Ultra Airflow, Zero RGB - 1440p ITX Gaming Build 

you've mentioned this build on stream if i remember it correctly! good video ali!

@@hughlevantjames905 Sure did!

If you wanted to make it hard to beat you'd have put it in an Ncase

In the NR200p, it usually helps to use the rear as the cpu cooler intake rather than using a chimney setup. I myself saw a 5 degree change

Where did you get that msi b560i ? Is it released ? I can't find any in USA/CAN

Im still adding rgb to mine😤😈😂

@@senseicheems3270 😂

@@senseicheems3270 its a matter of taste. Both ways can look really good

Yeah. A case that is mass-produced, no water cooling, no RGB, no riser cable (which can complicate PCIe 4.0 compatibility). So really very little to trip up a novice builder-or someone more experienced who regardless wants something as simple and reliable as possible. I have a Dan A4 currently but this is probably relatively similar to what I would build today, if doing so from scratch.

realistic? 3070 is very realistic

and "Minimalism" And "Aesthetics"

@@sarthakk_kk pretty much the definition of clean

Dave is like the light mode version while he’s dark mode.

"Expensive OCD"

Dave2d sucks compared to Ali. He is for casuals. You can see when he throws his graphs on his laptop reviews where he only keeps it on the screen for like 5 seconds while showing a game right next to it drawing your attention from the information. Where as Ali has mastered the presentation of graphs by far better than even Gamer's Nexus or Hardware Unboxed. I really can't trust Dave2d just by him showing Firestrike temps and saying "yeah the temps are good" every single time.

Hi 😁

Boring 😴

Reminds me of your build oliur

@@jay-5061 Lmao go look at unicorn vomit

the brushed metal on the cpu cooler tho

Temperature of the Sun

Watercooled everything

Find any NZXT H510 Build lmao

@@dylanguerrero8053 💀💀💀

Really niga?

Mr clean: the great cleansing

You can buy the parts if you can swallow the price. I’d rather buy now and start mining while it is still profitable than waiting and hoping for change.

@@allansh828 That's assuming one has the $2500+ USD lying around to invest in a new PC. Mining's only an option for people who are already well off.

I sold my RTX 2070 two months ago. Now I need to sell all of my other components (3700x+b550i, Ncase m1) to be able to buy it back. 🤣🤣

@@zefengc LOL harsh. What are you using for a GPU currently, or are you just not using your PC at all?

At least your first ITX build wasn't in the Node 202. That probably wasn't the best idea, but it fit my use case best at the time. I'm looking at going to the Lian Li Q58 next. Space is still a concern and the NR200 is just a little too big for now.

MSI afterburner :)

Since you don’t have the bottom fans how do you orientate the cpu cooler?

@@Jacobvb11 I have mine set to exhausting towards the back to help pull hot air from the GPU. I played with intake from the rear and that did get better CPU temps but opted for GPU thermals. I have since changed to a 3080 and added intake fans on the bottom for that GPU because it runs so much hotter.

@@GR-cd2kx okay cool! Thank you for the info, I'm thinking of building something similar!

@@Jacobvb11 awesome! I’m super happy with this build. something to keep in mind with the NH-U12A and top exhaust fans apparently is that most but not all motherboards will work. Some shift the CPU a bit more towards the top which doesn’t give enough clearance for the top fans. I have an ASUS Strix B550-I with no problems.

Thanks :)

@@ΑναστάσιοςΠαπαζαχαρίου in

Is it as silent as this build ?

^^^ This :)

Or you just get a Scythe Mugen 5? :D

@@Lizard008 which from what I've read doesn't fit with the TG side panel unless you managed to get it to fit. If so how?

@@OliverRivettCarnac Odd. panel closes nicely for me. for what it's worth: I'm using the Rev. B variant, but supposedly it also works fine with the RGB variant: www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/j0wywp/nr200p_scythe_mugen_5_rgb_tg_panel_fits_wo_any/ I'm using two slim noctua fans at the bottom, and the top 2 fans that came with the chassis

@@Lizard008 Can say the same, using Mugen 5 with 2* 12cm 25mm fans without issues. I did have to flatten the iron wire (the one that holds the fan on the heatsink), and not use the grill for the back top fan. i.postimg.cc/qvzKtrfZ/IMG-20210422-201029.jpg Top fan and on heatsink are Noctua 12cm iPPC 3000 fans, and above the heatsink the Cooler Master Sickleflow fan that came with the case, on the back is a 92cm Noctua non-pwm fan. On the bottom, the GPU is a RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio, which i deshrouded and placed 2*140mm Noctua iPPC 2000 fans, in reverse (cold air moves in through side panel, through heatsink, to bottom). The plastic you see is tape, which i placed to block air and increase negative pressure coming into he heatsink, i know it looks kinda fugly (might use black tape instead, or nothing at all), well it was kinda a experiment to see if it's worth doing that, normally run it open. Yes, i tried 12cm fans to see if it improves further, it does for about 2°C, but a part of the heatsink stays kinda hot and since 12cm does not really cover the whole card, and the bottom needs to be taped so air does not bounce back in from the bottom. I thought, oh well, I'll just keep this so i don't have to buy new fans, it's easier too. Doing the fans in reverse was done because hot air would increase temperatures of the motherboard, any SATA or m.2 SSD's (even in the back), CPU, PSU, etc. This way there is always a high negative pressure, but all air is sucked through the side panels and the case air is always room temperature, components can't heat each other up, and it shows for me, components are not noticably affected (aside from air from the other side of the case, inside of the tv cabinet becoming a bit warmer and raising m.2 ssd temperature by 2°C). Still, even with this, in Furmark, the GDDR6X VRAM temperature still hits 110°C way too easily after some time of running. In Control, with 4K, DLSS 1080p, everything including ray tracing on High, i get about 87-104fps, core stays between 67-71°C and vram at 94-98°C. On stock, even with undervolt, this would have been worse. MSI did a absolute Shit job at cooling the VRAM on the Gaming X Trio, i can easily fix it by replacing the thermal pads and paste by some Gelid Extreme stuff, or even better with thin copper plates like some Russian guy did. I asked MSI if they would void warranty, since EU and The Netherlands have a Shitty warranty policy when it comes to maintaince and repair, were the manufacturer basically owns all your stuff, and warranty only applies if you use it exactly and only as the manufacturer desires. Compared to the US, were the warranty period may be worse (in the EU 2 years mininum is mandated), but warranty can not be void for breaking the manufacturer sticker and going inside of the card, making sure not to destroy stuff or use liquid metal (and proof it). Oh, and don't get me started on how they cancelled all those orders for people that wanted a 3080 Gaming X Trio (they said they would not...and i think they may do the same for the Suprim X since there is a Suprim SE), or how often their customer support is lacking (not always though). ....welp sorry about that, guess i couldn't help ranting about MSI in the end.

And I got mine for $120...

yep. retailers saw us morons overpaying for cards and got in on the scalping themselves. Sadly, the scalpers will still by that RX 580 and try to flip it for $900 :D

I actually own a 580 3gb version... But it just couldn't handle my new screen (3440x1440 144hz)... Oh but wait, it need to because it's impossible to get the card I want Oh wait, you guys are talking about the Radeon, not GTX 😬

@@misterringer I wonder at what point will people actually stop paying for this shit to put an end to it.

I got a used 1660ti for half price off MSRP back in June

What cooler do you have? Will Schythe Fuma 2 with closed mesh panel fit?

@@acoolxss2496 Yeah it fits, I have this config

I won't go out and call it mature. After all, "gaming" might be considered by some as immature but that doesn't make sense either. A more appropriate version would be that the aesthetics of this build are perceived as better by some than an RGB counterpart of the same. In this regard, I concur.

@@anmolagrawal5358 The defense rests its case. Adjourned.

@@chendusingh I appreciate your decision my lord. May the truth prevail

@@anmolagrawal5358 lmfaoo

@@anmolagrawal5358 Agreed. RGB lighting looks like crap only if it's done with bad taste, most commonly by overdoing it. A few RGB accents can look good, like only the RAM sticks or only the case fans and maybe some small lighting integrated in the motherboard. Also, "unicorn puke" or "rainbow" is just...no.

do you have pictures :) ?

What do you get by using the rubber rings?

@@soul0merk About 2mm of lift to get close to that de-shrouded GPU, and non-trivial noise dampening.

bruh its 8 minutes now for ads

I guess we'll be seeing a lot of them until AMD decides to cut the crap and release a long due $200-ish Zen 3 CPU

How did the NH-U9S hold up in the NR200? Good thermal ?

@@airrwalker i testet the nh u9s Cromax and the Bequit Pure Rock 2 Black and they perform the same for the 11400f. Noctua is just build so much better from a quality standpoint. Temps around 65C and 78C unlocked to 150W

@@LazyFoxClub Appreciate the reply. Seems like Noctua is cooling it well. Noctua build quality never disappoints

Did you make one? If so, how is it? What changes did you make?

Lucky🤑😩

Simplicity paves the road that leads to joy.

That's what I thought. In that config, if the cpu fan is pushing, the air is, at most, the recycled graphics card exhaust in the case, and if it's pulling, then means the top fans are intake so there's no exhaust fans at all in the case.

Same here in South Africa. Absolutely bonkers pricing.

Bruuh u can buy a used decent car for 3090 here

I'm thinking the same!

idk

Optimum Gains needs to exist. For all of us.
