FYI, that site falls foul of the swear filter because it's a search engine for competitor's prices. Best not to mention it here; OCUK don't really appreciate it.

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
Yap exactly that's the one I have

Hi! I follow this thread since the beginning, but haven't talked yet cause english is not my native langage and i'm gonna do a lot of typo / mistake, so... sorry beforehand.
I planning to upgrade to the NR200 when it's gonna be available in my country, I also wanted tu put a NH-C14S on it but it seems to conflict with the psu shroud, I asked Yoshikan5037 about his build, the rad is sligtly too large about 5 or 6 mm to the right, and he also said that a 25mm fan can't fit to the top, for the same reason, but he didn't mention of how much.
Maybe I'll take it anyways, with some dremel cuts, it will fit!

I'm not sure how it compares to be honest, would have to find reviews of each on the same CPU to get an idea but the Mugen would probably be better at a guess

Hi and welcome to the forum, thanks for the information that's good to know. There is always the L12S but obviously wouldn't perform as well
Your English is fine by the way

Thanks!
the L12S is maybe too limit I think, TDP speaking;
and i don't want to put a 280mm water cooling on the side panel, it seems to restrict the airflow of the gpu a lot and it fit really tight inside
I know it's an itx case, but it's bugging me!
So while I go through the rest of the 10 pages in this thread, I'll try answer the above even though I think you guys would have figured out by now
"Do you know if any USB C front panel upgrade kit will be released? or if the stock 3.0 usb are swappable? Is this a thing for NR200P? An upgrade kit?"
- Regarding upgrade kit. At this moment there are no upgrade kits available. Let us know if you want an USB-C upgrade kit, if there's enough market demand we will look into it. Granted this will take a global perspective but if there is enough feedback from here then we can look into a global forecast too
- Depends from which way you want to count but the pictures here might give you a perspective.
I don't know how to embed photos to the forum, so here's a download link: https://we.tl/t-FEuC0GbvXR
I have a 5TB 2.5" Seagate HDD that is 1.5cm / 15mm thick."
- SSD space in front is as photo (Minus 2mm for the rubber ring)

Damn! sorry to hear.
I've sent a mail to the relevant teams to see if we have spares now or if they need to be ordered.
Granted if we need to place the order now, it will take some time to arrive but at least I can get the process rolling.
Can you email me with photos of damage and the serial number of the case?

I just realised that on my case one of the feet is missing the rubber inlet. Anyone here having the same issue?
Contacted OCUK via webnote but they want me to send the case back.
@Ron_CM can you please advise if there is any other option for me? Frankly I just need one feet to be replaced (or even just that rubber part).

I just looked at noctuas website and they rate the NH-U9S at the same performance bracket as the C14S

Again, sorry to hear about this!
Drop me an email too with the serial number and i'll pick it up tomorrow with our RMA team.
As above, it might take a while to get spares ordered and into our NL warehouse but at least I can get the process started.
As for the rest of this thread, I'm hyped with all the builds everyone's been posting.
There is A LOT of feedback here too which I am passing on to our design team. The criticism too as that helps us improve for future iterations.
Apologies I can't spend more time on the forums but i'll try my best to keep an eye for more build photos and feedback
Will do this, Thanks Ron, much appreciated!
So what am I missing? I tried routing the motherboard cable from the psu but its simply way too long, not it's all bunched up just above/slightly touching the GPU backplate, which is making meworry a bit since that back plate gets burning hot.
How do you all do it so cleanly? The 3.5" is going as soon as amazon delivers my nvme drive, should I try then to place the excess cable where the hdd is resting?

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.
Have moved the PSU to the front, which will allow me to get away with a 140mm front and back on the heatsink.
I have to say I don't like the design choice of the top panel inside. I want to use slim Noctua fans on the top but the pin design is only made for a standard fan thickness, so my fans will either have a big gap between them and the top of the case or a big gap between the fan guard and the fan. Looks a bit dopey either way and the pins (not the actual fans or guards themselves) are slightly pressing on the heatsink. Not to an uncomfortable extent but pins for slim fans would negate the issue entirely.
The top also having the pin design, unlike the bottom part, also prevents you from installing two 140mm fans with 120mm mount spacing, like I'm planning to do with the bottom of mine.
Other than that I'm pleased with the case but the C14S isn't necessarily the easiest product to work with in it.

Route as much as possible round the back. Use screws to secure the rear panel. For any excess cable, try and stash it below the PSU and behind the GPU. There should be a decent amount of space there, out of sight.
It's always going to be harder with black cables and a white case though.
