I ran across this guy who goes by "chocolatex" on the www.chiphell.com forums. He has two posts that are mostly in Chinese, but have a ton of photos. Enjoy!
November 2013: Full liquid cooling build
November 2014: Rebuild with full air cooling
Thank you.
Hi everyone!
I built my rig a month ago. Since there has been some interest in EK Predator here, I can thereby confirm it fits in the NCASE. Yes, you do have to turn it upside down which is not recommended by the manual. However, checking the instructions of the pump itself, it seems that the orientation is OK in that regard. So the only reason this way is not recommended is because the reservoir is below the pump I think.
The cooler works well and is totally silent in desktop use. Since there is no sound insulation and since my hearing is quite sensitive, I can hear some high pitched whining from the pump if the computer is less than one meter away. Under the desk I hear totally nothing. After 30mins of Prime95 torture test the temps seemed to reach an equilibrium of 63c/1200rpm with a non-overclocked 2500k. Fans are audible but not distracting.
If you guys are considering EK Predator, I recommend 2 x 90deg + 2 x 45deg fittings, as this way the tubing is much less painful to get inside. Also you have to shorten the tubings quite a bit, so you do need to refill and prime the system. The radiator itself fits inside without any violence with some fiddling. If you have any questions regarding this I'm happy to answer!
Does anyone know which gtx 1070 cards will fit in the ncase m1? I currently have a gtx 750ti installed, but with 1440p resolution it leaves quite a bit to be desired.
I have been considering the Palit gtx 1070 Jetstream. Looks like a great cooler, but will it fit? It is a 2.5 slot card and Palit says its 285mm long.
it is going to be more expensive but i am most likely going to get a 1070 that fits and replace the cooler with the arctic acellero xtreme IIIAll right, but isn't a blower style card a lot noisier than a more regular design. I have never owned a blower style card, but I really appreciate silent operation so that is an important factor as well.
I can confirm. Have a gigabyte g1 here with 2 noctua fans blowing. OC of 2100mhz core and 5505mhz memory running at 78C tops in heaven benchmark.I started with a blower 1080 and was getting really bad temps. I had a 1:1 fan curve and was getting around 80 degrees with heaven benchmark. The fan was extremely loud. There have been some reports of people with non-blower cards here getting temps of around 70 with two 120mm fans on the bottom, one rear exhaust and a NHU9s oriented upward to exhaust out the top. I am curently waiting for a STRIX 1080 to try this out, as the founders edition was much to loud for me.
450w may not be sufficient if you're using a 1080 and 5820k. Just with my 980 Ti and 6700k, on full load it ranges from 350-400w.
I would tend to agree about that PSU... I'm getting one model up for more 'headroom', the SF600.
Can anybody with the mITX Asus z170 Pro Gaming help me out. I just installed it and for some reason when I shut down my computer it still triggers the LEDs on my headset and the LEDs on my motherboard stay active as well. This makes sleeping a bit difficult as my whole room gets tinged red. I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to disable this. I downloaded AI Suite 3 and was able to disable the Audio LED on the motherboard, but that was it. Asus support gave me useless advice...
Actually you should be able to disable the Audio LED in the BIOS according to the FAQ document on this subject:
Step 1: Enter BIOS, press F7, go into advanced mode
Step 2: Go through the path (Advanced\Onboard Devices Configration)
Step 3: Disable SuperFX Lighting LED
I will look for how to turn off the other LEDs.
UPDATE: A post at Tom's Hardware stated that AI Suite 3 should also let you turn off the flashing motherboard LED.
Nothing so far for the mouse LED. Perhaps try a different USB port? Really.
Another thought: according to the manual (Section 2.6.7, page 2-31) there is an entry in the BIOS in Onboard Devices Configuration where you can disable the "Asmedia USB 3.1 Battery Charging Support". Maybe if your mouse is plugged into an Asmedia USB port, this feature is providing it power when the computer is off?
Thank you so much for all the help. I will test out your suggestions after work tomorrow and report back!Actually you should be able to disable the Audio LED in the BIOS according to the FAQ document on this subject:

Here's a quick shot of the white M1, progress!

If you're worried about dust, why get the exhaust fan even? Getting intake fans for positive air pressure will do you better in that case.
I made a thing:
Predator was easier to get in here than I thought it would be. Ignore the GPU sag, it's due to the stiff ATX cable that the SF600 comes with, and I haven't had a chance to repair the custom cable I had made earlier. And yes, I know the fittings are two different colors... I was just using what I had.
More pics please! Can't ignore the sag though
Looks like your NCase frame is missing a plastic clip (top right of image). Should be a bunch of spares that came with it.
Yeah, that's from the previous EVGA hybrid cooler I had installed alongside the Darkrock TF. Couldn't get it to fit with the two clips in that portion of the frame. Putting those clips back in is on my To-Do list, alongside adding the FrozenQ radiator on the back for easier filling/bleeding/draining at some point. I also need to remake the 8 pin PCI-E cable, as I forgot to put any wire wrap on it. Not hurting anything, just an eyesore when I take the panel off.

And to get an idea of the tube routing I'm currently using:
