NHD15 in Core P3 or TT H200 TG

[Aristotle2019]

So, I was planning for my first build, i5-9600K, RTX 2060 Super (triple fan, RGB, Asus) and ASUS Rog strix Z390-E motherboard. 

I wud be using air cooling and I'm quite intent on using noctua's tower coolers. 

I'm confused on which case - and the price difference isn't a factor between them - I'll get which wud be better for me both fit my budget

Now I know that P3 doesn't sound like an air cooling case but it feels like it's very free and open for air cooling. I also have a three fan gpu so. But the empty radiator mount wud be populated with RGB fans just for look, 3 120 wud do, just for looks, I don't feel it's useless. However, my room is closed and from a tropical country (India) I use the ac for over 7 or 8 months of the year 

The H200 TG is new to me, but it feels very lucrative. I cud buy 3 120 (front), 2 140 (top) and probably even a new rear exhaust - all airflow RGB fans - I wudn't really mind 

Just, let me know which is better for me, because I feel like both are good and lucrative for air cooling. The P3 gives me a good look, but feels rather useless with the dust thing, the H200 goes back to traditional layout, but provides a more proper air intake-exhaust system. 

 

(Other components are g.skill trident z 8gb×2 ram, wd blue 120gb ssd, Seagate 1tb HDD, 750w 850+ bronze thermaltake RGB psu (it was the only one available suiting my build, me and my budget) and other peripherals )

I would go with the H200 any day because of dust filters. Remember that the Core P3 is a mid tower case with full atx support and H200 is only Mini-ITX

Ohhh 

I didn't notice, thank you so much for telling me! I'll look out for a Z390-I then - that's also save me some money

But isn't it too tall then - for ITX at 40 cm? I'm not one with lots of hands on experience though. So I guess I'm wrong only on size.

 

Hang on, I checked. It supports ATX. "_*

Then it's all good. Quite upgradeable and oh yess, the dust filters. 

 

 

But cudn't I use a finethreaded lightweight brush to clean the dust off the P3 components?

This is the case: https://www.nzxt.com/products/h200-matte-white - 

Motherboard Support

mini-ITX

 - Z390-I is supported 

Yes you could but, I wouldn't do it myself.. I would use something like a DataVac ED500

This is the one I'm talking about 

My bad

I should probably change the title

Arh didn't know that one. In that "case" lol I would still go with that one (H200). But personally I would go with something like a Meshify C or Define C.. More expensive, but looks better IMO.. Meshify has the best airflow of the two.

Neither are available here locally or through Newegg

The CPU cooler clearance on the NZXT H200 or H210 (which I'm now considering for the USB 3.1 Type-C Gen2 )is 165 mm which is the same as the total height of the NH-D15. is that recommended? If yes, then I'm set. 

And the two small cases, support the ATX PSU I'm getting (the only SFX I get here as of right now is 450W, 650W is out of stock) and the GPU length is 325 mm which should fit the 301mm long RTX 2060 Super (triple fans) I'm getting - but is that sustainable for such a small enclosure?

And that 165mm tower in 165 max allowance thing too.

If the case lists 165mm of clearance, a 165mm tall cooler should fit.

The NH-D15 is excellent and the heatsink fits fine with the middle fan but the front fan probably wouldn't fit in the case over the ram. You could use the front fan elsewhere or go with the NH-D15S instead.

The H200 has decent graphics card cooling with the stock configuration. https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3332-nzxt-h200-h200i-mini-itx-case-review-benchmark

I'm not seeing anything better than the NH-D15S so I'd recommend just going with that.
