they're very nice aesthetically and great db levels

probably go for the nh-d15 on the Ryzen 9 5950x (can get in chromax.black) would check to see if it would fit in that Torrent Compact case though as it is bulky

get the u14s or d15. get the rmx 850w 2021 release if you're getting that tier. 980 pro is of course solid.

Finally after a year of planning this computer its all assembled minus a 140mm exhaust fan
went with the highly rated noctua nh-15. should fit according to specs. now I just need to find time to build it maybe by this weekend.

Actually been tinkering with it and I guess my big rgb ram isn't compatible with the 140mm cpu cooler.

I'll have to swap the front fan to a rgb 120mm or exchange my ram for some low profile dims.

Did you put ur mem stick on 1st and 3rd slot? You can place them farther to 2nd and 4th slot

Or move the front fan at the back

Yes, the temp difference vs push/pull is pretty negligible ~ moving the fan would be the easiest

If that doesn't work, replace the fan with that 120MM RGB one and move ram like
ghostshadow
mentioned

Vengeance would look great in that build.

Nice to see you're almost there!

recently built a MATX SFF build in the SAMA IM02 case (very similar to NR200) and cheaped out, went with atx PSU and non-modular. Never again, I'm going to rebuild it with SFX PSU with a custom loop, hopefully. Saw AMD drop a vid on a new series of CPU's launching, haven't watched it yet.. maybe that's the 7000 series.

I just went and exchanged the rgb pro ram for low profile vengeance lpx. Pretty sure I'm good now plus the air cooler is going to cover the ram anyways so there is no point in having the rgb ram if you can't see it. I definitely want to keep the 140mm front cpu fan in place b/c I want to make sure the cooler is working 100% the 5950x gets hot. I'm pretty anxious to see how the temps look.
