I would go with Thermalright PS120SE CPU cooler. Costs about 40(22 if you can get it from Taobao) and performs at Noctua NH-D15 level all the while fitting in the NR200. The Hyper 212 is basically the bottom line for cpu cooler performance for cooler benchmarks.

@@stycks3008 I don't know what the max is, but Gamers Nexus did a review of the non-SE version (which is barely different from the SE) using a 3950X overclocked to 4.2GHz and running at 198 watts, and even when it was noise normalized to 35 decibels (which is equivalent to a quiet library) the average temperature under heavy load was around 77.4 degrees Celsius, which I believe is well within the safe margins. Basically it should be okay even for an i9 14900K so long as you limit the power consumption to roughly under 200 watts (you only lose less than 3% performance on average when limiting it to 200W vs stock 253W by the way).

The tempered glass version also fits with this cooler (but might be out of budget). You just need to take off the decorative caps at the top of the heatsink which cover the heat pipes (two screws on the top plate) - I run a similar build but with a Ryzen 5600 and rtx 3070 with two fans on the top and get temps around 65c-70c when gaming under load. While the TG does turn things into a little hotbox, I just can't resist staring at what I've built, I'm a sucker for the RGB lighting!

[@SarthakNarnaulia]

@@magnuswf but in itx you should set up upper or lower fans as such they work as exhaust and push cool air inside case through side panels if you have mesh rather than tg.

@@SarthakNarnaulia not sure i follow. You mean intake through mesh sidepanel and both top and bottom as exhaust?

[@SarthakNarnaulia]

@@magnuswf not really if your itx case has place to fit fans both top and bottom then put top as exhaust and bottom as intake (can feed graphics card directly air) thus mesh panels help in intake air as air is pushed outward from top. if you can place fans only on one side of case ie top or bottom take them as exhaust (prefer mesh panels) cause it promotes cool air to come though mesh panels.

[@legicy_]

why are these videos so damn clean

[@JamesFuston]

I built in this case recently and I have to say, cable managing the PSU is _very_ important if you've got a card like an FE with a passthrough fan. Otherwise you risk those cables coming out of the PSU dropping straight into that fan. Not a concern at all with normal dual/triple fan cards. I ended up using slim noctua fans on top as exhaust and rotating the CPU cooler 90 degrees to exhaust upwards as well (Noctua will give you a 90 degree adapter for free if you're using one of their products) for negative pressure since the case includes dust filters for the bottom and both sides. Built a little 7700x/4070ti mobile gaming rig and I'm very happy with the result, the NR200P was fun to build in

[@DengKevin]

If someone wants to replicate this build, then I would advise to change some of the parts because there are parts that are a better choice for the same or cheaper price. CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black -> Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE RAM: GSkill Trident Z Neo 16GB 3600 CL18 -> Corsair LPX 16GB 3600 CL18 SSD: Crucial P2 1TB -> Intel 670P 1TB The Thermalright Phantom Spirit is simply an amazing air cooler for the price that has similar performance to the legendary Noctua NH-D15. The Hyper 212 Black (2023) doesn't come close. The RAM changed to low profile because cheaper, fits better, and same specs. SSD changed because same capacity, DRAM cache, and cheaper.

[@LowKeyOfficialYT]

will the cooler fit okay? it seems larger than the one he mentioned.

[@LowKeyOfficialYT]

Also I am going with the T500 2TB from Crucial instead of either of the ones you and optimum said.

[@DengKevin]

@@LowKeyOfficialYT The T500 is a good SSD choice. The cooler will fit into the case. I have personally used the Thermalright Phantom Spirit inside the NR200P. There are some dependancies for the cooler. 1: If your RAM is too tall, then you'll have to use only 1 of the 2 CPU fans. If you want tall RAM, then 1 fan is perfectly acceptable if you have a Ryzen 5/Intel i5 CPU. But I highly advise getting low profile RAM 2: If the motherboard CPU socket is higher than average, then you might not be able to use a 25mm 120mm fan as top exhaust, and will have to use a 15mm slim fan instead. Most boards should not have this problem. 3: If you don't have sleeved flexible Power Supply cables then putting the 2nd fan above the RAM might pose a problem if you don't have excellent cable management.

[@ko_tech]

Great setup at this budget. I have this exact case and couldn't be happier with it. In terms of temperature management, it stands out as one of the best ITX cases available, albeit slightly larger. With that said, based on my testing and based on the testing done by Machines & More, I recommend moving the 2 bottom fans to the top for the best temps. The bottom fans are mostly optional and primarily contribute to reducing GPU temps during idle, likely due to modern GPU fans not spinning at idle. Additionally, make sure you have enough room at the bottom for the standard 120mm fans. In my case, I have the Asus RTX 4070 Dual, which is roughly a 2.5-slot GPU, and I can only accommodate slim fans. Standard fans already come into contact with the GPU, which is suboptimal for minimizing turbulence.

[@panashejulius9378]

Your finals gameplay looks insane

[@rileyhance318]

Personal opinion. The ryzen 7600 should be your default cpu. It allows upgrades in the future to at least 3 more confirmed cpu generations with just a bios update. 7600 $200 b650 wifi board $120 and 32gb ddr5 6000 cl32 for $100 which works best with the ryzen infinity fabric. Thats a full platform for $420 that has at least 3 generations of support with a possibility to be extended as amd already extended am5 from 2024+ to 2025+. 12th gen intel is a dead end that doesnt save you that much money

They're not the quietest fans out there, but for getting started on a budget they're fine. For better fans, another user said the Arctic fans can come in multipacks for great savings.

I just built my nephew this exact same setup for his first PC for Christmas. Great hardware market right now.

If it's not strictly ITX you can fit 7500F, Kleev 2x16 6000CL30, 7800XT in the 1000 budget easily. 200 extra to come in sff size

Awesome build. Great Job.

Niiice u playing the finals. Do u post gameplay anywhere?

I agree with most of these choices, except I'd go with a faster processor if you play games like Apex, CoD, OW, CS, etc. I was told for years a 600 range processor would be plenty for any comp game. The problem is 1% lows are carried by the cpu, which affects consistency. I had a 5600 xt paired with a ryzen 3600 for years. My performance was good, but struggled with framerates. Black friday 1 year ago I get a 5800x3d. I was locked at 144hz almost 100% of the time on every game I just listed. All scenarios, all maps, low settings. If you run 1080p low settings, your cpu is your highest priority. Software engineers are not optimizing for cpu. There is some kind of misinformation going around about gpu/cpu balancing.

I just built a $2000 build with the NR200 so that case is definitely not too old even for high end. I have a RTX 4080 and 7800x3D in there and temps are amazing. I searched for a more premium case in the 15-20 liter range but really couldn’t find anything to compete with it.

What mobo and ram kit did you go with? I'm currently researching a similar build list. Thanks in advance!

[@MaxxKoggen]

I wouldn't recommend connecting to the internet during Windows installation. Just to do updates after the fact.

Sent this to a mate who was thinking about getting a new computer. Great video.

[@pmknmash]

hey a built a super similar build earlier this year! inspired by your sff build videos. I went all AMD with a R5 7600 and RX 6800. build came out over $1500 because I bought everything new. this was also in January this year so it was a different market. love to see that I got the fan configuration right for an air cooled build in the NR200

[@xxMyGodIsaDJxx]

This good old NR200/NR200p boy, so many possibilities, what a pleasure to build with it

[@MrAnimescrazy]

I went with an all white build in the phanteks nv7 with the gigabyte aero oc 4090/ 7800x3d/ 64 gigs of ddr5.

[@kai93453]

im planning to do a budget build too! these are the specs i chose: -AMD ryzen 5 3600 (84 euros) - MSI B550-A PRO ATX (110 euros) - corsair vengeance LPX 32 GB DDR4-3600 (40 euros) i already have 2x8 in my old buiild so im just adding another 2x8 -Gigabyte EAGLE Radeon RX 6600 8 GB (260 euros) -Lian Li o11 dynamic mini - Corsair SF750 80+ Plat (180) - Cooler master MASTERLIQUID ML240L RGB V2 (67 euros) - a few corsair icue elite fans both 120 and 140mm (224 euros) if anyone has any ideas to maybe go a step up on the cpu and gpu i'd love some reccomendations

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

It looks like a great components choice and a very descriptive build process.

[@JosephElsherbini]

I'd love to see your take on a budget setup for video editing and rendering.

[@Tejas_Shah]

Perfect video... love what you do with 10 mins
