good morning guys - first time posting so go easy on me lol

Quick question for you for ideas on cooling. I've just built the NR200 up with:

Ryzen 7 5800x
Auros X570I
Deepcool Gamer Storm Captain 240x (first experience with an AIO)
Crucial Ballistix 32gb RAM
Samsung Pro 980
Radeon R9 Fury Nano (temporary solution to GPU issues lol)

So currently i've got AIO attached to the Ryzen with the fans pushing the air through the radiator out the case. i have one case fan pulling air in from the top of the case. i feel though that this might be a bit inadequate. i was therefore wondering what other may think/suggest.

TIA

I would try pulling cool air in and then use the one case fan (although I would also add another one) to push hot air out. Your one fan cannot compete with two AIO fans and you are using warm air to cool your components. Also, most likely with your current setup you'll be circulating your own already warmed air back into the case: pushing it from the side and pulling back in from the top.

Thanks guys, so having looked at Machines and More decide to go with 2 intakes (noctua 120mm) at the bottom, the AIO pushing air over the radiator from the side, then 2 more noctua's at the top expelling the air.
