This little dragon was built with two things in mind; 1) maximise cooling in a SFF build 2) a baller machine where one could see it's "heart". The build is cooled with 3 rads using a top x-flow, bottom u-flow, and rear 92mm rad placed as exhaust. For top rad placement in the NR200P, I have seen extension brackets, to provide enough ram and PSU clearance, but I felt it took away from the case's original beauty and angles.

Case modding was required to get the fitment of the top rad right as well as the PSU shroud to ensure clearance of the PSU connector. I used the side rad mount that came with the NR200P as the mounting platform for the top rad. You will also notice that the GPU block and some fittings extend past the the inside of the case. I was able to solve the issue by getting tab extenders that offset the glass panel about 12mms. I used mainly EK ZMT soft tubing with some hard tubing thrown in the mix.

Since we could not get a newer card at the time of build, we decided to have fun with the GPU I had for the build, with the build theme paying homage to the MSI 1080Ti Gaming X, one of the best GPUs launched. I have torn more skin from my fingers with this build than I can remember. Nonetheless the little dragon runs very cool; idle at around 30C and under load hits 68C. We left the CPU at stock and gave the GPU a modest OC. Enjoy!
