Cooler Master NR200P - Full Build!

[@zackuracy954]

Having a close up view of a build in this case has answered so many of my questions, love the work.

[@SquishyFletcher]

Every time I see a build in the NR200 I am amazed at how much can be squeezed into it, without it causing major airflow problems. Sweet build, and sweet tunes, beautifully done.

[@shaleshsundram]

One of the best cable management I've seen on the nr200p by far

[@KyranOh]

Upvoted because this is so unbelievable helpful to see how someone cable managed their nr200. I will be aircooling my cpu, but this is still extremely helpful to see where you routed cables and how and where you ziptied stuff. Thanks!

[@mechanicalmanical]

I appreciate you leaving in the undo/redo. Impossible to avoid that with the SFF. I’m inviting the buyer’s remorse watching builds in this case. I just built my first pc in a Thermaltake V1. If I could have found a SF PSU close to retail, I would have gone even smaller. I paid slightly over retail for both my CPU and GPU. The markups on the SF PSU were just a bridge too far-some were almost double retail! Anyway, good stuff. Nice and chill half hour. Appreciate it.

[@mikeymaiku]

yes, i cant beleive sfx power supplies are hitting nearly 350 canadian (at least the coolermaster 850w)on amazon from the scalpers and the demand of SFF builds today.... yet you can go to a place like canada computers and order the same one for 212 before taxes lol

Dude!!!!!!!!!! you have no idea how much you saved my ass now! I am doing that same build and never knew that you can mount a triple slot card your way, I got a 280mm cooler and made my life living hell, definitely going your way, the finest NR200 on the web

[@Subdubbin]

Thank you! Glad I could help. Just know that you will need to grind away part of the 2 slot bracket in order to make it fit.

[@Subdubbin]

Also, I don't think you can vertically mount a GPU with a 280mm aio in this case. You will probably need a 240mm aio.

[@dougalm8704]

Put the CPU rad at the top, you want any air pockets in the rad not the pump / block

[@nonamewizardemporium9226]

I get why this bass is so seductive, it's the cable management!

[@kaisarantonn7225]

Im curious to see the temperature when the glass panel is closed

[@johnnyr-518]

Not good. However, you can use it when you're doing a non-heavy task or playing non triple a games. If you're doing a heavier task, it's best to used the mesh side.

[@Craig-ib7gk]

Really nice video work. My only bitch about this case is the mandatory bottom-mount of the rad kit for a 240mm AIO when running a vertical GPU configuration. You could not pick a *worse* place for an AIO radiator. than the lowest point in the entire rig, regardless of fan direction. *All* AIO loops have a minimum "acceptable" amount of air in in the lines, and that config ensures that air will settle in the worst place possible for an AIO: the pump, which ultimately leads to pump whine and premature failure. I would have much preferred if they allowed the 240mil rad+fan deck to be swappable to the top of the case, allowing top or bottom to host the rad. It would have been extremely functional in this build, and still allow for mounting just fans on the bottom. It would have also blown through the price point they were shooting for, so I can understand the reluctance, but it would still be nice as an option.

[@mmyrvold5494]

The radiator pipes is on the top, not the pump. He ran the pipes around the pump so all the air will be in the loop not the pump :) And in this case u cant mount the rad in the top if u want fans on it :((

[@MrEvilKnevel]

I have one major complaint. Don't mount your AIO is that way. Depending on how full the loop is and on the pump design your pump could run dry and your AIO might fail within the next few months. besides that its awesome.

[@MXALOVE]

luckily warranty lasts over 2 years

[@emreproxtr]

He put the tubes higher than the pump. So, the pump isnt the highest point of the loop, there is nothing wrong with this

[@alanyammine9764]

For an ITX format, with a non-modular PSU, 2070 Super and AIO as CPU cooler, this cable management is really good. Nice video btw. Mesmerizing music, a close-up point of view and the attention to details.

[@PavelSekerka]

But SF750 is fully modular with very flexible cables as well. I have the same combo (NR200P and SF750 PSU) and it's really a breeze to work with...

[@alanyammine9764]

@@PavelSekerka Oh is fully modular, you are right. I could swear it was non-modular. If my eyes do not deceive me, I think he connected unnecessary cables . Still a good build and video, in my opinion.

[@AGhoreyshi]

Awesome looking build! Definitely watching this when I finally get all my parts together, including the nr200

[@ragemydream]

This was so amazing and detailed. Please do more like this. I've been wanting this case for ages and I like that you put the AIO at the bottom. It is definitely cramped in there, the cable tidying was meticulous.

[@kaiseralbrecht6099]

Yeah. I hate when the pump doesn't have the sound of air in it and it is smooth and efficient.

[@EternalTotem]

I bought this case. I would have so watch this video if I knew about it ahead of time. Thank you for such a well video. Highly recommend for any owners and future owners. I may actually may do a tear down and build it up again

[@san.cochado]

I'll definitely be mounting the PSU and installing the riser after everything else. What's the purpose of the tie at 10:50 other than placing needless strain on the front panel connections?

[@chrisandrew_tv]

Curious to understand why you chose to pull air through the hot radiator into the case? Does this pull config yield better temps?

[@lantern214]

And it starves the pump in that orientation

[@Keshawn522]

I honestly love how this build turned out, not to mention that the music was very chill. Definitely re-watching this when my case comes in.

[@Evmyskov]

That AIO mounting is absolutely incorrect. Radiator should be up and hoses down.

[@eriknesh4085]

@@Subdubbin Is it really that bad the way its mounted in this build?

[@eyanghongbin0315]

I'm wondering if the fans for the water-cooler are installed up-side-down. In this way they suck the warm air into the case instead of blowing out, isn't it?

[@tomasdiazvelez5822]

yep i was reading comments to check if someone else noticed. The purpose of that coolers is to put some air into the radiator. I think the best option for this setup its to mount the coolers down, sucking air from the bottom, and above the radiator.

[@KAPhotography]

I just want to ask if your radiator has gurgling sound because of the orientation. Other says that when you mount the radiator in bottom it cause high air pressure. The reason why they suggest to put it in top mount but in this case its not possible to put in top mounting for radiator. Please let me know because this is the exact build that i want. Thank you

[@Subdubbin]

I never had sound issues with the cooler in this orientation. I recently changed the cooler to a 280mm AIO. Check out that new build on my channel! I would suggest doing the 280mm AIO instead of a 240mm.

[@lakato115]

That graphics card is a beauty

[@stevidente]

Great cable management but mounting the radiator at the bottom is not recommended because the residual air in the AIO will accumulate in the pump, causing pump noise and shortening the AIO life.

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

Man! That might be the fastest boot to desktop I've ever seen that literally took like 5 seconds. That 970 pro is no joke. And the 980 pro is even faster i can't even imagine

[@mebeingme947]

Very nice looking build and nice somewhat relaxing video with the music with it. Only downfall I see in this is the aio radiator in the bottom. This might couse pump noise and probably also an issue for the pump lifetime.

[@gucky4717]

AIO: Bottom Radiator with Pump at highest point will make bubbles float towards the Pump, thus increasing noise and decreasing Pump Lifespan....I had an AIO Model which Pump got killed within 3 Months with such config. I had 3 Pumps die that way (in 2017 before GN made their research)... That's why it says the bottom Radiator is recommend only for Customloops on the Productpage of the NR200.

[@AceOfSpades678]

@@Subdubbin I currently have my AIO at the top of my case, but watching how your tube is routed got me thinking. GN said that the pump shouldn't be at the highest point of the loop, but technically in your loop, it's actually part of the tubing that's technically at the "top." So if there were any bubbles, they'd technically be wanting to collect there, right? Maybe my understanding of AIOs is incorrect but in terms of physics that's what I'm thinking.... What are your thoughts?

[@iicyaf]

i wanted to arrange my aio like this as well, but read somewhere that the pump shouldn't be the highest point in the loop. do you know if this is true? and i noticed the hose looping over the block by a bit, was that on purpose?

[@APSPase]

I thought placing the AIO at the bottom is bad for the AIO pump??

[@Subdubbin]

And you would be correct. I'm replacing the aio with a 280mm aio which will be side-mounted so that the air is in the radiator instead of the pump. I'll be filming it and posting it, so stay tuned!

[@AniketSingh-hr8mi]

so good

[@Chugs4Serotonin]

I wouldn't have put that radiator at the bottom. Any air in the aio is gonna move up, in this case where the pump is. Especially over time as more liquid permeates the loop causing more air to enter. Otherwise, great build!

[@sabrid54]

Would an aio like the pure loop 240 from bequiet fix this issue? The pump is located near the radiator between the tubes.

[@Chugs4Serotonin]

@@sabrid54 it would eliminate the problem for the pump, yes, but you'd still have air hanging out where the heat fins for the coldplate are, affecting water flow through the fins. Also, if you front mount a radiator, make sure the tubes are coming from the bottom, not the top, otherwise air will sit at the top where the tubes meet the radiator, affecting water flow to and from the pump. Orientation doesn't matter if you top mount the radiator. But yeah, air always wants to move to and stay at the highest point of the loop, so just keep that in mind Basically... Top mounted - doesn't matter, it's fine Front mounted - depends on orientation Bottom mounted - bad idea Side mounted - fine as long as the pump for the aio isn't above the radiator, (still not ideal tho if the radiator is horizontal, because you really want air to be on the side of the radiator opposite of the tubes, vertical side mounting like in an O11 dynamic is fine tho, same as front mounting) Rear mounted - same as front Hope this helps

[@technic]

How would you fix that problem in this case then? Just wondering because I’m doing a similar build

[@Chugs4Serotonin]

@@technic its still not 100 percent ideal, but I'd side mount it. Lose the tempered glass panel and use the mesh panel if you have the model that comes with both. You won't have air anywhere near the cold plate which is fine, but ideally, you want air to be in the radiator, specifically the side opposite of where the tubes come out. That's the only place to mount it tho besides the bottom, which is the worst way.

[@technic]

@@Chugs4Serotonin Yeah I was planning to do the glass panel and vertical gpu mount which really leaves like no other options so I'm not sure what to do now

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?

[@Subdubbin]

I will be changing out the Deepcool 240mm aio for an NZXT X63 soon, so stay tuned to see that. I used a Corsair Commander Pro to control my fans. If you aren't using a fan controller, then you will need to buy some PWM fan splitters to power all your fans from the motherboard PWM fan headers.

[@iceddz]

I'm surprised you got that right side panel on with the cables managed like that. I had 1 small flat cable sticking out on that side that prevented the panel from staying closed well. Had to completely re-route it so that no cables were really on that side to ensure that panel would stay closed. Also! Highly recommend trying the AIO radiator side mounted, with the GPU in the standard configuration and with the vented side panel instead of the tempered glass. That coupled with intake fans on the bottom and exhaust on the top, makes for a hell of a cool system.

[@psb291]

This is how I'm building mine now, but I'm struggling with the cable management.

[@iceddz]

@@psb291 cable management takes awhile in this. For sure. I put it together a few pieces at a time to see if it will all come together and multiple times it didn't and I had to back up and reroute cables, move components (SSD, fans to have cables starting on a different side, etc). I just added a Corsair Commander Pro to the build tonight, and it's so much better than just fan splitters everywhere! Stays cooler too since I've got more control of the case fans.
