NR200P MAX Performance Build

My NR200P MAX - The Ultimate SFF Powerhouse!

Hey everyone!

I've finally completed my dream Small Form Factor build using the Cooler Master NR200P MAX. I wanted to share the details and some pictures of this beast. The goal was to maximize performance while keeping things as compact and clean as possible. It was a challenging but incredibly rewarding build!

I focused on top-tier components that offer excellent performance per watt and fit well within the NR200P MAX's constraints. Airflow was a major consideration, and I've tweaked the fan configuration to keep temperatures in check even under heavy load.

Here's the full parts list:

• Case: Cooler Master NR200P MAX
• CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K
• CPU Cooler: Included 280mm AIO (custom fan curve)
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-I GAMING WIFI
• Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6400 CL32
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition
• Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2TB NVMe SSD + Crucial P3 Plus 4TB NVMe SSD
• Power Supply: Included SFX PSU (pre-installed)
• Case Fans: Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM (bottom) x2, Noctua NF-F12 PWM (top exhaust) x2

The RTX 4090 was a tight fit, but with some careful cable management and orientation, it works perfectly. The included 280mm AIO handles the i9-13900K surprisingly well, especially with the added bottom intake fans.

Performance Benchmarks:

• Cinebench R23 (Multi-Core): 38000+
• 3DMark Time Spy: 26000+
• Cyberpunk 2077 (4K Ultra, RT Ultra, DLSS Quality): ~80-100 FPS

Temperatures are great, typically hovering around 70-75°C for the CPU and 65-70°C for the GPU during intense gaming sessions. Cable management was the biggest challenge, but custom sleeved cables and zip ties did the trick!

What do you guys think? Any suggestions for improvement or other SFF build ideas?

Wow, that's an absolutely stunning build, @GamerGuru! The NR200P MAX really is a fantastic case for packing in high-end components. I'm especially impressed you managed to fit the 4090 so cleanly. Mine was a nightmare!

Have you considered deshrouding the GPU and replacing the stock fans with slim Noctua ones? I found it really helped with temps and noise in my own NR200P build, even though it's not a MAX.

Also, for cable management, have you looked into any custom length PSU cables? Custom cables can make a world of difference in those tight spaces.

Great job overall, truly inspiring!

Re: My NR200P MAX - The Ultimate SFF Powerhouse!

Thanks, @TechNinja! I appreciate the kind words. Deshrouding the 4090 is definitely something I've considered. I'm a little hesitant to void the warranty, but the temperature and noise reduction potential is huge. I'll probably wait until after the warranty expires, or maybe look for a compatible aftermarket cooler designed for SFF.

As for custom cables, you're right! My current cables are the stock ones from the PSU, and while I managed to tuck them away, they definitely take up space. I'll have to check out some reputable cable modders for the NR200P MAX specifically. Any recommendations?

Thanks again for the feedback!
