages for hard drives we will reduce the compatibility of the graphics card to 258 mm units.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Cooler Master MasterSet MS120, an attractive mouse and keyboard combo for gaming

We must also highlight the other side of the box. A quality product that allows us to organize all the cabling easily, a good cable management and enough space not to "bulge" our precious box. From 10!

Finally, we leave you some photos of the assembly of the entire team. We have opted for a basic configuration and the result is quite beautiful. Although we can perfectly mount a higher-range motherboard and a GTX 1080 Ti graphics.

Final words and conclusion about MasterCase Pro 3

The Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 is a micro-ATX box that allows us to get the most out of a compact high-end device with excellent cooling and a design that is very pleasing to the eye.

We are very happy to see how they have incorporated two 140 mm fans both in the front and in the rear, achieving a good air flow and lowering the revolutions of each of their fans.

On its compatibility with high-performance components, it allows us to install graphics cards with a length of up to 37 cm, a heatsink with a height of 19 cm and power supplies with a maximum length of up to 20 cm. Seeing this, we did not find any limitation, since it even allows us to install a 240 mm or 280 mm front radiator. Perfect solution!

Undoubtedly, the Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 is one of the best compact boxes on the market on the market. Its sale price in online stores is 99.95 euros and availability is immediate.
