Cooler Master NR200: Optimizing Air Cooling Thermals Part II: Higher TBP GPUs and the NR200P

In the second installment of the NR200 air cooling thermals, I revisit thermals for the vented NR200 with a higher TBP GPU and the Noctua NH-U12A in the RTX 2070. Then, I'll show the testing and optimal configurations when using the tempered glass panel. Finally, I'll wrap up the discussion with some recommendations on suitable case fans and where to put them.
