Discussion Doubt to change nr200p

[joasjoas]

I have a first generation nr200p, and I'm hesitating to change (on a whim).
I have a 5700x3d, aorus 6800xt, and a SCYTHE FUMA 2.
I was thinking of looking for another box that could improve mine in some way, and at the same time try to put in some AIO 280/240 (even look for a box that allows a 360 aio and as small as possible), do you recommend any box to look at? I've looked at the Lianli a4-h20, the nr200p V2, or what else can I look at or do you recommend?

I have basically the same setup: 5700X3D, Radeon 6700XT Scythe Fuma 2. All of this in a Cerberus X case, which is too big for the hardware. I wouldn't recommend an AIO for that CPU personally, that Fuma 2 is an excellent air cooler. I had a Ryzen 2700X in that build before and the CPU cooler would become quite audible when gaming. After upgrading to the 5700X3D, it's so quiet as it is so energy efficient. An AIO would be a waste, that's 100-200$ saved.

I don't have any case recommendations for you, I'm not actively following the myriad of projects and new cases.

Caseend.com is a nice little helper in that perspective, but also, there always is the SFF PC Master List

The A4-H2O needs thorough planning, because if you pick the wrong AIO, you could be annoyed as much as I was 3 weeks ago, ie. the tubes getting nastily bent, plus having to kind of force everything in place.

Just switched to the trusty S400 V2, and aside a little side panel closing issue (AMD sockets seem to be 1 - 2 mm taller than Intel), I am absolutely happy I did the switch

Maybe this case might be something for you as well? I guess the Gigabyte Aorus 6800XT is a three slot card, isnt it? The S400 V2 supports 3 slots, up to 335 mm length, so this should work quite nice. Obviously this would mean using a low profile air cooler, so if you're concerned about less toasty CPU temps, thats probably out of question. On the other hand: Is it more toasty than a 7950X?

But if its just about going for an AIO-focused case, but smaller, then the Meshroom S / Meshlicious is always a solid choice
Another option might be the Raijintek Ophion (Evo) (16L / 18L).
