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.

Yea only thing my Phanteks Enthoo case lacks is triple slot for GPU, and the rest of the newer triple slot ITX cases lack the rest of the expansion options.

Not sure lack of options is the problem with the NR200. You simply want to put more than 18L of stuff inside an 18L case

It'll manage an SFX PSU, 280mm radiator and two (possibly even 3) 2.5" drives.

Yep, sounds like you need an mATX case not mITX @BallistixOnZ490 !
Each one of your requirements is a big comprimise on an ITX case on their own, combining all 3 with a triple slot GPU is just pushing your luck too far I think. There may be a case that can deal with all of that, but it's going to be bigger than what would normally be considered an ITX case.

Actually going to look into setting up my Raid 1 externally instead.

Or the thing is I actually don't *need* a triple slot GPU, that being if I ever can find an FE.

Have managed to find a 3070 ti, I ran a 3070 on a sf600 will I need to upgrade to a 750w? Has anyone used the atx psu adapter yet?

Plenty of builds using a 3080 and a SF600 without issue. Unless you are heavily overclocking, you should be fine.

~~Managed to grab the Sakura edition of this case, arriving Friday but won't be building till Sunday. Changing from an Enthoo Evolv ITX which I've only had a few months.~~

EDIT: RM850i won't fit

Had to cancel the order

Hello there, first post here. I plan on having a NR200p with a 5800x in it as well as a Midnight Black 6800 XT.
My only concern is the CPU cooler, I cannot decide between the C14s, the NH-U12A or the Scythe Fuma 2. I won't overclock the cpu and use it for gaming and little intensive work.
Last but not least I have a B550 I ASUS ROG Strix Mobo and I read that the NH-U12A would not fit with the vented panel, can someone confirms this ?

Thanks for reading me guys !

Are you using the vented side panels? If so, then C14S.

If not and you want glass, then go for a tower style one.

Joba · 24 Jun 2021 at 09:31

Yes I'm gonna use the vented ones, thanks for your suggestion, helped me choosing the c14s.

Hi all.
First post.

I'm a NR200P owner. Have run it both with an EK AIO and currently with a Be Quiet TF.

Thinking about some moding though. I've seen a few vertical stand setups. Love the look of the new Meshlicious BUT my fear is that it can only fit 2 fans (either attached to a rad or up front in combo with a small air cooler)

Is it ridiculous to think that a slim fan could be mounted in the front panel, in a vertical stand style, after having a similar hole pattern (to the side panel) drilled? Professionally of course. But man would that be interesting to do.
Then I could go back to the AIO setup.

Any thoughts?

Hi all!

Finally managed get all parts for my first pc.
Can you flip hyper 212 black edition on 5600x so fans are south-north (exhausting up) rather than east-west. I have seen this on optimumtech yt video on intel. Any adapter? Even if there is no temp difference I want to find out. Thanks

I don't think there's any issue mounting it up/down as apposed to left/right. Test both. I'm betting that exhausting it towards another exhaust fan will have the best impact for longer gaming session as less hot air will get trapped in the case.

Also, push pull looks cool on the 212 and does help a bit. Here's a vid for you. https://youtu.be/oo69u4A6qto
Might need some mounting wizardry if you have large Ram.

I’m sure you can with intel but not sure about amd socket as distance between mounting screws isn’t even. More like a rectangle (amd) rather than square (intel)

I think it works for both AMD or Intel options. Check out the 1:00 mark of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx0LUq1mjVo&t=65s

Sorry but you are not helping. This is 4 years old video with previous generation of hyper 212. They have different mounting system now https://youtu.be/TSbW-UcLS-g 3:33. That’s why I’m asking if there is a way of flipping the cooler or buying different bracket?

Hey. Sorry. My bad. You're right I didn't do enough research before posting.
Looking at this video..

I can clearly see the new mounting style.

Made some minor edits to my NR200

Its now standing Tall w/ Front (now top) panel airflow improvements and my own Cedar stand.

Mini-DTX is much smaller than that - 203 × 170 mm. It's Mini-ITX with enough space for one additional PCI slot beneath.
The motherboard I've got is a shallower mATX, 244 mm x 210 mm. Quite a lot bigger than Mini-DTX. Providing my board fits I'd say that CoolerMaster are really underselling what can fit in this case, but I'm glad they're not trying to advertise it as an mATX case with caveats that it won't fit a spec board - unlike what can be said about Kolink with the Satellite!

Yeh looks like if you go with a bigger graphics card you'll struggle with fitting fans underneath. But if you are in that sort of position I'm not sure it's really an issue - the graphics card is going to be pulling in air itself straight from the outside of the case anyway!

What motherboard are you using? And are those dimensions Height X Width or Width X Height?
