NR200 CPU cooling/GPU orientation

[Habitual line-stepper]

So, I currently have an NR200P with the mesh side panel on. I am using a NH U12S to cool the 3600, along with a 3060 mounted normally (with two fans at the bottom of the case blowing air directly onto the GPU). My temps are alright, but not perfect.

Fellow NR200 owners: what are you currently using to cool your CPU (if AIO, how have you mounted it?), and what orientation is your GPU?

Cheers.

1080ti at the bottom with 2x 120mm arctic fans underneath blowing up.
9700k under a 240mm AIO side mounted with 2x same fans,
another 2 fans at the top blowing out.

GPU is overclocked and undervolted.
CPU is overclocked.

During gaming both CPU and GPU between 50-55 degrees. Will probably hits 60s mid summer.

NR200 mesh, NH-L12S on an 8700 (non-k, delidded) which peaks at 65 with burn in tests; gpu (3070 FTW3) mounted in standard position with 2 * 120*15 noctua intake fans below. Gpu is undervolted though (1950 @ 0.906mv) and peaks around 57 in benchmarks.

What I have found is two extractor/exchaust fans on top (I run 2 * 120*25 Noctua) drops my temps by 8-10 on both GPU and CPU. In take below, exhaust on top = best combination i've found. And runs whisper quiet

What AIO are you using? Also, what fan are you using above the PSU? I can't get any standard 120mm fans to fit lol

Are you using an SFX or SFX-L? Because a 25mm won't fit if you use the latter, and if you use SFX it has to be installed on the lower opening (you'll see there are two positions you can fit the PSU bracket). The higher one seems nice till you try to fit that fan

Hmmm, strange. I am using an SFX PSU. I will check which position it is in!

Fractal design S24 celsius. It works well. All my fans are Arctic P12 fans. They are almost as good as the best Noctua's, for faaar cheaper.

you need to use an SFX PSU, mounted in the lower slot.
