Great job on your first build! Any thought on sleeving those cables?

it's my first time hearing about sleeving cables! how would I go about doing it? a quick Google showed I can even customize the color of the cables? 👀 but it seems quite challenging....

It can be a challenge I won't lie. I made custom cables for my ghost s1 and it took me a few tries to get the sleeving melted at the ends so that it fits into the terminal. If you were going to make your own from scratch the first thing you should do is find the pinout diagram for your power supply so you know which pin is supposed to go where (make your own diagram on a sheet of paper). You could also reference the stock cable to help guide you. The rest is pretty straight forward once you know where every cable needs to go. Find the desired length of the cable, cut and crimp the terminal and sleeve.

Here's how mine turned out: S1 Custom Cables

Case: NR200P

Case Fans: Included 2x 120mm Sickleflow fans

Mobo: Gigabyte x570i Aorus Pro WiFi

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

RAM: XPG Spectrix D50 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 (2 x 8GB)

Cooler: ID-COOLING SE-234 ARGB

GPU: Gigabyte Aorus AMD RX 580 8GB DDR5

PSU: Dagger PRO SFX 650W

Storage: Samsung Evo 970 250GB SSD, 1TB WD Black HDD

Reused my GPU, RAM, storage from the previous build

Build notes:

This was my first true ITX self build, I had a Phanteks Evolv ITX and had someone build it for me. As a first timer, even though the NR200P was supposed to be easy to build it, I found cable management a real challenge but eventually realised I could route the cabling to the front of the casing and cable tie them there, saving space between the PSU bracket and the front cover.

Initially I didn't even go for the NR200P as my casing and wanted to simply reuse my old case, but found some rusted and dusty components and just decided to buy a new casing, forgetting I had a bought cooler that might not fit.

While the tempered glass panel could not close completely (see image above), the meshed panel could! But I still wanted the glass panel look, so I chanced upon the post by KythornAlturack about removing the top fin of my cooler, and it worked (although with a lot of difficulty). But everything seems to remain running well for now, so fingers crossed. My panel closes completely now and that's the important part.

So, just leaving this here that the ID-COOLING SE-234 is great and if you're okay with the mesh panel, then no mods are necessary.

If you wanted a perfect closure with the side panel, then you might want to get another cooler or remove the top fin like I did.

Cheers!!

Temps:

CPU - 40deg celsius idle, ~70deg celsius gaming

GPU - 37deg celsius idle, ~70deg celsius gaminh

I am so glad I could help.

I really wanted to use this cooler, as I really liked the top hat RGB design, and it does pretty well for cooling, especially once you add a 2nd fan (like a Arctic p12). Your temps are pretty close to what I am getting on my O/C 3700x (4.3ghz All Core @ 1.256v. 41c idle, 74c load.)

I actually even tested a Shuriken 3, and it didn't perform nearly as well, and surprisingly louder.

I may actually change the stock aRGB fan for another aRGB with better performance, but I will need to splice in the aRGB connection using the connection from the stock fan, since the top hat connects to the stock fan's aRGB cable.

Hiya! Please post more details about your build! You don't have to post [80 pictures (each with captions!) like u/M1AF did](https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/irlrg8/m1afs_ncase_m1_build_guide_c14s_and_deshroud/), but post more than just specs! Here are some (non-exhaustive) prompts for you:

  • Are the case's advertised compatibility numbers accurate?

  • How easy is cable management?

  • How effective is the cooling setup?

  • Would you recommend your parts overall?

  • If you did a custom mod, how did you do it?
