NR200 Owner's Thread

The Front Frame, nope not worth it, 2x pop-rivets are normal & the other is flat so the front pull off panel can go on ok
will be much easy to unscrew the front I/O PCB & mod it to the top.

common knowledge when using a Pump the Radiator must be even/at the same level or above for proper flow
otherwise, it put a strain on the motor giving less performance & can burn it out :)

Same as if you got a Shower in the bathroom that runs off the pump system.
 
The gap between the top 120mm fans and the RAM slots on any standard motherboard is about 5mm - not going going to be getting a radiator in there without a big increase in height, or offsetting the fans to the side. Even in the latter case, I'm not sure how well it would really work out.

what do you think of a side mounted radiator in this case?
 
I did a few stress tests, my 2080ti doesn't get above 75c with a really quiet fan curve. This is with either OCCT or 3dMark.

CPU stress test (occt linpack mode) gets the cpu to 80c with a 240mm corsair 100x.

I'm using the vented panel, but can't imagine the temps from the modded window are any worse (I bet they're better).

The case really is excellent for cooling as far as I can tell
 
Thanks for the GPU temps....wow that is pretty low temp-wise. Though is that game really even straining the 2070? Recommended GPU is a 980ti lol.

ALSO! Thanks for reminding me that there was a sequel to the Surge! Totally forgot.
 
The game settings all on max is demanding on a GPU somewhat a lot of big areas
Really loved the first Surge, making Surge 3 :)
Got the Bloodborne, Darksouls feel to the game
you are welcome
 
Did not even know that game, looks like fun and I apparently own the first one. Great temps.. Maybe once I get the case I'll need you to source me a window as well ;)

Isn't the height issue of top mounted rads mostly just due to the PSU bracket getting in the way? They could've been a lot smarter about how they placed that, or offered lower moutnting options, I guess.

PSU, RAM slots, and motherboard heatsinks are all potentially an issue.

When it comes to the PSU, if low profile aftermarket cables were used then it could probably be mounted a few millimeters lower. But otherwise, it's already mounted as low as possible without greatly reducing max GPU length. The SFX mounting position is already significantly lower than in the Ncase M1, resulting in the cables touching the GPU backplate.

There isn't really any way around the simple fact that proper top mounted radiator/AIO support would require a substantial increase to case height. And this space would be completely pointless when not using a radiator. The best shout is going to be doing what Darren did. Hopefully any V2 of this case officially supports flipping the case and rotating the panels.

Been reading through the 55 pages of this forum before deciding on moving from my Node 202 to an NR200P. Created an account just to mention that I'd called in to Overclockers UK on Friday afternoon, spoke to a very friendly chap who advised me that they'd purchased 75 of the cases originally and were surprised how quickly they sold out. They were subsequently supposed to be ordering another 70 or so of the case again the following month, but was accidentally missed from the order. They are currently expecting the next batch for delivery to customers mid-October, and the site has now been updated to accept pre-orders for the case.
Just thought I'd let you all know as I cannot find anywhere in the UK that has stock or are even expecting stock.

Hoping for a bit of a noise reduction over the 202, but also making some space for a 3080 in the near future...

Hi and welcome, good info thanks for sharing.

Good to know I managed to get my hands on one, its a good case and I like its size but as mine arrived scratched and Coolermaster CS dont seem to be getting back to me regarding resolving the issue its taken the edge off a bit and I must admit I dont see what all the fuss is about really compared to previous cases its not built that well and can get very noisy

Part of me wishes I went for the Lian Li TU150 but I'll be keeping an eye on Fractal Design new releases as they are my usual case manufacturer of choice
 
@MattMeV8 thanks for letting us know. OC UK is currently the preferred reseller by CoolerMaster in the UK for this case, so it's unlikely you will be able to get it elsewhere unless they are selling them sourced from another country.
If mid-October is next batch, that gives time for the O11-"mini" to come out as last update said that should be out end of September :p
