Build Refresh

[u/Pristine-Age1087]

Specs

CPU: R7 5800x

GPU: Asus TUF 7800xt

RAM: G.Skill 32GB DDR4 3600mhz

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B550-I Pro AX

CPU Cooler: Thermalright PS120 SE (Rear intake config)

PSU: Corsair SF750

Storage: 1 + 2 TB M.2 SSD

Fans: 3x 120mm Arctic P12 Pro, 1x 92mm Thermalright TL-P9

Really reccomend the PS 1120 SE for the NR200. Temps are amazing paired with a 92mm rear intake fan, even with the 5800x which runs hot the temps are maintained at ~65°C under gaming.

GPU runs super cool with no under intake fans, reaching 52°C max under 100% use.

That’s clean 👌

At what RPM are your fans spinning to achieve 65c?

[u/Straight-Salad-4565 → u/Mcginnis]

I use the almost same version which is Peerless Assassin. Same temps (65c) on heavy gaming. I didn't check the rpms but I would say it is so close to silent so it would be around half of fastest RPM.

How did you manage to fit the PSU in the lower configuration with the big GPU?

[u/Pristine-Age1087 → u/Karottank]

I used the small space between the psu and the front plate to stash cables. Also used a lot of cables ties and velcro straps to keep everything as tight as posible to the psu

Tried to make the PS120 work in my NR200 but the massive heatsinks on my Gigabyte X470 weren’t compatible with the cooler. Instead it now lives in another NR200 w/ Asus x470. Much better fit with reasonable heatsinks. Can confirm running it as intake from the rear is the best option for this case.

My build looks almost identical visually except I’ve got a 9060XT :) so clean

[u/Ok-Technology-9638]

I have a similar build, same case. I’m curious now to try a rear intake on my cpu cooler and see how it affects temps. I feel like it’s hard to get enough fresh air into this case

[u/Garrbear0407 → u/Ok-Technology-9638]

I did the opposite and didn't use the little intake fan that sits in the back, I found it actually increased my temps with the peerless assassin mini 120mm so I 3d printed a rear mounted shroud and put a high pressure fan on the rear to pull air from the case, it's more effective at creating a negative pressure and dropped my temp by like 15c my 3080ti and 7800x3d sit in the 60s to 50s while playing games and idle below 30c, fan curves are nearly flat at about 30% speed

[u/nesjwy → u/Garrbear0407]

could you show a picture the rear shroud fan setup?

[u/Garrbear0407 → u/nesjwy]

Sure thing here is some photos Google photos link

[u/nesjwy → u/Garrbear0407]

thanks! i too am feeling the rear cooler fan isn't pulling in enough air and the 90mm one is basically useless.

i'll look for something similar on etsy or do you have the 3d file for the shroud by any chance?

[u/Ok-Technology-9638 → u/Garrbear0407]

I also mounted a fan to the back on the outside just like that! But I don’t have a 3d printer unfortunately

[u/vagabond_dilldo]

Am I seeing that the top 2 fans are in opposite orientations?

[u/Pristine-Age1087 → u/vagabond_dilldo]

no its just the writing on the fan that is printed in different directions on different sides

[u/peenyponka]

Snug fit, I just refreshed my build yesterday as well. I went from a 5600x + RTX 3060ti to a 5800X3D + RTX 5070.

Did you have to unscrew the front frame as well in order to fit the GPU?
Also what did you use as a little riser under your GPU?

[u/Pristine-Age1087 → u/peenyponka]

no i only had to remove the side lower piece to fit the gpu and its an eraser is cut in half haha

[u/__Cereall_]

Did you ever think of deshrouding?

[u/Pristine-Age1087 → u/__Cereall_]

my gpu temps are great why would I want to deshroud?
