As long as the HDD doesn't block all of the vent below the blower's intake it should be fine--most of the heat is blown out the back of the case. The rest will radiate mostly upward, and should be blown out by any exhaust fans you have up there.skhmt said:Is it dangerous to put a regular HDD under a high TDP (980 ti) blower GPU? It seemed really hot.
Quick question - is anyone using the Samsung SM951 M.2/PCIe ssd in their Ncase M1 builds? I'm assuming it's the slot out on back of the board. Would you have to mount a fan over it or something?
I've got it exhausting out the back, I have yet to try top exhaust.
Might be worth trying tonight.
Is it possible to use accelero xtreme 4 without the huge backside heatsink, using my own heatsinks in frontside ofc.
No store sells accelero xtreme 3 in Finland. =/
Yes it's possible, although you should mind that the shafts going through the four main holes in the PCB around the core extend about 20 or 30mm above the PCB. You can see this somewhat in the following picture:
Above the heatpipes on the left, the silver vertical long thumbscrews.
Yes it will fit, but with significant difficulty if using both fans. It looks like it comes with 8 long screws - 4 for each fan - so using it with one fan is straightforward.Will a Corsair h75 fit in an ncase m1? If not, does it come with screws to mount only one fan?
Is that your setup? It's pretty much exactly what I was looking to do.
If so, can you comment on heat/noise?
If you are referring to my picture, it's a Scythe Kabuto II, as there were only a few beefy CPU coolers that don't extend past the left fan on the fan bracket.Also, is that the NH-C14? I have most of this already, just waiting for Skylake availability.

Wow, nice Lian-Li QC.
The case may have just been bent during shipment--that's what it looks like to me, at least.
Hey guys.
Bennmeaning to ask this. Those of you that have a GTX 980 Ti, whick model do you have?
Benn looking at the palit jetstream since it the cheapest available right now and with two huge fans will produce great temps. Don't know if it will fit.

This is one of the original batch v1 cases, if it was bent during transport, I would have noticed by now
I doubt this is a manufacturing error, I expect that something has changed with the dimensions in between those 4 versions.
I'm not happy about this, at all. I had the same problem with the first sample steel bracket they sent me, so I had them move the holes forward. Second sample ended up being too far forward and I asked them to move them back again, but only a little. There shouldn't be differences between how the bracket fits on different chassis versions, but it might be that individual chassis or brackets end up out of tolerance and they match them up during assembly. I don't know at this point.(...)
Here you can see it doesn't line up.

Don't sweat it, my problem is not really an issue. If anything, I'd fix it myself with a small file to lengthen the holes. I am however amazed that this seems to be a Lian-Li QC issue.Anyway, I apologize to you, Phuncz, and anyone else that has this issue with the new bracket not lining up. Please contact us through the website and we'll see about getting replacements.
Not worth it for me, my case is stable, not wobbly. So I'd like to keep it that way.phuncz - it might be worth utilizing the case flex technique provided to those of us with the v2 wobble feet issue - it may assist in lining up your holes a little better if your case is somewhat flexed.
EK just released an expandable AIO. http://www.techpowerup.com/215197/ek-water-blocks-announces-ek-predator-aio-cpu-cooler.html
I wonder if it will fit in the ncase due to the pump/res hanging off one end. i hope it does, because it would make for a pretty perfect cooling setup for the ncase.
Hey guys, dropping in again now that Skylake has dropped. Has anyone hopped on that new EVGA mITX board that's being sold? I'm thinking of heading down to Microcentre and picking it up along with the new processor, but I just wanted to know if anyone's been spectacularly early by jumping on it.
I really doubt it. An h100i seems to barely fit and it has a 27mm thick rad + 25mm thick fan. The Predator AIO has a 68mm thick rad + 25mm thick fan.
Then of course, as you noted, the pump/res on the side.
Yes it will fit, but with significant difficulty if using both fans. It looks like it comes with 8 long screws - 4 for each fan - so using it with one fan is straightforward.
Am I the only one in this place waiting for Skylake and a decent selection of Z170 m-ITZ motherboards to hit the market? My beautiful NCase M1 is just collecting dust in the corner :/
