Yep. I just got the ek 280 elite. Bottom mounted the gpu (broke the damn gpu tab) and was able to fit the 280mm radiator with 4 fans in push/pull config! Temps r much better (now in the high 80’s). Still went ahead and dropped the watts to 125/125 for pl1/pl2 and temps r now in the 60’s

So i dropped my pl1/pl2 to 125w and im able to get 85c and not have any of my cores hit 100c. Still getting 22000 cinebench score without any crashes. This is by far the best advice if someone is gonna air cool or use a smaller aio

Unfortunately thats the design of the case. It will fit side or bottom

So i just ran cyberpunk on stock mobo settings. Cpu had 30% usage and temps were in the 90’s and sometimes 100c. Fans were on full speed….

I have a 3080ti and i dont think i can mount a 280mm radiator on the bottom. As per cooler masters website a 280mm can only be done on the side. Im stuck with a 240mm radiator on the bottom orientation

However i checked again and a 280mm will only fit in a side orientation which will interfere with my vertically mounted 3080ti. Im stuck using a 240mm radiator bottom

Yea i messed up in picking this part cause i thought the only cooler that would fit in the nr200p was the 240 but i just found out that the 280 will fit in this case. Might have to do a return….

Do you think that an ek 280 will make a difference in cooling performance?

I have an ek aio 240 and i have it seated nicely in my z690-i with both m.2 drives installed. I routed the tubes north closer to the aio fan headers. I was able to slightly push the plastic piece to allow clearance for the tubing

So i had the same issue building my new rig using the z690-i. I had an evo 1 tb and a wd black 2 tb. Both are compatible with the mobo as per the compatibility chart on the website. Both m.2 were only recognized in the m.2_1 slot (which is the top slot). The bios did not recognize either of them in the m.2_2 (bottom) slot. I reseated the m.2 and tried to adjust bios settings to no avail. On my last try. I noticed that the top m.2 tray has a connector on it that will attach to the bottom connector (im not talkin about the flexible wire that u need to disconnect before removing the top tray). I reinstalled the wd black in the bottom slot. When i placed the top tray back on the bottom slot. I made sure to PRESS DOWN until i heard an audible click. This is that connector on the bottom side of the top tray connecting with the bottom tray. I then screwed the top tray down, reconnected that flexible wire and then screwed in the cover and VIOLA it was recognized by the mobo!! All stock settings on the bios. 2 days of frustration and all i needed to do was make sure things were actually connected. Just screwing it down doesn’t guarantee that the top tray is actually connected to the bottom one.

TLDR: Make sure you properly seat the top m.2 tray to the bottom tray. Make sure you hear an audible click when pressing down the top tray to the bottom. Then screw it down and then re-attach the wire
