A friend of mine picked one of these up recently, and one of your vids came up as soon as I looked it up on YT. This vid inspired me, when I eventually move out of the 011D-Mini this (or something very much like it) is definitely my next case. Hope to see you again at PAX post-plague
I mean its kinda far like in Canada far but I mean I can hold onto some of your gear until you need it if it's getting a little tight back there. #Roadto100k Sick beats!
Literally.deshrouded my 5700xt in this case and I went from a junction temp of 110c to 77c avg that’s down 33c. Used 2 silent wings 3 120mm non pwn mounted to bottom of case. My standard gpu temps 73c underload and now 60c
finally, I found a video where someone actually showed how radiators fit rather than just reading me the specsheet from cms website. love the content mate, got a pre-order in for the case when It finally gets available in the UK XD
Thank you for the content I'll try and keep up but taking online classes will probably be bogged down but happy 100k subscribers if I don't get to message you back by then.
OMG just managed to nab the NR200!! Going to transfer my current build to this case. I was worried that a EVGA 2080 Ti hybrid wasn't going to fit but I just saw your video and I'm relieved. I also am water cooling the CPU with a Corsair H80i V2
Your application of thermal compound triggers my OCD haha! I am one of those that needs to spread it evenly and cleanly. Always enjoy and look forward to your videos!
Fantastic build fams. The more and more I see theis case, the more I want to A) Convert my PC to ITX and use this case and B) Use it to make a TV PC VR system. #RoadTo100K #NewPC4Klaire
Tkanks for keeping it simple! not a huge fan of open air cases myself, but it sure is tiny! i have an m-atx Fractal Design Meshify, personally and i was TTLY thinking how much i love that music bro! like a super chill willie wonka vibe
I really have the itch to buy this. Waiting patiently for the Lian Li O11D Mini. Either way, my Bitfenix Prodigy currently has a Noctua NH D-14 cooling the 9900K. My PSU is also normal sized Seasonic 660W. Neither of those parts are compatible in the NR200? The only thing I wish this guy did was to put a 3080 which is 2.7 slots and see if it coped. A lot of people will be wondering if it can fit
Good video, just what I was looking for. I want the case while I wait for a Thor I case. Gonna use the glass panel. I could be happy with this case under the right set up. I wouldn't use the glass all the time. I love that it's an option.
that's the case I ordered for my next build. Been thinking about building a new pc for months now and that's the one I settled down on. Now I just need to wait for the rtx3080 and the Ryzen 4000 series
Jo mate you shortly talk about you playing around with flipping the fans pulling air in/out. But you kind of failed to mention which fans. I assume you are talking about the radiotor fans but I think it would be good if you would clarify that. Someone might suffocate their GPU otherwise.
Awesome swap over keep up the great work you and claire do. I know that you make all of the music for the channel what is the specific name of the song you used in this video on your patreon?
Can I just get clarification/confirmation on the fan set up... Fans at the top are exhaust Fans at the bottom are intake(?) Fans on the radiator are intake(?) If this is correct, the fans on the radiator, arent they just pulling the heat from the radiator into the case? Wouldnt it be better to have it as exhaust, through the rad? Or have the fans between the rad and case instead so you are pulling the warm air off the rad? .... but then that would mean only intake is at the top I guess. Thoughts? Anyone?
Unable to get this case in the UK, sold out everywhere. Could you or anyone just reiterate the fan cofiguration - Top: Exhaust, Buttom: Intake, AIO: Exhaust Push or Intake Pull?
Most likely pull for the AIO as an intake as the radiator is more efficient with cool air than warm air from inside the case! @ragemydream @gearseekers @optimumtech did a video on various orientations and found that intake for radiators generally work better for most cases
Gigabyte have just updated the specs of their Master/Xtreme Aorus 3080 cards: L=319 W=140 H=70 mm. The NR200 specs show a limit of 60mm but there’s still quite a bit of space at the bottom. Do you think a 70mm thick card will fit without the fans being too close to the bottom panel?
The hottest part in my system is always my GPU... Can't understand why all liquid cooling is focused on the CPU... wish more companies would make AIO solutions for GPU cooling.
Intel hasn't change the socket lay out for cooler since ages. And AMD will use AM4 socket for 4 years. It's much easy to design cool block foe CPU. GPU is a completely different story. Just for Nvidia, generations, different models have different VRM and DRAM lay out. Until GPU has a standardized circuit board and socket design. We won't see simple AIO for GPU.
Hello Nick! Hello Gear Seekers! i'm currently hestitating between 3 cases for building an ITX system with most likely 10700k (@ at least 5.0ghz all cores) and 2080 Super (or some better upcoming nvidia graphic card) : Inwin A1 Plus NR200P Metallic Gear neo v2 (or Neo G) but, some techy guys at a tech Discord community, told me (with "logic" arguments) that those cases wont let me get decent CPU clocks nor GPU boost and thus loosing much performance because of thermals -even with decent 240 AIO for the CPU... In the other hand, I keep seeing you and other tech youtubers, using those cases for personal gaming rigs (ranging from 9900k to 10900k to R9 3950X).. So I tell my self "there's no way Nick or X or Y are sacrificing performance"... Tbh, there's too much information on the internet and I'am a fair bit lost! could you please help me or redirect me to a solid source of information? P.S.: the rig I intend building is mostly for gaming, i don't produce content nor stream. My favorite games are World of Warcraft (90% of my gaming) ; Tomb Raider; GTA 5; Assassin Creed; the new Marvel Avengers ; and similar games... @3440*1440p 144hz Thanks a lot!
4:50 i'm looking of this radiator setup where i believe it's in-take setup. On this setup, the fan is on the inside part where radiator is on the outside - facing the side panel. My question : is it gonna be different if i switch the radiator (to be inside) and fan (to be outside - facing the side panel) , while still setup the fan to be in-take ?
I really wish they made this an a gunmetal/metallic grey version. EIther way, probably going to use this case for a new build with the upcoming zen 3 cpu's and either an nvidia rtx 3000 series or big navi gpu. Probably will paint the case myself then, but it isn't out yet in my country so who knows, maybe they will release a grey variant (unrealistic dreams :D).
"It's plenty powerful enough." This changes tomorrow. Personally, I'll deshroud my GPU just to get rid of the crappy fans that it comes with. Everything deserves Noctuas.
@Gear Seekers I have no Idea how you put a 280mm x63 in there like that. The radiator is Biggert than the opening. I put in Z63 today and it was like .5 inch or over a cm too wide. I had to take out screws from the case to flex the front panel to squeeze it in. Did I mount the radiator wrong?
It is crazy just to think I can potentially shrink my full-sized desktop Phanteks P600S to something this dense. I have been reading that it is possible to add a 92mm rear fan, but I don't think it is possible with a side-mounted radiator?
From what i have seen in the Video, i assume you are using 4 Fans on a Auros b450 i Pro Wifi ? but question is do you need a Fan Controller for that ? like how do you power and controller all 4 fans on your setup ?
@@GearSeekers ohhh noted, i'll be getting a NR200 Case soon as well... cuz NZXT H1 stock are always unavailable or sold out in my country, figure i might as well just get NR200 since i already have a NZXT X53 AIO. haha Downsizing from NZXT Noctis 450.
I am trying to build something similar. I am also using the NR200 Case, B550I AORUS PRO AX and a Ryzen 9 3900X. I am not using a video card as I just needed to power of the CPU but I am adding fans to the top ad bottom of the case ( pulling air from the bottom and exhausting out the top) I also purchased the Kracken X63 but I can't seem to figure out where the connections go. Did you using extenders or splitters for your connections?
Wow Nick that part about deshrouding offends me! I like to deshroud my GPU, 3D print custom parts, melt down aluminum I mined myself, smelting it into custom space saving parts and using a laser cutter to cut giant holes on the front panel for better ventilation just to get a 3 degree improvement. It’s worth it trust me 😡
Hello Sir, thank you for making this awesome Video. I bought this Case and i have a Question. When u put the Radiator like u, how do you use the Fans in the System? In the up as exhaust and on the Radiator too? Best regards
Hey, I’m planning to use an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 side mount for the NR200. Since the radiator is big, can I use the argb fans as intake in the push configuration so that the lights are visible or do I have to use them as intake pull configuration?
sry mate, but your not done with this case! you need to show us how to fit a full loop inside it :) thinking a 240 Radiator in bottom, 240 radiator on that sideways bracket the new RTX 3000 series, PCB is half length without the original cooler, so in front of the case we now have space for some sort of res/pump combo?
Howdy, I'm trying to plan out a build, so can someone please explain why the bottom fans can be right up against the GPU like that? Don't the GPU fans blow downward?
Hi! I also plan to put my 280mm in an NR200 I am waiting to arrive. problem is ive also got a 3.5" hdd i want to use, is the clearance between the PSU shroud and 280mm AIO (i also have the nzxt x62) enough?
Another great One! A Deepcool Castle 240mm did not fit the board and it was lil' tall too... Glad that the NZXT AIO did... helped much... thank you.
Good to know. I was going to test fit the Castle 280 EX but didn't get around to it
a comment to consider! thanks for the mentioning very popular aio!
Too tall eh? Rubs up against the fans?
Too bad that the popular Arctic 280mm AIO won't fit, with its weird form factor. =\
Hey mate, just started following you. Enjoying the content and the fact you keep it real. Keep it up
I really like your music! You could definitely go somewhere with it I think.
Already done and finished with that life
I'm really digging the spooky harmonics and groovy beats together.
Edit: Holy crap, I head banged during the completed build scene.
@@GearSeekers Spotify playlist tho maybe? Would be keen to build my next PC to your beats :)
Thanks for your hard work. You've done more videos on the NR200 than most other channels. I appreciate the video chapters too.
its amazing to witness 6 fans inside that compact case! 🔥
It could have 7 fans when using top flow air cooler and 92mm fan on a back panel
I love SFF builds! I hope I can find one of these cases in my country for a reasonable price soon
"Because it's Sunday and i wanna play some more flight sim."
ditto brother.
Mine shipped yesterday. Swapping from a Fractal Define Nano S. R5 3600 with a Scythe Fuma2 and a Sapphire Pulse 5700XT. Can’t wait!

I envy your nr200, wish it was in stock :(
Those temps are quite impressive they're getting closer to mATX form factor. Keep up the quality content m8.
Thank you... This is the first build in this case I've see where they used and AIO and didn't bottom mount the radiator.
I mean its kinda far like in Canada far but I mean I can hold onto some of your gear until you need it if it's getting a little tight back there. #Roadto100k Sick beats!

That really is an incredible case...
You can get a angled psu bracket ( MCA-NR200C-KPSU00) to mount psu at front of case, better than the orginal location,from the CM Store.
glad i found this channel, been looking for a decent aussie based pc channel
Thanks for joining us!
If you like this channel .. you'll love optimum tech .. another aussie itx specialist
I like how the nr200 is like the budget version of the ncase it's Soo good
IMHO it is even better than the ncase, i dont know why but i get that feel.
@@smarquez42 yes I have both you get better cooling with the nr200 it's slightly taller than the ncase

That is a HUGE itx case. My cerberus X which is full ATX is smaller than that. Even the nr200 is pretty large but its got good hardware compatibility.
It's really not
@@GearSeekers I guess I am just used to stuff that is like 14L or less. Seems large for ITX to me but so does the NZXT itx case.
Your application of thermal compound triggers my OCD haha! I am one of those that needs to spread it evenly and cleanly. Always enjoy and look forward to your videos!

hey Nick, i checked about the m-atx support. found out that only some m-atx motherboards like asus B450m-k do actually fit in the NR200.
Nr200 looks really nice
Normally, cases would drop one or two degrees with panels on and then filters on. It seems it's not the case with this one. That's good to hear.
A little bit of a story between them? I love seeking Gear Seekers Stories!
Great little build! Love the NR200, can't wait for it to become available by us. Keep up the great content. Regards "from peel kop" 😉

Another nr200 video😍
Super clean rig. Very stealth. Nice Job !!! Makes me want an ITX rig for myself now... Thanks!
Looks like this orientation should perform better than vertical GPU? Would definitely like a thermal comparison...oh and great vids as always🥳
Good video, just what I was looking for. I want the case while I wait for a Thor I case. Gonna use the glass panel. I could be happy with this case under the right set up. I wouldn't use the glass all the time. I love that it's an option.
Watching you take the panels off the NR 200 ..... JEZUZZ it looks extremely convenient to have a tool-less design
that's the case I ordered for my next build. Been thinking about building a new pc for months now and that's the one I settled down on. Now I just need to wait for the rtx3080 and the Ryzen 4000 series
I would think intake is best case since it would be blowing air towards the VRM, not that it would matter in most builds in this case.
That gigabyte logo that lights up really implement this setup 💨
Jo mate you shortly talk about you playing around with flipping the fans pulling air in/out. But you kind of failed to mention which fans. I assume you are talking about the radiotor fans but I think it would be good if you would clarify that. Someone might suffocate their GPU otherwise.
7:20 its not about performance but acoustics and longevity
Very nice I'm soo tempted to move away from atx and shrink down to itx. :)
If you got no use for the extra slots why not, me personally i was just wasting an atx motherboard.
Awesome swap over keep up the great work you and claire do. I know that you make all of the music for the channel what is the specific name of the song you used in this video on your patreon?
96.5% complete to top it off a sweet minimalistic beast in a small package #SizeDontMatter

The temperature of the air is never important. It's the direction. This is the correct orientation
Unable to get this case in the UK, sold out everywhere. Could you or anyone just reiterate the fan cofiguration - Top: Exhaust, Buttom: Intake, AIO: Exhaust Push or Intake Pull?
Most likely pull for the AIO as an intake as the radiator is more efficient with cool air than warm air from inside the case!
@ragemydream @gearseekers
@optimumtech did a video on various orientations and found that intake for radiators generally work better for most cases
You should make a watercooled system in this case.
I'm not doing any more with this case. I'm done
Why do you have youre fans that are connected to you're radiator in the intake position it should be outtake since the radiation is be dispensing heat
What is your fan setup? bottom push and top pull? AIO pull aswel?
2:00 love the song

So sad when Alphacool 280 AIO cooler radiator can't fit the side board of NR200P. I think I have to move to Kraken x63 too :(
There is nothing cooler then a powerful itx build.

I would like to drop between 3.5k to 4K ausd on a new gaming rig by Xmas . Where do you think I should put my hard earned money?
Need to know how you connected the pump and fans. Because there’s not a lot of fan headers
PWM splitters
Gear Seekers but how did you connect them. Like the boards got 2 fan headers and a pump header. How many fans did you connect to the single header?
@Gear Seekers I have no Idea how you put a 280mm x63 in there like that. The radiator is Biggert than the opening. I put in Z63 today and it was like .5 inch or over a cm too wide. I had to take out screws from the case to flex the front panel to squeeze it in.
Did I mount the radiator wrong?
4:12 Is there enough space to put the AIO at top?
No
I like the white one better. Great video by the way
trying this solution with my new NR200 and NZXT X63 but i found X63 heatpipe is too big to fit side bracket, how do you do that?
Dual radiator custom loop Nick maybe.....
Not doing anymore nr200 videos. This is the last one
@@GearSeekers :(
Nice one sir.👍
