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.

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

This channel is really underrated, it gives so much information and little tips, but as they say, "the more you know the better".

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!

Dude you're crazy, best newcomer hardware channel 2020 goes to you for sure!

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.

Actually planning on building my first computer in the NR200, so THANK you for the very detailed video!

You are the go to for all NR200 things lol.

SO excited to try this build. I've never built a computer before... so it's gonna be quite interesting! :)

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.

I'm planning to build my first pc since 15 years thanks to your channel

This is the clean build tutorial that I have not seen ever. Thanks

All my parts for my NR200P build have finally arrived, just in time for this excellent guide. Much appreciated!!

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!

wow this is the cleanest NR200 i've seen!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Most Relaxing PC Build ever

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.

Appreciate the cable routing guide. Love the build process video.

This is the video I’m gonna base my entire first build on thank you so much

this must be the cleanest nr200p build I have seen so far. Keep it up man!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Commenting and hitting like such that this video can get the recognition it deserves. Thanks for the guide!

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.

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

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!!

your channel inspire me to build my first SFX I never imagined we would get this much. I'm starting my build next week.

I woke up just in time to watch this video. Let's go!

Awesome tutorial. I would love to see a version of this with an AIO and 2 top fans instead of 1. Great work!

Waiting for Thermals videos on this~

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

It was entertaining to just watch you take apart the computer. Don't think I can even afford this though

Really god job with the cable management, the best i've seen in this case so far

I’m putting together my first build in the Nr200 and this will make a great guide!

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

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.

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 !

8:12 OMG lmaoooo i absolutely did not figure that out

Hey big fan of your NR200 content. I have more or less the exact same build and spent today following along your video putting it all together. One thing I think you should have mentioned is that if your BIOS is not Zen 3 ready, you need to flashback the motherboard before you install the CPU and RAM. I had to redo the build for this step unfortunately. Otherwise, nice video!

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.

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.

ANOTHER GOLDEN VIDEO FROM MACHINES AND MORE!!! UPCOMING MAJOR KZfaqR 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!! ^_^!!

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.

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!

Thank you for this video. It help alot as a first time builder!

I love your presentations and respect you. Hope your channel reachs bigger audience.

Awesome video. This is almost exactly the same build I’m putting together! Very helpful

Just found your channel... Amazing to see another SFFPC channel for us nerds who like it small! :D

Very helpful I plan on building in this case

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

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.

THANK YOU THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WVER

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

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

Just built in the case thank for the help!

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...

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

Very nice! Looking forward to seeing the results like the performance and thermals at 4K.

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.

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

Well done with cable management, however for some reason seeing those cables in front of the psu fan made me want to fix them :)

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.

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.

The air flow setup is amazing. Just have to find a dust filter where it sucks from the back

I want to build in this Case but next year I will do my driving license. In Germany the driving license expensive and I can't afford to buy a new PC. But afterwards I will build a really good PC in this Case. 😍

You are absolutely brilliant

Thank you so much your cable management was super helpful and your build order!

Also everyone Etsy shops have mods just search nr200 and they have different feet for a bracket for atx psu a bracket for top mounted 240-280mm aio

great informational videos! look forward to each and every one of them

Great work. I'm just waiting for my case to arrive and then I can put together my build :)

Great video 😊 I learned so much from this build

Awesome video! Right what I needed! Many thanks!

Nice work !

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!

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!

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!

Very good video and one i will use when i build in a nr200p next year.

Great video sir, keep up the great work!

Nice video 👍

found this vid a bit late but its awesome. thanks for sharing

Fantastic content!! I will use same fan configuration

such a helpful video, thumbs up to you man

Please note that nvidia recommend using 2 seperate pcie cables for the gpu. This is tricky with the V850 because both the pcie cables comes with those double cables really anoying.

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

thank you for making this video , let me have a clue how to assemble it

Soo Glad you used the Mugen 5

Subbed! Doing my 2nd build on this case soon, just waiting for it to arrive. Coming from a NZXT H210i...

Is it possible to add a A12x15 slim fan on the back of mugen 5? Will it benefits?
