Picked up a NZXT H6 Flow RGB as I switched up to an AM5 build with a 7800x3D, what a joy this case was to build in and I just love the angled airflow approach, some really nice temps so far. It's a pretty new release so hopefully helpful for some people who may be interested in seeing it.

Last PC I bult was a decade ago :eek:...

Nothing fancy, just a stealthy ITX build. :) Spec: P200A with 5800X3D, RTX4070, 32GB DDR4, 1TB M.2 - only thing I need to add is an exhaust fan, only just switched everything to this case yesterday.

Previous build in NZXT H1 V2, too hot, noisy and difficult IO access... I wanted NR200P, but my GPU is too long. :/

Not my cup of tea tbh, I prefer tower setup for the ease, performance and better IO access. Not 100% happy with the P200A, but got it for £20 off marketplace from some YouTube reviewer. I was planning on going with the NR200, but my GPU is too long... :/

Yer I can understand it’s not for everyone, what where the temps like with that card? Did it cope well?

The one I built only had a 3060 inside of it so nothing on the hot side

Thanks mate, full build log here if you're interested. Tubing is the last thing to arrive so once that comes i'll be assembling the lot together.
Oh yes! Will take a look at the build log! Never done water cooling like that, only ever used AIO coolers! So tempted to start another build! One expensive hobby but love it! Haha

Sure is mate, luckily been in this long enough to accumulate enough parts that i can keep reusing.

It was toasty and no matter how much I fiddled with the fan curve it was still loud.

That Heatkiller block looks way better than my EK block I wish they had that out at launch, looks vey nice ;)

Unfortunately Watercool is always slow to release blocks at launch, usually within a few months but still by that time most people have ordered from EK or Alphacool.

I had more choice cos i was late in buying the 4090 FE so availability was plenty.

I thought I would add in here. Just bought all the parts and built it a couple of days ago so excuse the cables etc. Thanks to a couple of forum members in here for their advice on this one as IO was well out of the loop for specs:

AMD Ryzen 7800X3D
Sapphire Radeon RX7900 XTX Nitro+ Vapor-X
ASUS TUF Gaming B650-Plus Wifi
Corsair Vengeance EXPO 32GB DDR5
Thermaltake ToughPower PF3 1050W ATX 3.0
NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB
MSI Spatium M480 Pro 1TB SSD
MSI Spatium M480 Pro 2TB SSD

All wrapped up in a ASUS TUF GT501 case







Had a couple of niggles when installing but all working ok.

CPU idles @ 32oC.
GPU idles @ 23oC

Not put anything major on it to stress either of them yet but I think those temps are ok? (been over a decade since I built a PC). Should be able to handle most things at decent settings I hope

I will be updating the desk at some point as, again, this one is now around 15 years old :o

Streacom DA2 v2 with an i3 Asus ROG B760i motherboard, this will be a general purpose PC unless the 4070's are discounted next week!

Build was easy because the two side panels lift off and this is a big ITX case compared to others.

I was considering the NCASE M1 EVO or the FormD T1 but could never get lucky with stock, the NR200 was my backup until these DA2 units were on sale before Christmas.
