Cooler Master NR200 Power Supply Options

[@BensTechLab]

What small form factor power supply are you using/considering? BTW, if you're new here, welcome! Subscribe for more tech vids like the upcoming Monster Labo silent PC build!

Thanks a lot for this video! It helped me a lot!

JUST BOUGHT AN ATX POWER SUPPLY ADAPTER FOR THIS CASE ....AMAZING!

I don't understand why this channel isn't bigger than it is! I definitely appreciate the thoroughness of trying out several different configurations and testing for clearance on all components that you are testing!

[@BensTechLab]

Thanks for the appreciation!

Hello, seen some issues with the top fan being blocked by sfx-l psu. Did you face any issues when installing the sfx-l psu?

[@N3xusSolo]

Thank you!

[@JovanStanojevicYo-Wan]

A very helpful video, thank you so much for making it. I've followed from your previous video where NR200 starts. I'm expecting my NR200P white tomorrow to arrive and I'll be alocating my old PC in to this new case. My plan is to upgrade it bit by bit and I would start first with the new power supply. Now, my old PC is ADM Rysen 3 1200 with a GTX 1050Ti with old power supply of 500W. My question is which power supply is best option for few years run? Is it enough to go with SF450 as you did in this video or should I get a more powerful one?

[@BensTechLab]

Power supply choice depends on your other component choices like your next graphics card or next processor. In my case I was using a very low power GPU because it was more like a "server". So it is way more than enough. You should be able to google any graphics you want and find power consumption in watts. So its hard to recommend until you pick your next generation of parts.

[@BensTechLab]

If you aren't sure what your future components may be, then it might be wise to slightly oversize your power supply as every generation of GPU gets a bit more power hungry. The good news is corsair now makes a 600w and 750w version of this same powersupply! Check this out: geni.us/corsair-sf750

Does SFX relate to the size compatability or is it just a feature

[@BensTechLab]

SFX is a physical form factor (physical size) which is smaller than ATX form factor ("normal size" pc power supply).

[@Saya_SpicyMarmalade]

Thanks this is very useful

[@BensTechLab]

Glad it was helpful!

[@simepaul4882]

Great stuff!

[@BensTechLab]

Thanks @Sime Paul! Glad you enjoyed this.

[@pamanmoeldoko2636]

what about cv 450 sir? can it fit in?

[@rizalassalam]

this video is actually really helpful and informative

[@BensTechLab]

Great! Glad this was helpful! 🙂

[@Vis_-oe6pw]

Can i fit my 244mm x 220mm motherboard in this case ?

[@squigly80]

great video my dude thanks a lot for all the info

[@BensTechLab]

Thanks! Glad this was helpful!

Wouldn't it make more sense to buy a high wattage power supply so that the fan doesn't even need to kick in while under load? So if you have in theory a PSU of 1000W and you only use 400W then the fans don't even kick in and the PSU is completely quiet. That's what I've been reading online for getting a quiet system but I'm not sure whether it's true.

[@BensTechLab]

Some headroom on your powersupply is definitely good, but not the only factor. The efficiency rating is a big part of thermal performance too "silver, gold, platinum" rating. I went with the SF450 platinum which is very quiet. But also I dont have a big GPU in this build. If you are lucky enough to have a significant GPU you may want to go up a level. But also no need to over compensate.

[@sv7363]

@@BensTechLab Hmm well I'm building a PC without a GPU (for now at least, I have another older gaming PC which is still good enough), I think the wattage would be about 300 at max for the whole system. I got a SF750 because there was no 650 and 550 here, only the SF450. Without a GPU I think the fan won't even start up even under maximum load, essentially having 0 DB noise (except for the coil whine if its present).

[@BensTechLab]

@@sv7363 Sounds pretty good! 👍 I think you'll have enough headroom on the 750W that when GPU prices come back to reality you will have plenty of power supply headroom to spare!

[@fred_derf]

Corsair also makes a 750 Watt SFX powers supply, and Cooler Master makes 550, 650, 750, and an 850 Watt versions.

[@BensTechLab]

Do you have any of the cooler master ones? I'd be curious how they are for noise level at those higher wattages!

[@fred_derf]

@@BensTechLab No, I actually have a Corsair SF450 for my NR200 build, if I can ever buy the CPU and GPU to upgrade my main windows PC.

[@iranicus]

Corsair SFX PSU's seem to be all out of stock in the UK, been waiting for the 750 version for a couple of weeks now

[@dice3000]

Now try doing the same but with a full length graphics card :) I'm ripping my hair right now

[@BensTechLab]

What graphics card are you trying to fit? I did see GPU prices are starting to come back down to earth now! Maybe I will do more build videos... pre-crazy-prices I had bought an ITX length RTX 2060 which I still use in my main video editing rig.

[@kazielbonn]

Thanks for this, much appreciated :)

great value, subscribed!

[@BensTechLab]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@max-lee]

my psu cable looks like nj450 sfxl right now. since my gpu is long, only about 3-4cm gap with front panel, the front of psu is the only place to stuff the cables.

[@chanithpeduruarachchi4425]

Thanks man, just the one looking

[@BensTechLab]

👍 Glad I could help!

[@dariusdavid369]

That means the i can buy any sfx power suplly

[@vdfritzz]

can you mod it to fit a small micro ATX motherboard (asrock a320m) + a standard size power supply? I have no problems with using cable ties and drilling aditional holes and my gpu is small, a 1660 super, so it doesn't take much space either

[@BensTechLab]

There are a few lists online for which mATX motherboards fit. I can't know all of them. But there are 2 official heights for mATX motherboards.

[@Argooh]

Any Corsair PSU ive owned have had bad coil whine while games run above 60fps. What are the best sff that dont have coil whine issues? Ill pay ANY amount.

[@BensTechLab]

Hmm sounds like the coil whine is while under heavy load? I would recommend a higher quality (ie: "gold or platinum rated) powersupply and you could overspec the wattage a bit. I had good luck with these builds, but there is an element of luck what batch you got etc. So buy from a company with a good return policy! Amazon links in the description if you want to use them.

[@trapperainsworth2435]

They are selling atx brackets to mount full atx psu's to these cases. I'm interested in seeing how they mount?

[@BensTechLab]

Interesting! Cooler master is making these now? I did see some after market or custom ATX installs before...

[@techtreko]

@@BensTechLab is aftermarket part, you can buy in aliexpress, a position of atx power supply is the same of your put with matx motherboard.

[@ranakirti]

can the SF450 manage a 3060ti....?!?

[@BensTechLab]

It will depend on your CPU choice and other system components. It is possible with a lean system design. But there is a 600w version of this powersupply too I believe. (FYI, I have a Core i9-10900k with RTX2060 on a 450w power supply with no other accessories aside from an SSD and this build is stable).

[@werty1982]

my sf600 handle 3080. So probably, there are test of this on youtube

[@itstheweirdguy]

I got a Thermaltake white 430W regular size power supply in this case. I had to take two of the screws that keep the PSU chassis on, and use those screws to go through the case. Only downside is that obviously a GPU isn't going to fit now, my customer will never put a GPU in this. The fan points out where it's supposed to it worked! Not using the cage it's too small. I wouldn't even want a GPU in this case seems like a horrible idea that's more for large towers and a lot smarter of an idea in a real tower.

[@BensTechLab]

Cool, with this mod did you put the power supply on the inside of the front panel?

[@itstheweirdguy]

@@BensTechLab it fits in the sideways orientation only. It’s fortunate that the screws that hold the psu chassis together come out and fit through in 2 spots so it stays in. It fits pretty much the same and the fan aims out the side in the same spot a sfx psu would. Saved 20 bucks vs a sfx power supply and that only would have been a 300w. It’s totally fine if you don’t want a GPU because the full size atx power supply complicates cable management and would block some GPUs.
