Welcome to SFF! the NR200 is on the bigger side of SFF, that's where I started now moved on to a 7900 XTX inside Fractal Ridge! Great vid!

You have shown my my first PC I'm going to build for Star Citizen. Thank you for posting the build, and advice shown here that I can use as a guide. Thank you much.

I'm building this system tonight but with a 4080 super. Definitely using this video. Thanks

[@ItsPhurpl]

I have a 4080 in the same case. I did swap the fans for noctua and didn’t add fans to the bottom due to the mixed reviews online. CPU sit around 64c while gaming.

Love the NR200 cases. Managed to get 6 Noctuas in mine (two on AIO intake, two bottom intake, two top exhaust). It's astonishing the amount of air it moves on top of being reasonably quiet.

[@souperman6406]

which noctua cases did you use?

[@Pilaspilas911]

Great build, but I'm just waiting for the inevitable price cuts down the line. The itx motherboard cost a ton currently and hopefully subsides down later on

[@KetoRayGaming86]

Nice vid bro! I'm also using 2 NR200P's with mini itx and even 1 with mini dtx. I was still in doubt if I should buy one of the Max versions, but this vid did convince me. Also those temps are crazy low. I'm very curious what they'll be with higher ambient temp and of course how it will perform with those extra slim fans on the bottom of the case. Thank you very much for this info so that I also can continue building a new system in the Max in stead of the 'normal' NR200P's that I've got.

[@Steror]

Did you build it? Do you use slim fans at the bottom?

[@KetoRayGaming86]

@@Steror Nope, I've switched cause of the crazy motherboard prices back to a new am5 atx build

[@Surya_Virya]

Nr200P is so cute and powerful. Its on my list as the case when I'm gonna start building. I heard there's a NR 200P kit that has cooler Masters psu,fans and one more thing pre-installed in the case.

[@nabiljemel2838]

That’s the NR 200P max version Used in this video, it comes pre installed with an AIO two 140 mm fans and a 850 watt power supply.

[@wilazn]

It's a shame they raised the price for the max to $450. At the original $350 it was actually worth it.

[@KevinTaNet]

The RTX 4080 isn't sitting leveled in that case. It is definitely weighted down on the unsupported end. I would make a custom bracket or leg (3D Print) so that it is less tension on the other end. They should've added mounting screws to the the PCI-Ex riser, that would've eliminated this issue.

[@fufu1405]

Why would that cause any issues? GPUs sag in the standard orientation too.

It’s not really a concerning amount of sag to where it’s gonna snap it’s not that bad

[@DEAFSTONE]

GREAT BUILD🔥 what is a good alternative to the 4080 in this build? Preferably on the nvidia side of the gpus.

[@ipadize]

you should check your 980 pro SSD firmware version because there is a version that "corrupts" the chip and when a certain threshold is reached the chip goes into a read only mode without the ability to repair it. and then its useless and your windows will crash constantly. Just make sure to, if not already, update your drives firmware using samsung magician to the newest and you are safe.

[@rameshrao2930]

Thanks!

[@devyn.johnston]

Wow! Thanks so much for this huge contribution, Ramesh! This really means a lot!

[@matercheff]

Would be cool to see the whole setup such as windows, maybe a bios update or other settings. Just for us dummies. Epic build and great video I plan to build nearly the same build later this year !!

[@tenettttt]

Sweet build. Looking to build a new Mini-ITX after 6+ years of using my current one. I really bought my last one in the dip though.. Parts are sooo much more expensive nowadays.

[@nabiljemel2838]

After a 6 months of research I have decided to build an AMD system using the same case, and I have few learnings : I opted for the Ryzen 7900 because of the 60 Watt TDP and 12 cores: a good compromise for gaming and productivity. I replaced the default cooler master fans with Noctua ones. I plan to install an ASUS strix graphic card. since the Asus Motherboard comes with only two fan headers (1 cpu and one case) the Asus strix graphic card has two additional fan headers. There is room in the bottom of the case for two additional slim 12 cm fans. The negative aspects : the power supply does not have the new 12V connection for graphic cards, the case is still a bit bigger than I expected. Without a graphic card installed the case is already generating too much heat. There is no way I am leaving this thing on my desk. Also it is too small to put under my desk, I will need a small table for it. I believe the best computer is the one you do not realize it exists (silent cool and hidden)… update : I was planning to pair this with an Asus strix 4070 ti, now hearing about the issue with future games needing more vram I put this on hold. There is room in front of the case for two 2.5 inch ssd, my plan so far is two m2 ( Os, sw, games) and two 2.5 inch ssd in raid 1 for DATA. This makes the ideal portable gaming workstation PC.

[@nabiljemel2838]

To my big surprise I did find out the only RTX4080 that fits in this case is the founder edition :( I am even struggling to find an RTX 4070 ti that fits.

[@cotasa]

Just get a 6800xt (gigabyte one is 28cm) .. and wait for 4080 to drop in price ($799 should be an ok price)

[@bendover-bz4bc]

How the hell your MOBO is not burnt down yet? Do you live in colder region ? I got into micro PC build after seeing rise of handheld gaming consoles and loved the idea of having powerful but portable machine . Can anybody tell me is it safe to build such tiny builds ? I live in very hot climate. So please suggest me is it good idea to go for such build.

[@nabiljemel2838]

@@bendover-bz4bc I think it all has to do with how much cooling and air flow the case has. I opted for low power components : Ryzen 7900 and Nvidia 4070 ti , the case has also good air flow if you do not use the glass panel. I have also added two 12 cm Noctua exhaust fans on the bottom of the case in Addition to the existing AIO with two 14 cm fans as exhaust on the top of the case. The MOBO runs round 50 deg and the CPU round 70 deg max.

[@Audi1Pete]

Don't forget it you go for the 7900x3d it's only 6 cores in games, the 7800x3d will use the full 8 cores.

[@xristinarose2409]

I have this build. Only intel i9 instead of ryzen. Absolutely love this pc 💙 its everything i ever wanted

[@DafuIl]

Nice vid my bro Did you undervolt ur CPU?

[@Shulcyo]

What are your temps for 7800x3d in this case ? Myne idles at 50C cinebench 75C gaming around 60ish. Running two slim noctua fans on the bottom as intake I am also curious at what your ingame benchmark overlay is from ?

[@ilijazafirov4192]

I made my build with 7800x3d in Lian Li A4 H2O case few days ago, had my 3080 gaming x trio a massive card lying around so i used that one instead of buying a new one, you should try it, it is way way smaller than the NR200P and for a founders edition card, it will fit it perfectly unlike my oversized MSI card which i had to shave off a milimeter at the plastic to make it fit, the A4 H2O can even fit 4090 founders edition card

In my 200Max I used a gpu holder/stand under the bottom right corner of the gpu because it definitely sags without it

Just finished my similar build. Did you swap out the FE 12vhpwr for a cable mod one? My is a bittt tight pressing up against the fan cage for the AIO.

[@sebiseb8359]

Bro the 7800x3d is such a beast, i mean 60c with an tiny aio and that case.. my 5800x3d goes to 60-70c in games after fine tuning and pbo2 with a 4000d airflow+6 ql 120mm and a 280mm aio

[@SevenMilliFrog]

ambient temps play a huge role in cpu temp. in my room without air-conditioning, ambient temps rise to 32 C (i live by the equator) which yields to my 5800x3d going up to 80 C while gaming. with air conditioning on, room temps can go down to 24 C and my 5800x3d doesnt even touch 65C

[@sebiseb8359]

@@SevenMilliFrog i got my 5800x3d down to 40-50c in gaming and 70c full load.. Mounted my aio in the front and it shaved 10c off. Made a better Fan curve also, my room temperature is about 24-25 C.

[@damianpereira9952]

Is the total fan count for this PC 4? (2 radiator, 1 gpu, 1 psu), or is there any case fans? Is the gpu getting all the hot air from the CPU? Or is there any intake I'm not seeing.
