Posted October 24, 2019 Hi everyone, So i have just downsized from a 410 Phantom to a H200 for my new Mini ITX Ryzen Build. Having a bit of a dilemma atm, I'm currently running my 3600 with a H100i v2 on intake at the front of the case, two rear fans as exhaust and running a full size ATX EVGA 750w PSU from my previous system. My issue is my EVGA 980TI ACX 2.0 is obviously running much hotter that before, as expected (from around 60/65c to now 70/75c under load). My question is has anyone tested ATX vs SFX psu in the h200 with regards to GPU temps? i understand they will be more breathing room for the gpu but how much more! I know 75c isn't bad under full load for these cards as they run pretty hot but would like to try lower that temp down a bit if possible. Any advice?

Posted October 24, 2019 Author @Streetguru it has some okay meshing I'd say, the entire shroud top is meshed the issue is the full size atx psu is basicly right up against that shroud on the under side. So it kind of counters the fact its there! Did think about reversing the airflow that way, might give it a go and see what temps I get as my cpu doesn't get very hot tbh. Nothing over 55 in ryzen master (hovers around 45 usual) or 60 ish packet temp in hwmonitor with the h100 pump on quiet mode and fans with a moderate curve too. Since reversing the airflow will affect cpu temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GN used an SFF PSU (since it's part of their standard mITX test bench) which yielded good results. https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3332-nzxt-h200-h200i-mini-itx-case-review-benchmark Will it make a difference? All signs point to Probably. Will it be worth the $100+ you'd spend on a decent SFF PSU in a similar class to your current one? That's up to you. 10 hours ago, Streetguru said: It doesn't look like the holes on the PSU shroud are very large, unless there's some big gap on one side of it to let some air through.

Yeah SFF PSU's seems quite pricey for a decent modular one so i think i'll stick to my ATX for now. Planning a GPU upgrade down the line maybe in a month or so ( still unsure 2060 S or 5700 XT) so hopefully those run a little cooler and going with the shorter cards maybe i'll get some more breathing room.

How did it work out? Have You purchased new GPU yet? Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 20, 2020 I'd get a SFX psu as you'll be able to stick a fan on top of the psu (inside the shroud) to blow air up to the gpu through the vented holes. My 2070s was at similar temps to your 980ti and after I added the fan temps dropped by about 9c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nopee. was waiting to see what the Christmas prices where gunna be like and never ended up upgrading! Waiting to see what AMD releases this year. As for the games i play the 980ti has been doing me fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
