Yeah I want a nice 1440p monitor so bad, the price keeps scaring me off.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Samsung should introduction the ssd 960pro by next month. You might want to add it to your shopping liste instead of the 1t 850 ssd.
You can savez some money not using à 3200MHz Ram. Except on your Wallet you should not notice any change.
Looking forward to see the résult of à 1080 plus accéléro.
yeah there are two 140mm (circular) fans that come with the C-14, personally I don't plan on using either, might migrate them to my ATX case or keep them for potential future project.
That's the one component I couldn't wait to install right away, the current I7 2600 + GTX 770 (2 gb) are not enough to drive AAA titles right now at that resolution but it's great to replay some old classics (playing black mesa right now). The witcher 3 is going to look sick...
just waiting for my cooler to arrive:
Highly recommend picking up the HP Caddy, part number: 654540 001 REV BI've bought 5 SSDs over the last couple years, various brands,
not one came with a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter. But you can get them cheap.

I believe most would have 2 fans mounted on the side of the case as intakes, then use the 14mm thick 92mm noctua fan as exhaust, leaving the space under the C14 free (some put 120mm fans, but i doubt this makes a huge difference personally). A lot of people on here don't even use the noctua fans that come with, as this case seems better suited around 120mm fans.

There's absolutely no way a vertically mounted watercooled strix would work in the ncase. It's simply too large and would leave no room for a radiator, anywhere. You'd have a hard time doing it with a tiny ass card like a fury nano and even that would leave very little room and would require plenty of case cutting. Concider returning or exchaning the card or just not watercooling at all, that might be a better, quieter solution.Hi everybody! Like many others I was completely set on the NCASE after seeing it for first time but only now am I able to plan and save for a new computer build. I am probably going to do a basic air cooled build now and a major overhaul in a year or two and watercool with Intel Cannonlake and the new Optane based SSDs.
One thing I have not seen in all the pages and build galleries is whether anyone has attempted vertical mounting of the GPU. I currently have an ASUS Strix 1070 and i know it will just barely squeeze into the M1... but that means theres absolutely no way to water cool it unless I vertical mount.
I realise that the M1 does not have the any space to modify the back IO area for a vertical GPU, and I do not want to cut up the case that much anyway. this means the back of the GPU will not be accessible from outside the case... but I already thought of using these Panel Mount Extenders to deal with the monitor connection. there are DisplayPort panel mounts as well.
This means that the GPU would not be secured to the case by the PCI brackets.... so now I am trying to figure out a way to mount the GPU either by some sort of adapter/bracket that will screw into the case to the right of the PCI slots, or a bracket that screws into the bottom of the case, or to the side panel itself.
If anyone has any idea please share. this is a long LONG ways off but eventually I do want my Strix card water cooled, vert mounted, and on display through a windowed side panel.
(Clarification, I am specifically using the Strix card because it has two HDMI outputs and I am getting an HTC Vive in the future as well. need to connect to living room TV and Vive at same time)

NCase M1 mod for vertical GPU - build log I found this, not real pretty but it works.
I was unable to find measurements on the Strix EK block but the Bitspower block is 144mm wide. So close.

I believe this post in the M1 thread at OCN is what you need to look at:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1365342/ncase-m1-prototype-a-mini-itx-case/460_10#post_22769471
I bought two of the 90degree cable extenders off ebay.
Qrash you are the fuckin man thank you so much, i dont frequent OCN and now I need to search through all their stuff too. that build is EXACTLY what I want to do eventually.
Just realize the owner has a friend who is a machinist and that build required a lot of custom work. Here is the worklog:
NCASE M1 - Forum PCLab.pl
Good luck, we'll be watching for your build updates.
I'll have the Noctua C14 CPU cooler by Wednesday. I also have 2 Vardar F4-120ER and 2 Noctua NF-F12 fans as well. I don't have the slim Noctua 92mm. I probably will not OC the i7-6700k CPU. And I have the nVidia 1080-FE model (exhausts air out)... and no traditional hard drives either, just an SSD.
So, with what I have for fans and the components I'm using, is there an ideal setup for the cooling?
I didnt see it mentioned in the last few pages, so apologies if this has been covered before.
Was just wondering if a GPU like this will fit in the Ncase M1
GIGABYTE - Graphics Card - NVIDIA - PCI Express Solution - GeForce® GTX 10 Series - GeForce® GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Water cooling
The GPU itself looks pretty reference sized, and it comes with a 120mm radiator, unfortunately gigabyte doesnt provide measurements for the radiator itself
My only concern other than the radiator thickness is whether the hoses have enough room to bend and whether the hoses might be too long (about 320mm)
Anyone actually used a GPU like this in their ncase? I'm liking the idea of running an AIB watercooled GPU on one radiator slot and running another 120mm AIO for the CPU, both mounted on the side panel..I'm assuming this case has no issue with dual 120mm radiators mounted next to each other in that spot though (not sure if I'm right)
Cheers
Hi Guys!
For all who have a Radiator on the bottom:
Which Slim Fans are the most silent one? I don´t know, which one i sholud order ...
Dan/w360 handles customer emails around twice a week, usually, so it may take a couple of days to get back to you. That said, I believe we're all out of the no-ODD slot cases, and cases from the next production run won't start shipping until November. So you may have to cancel your order and wait until November if you're really set on the no-ODD version. Keep in mind that the only difference between the no-ODD and ODD versions is the slot on the top panel, which is also available for order separately on the accessories page.Hi guys,
First post here. I made an account because of this case. Made an order yesterday and talked to Dan via e-mail. After 10 hours of creating an order, I made a revision that I will get the NO ODD version of the case but I haven't received any response from them yet.
I have read somewhere here that they provide great turnaround and support. Is this normal because my item will be ship on the 21st or 23rd (Taiwan Time) and I don't want to get the version with ODD.

NT06-Pro appears to fit fine however you'll find it will sit across over both side fan spots. I.e. if you want a fan on TOP of the NT06-Pro you won't be able to use both side fans unless perhaps slim (this is going off a side orientation of the heatpipes. with the tips facing the front of the case. I've just read this on a post on here somewhere, as the user didn't have a fan on the unit itself but had 2 side fans instead but a rather large gap (Here). It's not ideal turns out . C14 old school was ideal as it sat perfectly with the side fans installed. Dark Rock TF is similar height wise so works well in that sense but appears to have several compatibility problems otherwise. Some may work, but I'd rather not be breaking/cutting any fins, or use a riser card.
I'm keeping an eye out on used C-14's on ebay lol. I found one but it's like 200 AUD because they're asking 120 US -.- + shipping is like 40 US. zzz may as well get a friend overseas to buy it for me from NE. XD (am considering this.. lol)
EDIT:
I am curious if anyone here has installed the C14s though and used it in lower fan config? Wonder what temps are like..
Further Edit:
Uh, according to this review (Here) the Be Quiet slim beats out the U9S even with 2 fans?? I find this very... Odd and I don't necessarily believe it considering it costs half the price?! I'm very tempted just to buy it for testing sake... >.>
Also - This Website in German shows it matching closely to the U9S.. Take all these with a grain of salt as they're not the typical major review sites.
Who has a EKWB Predator installed?
Hmm,
hmmm, I am using the c14 w a single 140 mm, debating on whether this is preferable or not to a dual 120 mmm setup :/

Updates hopefully will have the pump/res mounted today so I can start planning the tubing. There'll be a rear 92mm fan + res, but until I replace my ram heatsinks with something low profile they do not fit.
