- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- In this video we're going to take a detailed look at building a small form factor 4K gaming PC in the Cooler Master NR200P. This is a fairly detailed, step-by-step tutorial geared at a first time builder, so timestamps are below for your convenience.
Build Components- a 650W SFX PSU and 16GB of 3200mhz DDR4 RAM would also be fine for this build. Idea list here, as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases: www.amazon.com/shop/machinesm...
Case: Cooler Master NR200P: amzn.to/32POSwX
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I Aorus
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X: amzn.to/2Hb6Pyl
CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 5: amzn.to/3kCepzQ
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 Founders Edition
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200mhz: amzn.to/2UgeBtD
RGB Fans: Cooler Master Masterfan Halo 120, 3-pack: amzn.to/2UPXmQe
Power Supply: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold: amzn.to/339UTod
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVME: amzn.to/2USGd8z
A few recommended options for non-RGB:
RAM for SFF builds, Corsair Vengeance LPX: amzn.to/3pWKnui
For a fairly economical build I would place the Sickleflow 120s at the bottom under the GPU (if you're using a 2-slot card), and then add any of the following at the top:
Noctua S12A: amzn.to/373PAbg
Noctua S12A Chromax: amzn.to/2KDMoLV
Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2: amzn.to/3pZDIjh
Scythe Kaze Flex 300-1200rpm: amzn.to/3pTeSl7
If you're using a thicker card that can only fit slim fans underneath, my only recommendation would be to place the stock fans at the top (depending on your choice of tower cooler- with the demo setup you can have one 25mm fan), then add any of the following under the GPU:
Noctua NF-A12x15: amzn.to/39dCvP5
Also in Chromax: amzn.to/39idQcx
For the highest end build place the NF-A12x25 Noctuas at the top and bottom (if they fit).
Noctua NF-A12x25: amzn.to/39dKJai

Some of you have inquired regarding the lack of a fan over the top of the Mugen 5. This is a physical limitation of the Aorus board's CPU socket placement and the Mugen's cooler width. A slim fan will fit, you can mount it with screws after removing the mesh panel, or use what are called clevis pins to replace the tool-less hardware. I don't expect that the fan directly overhead for the 30-series FE setup is imperative, although I think it would be marginally helpful. This may be a topic of a quick future video but in general you're already getting some passive airflow exiting overhead the cooler since with the tempered glass panel and a cooler in rear intake this setup runs slightly net positive pressure. The right top fan does most of the heavy lifting because 1) it's mostly unimpeded, 2) it's directly overhead the GPU exhaust and adjacent to the exhaust of the CPU cooler. The air coming out of that fan is a great hand warmer. I will test this more in depth. The real key here is that there are two at the bottom and one on the top right to create the bottom to top vertical airflow.
Found the clevis pins as well when researching this topic earlier today. Someone has also made a 3d printer file on thingyverse for shorter versions of the standard CM pegs. I just so happen to have a 3d printer :)
This is simply false. I have the same case, cooler and motherboard and a fan fits perfectly fine over the Mugen 5. You have to bend the top cooler fan clip a bit, but a 25mm thick fan fits. There's also enough space for a 90x14mm fan at the rear for some rear exhaust. You don't want to have the rear as intake because it's unfiltered. If the case needs more air it can pull it through the motherboard side.
Good to know! I recall the fan clips were the source of the interference.
@@MachinesMore Just take some pliers and bend the middle pull tab thing almost straight. Leave just enough bend to be able to hook the rest of the clip onto the cooler fins and you're good to go.
I just tried this again and pre-bent the clip so it’s flush to the heatsink. Unfortunately with the fan I just tested with (Sickleflow stock) it would not close. Every other top case clip engaged except for the two around that fan. It bulges out a lot. I pushed down on it pretty hard to the point where I probably shouldn’t have pushed any more and it still would not seat. Even in the non locked position the top fan will not turn either. I suspect manufacturing variance may be at play here. Thank you for the data point that will encourage some to try. For some it might work and for some it won’t. What I am certain of is that on a Strix board it will fit a top fan over it. It isn’t the end of the world though. When testing the ID Cooling cooler today with and without fan, the delta was exactly one degree.
You have no idea how happy it makes me finding out Cooler Master is recognizing you! Well deserved and I learned a lot for my upcoming build with the same case, motherboard but with a 3070 instead
Thank you! Yes, 3070 is a great alternative. Good luck building! Will be taking a detailed look at 3080 vs 3070 very very soon.
This channel is really underrated, it gives so much information and little tips, but as they say, "the more you know the better".
Couldn't agree more, excellent information
i agree
man, as I have the NR200 on order and am picking out my parts for a build, your channel, and this video could not be more perfect. Absolutely love the content and thank you so much!
YES CM Sponsorship! This is perfect video, thank you!! I'm currently collecting parts for my NR200P build and this video is going to come in very handy. Thanks for being so detailed!
Exactly the video i was looking for!
Sometimes it feels like u are an undercover marketing agent for CM man, especially the nr200p. Best channel on yt for the nr200p by FAR!
Built almost the exact same system based on your video yesterday. You pointed me in the correct direction for parts and it helped having a clean build a lot! Thanks!
Thanks for all the NR200 content. I've been using laptops for the past 10 years and picked this case for my return to custom buids, very informative.
Thanks so much for this video, I've never built a computer before and i used this video step by step to build my new nr200p and it was perfect!
this must be the cleanest nr200p build I have seen so far. Keep it up man!
Actually planning on building my first computer in the NR200, so THANK you for the very detailed video!
Good for you! Check in anytime if you hit a snag.
Hello. I am sorry for my English (I am French) but I would like to say that your explanations are very clear and accurate. For me you are the reference. For the first time I built my own PC based on your advice and it works very well ! Thank you.
All my parts for my NR200P build have finally arrived, just in time for this excellent guide. Much appreciated!!
Go get 'em!
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING AND I JUST WATCHED IT 100 TIMES OR MORE TO DO THE EXACT SAME BUILD - THANK YOU SO SOOOO SOSOOS MUCH!
Thank you for the full detailed build guide.
Will be watching this video over and over again. Especially when i will be able to get a hold on a ryzen 5900x and rtx 3070 in the coming months
This is the clean build tutorial that I have not seen ever. Thanks
About to build my first pc with a nr200 with almost the same parts besides the cpu and gpu. So glad I seen this so I can follow along when my case arrives this Monday. Thank you so much and i subscribed!!
I discovered your channel only after I bought my NR200 and love your content.
I run a Gigabyte Aorus ITX board, Ryzen 5900x, and Radeon 6700XT in my case. All is super tight with two SSDs, one 3.5 HDD, a Noctua NH-U12A, and four case fans.
Really god job with the cable management, the best i've seen in this case so far
I gotta say, your channel is freaking amazing. You cover those small details that nobody even cares about. For instance, you mentioned why one of the fan cables is colored vs. the other 2 not colored. I've been looking to find answer for that but nobody talk about it. This is beyond helpful.
Glad you found it helpful!
This is the video I’m gonna base my entire first build on thank you so much
I'm planning to build my first pc since 15 years thanks to your channel
There you go! Awesome!
As of this morning Ive Finished my Nr200 build with a Ryzen 7 3700X on a Noctua NH-L12S cooler paired with a 1660S looking to upgrade. I’m so glad I chose this case and all your testing reassured me the temps would be fine. Its dead quiet and I am worry free rn. Thank you!
Congrats, always great to hear a success!
Awesome tutorial. I would love to see a version of this with an AIO and 2 top fans instead of 1. Great work!
Thank you sir I needed this 🙏
I’m real big on temp on my pc and this is it for me
Cable management and all keep going I subscribed
Commenting and hitting like such that this video can get the recognition it deserves. Thanks for the guide!
your channel inspire me to build my first SFX I never imagined we would get this much. I'm starting my build next week.
Congrats and have fun with the new build!
Thank you so much for this!! I just finished my first pc build! This video was very helpful and I got it to boot on the very first try!! ( it may or may not have taken a couple hours)
Now I just need to figure out why Bluetooth disappeared from my computer
Very nice! Looking forward to seeing the results like the performance and thermals at 4K.
Wow, first time I see a build video of this quality. My impression comes mostly from the thought and care you took to cable manage, most edutainement builders just do cpu, ram, m.2, mb in the case, psu, cooler, gpu and then plug the cables wishing you good luck to cable manage. We can feel it's not your first one with this gear and it really makes this video full of valuable info like the components fits.
I am glad you enjoyed it Manuel. Will have another step by step guide for the NR200P MAX closer to the launch date as well!
My man !
Just finished this build also, although i did route the cables not underneath but over the PSU due to the tension on the plug in the motherboard.
But other than that: THANK YOU.
You explained it so clearly and informative, its my first build and running smoothly. Will follow your content.
Thanks again !
Enjoy your new build!!!
I love your presentations and respect you. Hope your channel reachs bigger audience.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
wow this is the cleanest NR200 i've seen!
Just completed my first build with your help through this video:
NR200P
B550I ProAX
5900x
64gb (2x32gb DIMMS) Vengence 3200mhz
RTX 3080 Ultra FTW
2TB PCIE 4.0 NVMe
1TB 3.0 NVMe
Corsair SF750 PSU
Another great video as always. Basically the same build I settled on, but with the C14S for the mesh panel NR200. Now to find actually find a graphics card...
I'm literally making my build right now. Definitely a little tricky but happy the way it's coming out. Good timing on this build.
Went with a 5600x with a rtx 3070 with a 650 watt psu. Looking towards the lower power powerhouse.
So calm and collected, I've done 50ish builds myself, but you can really see and feel the experience. Great guide even for an experienced builder to reflect on all steps before the next build.
Awesome video. This is almost exactly the same build I’m putting together! Very helpful
Most Relaxing PC Build ever
Just found this video, you must have built this the same time I built in a NR200. I used an Aorus Ultra z490i, 10600K (OC'd to 5.0ghz), nzxt kraken x53, team xtreem argb ram 3600mhz cas14, I replaced cooler master fans with 2 noctua's. 3080 is on the way, for now there's a 2070 placeholder. Really happy with how this build turned out, even with cpu overclocked, it never goes over 70 degrees. Can't wait for the 3080 to get here.
Appreciate the cable routing guide. Love the build process video.
You bet!
Great work. I'm just waiting for my case to arrive and then I can put together my build :)
I’m putting together my first build in the Nr200 and this will make a great guide!
Have fun!
Subscribed because you took the time outta your day to reply in your previous video. Plus great video! I really appreciate the information you give, has honestly made my building experience 10x easier.
Glad to help! Hope the build turned out well!
great informational videos! look forward to each and every one of them
I completed my very first ever build last week with almost identical components, this would have saved me so much pain. Top quality content as always. I just didn't get what the red end of the fan splitter is, i just connected my two fans to the black ones.
Dude you're crazy, best newcomer hardware channel 2020 goes to you for sure!
Agree, love how in depth he goes. Hopefully he gets more sponsorships so he it can put said products through the paces.
Perfect. I was bouncing between this and the Q58 for an upgrade in the next year or two. Whenever the 4000 series and AM5 becomes available to mortals like me.
Just found your channel... Amazing to see another SFFPC channel for us nerds who like it small! :D
My NR200 comes tomorrow and I feel I'm a lot more prepared for it. I've built lots of computers over the years but it is always good to learn before doing, especially the cable management in these SFF cases.
That is a great attitude. Best of luck!
Thank you for this video. It help alot as a first time builder!
Thank you so much your cable management was super helpful and your build order!
Your video saved my stressful night lol I forgot to plugged in my CPU cord to my PSU
Another great video. dying to get my hands on a nr200. Gonna build almost the exact specs.
Seriously, you have no idea how many times I have revisited this video. Either I want to build up my confidence to go for my build or I have a hard time falling asleep. This video gives off chilling vibes and helped calm my messy mind before my midterms and finals. This really is the best NR200p build guide.
Just built in the case thank for the help!
I woke up just in time to watch this video. Let's go!
Im still waiting on a gpu, psu and the nr200. I'm hoping to build my first sff in a couple weeks. Thank you so so much! You have been a God send for people looking to build with the nr200. I've decided to go with the noctua nh12s and having 1 side intake fan, 2 bottom intake (if it fits depending on gpu) and 2 exhaust fans at the top.
Sounds good! That's how I would set up with the L12S also. :)
ANOTHER GOLDEN VIDEO FROM MACHINES AND MORE!!! UPCOMING MAJOR UA-camR OF TECH AND MORE!!!! LOVE YOUR CONTENT ON PC BUILDING!!
EVERY VIDEO I WATCH IS A TREAT!!!!!! ^_^!! LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT PC CONTENT!!! CHEERS!! ^_^!!
You're very kind, thank you for the support.
Very good video and one i will use when i build in a nr200p next year.
Great video 😊 I learned so much from this build
Nice work !
Great video sir, keep up the great work!
Love my temps 5600x B550i Aorus & TUF 3080, C14s with A1225 + A1225 Side intake, A1225 Top exhaust & 2 x A1215 bottom. CPU 4.5ghz 1.2v never exceed 65c (ambient 28c) GPU 69c. Thanks to your Aircool review video!
Late to the party I know ,but I've just ordered this case and hopefully doing the same build ,Less the expensive graphics card 😅, probably go with gigabyte 3070,doing a black amd white build ,great video and as always very in depth ,well done
Awesome video! Right what I needed! Many thanks!
Very helpful I plan on building in this case
Appreciate the video. Without this, I would have never had the confidence to try something like the Mugen 5. This was my second build overall and my first was an emergency ATX mid tower in 2016. Things have changed a lot. Except I'm still using my 750 Ti video card that I got in 2014 since I can't find anything nicer at the moment!
After watching your "Optimizing Air Cooling Thermals" video, I was a bit surprised that you didn't setup the cooler for exhaust.
I used a Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact in the case and while some connectors are more convenient, it seemed like the cable management was more difficult with there being so many connectors right next to the PSU. Maybe the 24 pin cable on a Corsair is just harder to work with though.
Love your work with the NR200!
I already did my NR200 build but you're the first to bring to my attention the groove/slot on the PSU shroud for cable management. I'll definitely use this when I install the v650 I bought using the link from your previous video! Thanks for all the work you put into your videos, man! I look forward to every video you post!
I would put this CPU fan on the other side so to be sure it will take cold air from the outside and not hot one from a GPU.
Great build.
SO excited to try this build. I've never built a computer before... so it's gonna be quite interesting! :)
i built my first pc last month, my hands were shaking as if i were performing surgery lol. But it was definitely dope to see everything power on and work as it should when all was said and done.
Sweet! Happy building- check back in whenever if you hit a snag!
@@MachinesMore Okay, thanks! Hopefully everything goes well... I don’t really know much about building PCs.
@@guitarshredder920 Oh yeah, it’s gonna be awesome!!!
You’ll be a pro in no time.
THANK YOU THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WVER
Don't you just hate it when your giant, fancy graphics card box takes up your table space?
Pointless, silly comment aside, this build video is amazing! Very simple and to the point, with great attention to detail on every step of the process and perfect camera angles that make it easy to see what is being done. Big techtubers just don't make videos like this anymore.
You are the go to for all NR200 things lol.
We call him NR-Master :)
This video was awesome! I would love to see a companion piece for a more budget oriented build with the NR200. You did a ton of work detailing the low profile and bigger CPU coolers with that case, and most of it seems to have been with an RTX 2070, Ryzen 3700x, and X570 motherboard. I would love to see you wrap up all that testing with a build that combines all you learned!
Fantastic content!! I will use same fan configuration
Subbed! Doing my 2nd build on this case soon, just waiting for it to arrive.
Coming from a NZXT H210i...
Thinking about doing this exact build (with my temporary gpu of course 😅). I really hate my current mid tower, I even got a bigger desk but still hate how much space tower takes up. This looks like the perfect size, smaller but not too small where it becomes compromising in function. I just need to look for a PSU that doesn't cost $300 lol.
I really appreciate this video, I'll be able to follow it exactly when the time comes.
Enjoy and I am sure you will love the case.
You are absolutely brilliant
thank you for making this video , let me have a clue how to assemble it
such a helpful video, thumbs up to you man
That's really a great set of videos from you about the NR200 and possible builts. Thanks a lot for that! Though tbh it's almost too much information for me on the cooling solution. My setup will be pretty identical but with the vented panel. As a result, I'll go with the fuma 2 which seems more convincing. Actually, I fancy a Noctua NH U12A but that seems pretty unnecessary regarding the almost doubled price. For case fans, I'll get a set of AC P12 which seem to do a good job. For the GPU I'll stick with my RX 570 and go for a 6800xt or similar when prices return to normal next year. Wish me luck, the last time i built a pc was almost 8 years ago :D
18:48 FYI this motherboard does include the adapter to convert from mini pwm to normal pwm for the second fan header. It's a little cable/adapter that comes in the motherboard box.
11:53 I have the same MB and can tell you to throw that piece of metal in the garbage, because is making the SSD Cooling worse, keep up the good work
found this vid a bit late but its awesome. thanks for sharing
New builder in ITX form factor, can't wait to start the build in this case but also a bit nervous. The GPU I will be using is the RX6800, and air cooling.
I did a nr200 4k gaming machine
Asrock b550 phantom itx
Cooler master nr200
Ryzen 9 5900x
Scythe fuma rev. 2
Aorus master 6800xt boosted to 2650mhz
64gb of 3200mhz ddr4
Cooler master sfx 850w
Corsair 1tb ssd + 512gb ssd and 120gb boot drive.
I run a msi 32in 1440p 165hz and get around 200fps in warzone in 1440p I also have a LG 27in 4k 60hz and I get around 120ish fps on it using scythe 2000rpm fans on the cooler and two top cooler master sycil flow fans. It’s nice and portable for work too
Absolutely fantastic and detailed video with everything explained. This helped me with my build...thanks. Do you feel that the Mugen 5 rear intake setup would still make sense if I put the mesh panel on instead of the glass panel?
It was entertaining to just watch you take apart the computer. Don't think I can even afford this though
Hi love your content! I’ve just started getting into PC gaming and specifically ITX builds on the last year or so and I have an Honest question for you, your setup always looks so clean and mint. You seem like a bit of a perfectionist which I can relate too. While working on your PC builds do you ever scratch or dent and pc parts like the motherboard or case?
awesome video! thank you for putting it together. Curious if you did any noise / thermal measurements on this rig?
Nice video 👍
thanks a lot for this
Great video, thank you! I've been agonizing over this case, however I've picked up an Aorus Xtreme 3080, and am not sure whether it will fit into this case. Any chance you could possibly do a build with one of these larger cards? Or would you recommend a mid tower size for this card? (This is my first build in about 7 years, sorry for the stupid questions!)
What micro screwdriver set do you use and do you recommend them? Thanks!
Great video, I have the same case and keep wondering if bottom fans are beneficial at all in terms of gpu thermals, running a Asus Dual 3070 without any bottom fans now, but may as well add them. What's your experience?
Great video, I appreciate your work! Perfect for my first build. I'm going for a 3080 TUF OC and a 5600x in my vented panel build. Still have not decided if I should go for AIO or aircooling for the CPU. I've read on forums that for such a low power CPU you could run exhaust on the AIO and still have great temps. But I wonder if AIO in exhaust would help out the GPU thermals? (more so then AIR intake) AIR seems to be sufficient and also easier, but feels wrong to have in with intake where there are no dust filter. What are your suggestions? (In my area the price difference for Kraken x53 and NH12A is ~10 dollars since X53 is on sale.)
I have the X570SI version of this motherboard... I'm wondering if a Deepcool AK400 will fit with the fan facing the rear as an intake? Worried the chonky VRM heatsink/rear IO shroud will get in the way. Saw someone had issues fitting it with a ROG Strix B550 mobo :/
Do you know the max height allowed for a m.2 installation on the back of the motherboard? I bought an Asus strix x570-i
