The Ncase M1 thread

khemist · 12 Jan 2020 at 19:06

Just played 30 mins of BF1, fans @ 1200rpm exhaust out the bottom 67c max.

CPU temps 62c max fans @ around 1000 rpm, 9700k @ 4.8 1.25v.

For anyone who has built in the M1 with a Corsair SFX PSU.... how is cable management? Is it worth getting the platinum version for the cables? Or even worth looking into custom cables?

I've been waiting on fans to complete my build but I have a Corsair SFX Platinum. I don't think the cable management will be particularly bad although the 24 pin cable could definitely do with being shorter. I have removed all the front I/O connectors (apart from the power one, obviously) and this has cleaned it up a good bit. It's simply just a flat ribbon type cable now.

The power extension cable from the back of the case to the PSU can be tucked nicely between the motherboard and case edge so that isn't a problem.

I'll be getting some custom ones just for looks even though they wont be seen, don't cost a whole lot either, $34 i got quoted for 24pin, 8pin, 2x pcie.

Good info, cheers!

Yeah, that's pretty cheap compared to some places I've seen.

So, Parcelforce say they have dropped my case at the Royal Mail Post Office...the post office say they haven't got it and its probably still on the Parcelforce van. I've arranged a re-delivery date with the hope that someone somewhere knows where the hell it is and it will get delivered. I've got a bad feeling about this though.

Are your rad fans pulling in or pushing out? And are you using the supplied dust filter on the side panel?

khemist · 14 Jan 2020 at 13:22

Pulling in with the filter.

So M1 owners, what hardware are you using and what's your cooling set up? I'll be putting a 3700X and 2080 Super into my M1 when it arrives, but still haven't decided on CPU cooling.

Random Guy Esq. · 25 Jan 2020 at 11:44

Actually, @khemist - I see you're using the Eisbaer LT Solo. How are you finding it? The LT240 is very much on my radar.

khemist · 25 Jan 2020 at 14:09

It's working well, i run the pump at 60% with a magicool g2 slim 240 rad, quiet and cool.

Nice one, thanks. Think I'll go for it.

khemist · 26 Jan 2020 at 13:21

I've ordered an Accelero xtreme iii, i'll be removing the fans and trying the 25mm noctua fans to test the difference.

khemist · 27 Jan 2020 at 19:28

Got the accelero fitted, kept on most of the heatsinks from the morpheus and had to use a smaller one on one of the memory chips to get it to fit.

Keeping the temps 58C with a quiet fan profile.

Random Guy Esq. · 19 Feb 2020 at 01:45

Just got the email - my M1 has shipped! Think I'll push the boat out and get some custom cables made.

LiE · 22 Feb 2020 at 20:35

Ordered a v6.1 in black today for mid march.

Now I need to decide on the best cooling solution for my 3900x. I think the Noctua C14S looks good with a couple A12x25 at the bottom.

A 240 AIO is also an option.

I'm waiting on my M1 to arrive and have decided to experiment a bit before settling on my final cooling config. I have an NH-U9S and an Eisbaer LT240, as well as a few spare A12x25 fans as well. I've only got a 3700X to cool, but should be a fun few days of tinkering!

Keep us updated

How much did you pay in customs?

Hasn't entered the country yet, but will update when it does!

Fair enough

This is the cooling setup I’m considering.

I have a 2 slot 2080ti on the way so should be fine with 2 x A12x25 fans as intake to the GPU. Then a C14S with the 140 fan is feasible with the PSU in the ATX position. That also as intake should cool my 3900x. Then a A9 exhausting at the back.

Anywhere we can get custom PSU cables ?

Apparently a Redditor by the name of pslate is known for sff custom cables.
