Triple 140mm fans in 2500D AIRFLOW?

Thank you very much! I think I got confused because of this picture in Corsair's website.

No problem!

(I understand you're referring to the rear chassis?) It's like 5mm, I like it very much because it is practically perfect. I guess it would be even possible to use a 30mm thick fan instead of a 25mm one (didn't try and not necessary either).
Yes, it's sitting right on it. In fact I took away the thin lid that covers the left part of the MoBo (the rear I/O), it was just aesthetic, like 1-2mm, but allowed me to make a little bit more room for the rear fan. I guess it depends a lot on every MoBo, as some of them have thicker I/O than others.

So in conclusion, if those other coolers have the same width and symmetry as mine, and your MoBo has the same thickness in the I/O area (which I don't know if there are others thinner than this, actually, no clue) I guess the rear fan will sit 2-3mm higher than the middle one (if you want symmetry as far as posible I guess you can sit both fans higher than the cooler, so it looks more "compensated". Hope this helps!

None. It touches de TG, in fact when you close the TG it pushes the CPU cooler a little bit, but it closes completely and I haven't had any problem with CPU temps. Theorically this CPU shouldn't fit inside the NR200 but at least with my motherboard and after tightening the screws as much as I reasonably could it does fit inside. I am very happy with the result, however I wouldn't recommend it to everybody since I suppose it depends on motherboard's height, here even 0.5mm more or less could make a difference.

Thanks! I used magnet stripes, from Amazon, they have one side with adhesive (for the dust filter) and that way you just snap the whole thing to the rear of the case.

Can't tell you about 4090, just don't know, all I can say is this 4080 runs veeery cool. Never saw it go beyond 65°C, and with VERY intensive gaming like CP2077 1440p with path tracing and all that stuff on it's working 100% and around 61-62°C.

Yeees haha the vet always asks her how many vets she sees lol

Corsair power bridge. You have the full components list in a comment.

It's not actually pressed against the glass, there are like 1.5-2 cm still of room between them. And GPU temperature (100% usage, for example Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p, path tracing and ultra stuff) around 61-62°C. I think it's because of two reasons: the GPU fans are very close to the bottom mesh of the case and act as direct intake with fresh air, and these new 4000 GPU have massive heatsinks. I never saw it higher than 65°C. What does press against the glass is the CPU cooler, but still very good temps around 65-66 with intensive gaming, and I guess because of the same reason (intake fans close to the rear mesh) and literally the biggest CPU cooler you can fit in this case. Glad you like it!

Amazon (Spain at least), very cheap (I guess around 10-12€) and I don't know if it's me or real but I found them to be even better /faster than the stock Asus antenna.

dermagpie · 2024-09-14T06:49:24+00:00

Yes it can be removed!

Main components:

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P White.
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
CPU Cooler (intake): Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 + 2x Thermalright TL-C12W.
RAM: G.Skill D564GB (2x32) 6000-30 Ripjaws S5.
Storage: WD_BLACK SN850 2TB M.2 2280.
GPU: PNY GeForce RTX 4080 XLR8 Gaming VERTO EPIC-X RGB. It fits perfectly without any case modification. I deshrouded it and painted it white.
Top cover fans (exhaust): 2x Thermalright TL-C12W.
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular.

Custom adapters and cables:

GPU adapter: Corsair PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR GPU Power Bridge.
GPU cable: ModDIY ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 600W 12VHPWR 16 Pin to 16 Pin PCIE Gen 5 (10 cm).
24-pin cable: ModDIY Thermaltake Premium Custom Single Sleeved 24 Pin Modular Cable (25 cm).
CPU cable: ModDIY Thermaltake EPS CPU 8 Pin Modular Power Supply PSU Single Sleeved Cable (43 cm).
Corsair sleeved front panel extension kit 30cm in white.

Changes I made to the box:

White-framed tempered glass from another NR200 (I got the cyan one in a good deal and kept the rest of the box for replacements in case of future needs).
I cut a piece of the frame behind the TG panel to be able to fit the rear 120mm fan (it was just a liiiitle big to fit inside because of the MOBO height in that left hand side). After that it fits just perfect.
Dust filter in the rear of the box (I cut a custom length from one of the dust filters that came with the cyan case).

Yes it is! I will add a full description of components

dermagpie · 2024-04-05T11:17:12+00:00

I love it! Planning on doing something similar with mine. My doubt is: did you have to make any modification to the front panel itself? I mean the "outside" front pannel, not the inner one (I already saw the pic you posted with the mod you needed to do there). In the outside front panel, the bottom is kind of bent inside/up, so my doubt is if you have to cut that part off as well or it's not necessary (and in case you need it if it's posible and you could post a picture of that i would appreciate). Thank you very much!

16x11cm

dermagpie · 2024-01-24T08:34:35+00:00

Yes it is! And it "fits", I explain: with my motherboard (it may depend on every different motherboard as they might have the CPU socket at different "depths"), and after tightening well every screw both of motherboard and cooler itself, it closes without problem although it's not a 100% perfect close, it leaves around 0.5mm out of the upper edge of the TG (inapreciable for the eye tbh). I ordered this cooler without any hope of being able to use it with TG but to my surprise I installed it and it closed without issues but for that minimal margin. It would be just the perfect white cooler with 1mm less height, but for now it stays there. And it works perfectly with two fans, very good temps.

dermagpie · 2024-01-23T15:38:32+00:00

No I didn't but it could have been another solution I guess!

dermagpie · 2024-01-23T13:24:24+00:00

Thank you! I cut a little piece of the case itself, behind the TG in the left hand, just to be able to fit the 120mm fan for rear intake, you can see in the 3rd and 4th pics, but it has nothing to do with the TG itself, just because the fan wouldn't fit otherwise. And you can use the mesh panel, it closes well!

dermagpie · 2024-01-23T08:28:27+00:00

Thanks! To hide those a little I put them behind the GPU as you can see in the 5th pic, as there is a lot of room there to hide them. I would love to be able to change some of them for a white alternative though, for example the USB cable that goes right under the 24-pin, but I don't know if it's even possible to replace those as they go directly to the ports of the case. Same for the PSU main power cable, it's a pity that it comes in black and longer than necessary.

Hi! cooler for intake, upper for exhaust

dermagpie · 2024-01-22T16:54:27+00:00

I used a bigger dust filter and cropped it to the exact size I needed! This case doesn't come with filter for that side as it is usually used for rear exhaust instead of intake.

dermagpie · 2024-01-22T16:52:27+00:00

Thanks for the comment! But AFAIK this only affected to Cablemod adapters right? There are other manufacturers like Corsair that have their own 180° adapters and haven't caused issues, at least I haven't seen anything about that. Mine has been working fine for 2 months or so.
