NR200 Owner's Thread

Thanks, The funny thing is using the bottom case panel as the top panel for the Radiator acts as a Rad Grill & gives you the option of easily move it left or right,
This would not be possible with the top Fan push pin stock panel.

So how annoying is a NZXT X63 going to be with no extra hard drives etc? Really hope it works as that's what I got for my 10700K build and really don't want to through the hassle of returning if it doesn't fit properly.

guys is it possible to attach the radiator into these holes???
I wanna try it but I don't have one
 
Hello all,

i'm slightly concerned that going with a front-mounted PSU option could potentially be suffocating the PSU. can anyone kindly share some thoughts on whether this is a valid concern, or if I'm being paranoid ?

(i apologize for this vertically space consuming post due to the images.)

If the PSU is rear-mounted (default option), most of the PSU fan will be open to draw air from the back side of the case. So that's fine, no problemo

But when the PSU is front-mounted, only half of the fan (at most) will actually be exposed to draw in any air:
VUNnCY1.png

This half-covered fan, combined with the fact that the front area:
  • has no intake fan
  • is pretty isolated from the rest of the case.it can't receive direct airflow from anything, apart from recycled (and most likely warm) GPU air
    • the bottom fans (if used as intake) will be consumed entirely by the graphics card (unless one uses an extremely short GPU)
    • the side vents (on the non tempered glass version) will only blow air downwards and not towards the front
    • the top fan (near the front of the case) could potentially be used as an intake to blow air towards the right side of the case, but this is highly unlikely because the top fan will most likely be used as an exhaust, due to the PSU (regardless of side or front mounting) exhaust always facing upwards. using the top as an intake and then having the PSU exhaust blow against that seems to be a bad idea.
  • is a very narrow enclosure barely thicker than an SSD
  • U0BvwPF.png
  • bPxeD0r.png
  • hence looks to be very poorly ventilated
makes me concerned that the PSU may be under-ventilated and potentially overheat. I've checked a few of the PSU specs (Corsair, Cooler Master etc.) and they say that the "continuous output temperature" / "operating environment" is usually only up to 40 or 50 degrees celsius.

Can anyone kindly clarify if this is a legitimate concern ?

thanks,
 
GearSeekers has it mounted to wrong way around. Fan should go on the inside drawing air away out of the case, blowing it up to the top case fans.
 
When I had the Corsair SF750 Plat mounted in the shroud on the front with 90mm Fan facing out
I had no trouble since the fan never turned due to being so efficient & only starts up after 350watt under load
& then real slow, so it's fine with this PSU

The Front fame panel with the PSU fan shows almost half of the fan against the frame

Can have any PSU mounted facing out or in
With the SF 750w any way work

I was thinking of attaching the fans normally then attach the rad to holes in the pic

You will have trouble with Memory clearance having the fans & rad, cant be done in the Original case stock orientation :(
I only manage to fit My Arctic Liquid Freezer II - 240mm 38 mm thick with the fans 25mm thick by turning the case upside down & modding

hi, are you sure about that ? how would the PSU bracket attach to the front of the case, if it is mounted with the fan facing inwards ? Page 11/32 of the manual (https://coolermaster.egnyte.com/dl/pliWdOeQZW/) shows the screws (for attaching the bracket to the case) are located on the fan side:

It is the fan side that gets attached to the case:

back mount position:

Front mount position (it shows the

I suppose you could do it by flipping the PSU around, but that means you end up with the (less than favorable) situation where the PSU fan is (partially) blocked by the small circular holes in the bracket:

regards,
 
The case is designed for the PSU shroud to be mount on the inside front also with the 2 slits that it hooks into
& then place the 2 screws to secure it

@KAB4C2E Here's a photo of my first Build with the stock AMD RGB cooler
Corsair sf750w 90mm fan facing out front showing almost half the fan though the front frame
Just turn the PSU around facing out or in through the white round vents
Hope this helps :)

The fan never turned once since I had it in this position since it only starts up when the watts reach 350w under load so efficient

@far from home, you can only have a slim rad up top when you spend out on custom water cooling parts
that way you can have say radiator/fans on the bottom of the case with the Res/Pump Combo & have a slim radiator also on top with no fans as an extra cooling boost as the part of the loop

there's custom water builds with Fat black hose/tubes all over the inside that reminds me of my dad's old rover 2000 when opening the bonnet up.

I retired from custom water cooling in 2013
the last full custom water build was in a Parvum Systems ITX Case
Cooling 2 x GPUs in Crossfire & CPU

back then there was no such thing as RGB LEDs
All them Bard fitting only cost like £3.99p pack of 6 or cheaper ones was like 50p/£1 per bard

My custom loop looks like a possibility more and more :rolleyes:

The list of cooling hardware posted Around £275 with that Barrow CPU block also will cost some on customs/delivery
1 slim RAD, fittings, tube, barrow CPU block
Strange it is not listed on the barrow website

The EK pump/res combo pushes the price up to around £440

All that just to cool a CPU,
Get the same or better from the Arctic 240mm thick rad AIO that only cost me £52 in B grade
but would have to rotate the case

Ah it is a lovely looking Custom barrow block :)
AliExpress/China is more for the USA buyers

My x63 fits, posted some pictures some pages back. Optimum Tech also uses the x62(?) which is also 280mm.
