About This Build
Proof that you don't need a mid-tower to get serious gaming performance. This Mini-ITX build packs a 7700X and 4070 SUPER into a footprint smaller than most shoeboxes.
The hardest part was finding the right cooler. The Noctua NH-U12S Redux fits perfectly in the NR200P MAX with a few mm to spare. Temps are surprisingly good - CPU stays under 78C during extended gaming sessions.
The NR200P MAX comes with a 280mm AIO option pre-installed but I prefer air cooling for the lower failure rate. Sold the included AIO and put the savings toward the GPU.
One word of caution: cable management in ITX is not for the faint of heart. Took me about 3 hours just to route everything cleanly. But the end result is worth it.
