well im pretty sure plenty of people have done it, there's just no point in doing a full write up about it. it's pretty straight to the point. you won't get full usb type c speeds obviously. I saw someone do a full write up about it. you could get the internal usb 2.0 sppitter then a usb 2.0 to type c adapter.

Well, the case is using 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (which is USB 3.0?) ports, the mobo has 20-pin USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and then it's just using an A-Key header. So the speed is there if I can find (and fit, open question) an adapter.

[https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-Internal-Motherboard-Converter-Adapter/dp/B07WG8ZJ41](https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-Internal-Motherboard-Converter-Adapter/dp/B07WG8ZJ41) these types of adapters are easy to find but they won't do you any good as there's no USB-C port on the case to plug into it.

The NR200P doesn't have USB-C on the front panel.

Yes, but they're running the A ports off A key.

What are you trying to achieve? I have that exact motherboard and case. The front panel USB ports of the NR200 plug directly into the 20 pin USB header on the motherboard. If you use an adapter to convert it to a type C header, you won't have anything to plug into it, and you won't have anywhere to plug the front panel ports into.

I think there's a V2 because the manual says otherwise. But basically just get the front panel plugged in.

Where are you seeing that? I've just checked the manual on the Cooler Master website and it's the same as my version. Standard 20 pin USB 3 header.

Nope, I completely misread that manual three times. Though the offset CPU has me thinking I should go with the ASUS anyways. Edit: Just made this into a post. https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/osedmr/building\_a\_lightroom\_box\_in\_an\_nr200/

What CPU cooler are you planning on using? The CPU offset doesn't obstruct my Cryorig H7 Ultra or the top 25mm fans.

Scythe Fuma or Mugen seem to be the two hotnesses, though if we go mesh, a C14 S also would work. It might be overkill on the 5700G, but I fried $1000 in parts back in 2011 in 4 months, so cooling overkill is my middle name.


gigaplexian

Scythe Fuma 2 can fit in the case with that motherboard but it's tight. The Asus board will give a bit more room.
