NR200P cooling question

[Youn]

So, I was going to start a build in an Cooler Master NR200P and had a technical question someone might be able to answer.

 

Because the Motherboard and CPU is above the location you would want to put a 240mm radiator (bottom) and there is no room to put a Radiator above the motherboard. Would it cause any issues if you put a phantech d120 distro plate in the location of the top fan mounts?  This would put a distro plate located at the top of the case, a cpu water block at about 80% up in the case, the pump at about 40% up in the case and a 240mm radiator at the bottom of the case.

AFAIK it's around 13mm thick

 

you can also get thin rad XSPC TX240 (20mm thick) + 2x nf a2x15 chromax (15mm thick)

and something similar to these "ddc pump + cpu block + res combo"

This was currently my plan (note: I am doing this twice because I am using my old parts to build a test system, then my daily driver to implement this again with a bit more confidence).

 

Test case: (i7-4790k, Asus H97i-PLUS)

Top of case mount: Glacier D120 at top of loop (Modified with G1/4 port on front side [now top side])

CPU: old corsair H110i pump repurposed for this

Bottom: old corsair 240mm rad refurbished 

In this case, I currently lack a gpu until I upgrade two primary computers gpus. At that point it will get a EGVA 1060 6gb. I will then water cool it for fun. 

Yes, am tearing apart a H110i (and a H60) to play around with them for this. 

 

Final case: (i7-9700f, Unknown board)

Top of case mount: Glacier D120 at top of loop (Modified with G1/4 port on front side [now top side])

CPU: Bykski pump combo on CPU

Bottom: XSPC TX240 with 2x nf a2x15 chromax

I will probably be water cooling the gpu when I get an upgrade. Note: that 1060 is currently the primary card in this. 

 

I will end up moving this to build section when I get to that point.

Anyone happen to know if putting a 15mm fan in the front bay area of the NR200p would do anything for the case?  There is 19mm of space with 2mm thick grommets up there for mounting. It could be either 2mm area or 4mm area to suck air from and push it into the case. Though, pointing it into front might drive the air along the walls out the back.  

 

The alternative might be to modify the front panel to allow the Glacier D120 be visible from the front.. but at that point, I am cutting the steel front with a dremel tool.

I think for hose placement the top radiator has to be turned around 180 degrees though, I don't know if that is possible with fittings. To bring the hose for everything down the front area of the case. Otherwise, you end up with a hose needing the cross in front of the board or lay on top of the GPU.

have a look at this, he managed a 280 rad on the side

Yeah, I am trying to avoid putting the radiator at the side, I will be eventually using the xspc tx240 on the top with 2 thin (15mm fans) instead. This will allow me to display the insides of the computer when I am done. I know, it's possible to fit three 240mm radiators in the system if I wanted to. 

 

 

I am building this rig in the build log section:
