NR200 gonna go down as the jack of all trades SFFPC case.

[@GearSeekers]

It's really good! It does almost everything!

It’s a cery good and cersatile case, even if at 18 liters is just barely an sff

Thanks for the video.

[@GearSeekers]

Thanks for watching!

[@MK-mj6zw]

My experience after a few NR200p Builds: 4090 Inno3D OC is a tight fit, but it’s works without cutting something. 750w PSU works fine for a 450w 4090 (stock Powerlimit) with 5800x or 5800x3d. Probably the same with similar TDP AMD CPUs… Total system draw in gaming 350-500w. Worst case Szenario 600w which is still no problem für the PSU efficiency. On top of this you would have the possibility for Undervolting and save even more energy Scythe Fuma 2 wouldn’t fit with Glass panel. (Mesh was no problem) But bending the pipe Ends a little bit made it fit, no big modification but worth mentioning . Temps are perfect and it’s a silent build. You are welcome 😉

[@SeabassFlop]

[@ilvichingo1844]

silent build??? i don't think...i have a 3070, 2 slim fans down her and in game the gpu and the 2 down fans are very noisy

Is the PSU end of the 12VHPWR cable touching the top fan on the 4090, or am I seeing things? Lol. That is sick being able to fit that monster of a GPU in that little case. Great video as always, Nick and Klaire.

[@hyetoch]

great video Nick! Now we need a successor to the NR200/200P to accommodate the ever-increasing GPUs (still watching as of commenting)

@@GR-cd2kx it’s the PNY XLR8. It’s pretty cozy in there, 2mm clearance longways. I had to route the 4x 8pin through the front of the case because the 4x 8pin to 12pin is an absolute chonker, but other than that the build was smooth sailing :D

[@D1craigRob]

Nah we just need to stop being stupid and buying these sized gpus. Don't buy them and they will try change up what they are doing instead of mak8ng them bigger and bigger rather than making the same sized gpu mote powerful. The size increasing like this make me curious if they are struggling with a lack of innovation.

[@sch-corp]

NR200P proving it is still an absolute beast in 2023. Do you reckon this build might be better with a side mounted 240mm AIO? One thing that irks me with the NR200P is the wasted space at the front (where you'd mount a HDD on top of the PSU cage) when using an ordinary 120mm cooler.

[@michaelmonroe5034]

Its funny how one of the most affordable .... and good cases just works

[@squirrelsinjacket1804]

I love the look of this case, esp with the glass. I agree the front panel is a total waste of space they could add maybe another radiator or spot for fans there instead. Maybe if they made a nr300p :)

[@sch-corp]

@@squirrelsinjacket1804 The ASUS Prime AP201 and Jonsbo D31 are good modern alternatives to the NR200, and support MATX to boot. Nick has done videos on both, I think!

Looking for the follow up video sharing those temps

[@adamyap6990]

having a nr200 n pny rtx4090 combo im the happiest man when i find out it can even fit in

[@chillkyle]

One thing you might have missed on is the HDD mounted bracket that fits on the side panel. Some people may like to fit an HDD because the cost per gigabyte for a HDD is still better then an SSD. Plus, the size of games legitimately getting bigger as development progresses further.

[@zilinate]

It can also add 2 more SSD or HDD 2.5 mm on the front behind the lid using 4 screws on 4 side of SSD or HDD then you can attach them like in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5TdmX6dmtiLrdU

[@DannysTechChannel]

No one does cinematic effects like Gear Seekers. Love seeing your videos pop up on my feed ❤ keep up the killer content mate!

[@BNBPhotofr]

I managed to fit a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X in this case. That's a 3.5 slot GPU. I had to unscrew the bottom post to put it in, but of fits and since the bottom panel is mesh the GPU isn't choked. Wonderful little case. 😃

[@GearSeekers]

I might do that actually

[@D3LTA2]

I had to take the frame apart to get my Strix 3080 in mine... Also you can get an AIO up top if you're willing to cut a notch out of the frame of one of the fans to clear ram sticks. Probably be fine with lowpro ram.

[@platanito4494]

Just the vid I needed to see if the card would fit for this case 😭

[@AndyU96]

I'm pretty confident that the hot air from the GPU will be frying the chipset and the bottom SSD on that board :) Oh and, the chipset and the bottom SSD not only share a heatsink, but that heatsink is actually linked to the VRM heatsink through a heat pipe :)

[@215datbull]

I am so happy that you answered my question. Now how can I get my hands on a 4090 fe....?

[@kuyakoiaguilar7767]

I initially thought my 4090 won't fit but there is a way to fit it in. you need to remove your CPU cooler and PSU. insert your GPU first diagonally. once GPU is set. install your CPU cooler and PSU

What were the temperatures for this particular system?

[@Bimboms]

Purple NR200 is so good. i was using a V850SFX with a 3080 Strix (heavy use) in an NR200. PCIe connectors singed just enough after 18 months to trigger the red leds on the Strix. Swapped to a Corsair SF750 and red lights, DWM.exe crashes gone. I wonder if it was transient power of the 3080, high ambient temp right around the connectors or maybe both?

[@dariuspryor9301]

Gonna try this build with my i9 13900k and 4080 founders edtion. Would love to make a custom aio with a fully copper radiator first though.

Adding some more reference on GPU compatibility i fitted a xfx merc 310 black 7900xtx (which is huge) it protrudes that front cut out but it does not touch the front panel at all

[@kingdomofsleepofficial9707]

The TUF 40 series may not slide in that little whole in the front chassis but you can remove the front chassis completely with 4 screws...

[@ekhodykin]

Also Ventus 3x from MSI is one of the relatively "slim" models of RTX 4090 that could fit in NR200.

[@GearSeekers]

There are a few that will fit. Unfortunately I don't have more cards to test 😔

[@ryanm1586]

Is it possible to put the gpu like this in nr200p max with an aio on top? Or would you recommend just air cooling with fans?

[@RamonStokes]

I love your content (and the music!) but you know what - show the "tin snips" method in the bonus round. I think a lot of folks would love to see the hacks that make these builds work and would be a good differentiator for you content - IMHO :)

[@GearSeekers]

[@Mecha120]

I've always thought about going SFF at some point, is the case volume really small enough that you don't need additional intake or exhaust fans and the CPU/ GPU fans provide enough air flow/static pressure on their own to blow hot air from their respective fins directly out of the case?

[@blkspade23]

I've built in this case a couple of times for people, and it comes with 2 120mm fans. If you don't put a ginormous GPU in it, you can pull air in from the bottom with 1 fan out the top with the other. Otherwise you could just put both in the top. The R9 5900X (NH-U12A) and the 12600K (NH-D12L) managed to stay in the mid-70s under load. Only had a single slot Quadro card and dual slot 5700XT in those builds, but they worked out well too.

[@spinkey4842]

i'm still blown away from the amount of power we can fit in a small foot print also, where can i order a replacement TG side panel for this case?

Probably check out your regions Cooler Master website, Some stock the panels. :)

But how many fans are needed in the case? And would it actually fit 2 120mm fans on top and 2 in the bottom with a smaller GPU?

I fitted RTX 4090 MSI Suprim X into this case by removing all the screws from the edges of the chasis. Asked my wife to spread the sides open while I push the GPU inside. It wasn't a pretty surgery but it worked.

If I want to grab the NR200P Max, and build a top notch and quiet as possible gaming PC, can you suggest which motherboard will provide solid performance and the most features for the 7950x3d with either a 6950xt or the 7900xt graphics cards? Does gaming suffer from only 64gb ram if your looking to run game on max settings? Im playing games like Star Citizen, Jedi Survivor, DCUO, ESO, Gotham Knight, Cyberpunk 2077 etc on an LG C2 42" OLED.

[@Ruudwardt]

What is the max length to the opening of the front to fit a big gpu? I wonder if a MERC 310 7900XT would fit in.

[@wl7915]

Like I said NR200P is a case aging with grace when compare to case from the same period of time. I think even NR200P MAX is not qualify to install any 4090 due to the intake clearance. And the bottom intake just messes with the airflow. My laterst upgrade is to fit a deshroud Inno 3D ichill 4090 with 2 T30 bottom intake into NR200P. I am waiting a set of 4.5cm tall 3D print feet for NR200P so the airflow won't be limited while in full load. I didn't bother to upgrade my PSU as I only use 5800X3D in this build. Nothing SF750 can't handle.

[@zDennii]

Its great that the Top fans are connected to the top with these grills but why it needed to be that thick. Just bought some Bequiet silent wings 4 and they dont fit with my cpu cooler (Thermalright PA) dont know what is touching the grills but the Fans have a higher hub than other so the middle stops the fan. Dont know if someone have a solution to mount the fans to the top without destroy it :D

[@mcbowler]

PNY xlr8 4090 fits. Just have to take half the case rails off first, and build around the GPU. No cutting.

[@andreacustica9316]

I did almost the same build you did in this video and I am having an issue, every time i plug the CPU to PSU cable, the build turns on, and turns off after 3 seconds. When I unplug the CPU to PSU cable, the build turns on and stays on. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

[@awo4101]

I wish they sold the NR200P Max without the AIO and PSU It has a different, vertical GPU-only layout compared to NR200 or NR200P

[@swizzler8053]

The NR200 has much better GPU clearance

[@yanniskorsavvidis7111]

Hi! Great review! I want to ask if there is any chance for my sapphire radeon rx 7900 xtx nitro vapor to fit in that case. The problem is that it has 71.6 mm height and cooler master says that in can only fit up to 60mm GPUs. 4090 founder's edition has 61mm height and i see that there is a gap below the card.

[@positivite4961]

Hey man amazing video but that bring me to another question well then what kind of 4090 GPU could fit in it I am not really good with PC and since I am trying to make my first PC an ITX since I moved a lot I wanted to go with something that would make the new ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM coming next year work perfectly for gaming and digital art and I am thinking of building a pc like this but I can't find any founder edition hope you reply also keep up the good content!
