Anyone know if a Cryorig H7 ultra would be better than a noctua nh-L12S on a 5600x? Ideally would like a tower cooler to squeeze out some more performance and show off the ram a bit more but when I had a u9s it was worse than the L12S by a considerable amount. So gave up on tower coolers at the time. Using the TG panel btw.

The H7 has been known to not work great with the Ryzen CPUs. Have you considered the Scythe Mugen 5? That fits with the tempered glass panel for the majority of builds, leaves room for the 25mm fans up top, and leaves a clear line of sight to the RAM.

I’ve heard rumours of this, some reporting great temps but others reporting problems like you say. Don’t suppose anyone knows why this is?

thanks for the mugen 5 recommendation though, will take a look!

I have the Mugen 5 black edition. The standard Mugen 5 produces better performance due to it not being painted black.

Is there any 2 Tower Cooler with 2x 120x25mm Fan that fit in the NR200 with TG Panel?
I have the Asus B550-I Board and the Fuma 2 right now, but i would like to have 2x 25mm Fans on the Cooler.

Flipping the Fuma 2..

looks really cool and massive but ... provides the heatpipes touching my RAM

and therefore this is not a solution for me.

Just moved my build from a Ghost S1 case to an NR200 - definitely a noticeable difference in the size but the improvements to noise & thermals has 100% justified it. Really happy with how it turned out as well! Potentially a bit overkill on the number of brown fans...

I had issues with a H7 Quad Lumi + Ryzen, the issue I had was due to the Ryzen IHS being flat and the cold plate of the cooler having a convex bow to it, it effectively meant that the top half of the CPU (when socketed, right half when viewing text) made zero contact with the cooler. Unfortunately on my 3600 that is the part of the IHS that is directly over the primary heat source/chiplet.

The gap at the top edge was comfortably over 1mm.

I saw someone in the states tried using a Vetroo U6 which is dual tower, on the Aorus B550i, that fit with no issues in terms of clearances for TG as it is 152mm tall.

Here's what he said on fitment issues - Basically that low profile RAM is needed:

I use an Idcooling se224 with 2 x 120mm fans.

Hey all,
Just hoping I can get a sanity check on my build before I go ahead.

Case: NR200
CPU: AMD 5900X
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12A
Mobo: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro
GPU: Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity
etc

CPU operating as exhaust (or intake with a dust filter attached).
2x top fans exhaust A12x25
2x bottom fans intake NF-A12x15.

My main concern are thermals.
Will I have any issues?

Thanks heaps

I would put the U12A as intake but consider deshrouding ur 3090 trinity

I have my 3080 FTW3 deshrouded and zip tied A12x25 on it as an intake and it works beautifully.

Awesome thanks!

Do you run the A12s on the GPU headers?

You could. But i ran a Aquacomputer Octo as I’ve always been a fan for their products.

What is the max size of fan that can be mount on the back?
Is it 92mm or could I mount bigger one?
Like for rear exhaust fan.

92mm.
You might want to consider not mounting one if you have a much bigger fan in front of it. e.g. I don't mount a 92mm at that spot when I have an intake U12A directly next to it to minimise turbulence turbulence.

I wish my cable management was that nice

280mm AIO makes that nigh on impossible.

Whats the best air cooler you can fit with the mesh panel and not worry about ram clearence?

It'll be between the C14S, U12A and Fuma 2.

BallistixOnZ490 · 22 Jun 2021 at 00:28

Can this case fit:

- A 280mm AIO
- 2 x 3.5" drives
- A regular not too long ATX PSU?

Not really.

A 280mm rad has to go on the side. With a rad on the side, you can't mount a PSU at the front. It may be possible to mount an ATX PSU on the other side (i.e. the SFX position), but this would limit GPU length to maybe 190mm (ish). You might then be able to mount two 3.5" drives on the case floor at the front.

If you need a large GPU as well then the answer is definitely no. There just isn't that sort of room in this case. Even with an SFX PSU, it would be a choice between the radiator or the drives.
