Welcome!

[@PetkoKolev00]

Great video man. Came from Reddit and it was worth it👍🏻

[@ghimtech]

Thank you!

[@vita46]

Awesome thanks for the tutorial!!

Thanks for this man. Great system. Subed

[@TLOH7]

I wish I could get tiny and go to hibernate in there during the whole winter. The little lcd screen would be my personal movie theater.

[@m.w.s.6110]

Your pc looks fricking awesome!

Thank you!

Hail the king of NR200p!!!! Thank you for your videos sir.

[@ghimtech]

Thank you and welcome :)

[@ShuffleToExpresss]

Great video 👍🏽 will have to try this

[@ghimtech]

Thank you! And have fun!

[@J0HNWICK]

Thx a lot from germany!

[@vadepp]

what size standoff screws are those? And that micro usb shown in video is not 90 degree? Do you need also the micro usb to be 90 degree in order to fit it?

[@Lexus_XXX]

Thank you! 👍

[@opoxious1592]

Can i also use the 5 inch screen theme on a 3.5inch screen? Is it possible to make everything a bit smaller to fit in the screen?

[@neins]

does it reducing cooling efficiency covering PSU with that flat screen that comperative square size as fron side of PSU?

[@TechDime]

Great Vid! got the same LCD screen

[@ghimtech]

Thank you!

[@miguelluz2878]

Great video, was able to mount a screen too on my NR200 :) Got a question.. I see you are using slim fans on the cooler. Would standard fans fit for a push/pull on the cooler? Am thinking of using Sickleflow fans.

[@ghimtech]

I used the slim fans for cooler because of the tall and fat rams I’m using (Corsair vengeance rgb pro). If I were to use regular fans it will be pushing the rams. You can get away with the regular sickleflow if your rams are not as thick as the ones I’m using, so feel free to try it out first :)

[@moriartyMH]

good stuff !

[@jeyfloh]

I use multiple desktops with windows 11 - is it possible to have aida stay visible on all monitors? Is there a way to keep the taskbar visible on other monitors?

[@AlfredYap]

Second. Terbaik again. Idolaku ❤️ I am using same Aida64 sensor panel too. But place under monitor.

[@ghimtech]

Thanks boss!

[@jennifers6781]

I’ve been looking all over for a clean sensor panel like that. Any idea where I can find it? The ones I create just get messy :)

[@ghimtech]

@@jennifers6781 go to aida64 forum and check out plenty of sensorpanel that is being shared by all the users. Find one that suits your preference and modify from there :)

[@jennifers6781]

@@ghimtech thanks! I’ve gone through all 90-ish pages but nothing looks as good as yours :) I took one and adjusted it but not really happy with it. Anyways, thanks for the reply!

[@MrCrastopher]

Instead of using an HDMI cable and running it as another monitor (I already have 3 monitors for my build), is it possible to plug the HDMI directly into a Pi Zero 2W, and run Aida64 that way?

[@direkRJOlea]

Is there aany other options aside from Aida64?

[@abdullahqureshi191]

Would my cursor go to the second monitor if i drag it to that position?

[@Bobbydoesarchery]

Good video!

Thank you sir!

[@daffydaffon5453]

does it work with AIDA64 Trial version? Or, do you have to buy a product key?

how long of an hdmi cable is necessary for this?

[@b1gd312]

Do you have a link please for the micro usb cable?

[@mastatantvshow]

fatcat here. This given me an idea and I've share my built month end.

[@ghimtech]

waiting for your build!

[@ArisSharif]

great video! is the micro usb cable that comes with the display sufficient? or if you used a separate cable what length would be preferred? thanks

[@ghimtech]

Thanks! The cable that comes included is not usable with the NR200P due to lack of space. A 90-deg cable is required as shown in the video. I used a 0.5m cable to reach the rear IO. Recently I've switched to a much shorter 0.2m internal USB cable instead (plugged in directly to the motherboard internal USB header).

[@ArisSharif]

@@ghimtech i see, do you mind sharing which internal usb cable did you buy?

Can I use these monitors with laptop

[@rennzzz8085]

Awesome tutorial and very informative. But I was wondering if this affect the refresh rate of the main monitor if you plug it in the GPU?

[@ghimtech]

Not really because this monitor is small and only 800px so it doesn't even take up 1% of the gpu's resources to display it. Hope it helps :)

[@rennzzz8085]

Someone has a problem, when you enter the game, the statistics window moves half to the central monitor??? Maybe there is a solution to fix the statistics window on the display?i have 1024x480.Have trying everthing....

[@zihaoyang6027]

It’s a great video. Can you please provide the link for aida64 theme you are using?

[@ghimtech]

Hey, I don't have a link for the theme I'm using, download it ages ago. I downloaded the theme from aida64's forum and made several changes to match my theme and setup ie. colors, font type, sizes & few other details. You may check out aida64's official forum, there are plenty to go through :)

[@warfaceindiablackburnfire330]

One question, is the lcd direct plug and play with pc gpu or i need to connect it to raspberry pi and do some settings first ?

[@ghimtech]

It just connect directly to gpu and windows treat it as a second display upon startup

[@warfaceindiablackburnfire330]

@@ghimtech ty so much for fast reply sir 🙏 now i understand this completely. Ty 😊

[@yuval12388]

Do you know of a cheaper 5" display? im looking for just a display but everything I find is always touch screen. I just want a 5" display that works if you know any. thank you

[@ghimtech]

I don't think there is anymore nowadays. These screens that comes with touch function has gone down to about $25-30 and it's considered pretty cheap already

[@uthernuturn3437]

Will this affect gaming performance as the screen is running as second monitor on the gpu?

[@ghimtech]

This is just a 800x480 screen so there'll be no effect on gpu performance, unless of course if you're using a very old gpu :)

[@GrayFoxUy]

What use to conect the io front panel headers at onece?

[@ghimtech]

The mini holder comes with the NR200P for ease of connecting all the front panel headers at once :)

[@roxboy5505]

One question, wouldn't it be more convenient for the cables to be routed through the hole beside the GPU slots? Because some 2.5 gpu slot user might not able to done it with this method.

[@ghimtech]

yes you definitely can do that if you have a much thicker GPU and is blocking the 3rd pcie opening at the back. Also if it's a 2.5 slot gpu, you'd probably can still get away by routing them under the GPU. Just make sure the cables aren't interfering with the GPU fans :)

[@roxboy5505]

@@ghimtech Yea true, but 2.5 with a couple of slim fans at the bottom won't make it tho. Anyways, keep up the good work :)

[@ghimtech]

@@roxboy5505 thank you :) also I don't think the bottom fans would be in the way of the cables you are trying to route it out behind to the rear I/O, there are still quite a bit of gap between the bottom fans (irregardless of regular or slim ones). One solution is to cable tie them neatly while you're routing so that it doesn't move around and interfere with both the gpu and bottom intake fans

[@Argooh]

You can put those cables out the side next to the gpu bracket part.. theres a gap there. No need to put them through the bracket. Anyone know the best way to colour the screens parts that are not black.. black?

[@ghimtech]

Sharpie :)

[@tukikwukong7515]

Hi what kind of slim fan u are using. Thank you

[@ghimtech]

That would be the Noctua 12x15 chromax black slim fan :)

[@wankerka]

@GT Lim can you do this on the asus ryujin 2 lcd screen?

[@ghimtech]

Yes you can as the Ryujin 2 has aida64 integration, but you’ll end up with lesser information as the screen is much smaller

[@b1gd312]

is there a way of getting the screen to power off when you shut down instead of just displaying 'no signal'

[@ghimtech]

Go to your bios setting and enable ERP or energy saving mode. It functions to turn off all usb power upon system shut down.

is that brush or wht type of paste pls

You mean the thermal paste? That is Cooler Master MasterGel Maker

How to use rtsss fps in lcd screen?

[@ghimtech]

You need to install MSI Afterburner. During installation it will prompt you to install RTSS. Once it’s installed, you’ll find the RTSS FPS option in aida64 sensor panel manager

[@fredrichvilaga9931]

How do you run FPS on AIDA. mine is not working

[@ghimtech]

You need to have MSI Afterburner with RTSS installed. Once installed, AIDA will be able to read fps data from it.

Bro do you record all these b-roll on your own or you have your own team? Looks super sexy, crisp and professional.

How long of an hdmi cable did you use???

[@ghimtech]

I used a 1m hdmi cable but it's actually a little too long. If you can find 60cm would be just nice.

@@ghimtech thank you. I know you’ve probably change pc cases now but did you have any trouble with thermals in this setup from the video? 212 with slim fans in push pull? Did you zip tie the fans on the cooler? I’m buying a 212 cooler and my setup is pretty close to yours but with a 3080 FE.

[@ghimtech]

You don't have to use zip ties to secure the slim fans on the cooler, just reuse the fan holder that comes with the cooler :)

[@francescodimizio598]

if you plug the usb to a mobo usb header it's way better.

[@ghimtech]

Yeah that was the initial plan but I couldn’t find a micro usb to mobo header cable so I decided to just use the direct usb cables. Will likely switch it up if I’m able to find one

[@jenovaizquierdo]

They should be another way instead of using HDMi and use a USB C

[@ghimtech]

Yes this would depends on the type of LCD panel that you purchase. Some newer ones supports single USB C connection to power and transmit video direct from the mobo. The one I got however was an older variation, or rather more common ones on the market :)
