NR200 Owner's Thread

Slogan said:
I started my build last night using the NH-C14S. The default PSU position (alongside the motherboard) doesn't allow the 140mm fan to sit on the processor side of the heatsink. The notches on the PSU shroud (for the cable management loops) put too much strain on the heatsink pipes with the fan wedged in and I wasn't comfortable with that amount of pressure on the cooler.

Did you take any picture of it ?

Unfortunately I didn't and I have it cabled up now, so can't replicate it. The 140mm in behind WILL technically fit I suppose but the easier method in that particular orientation would be to have a 120mm in behind and the 140mm on the outside.

There was a post on Reddit by someone who has done this. But the standard pegs don't work for slim fans. And the screws weren't gripping the grommets tightly enough to ensure the fans wouldn't simply fall down. Their solution was to remove the top panel mesh, and seat the fans between the plastic frame and the mesh, screwing them in to the rubber grommets.

Have a search on r/SFFPC.

dang I really appreciate it! I gotta go search for it now

The NH-C14S?

It has a full sized 140mm fan and 6 heat pipes, or is it 7, either way I think its the best down draft cooler available and will fit in this case and I'm sure it outperforms the 92mm air coolers by some margin

I dont like the look of it personally otherwise I would be tempted

I wonder why this hasn't been mentioned (at least, not that I've seen) vs the NH-U12S (which seems to be a strong favourite right now)?

Question or statement? If it's a statement, where do you see this? Or have you done it yourself?
Also how is it mounted? GPU vertical or horizontal? So basically, is the Arctic freezer side mounted or bottom mounted?

If you have done it yourself as you were hoping to do, please show pictures!

The picture I saw earlier in the topic was a vertical GPU with bottom mounted 240 version, so I'm really curious now.

I think it's about this one:

Not sure I would bend that tube like that btw

That looks dicey :eek:

If you already own a Freezer II, I guess it's worth a go. It'll probably be fine. But buying one specifically for this case just seems daft. An extra £20-£30 will buy a similarly performing AIO that actually fits. Or you can spend the same money and see CPU temps rise by a few degrees. To me, either of those options seems preferable to putting the fittings under strain.

It does look a bit tight indeed. I dont own one yet, I have a Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM, which is 240mm and it has the tubes on the side), but I was hoping to re-use that for something else.

I also have an older EKWB Predator 240mm, but that has the tubes coming out of the top and they are very sturdy.

I'll just have to keep an eye out on what people do with their builds for now :)
 
i think the tubes are fine, since the tube housing on the arctic is so thick and contain the pwm splitter, the real tubes are not that bent. Guess we have to ask arctic for that.

Which aio give you the same performance, with a dead silent pwm pump, no software needed and one of the best fans available for radiator cooling?
 
Yep, for this case be better room also, 2 x 240mm left in stock at £52 :)

Be here tomorrow hopefully all it good, will post on condition & if anything is missing

The 240mm on release was only £59.99 new

Darren, I like the idea of the RGB on the bottom of the case. What did you use for it and how did you connect it up? If I'm to put a radiator on the side there wont be much RGB visible through the vented panel, so having some on the bottom is an interesting way to go.

I Plugged into the 3pin ARGB Header of the motherboard
then the first strip going back of the case & around front bottom & below the window,
Then out of the bottom of the 3 x PCI-E bracket hole using the 2nd Strip going around the fans in-between the rubber fan mount pegs.

Got a response from arctic, regarding the tube bending in the case
