Hiya! Please post more details about your build! You don't have to post [80 pictures (each with captions!) like u/M1AF did](https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/irlrg8/m1afs_ncase_m1_build_guide_c14s_and_deshroud/), but post more than just specs! Here are some (non-exhaustive) prompts for you:

  • Are the case's advertised compatibility numbers accurate?

  • How easy is cable management?

  • How effective is the cooling setup?

  • Would you recommend your parts overall?

  • If you did a custom mod, how did you do it?

Total loop cost?

Bykski GPU Block - $114.06

Bykski CPU Block - $34.40

Fittings - $60

White Tubing - Already had on hand

2 cans of Spray paint - $20

Pump - $20

2 Noctua a12x15 fans - $40

Swiftech Rad/Res - This is old like almost 10 years old, I don't remember how much it cost maybe $80-$100

In all honesty would I do this again with a custom loop on a NR200P? probably not. Before I added the custom loop I was using a white Vetroo v5 with an extra Arctic P12 in push/pull config. This is the shortest white tower cooler that allows the TG panel to fit. I had 2 Arctics on the bottom pulling air and 1 above the psu exhausting air. The noise and temps were fine if not a little better then water! plus it looked pretty good as well. The only thing that water brings is lower gpu temps but with the stock gpu cooling It wasn't even that hot to begin with maybe 65c max that's with the gpu OC to the max core/mem stable.

These are the temps I took during a raid after an hour has passed in Wow TBC Classic.

I see 2 options for you.

  1. Ask if you can bring and use your SFF PC at work

  2. Quit your job immediately. SFF is life
